London Institution, Upcot (16  June  1824) Upcot is an acquaintance of WG; see WG's diary for 1824-10-01.
The London literary gazette and journal of belles lettres, arts, sciences, etc. for Saturday, March 8, 1828 reviews the Diary of Thomas Burton, Esq., member in the parliaments of Oliver and Richard Cromwell, from 1636-1650; from the original autograph MS.; with an Introduction, containing an Act of the Parliament of 1654, from the Journal of Guibon Goddard, Esq., M.P. Edited and illustrated with notes, historical and biographical, by John Towill Rutt. 4 vols. 8vo. London, 1828. Coburn. The reviewer quotes from the preface: Burton's parliamentary diary is printed from his notebooks. These ‘came, a few years since, into the possession of Mr. Upcot, of the London Institution (together with the lately published correspondence of Henry Hyde, Earl of Clarendon)…'
With the help of Upcot, WG may have consulted these diaries before their publication in 1828.
