Very full, detailed and interesting: only one day missed in twenty six years. The diary was copied up from pocket books, often much later, and incorporates occasional observations about later outcomes of events recorded; it must be a matter of speculation whether there was other significant self editing during the copying, but while the diary is a fascinating and very valuable daily record of activities, visits and transactions, there is an almost total absence of feeling or emotion and the diarist records neither joy nor sorrow, hatred nor affection; even his motives and responses in family affairs which must have affected him closely, are either concealed entirely or mentioned in the most objective and factual way. 1. - Extracts in Blundell's Diary edited by T.Ellis Gibson. 1895.
