Holograph diary of a journey from London to a six-months' stay in Nice, followed by travel to Geneva via Turin and the return to London. The journal, apparently by a governess to the Dawson and Stewart families of Whatton House in Leicestershire, describes scenery, particularly in the Alps; lists famous buildings, collections, and historic sites seen, with lengthy notes on their significance; and comments on travel difficulties, especially in inns. The author includes a long humorous poem on the inhabitants and disrepair of "The Comballay Inn" in Geneva.
