    Bound in a quarter roan binding with marbled paper boards.

    The fourth edition, revised and corrected by T. H.

    This is a charming epistolary travel narrative presented in the form of instructive letters from a young traveller to his sister, designed to introduce youthful readers to the geography, customs, and landmarks of England.
