'Their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Albans arrived at Scarborough this day, and in the afternoon paid me a visit, accompanied by Lord Amelius, and the Ladies Beauclerk. The Duchess entered her name in my library subscription book. A newspaper of the day was placed in her Grace's hands, who seated herself and read aloud a paragraph - the great gaiety and spirit in a silver toned voice, to her Grace's party.'

Additional Comments:
John Cole kept diaries throughout his life - and then used the diaries to produce a manuscript 'An Account of the life of John Cole of Scarborough' (started in 1829 - 18 volumes). Much of the substance of the MS is based on his diaries (and appears for much of the MS to be copied direct from his diaries). The original diaries are apparently no longer extant.
