Old Portland
The journal of Elizabeth (Pearce) White (1782-1872) of the Isle of Portland, Dorsetshire. She married William White in 1809, and the journal ceased at that time. The story was then " ... taken up by her granddaughter, Clara Jane White (or Mrs. King Warry, as she later became). She completes for us the picture of Portland in the nine- teenth century, by bringing the story down to her own childhood--more than half a century later than the eighteenth century childhood shown at the beginning of the book." (p. 54). These autobiographical journals thus describe much of the history and the social life of the Isle of Portland between 1793 and about 1930.
