Many of the pages are devoted to describing the legal details of property transfers.  His reading habits changed, reflecting his growing curiosity in architecture and travel.  By 1854, Jaques was losing interest in his nursery, but he remained active in the profession.  In January 1856, he started preparing for a trip to Europe.  Upon returning home, he recorded his impressions, comparing Europe to the United States.  In general, he found Americans to be lagging behind Europeans./nJaques was a horticulturist.  Born in Brooklyn, Connecticut, in 1816, he attended Leicester Academy and Drury's school in Pawtuxet, Rhode Island.  He graduated from Brown University in 1836.  For a few years after college, he taught at schools in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, and Nottaway County, Virginia, and attempted to pursue a law career.  Jaques eventually settled in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he continued teaching and also established a nursery specializing in fruit and ornamental trees.  He soon became active in the local horticultural society, preparing its Transactions in 1849 and serving as an officer.  As his career continued, Jaques became a frequent contributor to horticultural journals.  Active in the community, Jacques belonged to a temperance society and served on school committees.  In 1871, he was elected treasurer of the Worcester City Hospital.  Upon his death in 1872, his estate was left to the hospital.  Jaques was a Unitarian./nThe diary includes passages written in Greek, French, and Latin. A number of the passages in Greek, however, are really just English words written in the Greek alphabet.
