11 January

Wednesday 11^th. At Mus^m. Finished Cleop. A. XVI. These annals

_^^are the composition of three several writers. From 1299 to 1325,

by ######^Robert de Redyng, monk of Westm^r. who #####^gives an #####^account

of the death of Aymer de Valence _^^Earl# of Pembroke, which

I have in vain sought for elsewhere. Adam Murimuth

continues the Chronicle to 1345. and thence, to the end, 1376,

is the work of John de R. a monk also of Westm^r.

Began to copy the remaing Charters post Conquest

of my old friend the Chertsey Chart^ry. Vit. A. XIII.

Met Henry at 4, & called on the Browns, Portland Place,

not in town yet. Went to the Rices, & met there young

John Brown of Purbrook, an old acquaintance of mine,

who is now at Clare Hall Cambridge, with _^^Henry Victor and

Reeks. This perhaps will be pleasant for me when

I am ######^{at Cambridge}. We dined at the Rices, & afterwards,

walked to Hatchett’s, to see Weyland Powell, who is in

town. He was out, so _^^we went to the _^^Royal Institution _^^{Albermarle St.} & read the

Reviews till 11 oC.
