- 1792: November 22, 1792 – Timothy comes forth.
- 1788: November 22, 1788 – The smoke of the new lighted lime-kilns this evening crept along the ground in long trails: a token of a dry, heavy atmosphere.
- 1787: November 22, 1787 – Housed all the billet-wood in dry, good order. Covered the lettuce under the fruit-wall with straw.
- 1786: November 22, 1786 – I sent a woman up the hill with a peck of beech-mast which she tells me she has scattered all round the down amidst the bushes & brakes, where there were no beeches before. I also ordered Thomas to sow beech-mast in the hedges all round Baker’s-hill.
- 1780: November 22, 1780 – Some animal eats off the pinks.
- 1777: November 22, 1777 – Beeches love to grow in crouded situations, & will insinuate themselves thro’ the thickest covert, so as to surmount it all. Are therefore proper to mend thin places in tall hedges. Strong N. aurora, extending to the W. and S.W. some streaks of fiery red.
- 1776: November 22, 1776 – The ground was covered with snow at Buxton in Derbyshire.
- 1774: November 22, 1774 – London. When I came to town I found that herrings were out of season, but sprats, which Ray says are undoubtedly young herrings, abounded in such quantities, that in these hard times they were a great help to the poor. Cods & haddocks in plenty: smelts beginning to come in. The public papers here abounded with accounts of most severe & early frosts, not only in the more Northern parts of Europe, but on the Rhine, & in Holland. The news of severe weather usually reaches us some days before the cold arrives; which most times follows soon when we hear of rigorous cold on the Continent.
- 1773: November 22, 1773 – Beautiful rimes all day on the hanger.
- 1768: November 22, 1768 – The barometer unusually low considering there is little wind. The astonishing fall of the glass was remarked all the kingdom over: we had no wind, & not much rain, ; only vast swagging rock-like clouds appear’d at a distance.
