Excerpt from Dyott's Diary, 1781-1845, Vol. 1 of 2: A Selection From the Journal of William Dyott, Sometime General in the British Army and Aide-De-Camp to His Majesty King George III

Many manuscripts of different kinds and of considerable historical value have been preserved by the Dyott family of Freeford Hall, Staffordshire, for several centuries. This Diary, now made known for the first time, is merely a selection from these papers which in the next few years may possibly be published. With Mr. R. A. Dyott's consent, I have selected the most interesting portions of the Diary, which in its original form consisted of about 500,000 words. Much that was of importance to General Dyott has lost its point in these later years, and many purely family matters have therefore been excluded. I have kept, however, those remarks which seemed to me to illustrate most fitly the characters of the writer and of his children.

The spelling of place-names had to be revised, and with regard to mere slips of the pen I have also made some corrections. But I have thought it better to preserve such archaisms of the period as 'musick,' 'aristocratick,' etc. Words enclosed in marks of parenthesis ( ) stand so in the original text, but occasionally I have been obliged to supplement the meaning, and any additions of mine will be found in square brackets [ ]. I was particularly anxious not to overload the book with footnotes, and so have selected only those individuals concerning whom I considered some information would be interesting.
