The author describes the journey in detail, including his impressions of the scenery, the voyage, meals and table manners among the Belgians, and extensive comments on church architecture and Roman Catholic ceremonies he observed in the cities. and On approaching the field of Waterloo, he questions British and Prussian soldiers and Belgians for information on the battle and their parts in it, but notes that the Belgians were "unaccustomed to freedom of sentiment" and did not seem to confide their real opinions of "their old friend Napoleon." the journal ends shortly after the travelers' arrival in Brussels.
