This manuscript "Diary of a Month's Tour in Belgium Sep: 1840" may have been written by Henry Green, whose engraved armorial bookplate present at the front of the volume appears to be 19th-century, as does the binding. The anonymous writer, who mentions his home being within an hour's travel from London Bridge in London, England, recounts a 28-day journey (29 August - 25 September, 1840) made from London to Belgium and back with his companion, Robert S. Hays.
