Default 'Views In The White Mountains' inscription mystery

I was wonder if anyone could help on my small mystery from a book in our area.

In 2012 I purchased ‘Views In The White Mountains’ one star edition by M. F. Sweetser 1879. Once it arrived I found an interesting inscription dated 1881 from a John W Robson. I have tried to figure out what it says but I have had no luck to date. I have sent the inscription to a number of people that specialize in language and this is the best to date.

What it is not: Hebrew, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Indic/South Asian, Math equations. It is potentially Shorthand or Native American. A number of people that know shorthand say it is not anything they recognize. So the thought is it could be a portion of a syllabary developed for a Native American language as the location and time period noted on the document fits that time.

I did reach out to a Native American Education Consultant out West but they indicated there are upwards of 175 Native American Languages.

So I thought I would throw this out here to see if anyone has a guess or maybe knows someone that could take a look at it.
