Summary/Abstract: The presentation of a less known part of August Treboniu Laurian’s work has been the focus of our approach. His travel notes cover the period of 1849, 1850 and, occasionally, 1851 - 1852. Exact data (in months and days) are provided about the departures of the Romanian writer to Vienna and Pest, about his meetings with leading representatives of the political and religious life in Transylvania. As for the Romanian language that Laurian uses in these travel notes, it is poor in content, as sentences are not connected into comprehensive, rich statements. We have noticed the orientation towards Latin, as this was the main direction characterizing Laurian’s linguistic activity.
