  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Diary
In its primitive form, the diary must always have existed; as soon as writing was invented, men and women must have wished to note down, in some almanac or journal, memoranda respecting their business, their engagements or their adventures.
In spite of all its imperfections there is a great charm about the diary of Evelyn, and it would hold a still higher position in the history of literature than it does if it were not overshadowed by what is unquestionably the most illustrious of the diaries of the world, that of Samuel Pepys (1633-1703).
In the age which succeeded that of Pepys, a diary of extraordinary emotional interest was kept by Swift from 1710 to 1713, and was sent to Ireland in the form of a "Journal to Stella"; it is a surprising amalgam of ambition, affection, wit and freakishness.

The Diary of a Nobody is the fictitious record of fifteen months in the life of Charles Pooter, his family, friends and small circle of acquaintances.
It first appeared, serialised in Punch magazine and might be regarded as the first "blog"; being a record of the simplicities and humiliations in the life of this mundane, but upright, city clerk, who had an incontestable faith that a record of his daily life was worth preserving for posterity.

Diary of Nobody is a much loved late Victorian comic novel, the diary of fictitious City of London bank clerk, Charles Pooter.
Pooter accepts that he is a "nobody" but believes that he has as much right as a "somebody" to have his diary presented to the public.
The Pooters are sufficiently wealthy to be able to buy the occasional indulgence such as a new cottage piano - and they have a problem son, Lupin who, compared to his utterly respectable - and respectful- father, mixes with a "fast" crowd, is idle and a chancer.

The diary is that of a man who acknowledges that he is not a `Somebody` - Charles Pooter of `The Laurels`, Brickfield Terrace, Holloway, a clerk in the City of London - and it chronicles in hilarious detail the everyday life of the lower middle class during the Great Victorian age.
The roar of laughter which greeted the first serialised publication of `The Diary of a Nobody` in the magazine `Punch` in the late 1880s has continued and scarcely diminished ever since.
Its evocation of the typical London middle-class suburb of the time is not only irresistibly funny, but is also a document of profound interest to all those with a fascination about the way we were.

I first encountered the 17 million-word diary of this transplanted resident of Boston in 1985, the year Harvard University Press published a two-volume set entitled The Inman Diary: A Public and Private Confession.
Of course, the diary's eventual publication 22 years after his death was nothing but a distant hope throughout his long, unquiet life.
Her long-suffering role of nursemaid, cajoler, co-conspirator and loyal friend to her ill-chosen man brings to the diary a much-needed domestic reality without which it would lose much of its appeal.

His claim is probably copied from Kate Flint, who claims in her edition that 'over twenty neologisms' are cited from it in the Oxford Dictionary.
The current (online) edition of the OED quotes from the Diary twelve times to illustrate the meaning of words and of these citations, five illustrate the very first, or joint-first, recorded usage of a word.
As no earlier usage than the Grossmiths' has been reported, it is possible they invented the use of the word in what is clearly intended to be its modern sense.
