It also presents the familiar figure of the Englishman Abroad in very unfamiliar terms.

Among those whose impressions are recorded here are Bartholomew James Sulivan, who was later to serve as Lieutenant on the Beagle and became a close friend of Charles Darwin, and Arthur J. Evans, who later found fame as the excavator of Knossos.'Tony Lurock's rich, enlightening book' - Paul Binding, Times Literary Supplement
