1857 FIRST EUROPEAN TOUR--LIVERPOOL--THE HAWTHORNES--LONDON--GREENWICH OBSERVATORY--ADMIRAL SMYTH--DR.

LEE Shortly after her return from the South, Miss Mitchell started again for a tour in Europe with the same young girl.
Miss Mitchell carried letters from eminent scientific people in this country to such persons as it would be desirable for her to know in Europe; especially to astronomers and mathematicians.
When Miss Mitchell went to Europe she took her Almanac work with her, and what time she was not sight-seeing she was continuing that work.

Her wisdom in this respect was very soon apparent.

She had not been in England many weeks when a great financial crisis took place in the United States, and the father of her young charge succumbed to the general failure.

The young lady was called home, but after considering the matter seriously Miss Mitchell decided to remain herself, putting the young lady into careful hands for the return passage from Liverpool.
Miss Mitchell enjoyed the society of the scientific people whom she met in England to her heart's content.
