The report was provided to the Committee of the Somersetshire Society in London by John Moore—a copy of which was written into the minutes of the committee meeting held at Albion House on Monday, 15 March 1819 (Somersetshire Society, 1819, March 15).

LONDON — I thought I’d go back to the Westminster City Archives this morning but on arrival found that they are closed on Mondays. So as it was such a beautiful day I thought I’d take a flight on the London Eye as last time it was such a drizzly grey day. The ticket also gets you in free to the new London Eye 4D Experience. The wait was longer but well worth it. At first I wondered what all the fuss was about as the film looked like any other—until the seagull flew in from over my shoulder!
