Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travel in the Two Last Centuries of Three Generations
This country, apart from its temporary dislocation by the war, is a matter of ease, convenience and speed nowadays, and it is inter esting to look back upon the conditions under which our grandfathers made their journeys, and the way in which their travelling experiences reflected the historical situation of the times. Crossing the Channel in the days of the sailing ship was no light matter, and the stage coach was a very different means of travel from the railway carriage and the motor-car of to-day.
