Includes an account of his voyage to and return from Liverpool, England, aboard the ship "Southern" and his stay there in the summer of 1836. Among his friends mentioned prominently in the diaries are Julia Ward (Howe), Sarah Douglass, Rev. J.M. Mathews, Samuel Ward, and P. Vandervoort. The diaries also contain poetry, loose correspondence, and the occasional writing in Greek.
