Nota do arquivista
Entry from the catalogue from Dr Hyam:
An undergraduate diary of any date would be interesting, but this is particularly so for the years covered, for which so little other material survives. There are sharp portraits of dons in classics and history; also accounts at the back of the volumes. It is written in good style, avoiding sentimentality, and reflecting an intelligent and cultivated mind. Among his friends was Andrew Cohen, destined for fame as a Colonial Office official and governor, of whom an interesting portrait emerges. The diary has value as indicating the attitudes, education and training of an Indian Civil Service officer.
