Well. I read this for my dissertation. Parts of it were useful, but most of it did seem to be details of the houses he was staying in. Alright, it's a diary, he can write what he likes. But seriously, four pages about each individual window and I'm starting to think Mr Symond was not the most exciting gentleman around.
Then again, it's useful, it's unique, one of few examples of soldiers who were gentry and yet not officer level in the army, useful info on battles and people and conduct and how to treat botfly in horses (feed it beer).
