Evidence: | '... I took up a London paper, and the first object in it which struck my eye, was the death of Charles Lamb. I felt it as a friend of the deceased for, although I had never seen Mr Lamb, yet from our correspondence , I know the kindness of his heart the same as if I had been personally acquainted with him; and this paragraph drew forth peculiar reminiscences; and upon it I ruminated during the remainder of this day, and of many succeeding ones.' |

"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." |
