Gilpin, Joshua, 1765-1841. Journals and notebooks, 1790-1833 [microform].

Title: Journals and notebooks, 1790-1833 [microform].

The records consist of 62 pocket journals and notebooks, the bulk of which date from Gilpin's European tour of 1795-1801. Gilpin was a careful observer who recorded both conventional travel narratives and site descriptions and collected data on political and social conditions, wages, and the standard of living. His perspective was that of a Quaker with reforming impulses, exemplified by his interest in prisons and education. His extensive travels gave him a more cosmopolitan outlook than most Philadelphia Quakers, and he absorbed many tastes and attitudes of the English gentry with whom he lived.
