Next to him is Tho_s drawing on a slate one of the mountains on the highlands of Scotland... Next is rank sits Mary, putting some reparation to a white cotton stocking, and then follows Emma [...] The scenery of the table consists of Wakefield's Family tour - Dr Dick's Christian philosopher, a vol or two of the Children's Friend - slate - inkstand - cotton-box lined with pink, knife and scissors.' |

| 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. |
