SIR ALGERNON WEST: diary; 1856-16 Oct. 1861, with a few gaps, most notably for 19 Aug.-27 Sept. 1861. Containing mostly very brief entries concerning West's family and social activities, with a few references to his work as a clerk of the Admiralty, 1854-1860, and as private secretary to Sir Charles Wood at the India Office, 1860-1866. The diary was not used in The Private Diaries of the Rt. Hon. Sir Algernon West G.C.B., ed. H. G. Hutchinson (1922), and little used, if at all, in West's Recollections 1832-1886 (1899), where dates given for events do not always coincide with those given in the diary. The diary contains little of importance compared to West's earlier and later diaries and is mainly of value as a guide to the latter's movements and as being supplementary to the Recollections; a few details not given in the latter work appear in the diary. Presented by Dr S. G. Roberts, 26 Feb. 1982.
Paper; ff. 209. Original binding of black leather. 214 x 165mm.
