I lately had entrusted to me an interleaved copy of the first edition of the 'Diversions of Purley,' with notes and emendations for the second edition in the author's handwriting. The most interesting feature in the book, however, lay in a rough diary, kept by Horne Tooke from May to October, 1794, whilst he was a prisoner in the Tower, awaiting his trial for high treason, extracts from which I now give for the readers of N. & Q.' Since the author's death the volume remained continuously in the possession of his descendants or kinsmen till some fifteen years ago, when it passed by will to the late owner, whose executor kindly lent it to me. The writing is in places somewhat crabbed and difficult to decipher : Thursday, May 15. Dine at Pearson's. Joyce's letter. May 16, 1794. Friday at Noon apprehended by Swift, Police Officer, Marlborough Street, Glitton, clerk, Thornton, clerk, & 3 constables, Kennedy one of them. At the Treasury at 3. Nepean's civility. Reeves must hang me; but wished I might live afterwards. Privy Council at past 8. Privy Council before whom I stood - Dundas, Grenville, Buckingham, Amherst, Bayham, Staffordshire, Chancellor & 2 or 3 othersReeves, Fawkener, Ford, &c. Dundas "It is conceived," &c., "constitutional & corresponding societies, of both of which you are an active and leading member," &c. My answer, "Refuse to be Nepean. Chuse my place of Confinement. Monday, May 19. To Tower. Tuesday, 20. Hunter asks me to write to Nepean. Kinghorn refused pen & ink. Wednesday, 21. Newspapers, &c., forbidden. Thursday, 22. Kinghorn will answer me from Gover. nour about care of my family. Friday, 23. He will answer in a few days. Iron bars put up at the Window. Felix Vaughan has order_from Privy Council to see me in prescence of Gaoler; Kinghorn being absent he saw me in prescence of Capt. Bruhl of the guards in garrison. Sat., May 24. I received from Vaughan's servant by order of Privy Council Pens, Ink, Paper, Tea, Sugar, Lozenges for my cough. Lodgings at Burford's. N.B. Government allows 13s. 4d. per week. Mon., May 26. N.B. Governour opened my child's letter (Charlotte's) & sent it open by Kinghorn. Nepean would not open. Two new Warders, Bouguette & Pearson. F. Vaughan paid me a visit of an hour. Kinghorn's watch in his hand. I gave him my Keys. Mr. Ford, the Justice, brought a letter to me from the Privy Council demanding my Keys, & he shewed me his authority (signed Dundas) for inspecting & taking my books & papers, Mr. Ford told me, he was directed not to take or to trouble himself about sedition or seditious papers but confine himself to the discovery of Treason, & especially the Treason of a Convention. Tuesday, May 27. My apartment changed from Burforde's where I had a walk on the wall of 8 yards by 1 for the air: and I was escorted by gentleman Gaoler, 2 Warders & a file of Musqueteers to Mould's house. Burford & Mould both are Warders. I understand all the other prisoners have one Warder; but I have always Two, besides the Warder of the House, and a Centinel always at the door. The two Warders always sit in the same room with me; & always lie all night in the same room with me. I am daily visited twice: i. e., morning & evening by Kinghorn, Gentleman Gaoler, once by the Officers of the Garrison, & three times by a Serjeant sometimes four times. For my Close Stool I had an order from Privy Council, the same for my snuff, the same for my shirts, stocks, stockings and handkerchiefs. [N.B. I learn (from Vaughan) that London Evs Post of Monday May 27, says "that the Prisoners in the Tower have each a Counsel & Solicitor permitted to see them." This falsehood is probably inserted in other papers.]— N.B. GIBBS. Wednesday, May 28. Vaughan visited me the 3rd time. Kinghorn sat close. He says he has the Governor's order to hear every syllable that passes. Vaughan returned me key of my linen drawers: Ford kept key of bookcases, &c., & would return them tomorrow. He took away about thirty of my private letters (amongst which one to me from Cowper) most of them dated 1792, a letter signed Regulus, &c. The closet where executorship papers, Sir Robt Bernard's, & my large travelling trunk, were, was locked up by Ford & the key taken away by Mr. Ford. Mr. Vaughan said Mr. Ford had dismissed Thornton (the Police Officer) from my house. So that Constables held possession of my house & slept there twelve days & eleven nights. N.B. Ford did not confine himself to papers of treason; for finding nothing of the kind or about Convention, he took away about thirty insignificant private letters. Mr. Ford said, he would apply to Privy Council that Warder should not sleep in the same room with me. That I might give Kinghorn something to carry for his listening, I told Vaughan in the broad terms-that the Ministry might kiss. This night Kinghorn locked the Warder & me at ten o'clock into the chamber, so that if the |
