Introduction by Osbert Sitwell. from front flap: "Dr. Tobias Smollett was one of the most brilliant and idiosyncratic figures of the eighteenth century, and his Travels Through France and Italy has been described as the first whole-heartedly personal travel book in modern literature. It is full of prejudice, grousing, sharp observation, caustic satire; but every page is alive, and as Sir Osbert Sitwell observes in his Introduction, 'the whole book is written in beautifully clear, lazy, ordered, but subtle English, a style partly the result of nature and partly of many years of effort." #02099.
