About This Item
Bowdler was called to the bar in 1805 but ill-health required him to spend time on the continent, where he composed these letters, poetry and translations. He died in 1815, His father caused this edition to be published as a memoir. His journal entries as her epublished provide a valuable insight to the Continent in the first few years of the 19th century, but it is essentially an 1810 Grand Tour.
