Description/Abstract
An unpublished and unstudied travel journal, written to store information for social use, gives insight into the spectacula enjoyed by a Scots gentleman abroad, but also proves an unconscious witness to Prince Maurits of the Netherlands’ preparations for war, and to high-level, if possibly opportunistic, British intelligence gathering.
