Sorry about the subject title I was just trying to get someone's attention.
I just wanted to ask a question, is there any way that I could find the Maybrick diary, rather than essays on it? Prefferably on the internet if someone knows, as I don't want to have to pay any money.
I have asked this question on another thread, but there's so many Maybrick threads that I have no idea where it is and I have neither the patience nor will to search for it.
Regards, Catch-22 character. |

Have you tried a library?

Hi Catch-22
You need to get a copy of Shirley Harrison's The Diary of Jack the Ripper which contains the full text of the Diary plus facsimile pages. You will not find the full text on the Internet.

Wintergreen -
After all your wonderful contributions, I am happy to be able to give you something back.
Chris and Caz are indeed right. The diary from Harrison's 1993 Smith & Gryphon copy is facsimilied in full and the text is also fully printed in context for ease of reading and mirth.
eBay and Amazon are always selling dozens of copies for next to nothing. If you are happy to shell out a couple of quid, you could get yourself a second-hand paperback of it including P&P for keeps. And you could use it for toilet paper afterwards. I've heard that Maybrick is very absorbant, but you don't get 200 sheets.
Or maybe you could just ask the smashing (sincere!) Robert Smith if he'll just loan the original to you?
   
God, I hope that last one is juggling balls.

Wintergreen,
If you can wait a week I will create Prince Albert Victor's diary for you. Have to go now; I gotta find a pot of ink and some old paper. |
