[Grand Tour]. Grand Tour diary, 2 volumes, 1785-95, manuscript in brown ink on laid paper, [125] + [137] leaves, unfoliated, mainly 30 lines to the page, contemporary vellum, remains of ties, folio (33 x 20.2 cm) (Qty: 2)NOTESApparently unpublished Grand Tour diary written by an attentive English observer, describing several years’ travel through France, Germany, the Low Countries, Switzerland and Italy. The author includes a foreword justifying his work as a practical guide for other Grand Tourists: ‘I regard myself as performing no unuseful task, when I submit to lay aside all pretensions to literary reputation, and to undertake a work which can have no other merit but its’ [sic] utility. To point out the best roads, & best inns, to name the places & churches where the finest paintings are to be found, without entering into any critical disquisition of their respective beauties, is I confess an humble undertaking’. After an initial tour in 1785-90 he seems to have revisited the manuscript, making extensive corrections and additions derived from further travels in 1793-5. In addition to the promised details of transport, accommodation and art collections including the Uffizi, the author provides an interesting description of a criminal trial in Vicenza and reflections on the Swiss style of government: ‘The spirit of toleration is usually supposed to keep pace with the progress of philosophy … But in Switzerland, they may be considered as totally independant [sic] of each other – Toleration is here the effect of government, not of philosophy’.

Following the battle of Waterloo in June 1815 this desire was expedited: '... this desire would probably have remained long ungratified, had not an event little apparently to be expected, the spoliation of the Louvre and of the Library by the allied troops, presented no other alternative than that of its being gratified at once or for ever abandoned. It fortunately happened that at this time Mr Phillips was in Yarmouth, kindly awaiting the return of Mr and Mrs Hooker from Ireland; and few persuasions were necessary to induce a man so truly attached to an art in which he is just eminent, to cross the Channel once more, to take a look, however hasty, at the treasures of the collected avowedly unrivalled and now about to be dispersed, most probably for ever. For my own part I felt but too happy to place myself under the guidance of such a friend; and, as the shortness of our time would allow of very little being done, I prepared myself for the journey looking to no other object than that of improving my judgment in works of art by listening to his observations. Little therefore will be found in this journal, except on such subjects; and, tho' the name of Mr Phillips will not be formally appended to each remark, it must be understood, that for almost every one I am indebted to him. The resolution once formed, no time was to be lost in carrying it into execution: every day brought accounts of fresh pictures being taken away; the rapidity with which the work proceeded was equalled only by the secrecy in which the intentions of the sovereigns were involved; the delay even of an hour might give occasion to long regret. We had therefore scarcely determined on our plan, when on the 24th Septr. we seated ourselves in the Mail for London, where we stopped only for a few hours, just to allow my companion time to make some arrangements at home, during which interval I waited on Sir Josh. Banks, and saw Mr West's painting of Christ before Pilate and a collection of pictures now on sale at Pall Mall.' The journal begins from London to Brighton, then Newhaven to Dieppe, Rouen, and then the journey to Paris and Versailles, before returning to Calais.
