Description

Three-quarter bound in a tan leather with five raised bands, red leather title panel and black leather author panel to the spine. Marbled boards.

Top page edge gilt. Frontispiece photographic portrait of the author present. All pages and portraits remain in a good clean condition throughout.
SYNOPSIS
Elihu Burritt (1810-1879) was an American diplomat, philanthropist and social activist.
Burritt walked from London to the northern tip of Scotland, taking extensive notes on agriculture, scenery, and the people he met along the way. The book was written to provide American readers with a detailed, intimate look at the British countryside during the 19th century. The book follows his journey from London, moving northwards through England and Scotland, documenting the changes in industry and farming.
A following volume, 'A Walk from London to Land's End and Back', was also published around the same time.
