When I think of the host of writers who have travelled over the ground retrodden in these pages, and of the celebrity of many among them, I feel a strong sense of presumption in adding myself to their number. My apology is found in the endless variety of the human mind, and the fact that few people are interested in exactly the same things, or impressed by them in the same way. For this reason, it will be found that any traveller who records his own personal impressions will put things, more or less, in a fresh light. Cologne Cathedral and Pompeii, it is true, cannot vary, but the effect they produce on those who see them will vary precisely as the natures of the travellers vary.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.
There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.
Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the narrative of the author and her travel companion's journey through Italy in the 1890s, containing detailed accounts of their experiences and myriad observations of Italian society and culture. Written within the greater context of the 19th century's wave of European wanderlust, the author presents a largely positive and enthusiastic account of her travels, describing in detail the pair's adventures and experiences, and sharing historical insights and anecdotes along the way. Though the book touches on recognizable tourist destinations such as the Milan Cathedral and the ruins of Pompeii, the author also delves deep into the culture and daily life of the regions she visits. These accounts not only provide an engaging and educational travelogue but also present a wealth of historical and cultural information, offering readers a fascinating insight into Italian life in the latter stages of the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331496502_0
