Travel diary through Holland, Belgium, and Germany, 1841 Aug 15- Dec 26.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702183420

Holograph journal of a four-month tour by the author and his companions through Holland, Belgium, and Germany. Traveling by boat, train, and carriage, they visit churches, cathedrals, museums, and art galleries. In Belgium, the author admires paintings by Rubens and Durer and describes a local Catholic funeral mass and procession of the host. In Wiesbaden, he reflects on a concert by Franz Liszt which he attended. A few days earlier in Germany, he notes that it is the "first time we have been in an English church since our marriage"; and in Frankfurt, he describes the warning he and his companion Harriot receive about the unscrupulous dealings of the chief bookseller, "Hugel." Throughout the diary, the author describes the conditions of the various hotels in which he stayed; purchases he and his companions made, including lithographs of their favorite pictures at the Rue de Tanneurs; the manners and conversation of other travelers and new acquaintances; and social gatherings which include the names of attending European nobility.
