Daniel Robinson
Robinson kept this diary from July 24, 1865, to May 16, 1866, the last year of his life. The diary is full of introspective personal and religious commentary. On his 89th birthday (April 8, 1866) Robinson comments, "This is my Birthday: I am eighty nine years of age this day and a great sinner: an enormous violator of the laws and commandments of my God, though he hath been all my long sinful life through, so wonderfully and surprisingly merciful, and astonishingly gracious...". Robinson writes of using his telescope and notes the appearance and positions of Venus, Jupiter, and other planets and stars. On January 14, 1866, he records "...there was a shock of an earthquake in Hallowell and fissures or cracks and crevices were produced in the Earth by the sides of roads or streets. He also writes about family and household events and notes the deaths of neighbors and friends. Accompanying the diary is the author's corrected proof of the Maine Farmers' Almanac for 1829.

Daniel Robinson Papers
Miscellaneous papers, consisting primarily of deeds for land transactions in Portland and Cape Elizabeth, Me., involving Daniel Robinson and John Robinson, John Hobart, Henry Titcomb, William Seavey, David Westcott, and John Anderson, all of Portland, Me., as well as Aaron Melcher, of Falmouth, Me. Also includes a marine insurance policy on the ship Jewell for a trip to St. Petersburg, Russia, and several building agreements for structures on Union Street, in Portland.
Consciousness and Mental Life
Begins with Aristotle and the ancient Greeks and continues through to René Descartes, David Hume, William James, Daniel Dennett, John Searle, Richard Rorty, Hilary Putnam, and Derek Parfit. Approaching the issue from both a philosophical and a psychological perspective, Robinson identifies what makes the study of consciousness so problematic and asks whether cognitive neuroscience can truly reveal the origins of mental events, emotions, and preference, or if these occurrences are better understood by studying the whole person, not just the brain. He corrects many claims made about the success of brain science and provides a valuable historical context for the study of human consciousness. From publisher catalog.
