"Fifteen Days: An Extract from Edward Colvil's Journal" by Mary Lowell Putnam is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work presents a detailed and intimate glimpse into the life and reflections of Edward Colvil, who recounts significant events over fifteen days in 1844, focusing on themes of friendship, love, and societal issues during that era. Central characters include Edward Colvil himself, as well as his new friend Harry Dudley and the visiting scholar Dr. Borrow. At the start of the journal, Edward reflects on the joys of life and the arrival of his friend Harry Dudley, who brings a sense of brightness into his previously mundane days. We learn about their preparations for the visit of Dr. Borrow, whose scholarly pursuits draw intense admiration from both Edward and Harry. Through warm interactions and lively debates on various topics, including the social implications of race and friendship, the opening portion sets the stage for deep connections and challenges the characters will face in their respective lives while pondering broader social questions of the time. The introduction immerses readers in a richly developed world of personal and societal dynamics that promise further exploration throughout the narrative.
