The Family Topographer - by Samuel Tymms, published in 1835, London, J B Michael Sanson, 25 Parliament Street, and Simplan and Co, Stationer's Hall Court. Five shillings a volume. 8 page advert attached in Cole's diary (p. 127-8). Add Mss 153/9 (also 2 sided review) "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." |
