: The European
Biographical Notices of Painters were eagerly sought at this period; but my reading, upon the whole, was of rather a desultory nature, being fond of variety; accordingly a volume of some Magazine generally 'The European' was my Companion at the Tea-table. Topographical works, and Tours through England, were books which pleased my taste.

unknown : Announcements of Lectures on Geology
'In the interim walked on the Sands & when there the rain descended more heavily, I nevertheless searched up some seaweed. Returned. Took shelter under the Museum cornice, & examined the Old Effigy, of which I had a plate engraved during my residence at Scarbro'. On looking at Posters on the walls, I discovered the announcements of Lectures on Geology on the Tuesday of the next week. This, thought I, is against me; and the weather unfavourable; & no lodgings at my old resort, made me regret my excursion; but subsequent success in obtaining subscribers for my lectures re-invigorated my spirit.'
