The diarist is from Bootle, but otherwise unidentified. He visits Lincolnshire relations at Swarby. At Lincoln he considers the Asylum to be “a very comfortable sort of place for that class of individual”; the Cathedral, “never saw a finer building only it was York.” He travels on to Nottingham, Derby, Birmingham and back to Bootle. At the end there are some entries about Post Office orders, and notes of expenditure for traveling. - Subject Terms:
