Describes a tour from New York to Western Europe, with daily accounts from England to Italy, and the return trip. Although the Pattons were on their wedding trip, William attended meetings, renewed old acquaintances among European clergy, and even conducted some church services. For instance, on July 6, 1860, William went to a committee meeting of an organization, the Evangelical Alliance, that he was instrumental in establishing in 1846; three days later the Pattons spent an evening at the home of Rev. Dr. Davies, the secretary of the London Tract Society; and one month later William filled the pulpit of Rev. B. Noel in London. Many of the sites the Pattons visited were religious in nature. In London, they went to St. Paul's Cathedral, West Minster Abbey, and St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. In Edinburgh, they stopped at John Knox's house. In Italy, the couple spent considerable time in churches everywhere, including attending the 234th anniversary of the dedication of St. Peters in Rome on November 11, 1860. On December 7, the Pattons were at the Church of the Holy Apostles in Rome where they saw the Pope.
