Synopsis

Voyage of 1870: A traveler’s diary of India, China, Japan, California, and South America chronicles a grand 1870 overland voyage told in the traveler’s own voice.

From the shores of Europe to distant capitals, the book follows a diverse group of passengers and their routes across continents, offering vivid scenes and personal observations along the way. This edition presents the author’s front-row account of bustling ports, imperial cities, and dramatic landscapes. It blends practical travel detail with cultural impressions, capturing moments of travel, negotiation, and discovery as the voyage unfolds.

• Colorful depictions of places from Calcutta to Yedo, Lisbon to Teneriffe, that root the journey in real-time experience.
• Personal sketches of people encountered on board and ashore, including officials, merchants, and locals.
• Comments on customs, architecture, and daily life that illuminate 19th-century travel and cross-cultural exchange.
• A chronological, diary-style narrative that moves from sea crossing to inland adventures and back to England.

Ideal for readers of travel memoirs and historical journeys, and for anyone curious about 19th-century global exploration.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
