註釋Begins January 1, 1801, with frequent entries to June 8, 1801; scattered entries for 1802; one only for 1803 (2 February). Many entries are long and filled with details about Jane's activities: reading, writing, theater attendance, and innumerable visits, but especially about her own intimate feelings, the recording of which is her chief avowed object. Both Jane and her sister Maria wrote for the stage and were in close touch with it, the diary supplying much information on the subject. Charles Kemble and Maria Theresa De Camp (later his wife) are among Jane's closest friends and are much discussed. The first appearance of Henry Caulfield (another close friend) as Hamlet at Drury Lane (a marked success) is described in detail (leaves 37, 61). Other persons who figure prominently are: Jane's brother Robert, her sister Anna Maria, Mary Robinson ("Perdita"), the brothers Horatio and James Smith, a Sir Sidney Smith, and John Stockdale (e.g. leaf 24v).
