I was able to find something promising on Archive.org which has free pdf
downloads.

Letters and Journals of Mrs. Calderwood of Polton: From England, Holland
and ... byMargaret Steuart Calderwood, Alexander Fergusson

Pub: 1884

A search on lace brought up a number of hits.

Printed copies are available on Amazon with this title.

PS: Bookfinder found a number of copies for sale:

https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?author=calderwood=letters=en=_used=*=us=USD=basic=sr=qr


(I put in Calderwood for the author, and "letters" for the title, for the
above search, as you can see in the URL.)

[lace] Searching for a book?

[Elena Kanagy-Loux]

Hello everyone,

I was reading an M. Jourdain article on Brussels lace (see link below) for
some research, and I found a reference to a book by a Mrs. Calderwood
titled "Mrs. Calderwood's Journey Through Holland and Belgium" from 1756.
This is certainly intriguing, but I have searched on Worldcat, Archive.org
and several other library and old book sites, and I can't find a copy of it
anywhere. Google has not been forthcoming either. Does anyone have a copy
of this book or know where I can find one?

Thank you all!
Best,
Elena
