Richard Cobbold, English novelist and Church of England clergyman. Gilt red morocco notebook containing holograph account of Richard Cobbold's month's-long tour of France and Belgium, with his companion, Mr. Danneley, in the summer of 1817. Includes accounts of the Louvre, Versailles, Notre Dame, the Palais Royal, Tuilleries, and the Paris opera, as well as the Parisian gambling houses and their "wretched" inhabitants. Leaving Paris, the two travel to Brussles and then to Waterloo: "to look at it you would never suppose it had been the place of so much bloodshed." With three watercolors ("a view of Calais, from the road"; crucifix, tree and field; horse-drawn wagon) and several pencil sketches. less
