1.Title:  Pim Nevins Journal (1802-1803)
 Dates:  1802 - 1803 
 Extent:  1 volume  
 Locations:  Alexandria | Baltimore | Bethlehem | Easton | Lancaster | New Brunswick | New York | Philadelphia | Trenton | Washington D.C. | Wilmington 
 Abstract:  The Pim Nevins journal chronicles the travels of an English Quaker in the mid-Atlantic and provides an outsider's perspective of American religion, urban space, and economic affairs during the early national period (1802-1803). The Nevins journal features descriptions of various American cities (including New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C.) and introspective accounts of Quaker meetings. For those interested in visual culture, Nevins includes a watercolor illustration of the Delaware Water Gap. The Nevins journal may interest researchers investigating natural history, American urban space, and religious practice during the Second Great Awakening, most especially that of the Society of Friends. 
    
The journal of Nevins' fellow traveler Joshua Gilpin was published in the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 46 (1922). That volume provides a complementary perspective on a portion of Nevins' journey.
