William Makepeace Thackeray : Vanity Fair
'I have been reading "Vanity Fair" again & found it even more enjoyable than when I read it for the first time. I really think I like the Book better even than any of those of Dickens. "Becky Sharp" is prodigious. I thought however it to be a great mistake to pull Mr Sedley down so quickly after his bankruptcy & make him so soon appear so dreadfully shabby, humble & contemptible, particularly as "Jos" did what was necessary to prevent his parents being in want as he is stated to have sent instructions to his agents to furnish what money was required. The description given of poor old "Sedley" is the most painful & most truthful description of a ruined man without hopes or friends but the fall to such a condition would be very gradual & Sedley had'ent the time given him to arrive at it any more than his glossy coats had had time to become white in the Seams & Greasy in the collars.'

'Was favoured this morning by Post with an extract from the Pall Mall Gazette on the manner in which the punishment of "Hanging" was carried out. The writer from English experience argued that the necks of the criminals were as a rule not dislocated & that those who died at the hangman's hands were simply throttled. The writer considered the punishment might be much more humanely carried out. The simple truth of the matter is the ropes used in England are not long enough. If more fall was given dislocation of the neck would take place & from what I have seen in this country no fault could then be found as the death would be both merciful & speedy.'

It describes fully all sorts of different plans & attempts at Escape made by "Jack Sheppard" & others & is just such a book as would fire the imagination of the "larrikin" class who evidently consider "breaking prison" a most heroic exploit & who would as a rule put up with extra loss of liberty for the glory of appearing in the papers & being thought "lads of spirit" by their contemporaries.'

[unknown] : Sarah Barnham
'Came back by the half past one train [from?] Town, after buying "Sarah Barnham" at [the?] Station. Amused myself by reading her very strange history as related by her biographer or assumed biographer who has certainly taken considerable license as she details the death of her subject though it is well known that "Sarah Barnham" is meant for Sara Bernhardt the great actress & that Sara is still among the illustrious living. The Book is a horribly spiteful one & well illustrates the spite one woman can show against another.'

'Bought the Evening Herald. There was not much in it excepting an account of the injury done to one of the Turret guns of the Cerberus when she was lately firing shell for practice. It seems that the expensive monster is rendered unsafe if not altogether useless'
