Please see photos. “In this travelogue and account of American Quaker practice, Scott recounts how he traveled from his home in Rhode Island to congregations of Friends throughout the United States as they then existed, before making an expedition to Europe to attend meetings in England, Wales, and Ireland. Though evocative place names are abundant, travel-detail is limited. His diary is divided between his soul-searching and specific accounts of his experiences at various meetings. Although Scott often records feeling compelled to remain silent in these meetings, he was a notable speaker, and his writings, although they became controversial after his death, were highly influential" Owned by Benjamin Horner (c.1737-1823) a New York Quaker and son of Isaac Horner and Eleanor Bowne.
