April XXII
Mr. Cockburn, son of the Doctor, Mr. Vandeput, and I, divert ourselves, by making a short excursion to Sardam, in North Holland, remarkable for the great number of windmills that surround it, and the large quantity of timber, which always lies there ready prepared for building of ships. We return in the evening to Amsterdam; and the next day I purchase of Mynhéer Visscher a set of Geographical Charts, both Old and New; and then visit Mynhéer Uilenbroek, a curious gentleman, possessed of a very large and well chosen library, as also a cabinet of coins and other rarities.
