Excerpt from A Physician's Vacation: Or, a Summer in Europe For forty-seven days together have I seen and felt the unmitigated and unmitigable horrors of a sailing ship life. It makes me tremble, even at this safe distance, to think of it. That first voyage, to Europe, was made in the good ship Nancy, of at least two hundred tons burden, towards half a century ago. What changes have been made in ships, and their management, I know not. I speak only of the old time, and of navigation as it then was.

Excerpt from A Physician's Vacation: Or, a Summer in Europe I left Boston for Liverpool, you remember, early in May, 1852, and after rest from a weary, sick voyage, I started from London for the Continent, - crossing the Channel at Dover for Calais, and passing through France, Belgium, Prussia, Mecklenburg, Hanover, Hamburg, to Stettin on the Oder, and thence by the Baltic to Cronstadt, and by the Neva to St. Petersburg. Moscow terminated my progress in Russia. My return was through Denmark, the Duchies, Prussia, Saxony, Austria, Bavaria, Baden, entering France at Strasburg, and by way of Nancy, Epernay, the land of Champagne, - Chalons, Vitry, &c., reached Paris. You will see, by following me on the map, that I passed up on one side of the Continent, returning along the other, completing the triangle by the almost straight line from Vienna to Paris. My wanderings were not yet over. I left Paris for the South of France, and having passed through this exquisite portion of that noble state, I reached Behobie, "the last crumb of France," and was at once on the bridge which crosses the Bidasoa, which unites, or separates, as you please, France and Spain.

What was the place of the artist in a new society? How would he thrive where monarchy, aristocracy, and an established church—those traditional patrons of painting, sculpture, and architecture—were repudiated so vigorously? Neil Harris examines the relationships between American cultural values and American society during the formative years of American art and explores how conceptions of the artist's social role changed during those years.
