The list of books published under this heading in recent years is indeed so formidable that the world may well be weary of it. From the library catalogue point of view, the subject might well seem to have been exhausted, every part of the continent having been ransacked and described, all its words and works recorded. Yet, how few there be amongst all these works as some of us know to our cost that properly and worthily inculcate the profitable exercise of travel, or that appeal to and justify the wandering instinct of rational man Say what you will, the great majority of them are so dreadfully infected with stodgy commercialism, so monumentally useful, that their general effect upon the mind unless it be the mind of a bagman can only be compared to a surfeit of suet pudding. Here and there only, rari nantes, amidst all these dreary volumes, will you find the sort of company for which the Lord of Montaigne looked alas, how oft in vain in all his journeyings that rare chance and seld-seene fortune, but of exceeding solace and inestimable worth to wit, an honest man, of singular experience, of a sound judgment and of manners conformable to yours, which company a man must seek with discretion and with great heed obtaine, before he wander from home ay, even in B 2 MEN, MANNERS AND MORALS the spirit...
