Note
The 12 volumes here present do not form a complete or continuous series. They are numbered in pencil on p. 1 of each: 12, 13, 15-23, 26. In vol. 12 Collier has written "[I have destroyed the eleven preceding parts of this sort of Diary.] I took something from them for my 'Old Man's Diary.'" No similar notes explain the gaps. Vol. 26 was certainly the last ever written. The dates of the volumes are as follows (vol. numbers bracketed): M.a.29 (12) 1872-73; M.a.30 (13) 1873-74; M.a.31 (15) 1876-77; M.a.32 (16) 1877-78; M.a.33 (17) 1878; M.a.34 (18) 1878-79; M.a.35 (19) 1879; M.a.36 (20) 1879-80; M.a.37 (21) 1880-81; M.a.38 (22) 1881; M.a. 39 (23) 1881; M.a.40 (26) 1881-82.
