About this book
Writing for readers of The Tribune in the summer of 1851, Horace Greeley records what he sees across Great Britain, France, Italy and Switzerland. These letters bring together the Great Exhibition in London, the appearance of towns and countryside, agricultural conditions and public life. His introduction explains his preference for direct observation and for setting down impressions while each day's details remain clear.
Greeley's attention often turns from scenery to the forces shaping a place. In the passage on Genoa, he connects the city's harbor, steep surrounding mountains and political ties with the railway being built from Turin. Trade, labor and prospects for growth occupy him alongside republican hopes and national character.
