Travel Diaries

It was HCR’s practice not to take his diary away with him when he travelled on holiday but to take another volume with him in which to record his activities. Apart from the first volume listed below, dating from his years in Germany, the Travel diaries extend from 1814 to 1866. Sometimes, on a much later journey, he used blank pages of an earlier volume to make his entries. Some of these volumes have accounts of money spent during the journey and at the places where he stayed. Occasionally, in after years, he added a few comments or other memoranda at the end of the entries.
