[Diary and commonplace book], 1821-1833
Scope and Contents note
Manuscript commonplace book and diary, dating from approximately 1821 to 1833. The volume appears to have been written by a female relative of George Francis Savage-Armstrong's mother-in-law, Ann Arabella Dawson Wrixon, as it mentions various Dawson family names and was apparently written in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, where her family lived. The volume contains both a diary kept daily from January 1, 1821 to February of that year, in addition to many pages of passages copied from poets and writers such as Byron, Moore, Southey and Henry Kirke White.
