Item is a bound manuscript journal with Hanye's diary from his travels with the Second British Embassy through China in late 1816. The journal begins when Hayne is with the embassy in Nanjing and ends with the embassy's arrival at the outskirts of Guangzhou. Many topics overlap with Volume 2. Hayne describes diplomatic matters, holidays and celebrations, the terrain and agricultural practices he witnesses, the physical appearances of different Chinese people (including women, soldiers, and other groups), and visiting different towns and cities along the Yangtze and other rivers between Peking (Beijing) and Canton (Guangzhou).
Hayne notes that some of his later entries (Dec. 31 1816-Jan. 1 1817) in this volume were lifted from Henry Ellis's journal. Ellis served as Third Member of the Embassy.
