April 26th

April 26th My before breakfast employments were exactly the same as they were yesterday morning. Immediately after breakfast I got a french reading lesson and then said it to Uncle Otway. I read my usual number of pages of history. I have been reading the reign of Edward the second. This prince ascended the throne in 1307 in the 23 year of his age. The beginning of his reign displayed nothing but weakness of mind but afterwards he became very brave and fond of war.

I heard Nanny her spelling lesson and worked until dinner and then got a geography lesson & heard Charles a lesson.
