Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journals of Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the Royal Society: With a Preface by His Brother William White and a Portrait in Photogravure
My brother was a diligent reader and student from his school-boy days, and early committed his thoughts to writing, both in prose and verse; in the latter often developing the humorous in relation to the incidents of family life, but often also to express his filial regard for parents and home. Some of these rhymes, on varied subjects, appeared in several periodical publications, and were afterwards published in a separate volume.
As will be seen in the earlier pages of the Diary, my brother's aspirations were never fully satisfied until he found congenial employment in the service of the Royal Society, in which he was engaged for upwards of forty years, with so much satisfaction to himself and his principals.
