| Description | his journey to town in the mail coach was more agreeable than travelling in the heavy coach "The mail admitting but four inside passengers gives an opportunity of leaning into a corner…whereas in the heavy one, one may chance to fall to a middle seat beside the disadvantage of being a longer time upon the road"; has managed to procure a reader's ticket for the British Museum, where reading is from 11am to 3pm, five days a week; has found several things which tend to reflect strongly on William Dakeyn who is styled the lewd usurper of the office of Norroy King of Arms; spent nearly the whole of Saturday in Doctors Commons, transcribing (with great difficulty) old wills.
