 Item — Box: Firth Manuscripts Box 1
Reference code: 58/1/9

Scope and Contents

This diary is a notebook larger than the usual diaries, in which Elizabeth Firth records her journey and holiday to London May - September 1819, with her Aunt Walker. She records specific sights seen in London in detail, including Vauxhall Gardens (5 July) and Westminster Abbey (3 August). There is little overlap with the regular diary in the engagement book for 1819, which notes all the expeditions day by day.
