Journal, 1860 November-1873 May
Scope and Contents
Consists of Dan Beach Bradley's journal, dated from 1832 through 1873. In addition to the twenty-five bound volumes, two sets of diary entries exist which fill gaps found in the bound volumes. The first of these loose diary entries (Aug-Sept 1833) record Emilie's spiritual self-questioning. The second, which has been microfilmed and digitized (see DVDs) begins in May 1834, as Bradley prepares to marry Emilie Royce, and ends on the day before the pair sailed for Siam (July 2, 1834). In addition, this series includes a "Journal of a Visit at Amherst, Maulmein & Pinang and a Residence at Singapore" (1835), addressed to Bradley's father, which was written by Bradley in Singapore to replace earlier letters which had been lost to pirates during the voyage. This journal has been microfilmed.
