Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an assemblage of journals and letters written by a young man during a voyage he took abroad with a relative in 1810 due to his declining health. The journal begins aboard the ship as it embarks from England for the South of Europe and continues on to document his travels throughout the Mediterranean. Along with a richness of descriptive detail, the author shares his learned observations of various places and reflections on life, including stops in Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, Sardinia, and Sicily before finally arriving in Malta. The author's voice is honest and engaging and throughout the text, he demonstrates a keen interest in the people and cultures he encounters. He writes with introspection and warmth, revealing his susceptibility to "the glories of creation" while grappling with serious illness. These writings provide valuable insights as a historical record of both the time period and the young author's personal journey.
