28 September 1750 – 4 October 1750

I heard the other half of the children.

I was with them from four to five in the morning. I spent most of the day in revising Kennet's Antiquities, and marking what was worth reading in the school.

I revised, for the use of the children, Archbishop Potter's Grecian Antiquities, a dry, dull, heavy book.

I revised Mr. Lewis's Hebrew Antiquities, something more entertaining than the other and abundantly more instructive.
