A tour through some parts of France, Switzerland, Savoy, Germany and Belgium, during the summer and autumn of 1814

"A Tour Through Some Parts of France, Switzerland, Savoy, Germany and Belgium" written by The Hon. Richard Boyle Bernard, is a historical travel log from the early 1800s. A British gentleman, eager to see the world after years of war kept his countrymen at home, sets out on a journey across Europe, carefully noting the differences between his home and the places he visits. The story opens in London, as he departs for France; he documents his interactions with locals on his travels, sharing his observations on the food, habits, culture and the landscape, providing a snapshot of a continent in transition.
