Evidence: | 'On the circular table in the centre of the room was placed among other books an album, and Mr Storey being called away, I noted the following excellent morsels of literature: "It is a good rule that our conversation should rather be of things than of persons: for thus obvious reason, that things have not a character to lose." "To take sunshine pleasure in the blessings and excellencies of others is a much surer mask of benevolence than pity their calamities".' |

"John Cole kept diaries throughout his life - and then used the diaries to produce a manuscript 'An Account of the life of John Cole of Scarborough' (started in 1829 - 18 volumes). Much of the substance of the MS is based on his diaries (and appears for much of the MS to be copied direct from his diaries). The original diaries are apparently no longer extant." |
