The journal or diary of dr. Daniel Wilson, bishop of Calcutta, entitled 'Private Memoranda, Vol. 3d from July 28th 1845 to [Dec. 27] 18[57], for the eye of my Children & of my Successor only, D. C.' This has been used for the rev. J. Bateman's Life of bishop Wilson. The two first volumes were chiefly in shorthand, and were apparently thrown away in 1886.
