Diary, 1830 Sep 1 - 1831 Sep 23.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702176763

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a daily journal in which the writer records his religious and social activities as well as current political events. He reports assiduously on his active religious life, attending brotherly meetings; prayer meetings; and church meetings, during which he hears sermons and describes their contents, praising an American preacher's sermon and criticizing that of Captain Stewart, who advocates the immediate emancipation of slaves. He also records the events of his weekly teaching at Sunday School and notes that on September 14, 1831 a jubilee of Sunday Schools was held in honor of the birthday of the founder of Sunday Schools, Robert Raikes. He also describes teas and dinners with friends and family; a birthday supper for himself to celebrate his 21st year; and goes to the theater, exhibitions put on by the Society of Arts, and concerts. In vol. 2, he mentions that he has completed 2 of his 4 years of apprenticeship with Mr. Drake. Elsewhere, he mentions the arrest of Chidlaw, the publisher of the Argus; and comments throughout the diaries on the progress of the Reform Bill; commends the activities of the Birmingham Political Union to petition the King to dismiss the current ministers; and reports on resignation of the Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington and Robert Peel.
