Abstract
Frank Collen Davidson (1883–1937) arrived at the Primitive Methodists' Manchester College to train for the ministry in August 1902. The diary of his first term at college has been edited by his granddaughter, Rachel Larkinson, supplemented by an introduction, detailed notes, and appendices, and published by the Wesley Historical Society. It is a useful primary source, and the explanatory material is very helpful in identifying people and places, although some of the information in the appendices and notes might perhaps have been deployed to expand the introduction and to explore more themes. Frank Davidson's narrative is more reportage than reflection, but his diary provides an interesting perspective on activities, attitudes, and assumptions in the heyday of Nonconformity.
