[Travel diary], 1842 Oct - 1843 Jun.

Title: [Travel diary], 1842 Oct - 1843 Jun.

Holograph journal of notes concerning a tour from Greece to Egypt, Malta, the north of Italy, France, and Switzerland. Throughout, the author pays particular attention to the weather; notable landscapes and buildings; and visits to friends. The journal begins with the author's departure from Piraens towards Alexandria. He finds Cairo "grand" and visits the morgue of the sultan Ala'houn. On the way to Assouan, he marvels at a fruit with an appearance like an apple but which, on being broken open, contains no juice nor pulp, only air and seeds. In Phile, after describing a Pharoah's bed, he declares himself sick of writing about temples and other things he does not understand. He climbs a cliff in the Second Cataracts of the Nile and records the names of those who have carved their names on the cliff face. In Malta, he tastes blood oranges and mandarin oranges and gossips about the personal life of Sir George Murray. Traveling to Italy, he finds the lace veils worn by women in Genoa very becoming; laments the dirty streets of Toulon; and praises the scenery of Chartreuse. The journal ends with brief entries regarding towns in Switzerland and, dos-a-dos, supplementary notes about the tour.
