As I walk by myself

I talkd to myself

And thus myself said to me.1

Since the 20 November 1825, for two months that is and two years, I have kept this custom of a diary. That it has made me wiser or better I dare not say but it shews by its progress that I am capable of keeping a resolution. Perhaps I should not congratulate myself on this – perhaps it only serves to show I am more a man of method and less a man of originality and have no longer that vivacity of fancy that is inconsistant with regular labour. Still, should this be the case, I should, having lost the one, be happy to find myself still possessd of the other.

We dined today at Huntly Burn, Miss Kerr going with us, Anne remaining with our guests at Home.
