Manuscript journal of travel through France, Luxembourg, the Rhine Valley, the Alps, and Italy. Subjects include the conditions of the roads, conveyances and inns; traveling expenses; and baggage searches and repeated questioning by customs and border officials. Sights mentioned include the Duke's palace at Heidelberg; Gibbon's house at Lausanne; Mont Blanc; the salt works at Bex; and the Cathedral of Milan and the "Last Supper, dreadfully injured by damp and illtreatment....it is hoped the picture will remain in its present state." The author also mentions a fete given by the Princess of Wales near Lake Como and art and monuments in several Italian cities. He occasionally comments on the still-visible effects of the recent wars, noting that Chateau Thierry "bears strong marks of the Campaign of 1814" and pointing out deforestation and damaged buildings.
