February xiv.
This day, being Sunday, I depart from the Hague, with his Excellency, Mr. Paget, and Mr. Foley, in a treck schuyt, by the way of Leyden, for Amsterdam; where we put up at the Oude Heeren logement. And staying here the two following days, after paying a visit to Mr. Marcus, I amuse myself with viewing the magazine of the admiralty, the stadthouse, and spinhouse; the hospital of boys and girls, with that of old women; the rasphouse, and other public buildings.
