- Abstract:
- Holograph diary tracing 6 months of Cornwall's extended foreign tour in the company of Henry Venn Elliott, his tutor at Trinity College, Cambridge. This volume covers his journey from Pisa through various Italian cities and his subsequent travels to Bari, Corfu and Albania. Cornwall's entries for Pisa, Florence, Rome and Naples are largely detailed description of the artworks, buildings, antiquities and museums he visited daily. He devotes over 30 pages to the Pitti Palace, for example, and lists the books and manuscripts he was able to view at the Riccardi Palace. In Rome, Cornwall also toured the Vatican Library, taking particular note of Henry VIII's letters to Anne Boleyn; attended Roman Catholic services, the profession of a nun, and Carnival; and took a series of guided walks through the city. His visit to Naples included extended tours of Pompei and Herculaneum and of the Naples museum of antiquities, where he observed archaeologists' efforts to unroll and preserve scrolls found at Herculaneum and In Corfu, Cornwall and Elliott met with Sir Thomas Maitland, British governor of the Ionian Islands, and obtained letters of introduction to Ali Pasha and advice on travel in Albania. Cornwall describes the great palace of Ali Pasha at Janina; records two lengthy interviews with Ali Pasha and details his dress and manner; comments on introductions to young men "who belonged to Ali's harem of boys;" and notes his disappointment at failing to see the seraglio. The volume ends as Cornwall's party sets out from Arta
