Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

Wrote to Mr G. Bessell, Chapter Clerk, Bristol, asking for settlement of account for his brother’s schooling and books.

Attended Dr Chase’s first lecture on Butler’s Analogy at St Mary Hall at 8.30 this evening.

Wrote to C. Eve consenting to be one of his sureties.

Called on Professor Ogilvie at Christ Church, about Pastoral Theology Lectures, but he was not at home, being ill at Ross, his country Rectory.

Commenced attendance on Prof. Payne Smith’s Public Divinity Lectures, by calling on him. The first lecture will be tomorrow.

Mr. Hole came on business connected with Useful Knowledge Series.

Mr Hole returned to London. I called on Mr Pike, New Inn Hall Street to sign bond for Charles Eve. Mr Pike not in.

Called at Mr Pike’s office again. The deed was not what I expected to find it, and therefore declined for the present to sign it, but wrote for information to Mr Pinkney, Secretary of the “Protector” Society.
