Autograph manuscript diary by Andrew Lang of a European journey he took in the summer of 1838 with four friends from Scotland. The group left Selkirk for London on July 26, and after three days of preparation began a continental tour stopping at Antwerp, Brussels, Liège, Cologne, Coblentz, Darmstadt, Heidelberg, Baden, Schaffhausen, Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken, Fribourg, Lausanne, Geneva, Dijon, and Paris, and smaller villages along the route. The men returned to London on September 12, and Lang spent ten days sight-seeing in the city and its environs; he arrived back in Selkirk on September 23. Lang wrote his diary while the trip was in process, and illustrated it by inserting engravings of local landscapes and city views along with trade cards from the hotels frequented. He also included a title page, preface, list of plates, and manuscript maps and itineraries of both the group's intended and accomplished routes. At the end of the diary Lang added an appendix containing his specific observations on eleven numbered topics: horses, sheep, cattle, swine, villas, travellers on horseback, houses, crosses and chapels, women, threshing corn, and language and money, followed by a note on the value of consulting handbooks before traveling. Bound in at the back of the volume is an engraved Lettre d'indication pour les billets de change circulaires listing the European exchange agents of Hammersleys & Co., and Lang's passport issued by the Prussian consul in London, afterward countersigned by the French and Belgian consuls in the city.
