Miss Elizabeth Dowse (fl 1824-1828) set off in Sep 1826 to spend a winter at Nice with a friend sent there for the 'recovery of her health'. She appears to have travelled with a Mrs Athersole and the latter's niece, Miss Nevill. While presumably based in the South of France for two years, Miss Dowse travelled at various times in Switzerland and Italy. On 21 Sep 1828, the steam packet George IV brought her 'once more to old England'. The following day she states that she was 'at home at my father's after an absence of four years'. She must have been living in France 1824-1828.

The journal was bought at either a car boot or jumble sale and handed to one of the Friends of Lancashire Record Office, she in turn deposited it with The Fawcett Library.

The 19th century handwriting in the notebook is hard for a non-expert to read. The text may have been transcribed, as odd words have been written in, in pencil.
