Young was Governor of the island from 1809 until his death in 1815 and the almanac gives an insight into the official duties of a governor at that time. In this extract he notes some of the events that he attended in the month of January: ?Thursday January 18th. Queen's Birthday, -Dinner & Ball at Government House. Ladies 12. Gentlemen 24. Jan 20th as Governor Received the Militia, on Cinnamon Pasture? Young also used a printed diary containing ecclesiastical official dates such as Epiphany, to which he has added his own engagements and the dates of the expected postal deliveries. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | MacDonald, David | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Young, William | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
