"In this travelogue and account of American Quaker practice Scott recounts how he traveled from his home in Rhode Island to congregations of Friends throughout the United States as they then existed before making an expedition to Europe to attend meetings in England Wales and Ireland. Though evocative place names are abundant travel-detail is limited. His diary is divided between his soul-searching and specific accounts of his experiences at various meetings.
