Journal of our journey. 1723.

Manuscript journal of Edward Southwell's summer 1723 travels in the Netherlands. Most of the text is a narrative diary of the places and people Southwell visited and includes mention of various churches and works of art that he was able to see. There are also some accounts and, at the end of the volume, a list simply showing the places visited on this trip by date, which provides a sort of index to the narrative section of the journal. Places described in more detail include Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp.

[40] p., bound ; 19 cm.
