1730: Andrew resumes his studies, enroles at the law faculty i nLeyden where he spends two semesters (this means he's in the Netherlands when Peter Keith hightails it out of Prussia); (studying in the Netherlands for two terms was also what Boswell did before embarking on his Grand Tour, when I read this bit, I thought, that sounds familiar)
Meant to point out that Katte studied law in the Netherlands (Utrecht), though apparently he's not in their matriculation records (shades of Peter Keith at Trinity), and I can't tell exactly how long, but if it was in 1722 and 1722-1723 is also the time of his Grand Tour, then apparently not for long, maybe only one semester.
