Abstract
IN the eighteenth century, it was a diversion for those who could afford it to travel in a post-chaise through foreign parts, and thereafter to publish a gossiping guide, more or less observant and outspoken. Some of these works have become classics, and the practice is happily not extinct. But now one must go farther, one may travel faster, and by appointment one can see more various people ; one also writes more gaudily than Laurence Sterne.
