Astor, Waldorf: Journal
Scope: Written in 1901 during his days as a student at New College, Oxford, the Journal of Waldorf Astor provides a brief, but interesting glimpse into the life of a young man who was born into immense wealth and would later devote himself to public service. This journal records Astor's social activities and personal interests, paricularly his love of horses, which comes as no surprise given that he eventually built up one of the best known studs in Great Britain. Aside from his numerous entries focused on horses, polo and drag hunting, there are several passages in which Astor poors out his frustrations and discussions problems that were presently plaguing him. Surprisingly, his financial situation seemed to cause him more grief than anything else. These entries give one more insight into Astor's ways of thinking at the time and are especially useful to researchers wishing to know more about his personal life before the launch of his political career.

Brown, James Percy: Journal
Scope: Of diplomatic, historical and literary value, the Journal of James Percy Brown documents the life of a wealthy young American living in Paris from 1834-1835 during the reign of Louis Philippe. As the nephew of noted senator James Brown, United States Ambassador to France from 1823-1829, Percy Brown entered Paris as a well-connected socialite. Undoubtedly, his family's prestige is what also enabled him to obtain a position as an attaché at the United States Legation working under Edward Livingston and Thomas P. Barton. Because of his affiliation with the embassy, and his status as a member of high society, Percy Brown was constantly in the company of foreign diplomats and aristocrats. His social activities are well chronicled in the pages of his journal as he recounts countless soirees, dinners, visits with acquaintances, and even his presentation to the Royal Court of Louis Philippe.
