Item description from seller

Hardcover with dust jacket showing some wear to head and tail of spine and corners. Brown covers with gold lettering in black box on spine. Some fading to edges of cover but otherwise in nice condition. Pages clean and unmarked. From 1784-1787 Hester Lynch Piozzi kept a journal of the Grand Tour she and her second husband were making. Their journey took them from London across the Channel, then by coach through France and over the Alps to Italy. They traveled south through Italy as far as Naples, then north to revisit many of the cities they had previously see, finally returning by way of Germany to Calais and London. This version of her journal which she published in 1789 , a lively, perceptive personal account, an excellent example of 18th century travel literature, and an important source for the cultural history of the period. The book is both an objective account and a private diary, and she is equally interested in describing the sights and people and in recording all the personal reactions, encounters, and experiences which make each journey and each traveler unique.
