http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/243620846

Diary of a young woman of the English nobility, recording events from 10 June to 31 December 1808. The entries for June and July record travels centered in Cheltenham, including a visit to Shakespeare-related sites in Stratford and many trips to the theater, particularly to see the actor William Henry West Betty. The entries for the rest of the year describe daily life in London and Wimbledon and give details of lessons, visits, dinners, and more trips to the theater, with frequent references to painter and writer Henry Fuseli, a friend of Susan North's mother. The diary has a soft leather cover and is interleaved with blotting paper.
