Smollett's sharp-witted, often acerbic account of his 1765 journey across continental Europe, told in letters. Customs, manners, politics, and social conditions in France and Italy — little patience for foreign eccentricities or perceived backwardness. Biting talk of French cuisine, Italian architecture, medical practice, local superstition. Critical and biased, yet a vivid Enlightenment-era portrait through a skeptical Englishman's ear. Satire with cultural insight; early travel literature spoken as complaint and observation.
