"RELATION of a Journey from London to Paris and thence home through Flanders and Holland," starting "from the Spread Eagle in Gracechurch street" on 7 May, 1720, and ending "at the Tower Wharf" on 19 Aug. 1721, after a seven days' passage from Rotterdam "on board the Hampton Court sloop, Captain Annibal, Commander." Besides what is included in the title, the writer travelled from Aix-la-Chapelle to Cologne and Bonn, returning by way of Düsseldorf. From the references to religion and politics (e.g. at ff. 32 b, 103 b) it appears that he was a Protestant Whig; that he was also a commoner is evident from the way he tells (at f. 108 b) how the landlord at Cologne showed his vanity "in procuring our passport from the City, wherein, perhaps to make the Magistrates believe his house was taken up with great men, we were inscrib'd English Barons, which I can hardly think he was so ignorant himself as really to imagine." Paper; ff. 192. Quarto.
Voyages and Travels: Tour in France, Germany and the Low Countries: 1720-21.
includes:
- f. 191 b Captain Annibal, commanding the ' Hampton Court ' sloop: Reference to: 1721.
