Summary
Alfred Goldsborough Jones was a lawyer in New York City. His journals cover the period of 6 June 1840 to 27 November, 1867, and give some account of his education at Columbia and Harvard, circa 1840-1843; his legal training and practice of law; his service as an officer and director of the Sixth Avenue Railway Company, circa 1857-1864; his association with lawyer Theodorus Bailey Meyers; and the social, political, and cultural life of New York City and New Brunswick, New Jersey. Jones' voyages and travels in North and South America and the Pacific are extensively documented. Journals are accompanied by a chemistry notebook containing "Notes with Professor Renwick" of Columbia College.
