| Description | This address, which provides an insight into Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury's travels in Italy, was delivered by Taylor Cadbury to an unnamed Quaker literary society. Taylor Cadbury remarks that 'now-a-days everyone travels and everyone has experiences of their own', noting that she was reluctant to bore the society with stories of her visits abroad.
Taylor Cadbury recalls her experiences touring Italy with her son Norman (George Norman Cadbury) and daughter Ursula (Elizabeth Ursula Cadbury). She also refers to meeting her daughter Dorothea (Elsie Dorothea Cadbury) in Florence. Her address describes the party's experiences visiting Paris and their journey to Rome where they had attended High Mass at St. Peter's in Vatican City on Easter Sunday. Taylor Cadbury also provides an account of visits to the Colloseum and and comments on a gathering she had attended with Signora Santillana and other people 'interested in politics and social questions'. The address indicates that Taylor Cadbury and her children had also attended the Opera and visited the Church of St. Pudentia in the city. In addition, Taylor Cadbury describes visits to Assisi, Florence, the Monastery at Fiesole, Vencie and Milan. |
