He was working with the microscope during the period in which it was becoming established as a serious scientific tool' (ODNB), and was appointed secretary of the newly founded Microscopical Society in 1841. During the period recorded in these diaries he was demonstrator of minute anatomy at the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. (The College today holds a selection of his diaries for other years.) They record social engagements, home life and hobbies, the preparation and analysis of histological specimens (including ostrich and cheetah), the writing of research papers and 'my book' (i.e. the Practical Treatise), committee work, and events including the illness and death of his brother Edwin (1808-1847), also a noted microscopist, and a miscarriage suffered by his wife Ella (née Scott, daughter of Robert Scott, East India Company merchant; his deed box sold in these rooms 24th February 2021, lot 243).

She is unmentioned in the outline of J. T. Quekett's family in ODNB. Provenance: By direct descent.
