He describes towns in which he stopped and views of mountains in New York State.  He also sketched his impressions of what he saw.  Watson was particularly impressed with Rochester, New York. and noted its architectural innovation.  Watson was in awe at Niagara Falls and remarked on its splendor.  He also sketched it from several vantage points.  On the return trip, Watson stopped at Trenton Falls.  He included John Sherman's A Description of Trenton Falls in the volume.\nWatson was born in Batsto, New Jersey, the son of William and Lucy Fanning Watson.  In 1806 he opened a mercantile house in Philadelphia and was later listed as a bookseller and stationer.  In 1814, Watson accepted a position as cashier of the Bank of Germantown and received a notary public commission.  He remained with the bank until 1848.  He then became secretary-treasurer of the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, where he remained until 1859.  Watson was also an amateur historian and a pioneer in the use of oral histories and public opinion questionnaires.  He published, among other works, Annals of Philadelphia, Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Settlement and Advancement of New York City and State, and Historic Tales of Olden Time Concerning the Early Settlement  and Progress of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.

The   arrangements contemplated the flowing up of a large projecting rock, near the Indian   Ladder, at half past 12 o’clock, on Tuesday the 6th, the glowing up of a part of Mrs.   Dawson’s Island, on the margin of the British Falls, 1 o’clock, and the bursting of the   outer Terrapin Rock, at half past 1 o’clock, on the margin of the American Falls, near the   termination of the bridge which projects out to the verge of the precipice, from Goat   Island, towards the Canadian shore.  It was originally intended to have made a still   greater blast, by throwing off near a quarter of an acre of the surface of Table Rock,   immediately below where the large fragment fell some two years since.  there is a fissure   of sixty or seventy feet long, by more than an hundred deep, which seems now almost to   separate this immense block from the mighty rampart o’er which it fearfully impends.    And to tell the truth, from the rapid disintegration of the shale at its base, it already hangs   but insecurely, and threatens ere long, to tumble into the abyss by its own specific   gravity.  And it is feared that some rash and inexperienced young travelers may be   standing upon its summit at the time of its separation, unless it should chance to fall in   the night, as others have fallen before it.  Under these circumstances, Mr. Forsyth had   determined to shake off this crag by an artificial earthquake, on the 6th – But the colonial   government hearing of this project and Sir John Colburne fearing, perhaps, that the whole   cataract might be blown up, and the upper lakes let out to drown his beautiful capital of   York leaving the Welland Canal high and dry, issued an order at once to prevent the   explosion, and avert the dire catastrophe.      The next “treat” was to be the descent of the schooner, at 3 o’clock.  Punctually to   the hour, she was towed to the foot of Grand Island, and left to her own guidance, a few   degrees north north west of the celebrated city of Ararat, founded by a great rabbi of   ancient times, but the numerous spires and turrets, and the frowning castles of which I   could not see, on account of the dense and beautiful forests with which the suburbs of the   city are ornamented.  This was truly a beautiful spectacle.  At first the Superior looked   like a little dark spot upon the water, increasing in size as it was borne down the current.    the waters above the rapids were as smooth as a sea of glass; and the sun shone upon   them as upon the surface of a polished mirror.  How deceitful the calm!  And here I might   moralize, if I had time.  It was intended that the schooner should be swept down the main   channel near the Canadian shore.  Her velocity become quicker as she glided gracefully   onward, running like a youth in the smooth sea of pleasure, to swift and certain   destruction.  By and Bye, her masts were discernable; and then the streaks upon her sides.    And now she approached the rapids.  It was a moment of breathless interest.  Now she   plunged into the breakers, and with a loud crash away went both masts in an instant,.    Now she was lost in the surf; and now again she rose proudly upon the surge, and though   dismasted, plunged gallantly among the successive breakers, like the noble war-steed in   battle.  But her struggle was short.  She had entered the rapids at too great a distance from   the shores; and wheeling round in an eddy, broadside to the current, she struck upon a flat   rock, about midway between Goat Island and the shore, where she now lies, the hull   entire, bidding defiance to the impetuous torrent which comes dashing against and   rushing by her.  Thus closed the memorable 6th of October, 1829, on the Niagara frontier   – with a promise which nobody believed would be performed, that Mr. Samuel Patch,   Gent. should leap the cataract on the day following, at 12 o’clock precisely.     It was arranged that he should leap from a ladder, created at the foot of the   precipice below Goat Island, midway between the British and American falls.  Sam came   out from a cleft in the rock, dressed in white, and quickly ascended the ladder, amidst   cheers so loud, that they would have been heard far abroad, had it not been for the roaring   of the turbulent Niagara.  At length he reached the pinnacle, where he sat for a moment   like a sea-gull upon the corner of a cloud.  Now he stretched himself to his full length –   bowed as gracefully as he could to the gentlemen – kissed his hand to the softer sex, and   made his fearful leap.  “What a fall was that, my countrymen.”  He sank down, and   disappeared in the whirling cauldron, which closed upon, and boiled over him.  “He has   made an everlasting leap,” said an old man, wiping away a tear.  It was now time to look   about for the new messenger to the deep; and the boat plied briskly round the eddy, to   seize him by the crown as soon as he should rise to the surface.  But Sam did’nt choose to   favor them with his custom, as he continued to scull himself ashore unperceived by any   body, and the next that was seen of him he was discovered clambering up the rocks like a   soaked muskrat!  He was received with hearty cheers, and the people all scampered home   to dry their clothes and talk grandiloquently of the hero of the day.  At our house, it was   voted nem. con. that Sam Patch is but a scurvy name for the hero who was the first to   leap the cascade, and lave in the basin of the Niagara, and that henceforward he shall be   known by the more appropriate eognomen of  SAMUAL O’CATARACT, Esq.    Note in pencil:  Saml Patch soon after leapt from Genessee Falls & lost his life."}]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/e9dda7b7-0853-4b8f-82ee-85bb721594b6/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/b6e796ca-7de0-4ab9-96f5-05d4dc55753c/canvas/_10","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"106","height":1713,"width":1098,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/6049a0ae-c488-49ff-abac-79e3d162209b/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/6049a0ae-c488-49ff-abac-79e3d162209b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1713,"width":1098},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/b6e796ca-7de0-4ab9-96f5-05d4dc55753c/canvas/_10","metadata":[{"label":"Transcription","value":"(Glued in at the end of this diary is a pamphlet titled:  Description of Trenton Falls,  Oneida County, New York, By John Sherman.

AN ESSAY ON TRAVELLING.  Earl Perey of Northumberland  A vow to God did make,  His pleasure in the Scottish woods  Three summer days to take.”       Well might this same Percy be called the stout Earl of Northumberland, who thus   resolutely made up his mind to take his pleasure, whether or no, in an excursion from   home, in midsummer, for three long, tedious and successive days, in spite of Douglas and   the thermometer, while often like many travellers for pleasure, before his short allotted   period ‘had turned in petty space from day to day,’ striving to keep himself cool by   “thinking on the frozen Caucassus,” or longing for a winter’s voyage like Parry’s, and a   quiet anchorage by the side of an iceberg.   Yet it was in the woods of Cheviot where he might have been comfortable if he   could only have kept – and not by the side of the straining boiler and agonizing wheels of   a steamboat, or the crowded retirement of a fashionable watering place, that this doughty   Earl ventured to prefigure his imaginery place of carousal.  Like other travelers, he was   no doubt delighted with the scenery, and saw the Teviot or the Tweed with all their hills,   set off to advantage in romantic moonlight, and anticipated in addition, the telling of his   adventures, when he returned from his tour, a tour which has been perpetuated, if not   immortalized in the ballad of Chevy Chase.  Modern tourists resemble the hero of our   motto in this, that they take short excursions, and their object is pleasure.  Some, it is true,   travel for their health, but they should generally set out with a good supply of that article,   or they will return from a losing voyage.  Some go for information, but that is a barter   trade, in which, if the dealers have little to put away, they can expect not much in   exchange.  Most, and they are very many at this season of the year, travel for pleasure,   and a constituent part of pleasure is comfort.  the tourist, sometimes with his wife,   sometimes with his children, sometimes with one or more of those undefinable things he   calls his friend, and sometimes alone, quite a cool and shady seat, and submits himself to   the packet, the stage or the steamboat, with a mind made up to said the canal, view with   his own eyes, the growth of Rochester, and the labors of Lockport, and leave off at the   favorite points whence is seen the great waterfall of Niagara.  Thousands pass this great   route, see the same things with little variation, till Niagara, with the patience of an old   and favorite actor, astonishes each successive audience with noise, and foam, and   rainbows and sublimity."}]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/0ce1ec30-8ea9-487e-9aca-c48593cede40/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}},{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/b6e796ca-7de0-4ab9-96f5-05d4dc55753c/canvas/_40","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"20","height":2197,"width":1382,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/222643cb-6bf8-40b8-9d24-a7337e855d7b/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/222643cb-6bf8-40b8-9d24-a7337e855d7b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4,8]}]},"height":2197,"width":1382},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/b6e796ca-7de0-4ab9-96f5-05d4dc55753c/canvas/_40","metadata":[{"label":"Transcription","value":"18    One ambitions Comb Maker, gave a curious specimen of attraction on a corner house at   Pearl & Beekman Sts – painting Roman Capitals from the top to bottom of his house,   close to the line of the corner thus, viz’t  Note:  Here the following line is written horizontally on the page:   N    E   W   Y   O   R   K   C   O   M   B   S   T   O   R   E       The necessary application with which the reader spelled out this Sign would be sure to   make him remember it: as it has made me! –   I saw several cellars of Houses, having River water in them on both sides of Pearl   St below Maiden Lane.
