Chapter XV German part of Switzerland: Zug Zürich the library, Frauenfeld, Constance, Soleure, Lake Morat direction Lausanne etc. etc.The tour commemorated by the volumes began on 2 November 1819, the day after Marianne had married Edward Francis Colston (1795-1847), descendent and heir of the wealthy Bristol merchant and benefactor, Edward Colston (1636-1721; ODNB). While Marianne describes leaving her ‘beloved parents’ behind as she ventured forth on her honeymoon tour, the book she eventually produced from the travel memorandums she wrote along the way embodied the affections that bound together her old and new family.
