Diary of Unitarian Minister Rev. Nathaniel L. Frothingham, kept from August 1826-July 1827 while touring Europe. Enclosed within the diary are letters that are probably written by the Marquis de Lafayette and a letter to Frothingham's father-in-law, Peter Chardon Brooks. The diary also contains notes, pictures and drawings, his passport, and detailed letters to his wife Ann (referred to as Anne in the letters) written from Paris, Geneva, Milan, Venice, Rome, London, Edinburgh, and other locations. The diary reflects Frothingham's experiences with nature, art and architecture; his thoughts on culture and religion; and his relationship with his wife. In addition to the diary there are letters written to Rev. Paul Revere Frothingham, grandson of Nathaniel Frothingham, in 1907 regarding possible publication of the diary.
