Additional Comments:

This is a diary entry written by the reader. The diary was usually, but not always, written on the date of the experiences described, and so the experiences described usually relate to that day. The work in question may be General Custine's Biographical Anecdotes of the Founders of the French Republic, but there is no way of knowing this.
