Hi,

I have another random freebie here.  It is an 1845 Punch’s Pocketbook diary (covers 1845-47), author unknown.  I don’t even know where the lady in question lived – she mentions going to Melrose, Blair Drummond, Edinburgh, and even Zurich.  It was given to us about 20 years ago by a local lady who got it from a relative, but even she had no idea of the identity of the original owner.  The diary doesn’t even tell us very much about her life, other than that she appears to never have been at home, but the book itself has lots of stories, articles, &c as well as the usual diary information, so might be of interest to someone.

Any takers?
