  • 1792: January 19, 1792 – The wood-men begin to fell beeches on the hanger.
  • 1791: January 19, 1791 – This morning the Baromr at Newton was only 28!
  • 1790: January 19, 1790 – A trufle-hunter came with his dogs, & tryed my tall hedges, where, as he told us, he found only a few small bulbs, because the season was over: in the autumn, he supposes, many large trufles might be met with.  He says, trufles do not flourish in deep woods, but in hedge-rows, & the skirts of coppices within the influence of the sun & air.
  • 1788: January 19, 1788 – Received from London a quarter of an hundred of Salt fish.
  • 1787: January 19, 1787 – Mice eat the crocus roots.
  • 1776: January 19, 1776 – Snow falling, grey & light, dark & still.
  • 1771: January 19, 1771 – Small snow. More snow.  By a letter from town it appears that in London in an hard frost Martin’s thermometer is just at the same pitch abroad in the area, that it is with me in the dining-room without a fire.
