Autograph manuscript notebook documenting Arnold's tour of France, Belgium, Holland and Switzerland from March through August of 1859. Arnold traveled as Foreign Assistant Commissioner to the Newcastle Commission on Elementary Education, and many of the entries record official meetings connected with the commission's business, as well as Arnold's own observations on Continental educational systems, particularly those of France. In addition, Arnold notes his meetings with French authors and critics, including Sainte-Beuve, Villemain, Guizot, Mérimée, and Montalembert. Later entries consist almost entirely of quotations from Arnold's reading, particularly of French authors.
