About this book

Daniel Defoe's account of travelling from London to Land's End, first printed in 1724, shows England in the reign of George I. This edition of 1888 adds two letters by another writer, taken from a similar travel book of the time, which describe Bath and the road by Chester to Holyhead and date from 1722. The introduction picks out pilchards sold seventeen for a halfpenny, the rebuilt Hampton Court, Defoe's plan to settle refugees from the Palatinate in the New Forest, sheep farming on the Downs, and notes on dialect.

Daniel Defoe

Four books here, and only two of them were signed. Robinson Crusoe appeared in 1719 as the account of a mariner of York, written by himself, and readers took that literally for a while.
