Abstract: A collection of newspaper clippings (mostly dated 1799-1809), advertisements, and three engraved portraits (one hand-colored) documenting Dineley's efforts to find a wife. Most of the clippings have been mounted with other clippings about the Stuarts and English theatre, circa 1828-1829, presumably part of a scrapbook (unknown location), pages numbered non-consecutively. Includes some loose advertisements similarly documenting Dineley's search for a wife: "A Valentine's gift for 1800 ...", "To all qualified Ladies marriageable ...", and several entitled "For a wife". Several of the advertisements and two of the portraits were published by C. Knight; one advertisement printed by Pote and Williams of Eton
