Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Journal of Travels in England, Holland, and Scotland, and of Two Passages Over the Atlantic, in the Years 1805 and 1806, Vol. 1 The Trustees of Yale College, in the autumn of 1804, appropriated a sum of money, for the enlargement of their library, and philosophical and chemical apparatus; and, they determined on sending an agent to Europe, for the purpose of making the contemplated collections. I was commissioned to execute this trust, and was allowed to avail myself of such opportunities as might occur, for acquiring information, especially in chemistry, which it was my duty to teach, in the institution with which I am connected. Such were my principal objects, in Europe, and to these the greater part of my time was necessarily devoted. At the request of the brother to whom the following pages are addressed, I commenced a journal, which was continued, from the first, without a single day´s omission, till my return. Instead of filling my letters with descriptions of what I saw, I constantly made ray journal the depository of my observations and thoughts, and it was transmitted to America, in numbers, at convenient intervals.
