Purpose

Soane's travel expenses, 1778-80

Notes

Like any traveller, Soane kept a note of his expenses including loans to and from his friends. The sketch/notebooks have references to the cost of coaches, boats, horses, inns, meals (breakfasts, dinners, suppers, coffee, wine), laundry, tips or 'buona manche' (to waiters, porters, drivers, customs officers, boatmen), clothes (gloves, stockings, hats, shoes, suits, rings, waistcoats, umbrella, handkerchiefs, breeches), and articles such as books (including a dictionary), paper, prints, two seals, two vases of amber, an intaglio, oil cloth and drawings.
