Anonymous manuscript. Contents include "A Diary of my Travells thro Holland and Flanders from my departure out of London 3d. August. 1695" and "An account of my 2d. Journey to Holland Germany Flanders and France begun the 9th May 1699 in Company of Mr. John Fisher & Mr. Charles Blunt," as well as original verse and prose extracts. This is an interesting and often amusing day-by-day account by a Londoner (possibly a merchant or banker) with relatives in Holland, abroad to see the sights and arrange for the educations of his son and his adopted son, Richard Grosvenor. Contains numerous references to banking and mercantile matters.
