A Schoolmaster's Diary / Being Extracts from the Journal of Patrick Traherne, M.A., Sometime Assistant Master at Radchester and Marlton.

A collection of journal entries by a schoolmaster recounts daily life across successive terms, blending classroom observation with personal reflection on pedagogy, tradition, and school routine. The writer notes struggles with curricula and libraries, the intensity of games and inter-house rivalries, relationships with colleagues and pupils, and occasional domestic interludes. Entries alternate practical teaching concerns with meditative asides on reading, youth, and institutional habits. An introductory memoir, an appendix, and brief prologue and epilogue frame the diary and offer commentary on the contemporary educational climate and prospects for change.
