Harper and Brothers; 1894; 8vo.; 328 pp.; Blue cloth covered boards with gilt title to spine; Very slightly rubbed corners and spine ends; Illustrated with many b&w plates; Frontispiece; Clean and perfect pages with deckled edges; A Near Fine copy from 1894 is rare indeed. The author provides a typically American viewpoint of English life with the apparent intention of educating Americans about England and how the English live day-to-day. He details, for example, a general political election, the life of an undergrad at Oxford, horse racing (a typical English event), tourist attractions (such as the changing of the guard), and life in the east and west ends. Whether it is a promotional treatise for travel or a warning against it is, likely, up to the individual reader. Davis (1864-1916) was an American journalist. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 204
