The Diaries of Gouverneur Morris : European Travels, 1794-1798

In October 1794, Gouverneur Morris, Jefferson’s successor as American minister to France, left Paris forever. Instead of returning to America immediately, Morris spent the years 1794–98 travelling through Europe, continuing to keep the splendid diaries he began in Paris. This volume is the first modern edition of the diaries of those years, newly transcribed and annotated.
