About This Item
Newcastle: Newcastle City Libraries, 1998. Soft cover. Very Good. The life of a lively young man in Newcastle in the early 19th century is vividly described in these extracts from Wright's diary. As an assistant in an "extensive colliery practice" he had to copy with dreadful accidents and diseases, without the anaesthetics, antiseptics and antibiotics that we take for granted but he enjoyed his time off too, socialising in a busy town, with its theatres, races, dances and parties. Edited by Alastair Johnson with a foreword by Professor Roy Porter. 96pp, illus throughout in b&w.

About Bennor Books
I specialise in used books covering all aspects of Northumberland, North East England and the Scottish Borders and the associated fields of railways and mining. I also hold books on prehistoric art and titles on field sports in the 19th and 20th centuries. As I sell on commission, I often have a wide range of uncommon titles on other subjects.
With regret, I can no longer accept orders from France or Germany.
