Rosebery was a good traveller, and although he has few profound observations, it's interesting to note the range his interests. Judged from the amount of space he dedicated in his journal to the topics, at this point in his life Rosebery was most interested in horse racing, socializing and drinking with new friends, attending legislative sessions in Ottawa and Washington DC, and visiting prisons and mental hospitals.
At the end of his journey, Rosebery affirms his touching enthusiasm for the "American project" in words (from early 1874) that seem to speak to the condition of the USA in 2017.

But after all let us reduce the whole subject of contention into a single issue and abide by it. Lay before the world the exact advantages offered by every state to its inhabitants, and where would they go?
