By-gone Tourist Days: Letters of Travel

A collection of travel letters recounts the author's tours through Britain, Germany, and neighboring regions, describing visits to cities, palaces, cathedrals, museums, and university towns. The pieces blend practical notes on boarding houses, hotels, and transport with vivid descriptions of architecture, art, and local ceremonies. The writer records encounters with fellow travelers and public figures and reflects on sermons, daily rhythms, and the pleasures of sightseeing. Arranged by journey and season, the letters present episodic snapshots of period tourist life and personal responses to historic sites and cultural treasures.
