Lithgow’s work “contains many picturesque descriptions of cities and customs as they seemed in the early seventeenth century to the eyes of a roving Englishman. He was tortured in Spain as a spy, and thereafter ceased his wanderings, which covered, he tells us, over 36,000 miles, chiefly traversed on foot.” (Outlook.)
“It is a record of the most varied and often diverting character, written with a spirit and in a style which should ensure a large sale for the reprint before us.”
