Notes and Journal of Travel in Europe, 1804-1805 Volume 1 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... NOTE The Orolier Club expresses its appreciative thanks to Mrs. Isaac N. Seligman and Mr. William A. White for their kind permission to publish these Journals from the original manuscripts belonging to them respectively. The first of the three vellum-bound blank books comprising the Journals consists of one hundred and fifteen closely written leaves of blue paper, with rough pencil drawings on the insides of the covers and on a fly-leaf and notes, such as "Ship Matilda 27th Decr Opposite Corsica" and "Acheti en Bordeaux Juillet 1804 Prix 3 liv."

It is one of a series, and became, after his death, a part of Mrs. Seligman's collection. The transcripts for the printer have been diligently compared with the original manuscripts by Miss Ruth S.
