Margins occupied by occupations (1702).A reader has marked up this copy of Charles Hoole’s The common accidence examined and explained by short questions and answers (London: Printed by M. C. for Tho. Armstrong, 1702) to include an occupation on nearly every page. It appears to be a kind of fortune telling game, where you open the book to a page at random, and you’ve found your future career. Hoole’s book was a popular Latin grammar in English. -- source link
