T.J. & J. Smith's pocket diary and almanack, 1880, and Lett's pocket diary and almanack, 1881, 1882, 1883 and 1889. Frequent handwritten meteorological, personal and business entries by Henry Hussey Vivian. The diaries have handwritten entries by Vivian for most days within these years. They provide sometimes detailed accounts of day to day business, conversations, trips and leisure time, often referring to his third wife Averil as 'Ave'. The entries relate to time spent at Hafod Works which was his main place of business, and also to occasions working in Parliament as an MP for Swansea District and Glamorgan. Also noted are business trips including a trip to Paris, dinners, and many entries for game shooting. There are references to Prime Minister William Gladstone and to various bills being debated in Westminster including the Coercian Bill (Ireland), Irish Disturbance Bill, Coal Employees Liability Bill. There is a detailed account of the visit of the Prince of Wales to open the Prince of Wales Dock in Swansea in October 1881 when Vivian was a member of the greeting party. Near the back of the diary for 1880 are a breakdown of cash accounts seemingly including many donations to institutions and places of worship, including Bala College and local chapels.
