The volume for 1786 also includes observations about books that Walpole is reading, generally on antiquarian topics, English history, etc.; anecdotes about his friends and prominent society figures; comments on historical events, including debates on the slave and trade and the events in France; thoughts on Samuel Johnson, Shakespeare, Joshua Reynolds, Fanny Burney, Lady Lyttleton, Lord North, Lord and Lady Salisbury, Mrs. Clive, and other prominent public figures of the period; fragments of epigrams and poems
