| Authorship Notes | Culpeper opens with some highly critical but conventional remarks on travel as unnecessary and leading only to the vain satisfaction of the curiosity. His suggestions for useful and edifying travel include a solid prior education, knowledge of history and maps, a rejection of vice, and a substantial knowledge of Latin. He also suggests physical activities such as swimming. 'Of Travelling' is chapter VIII and occurs at pp. 66-75 (1655). | ||||||||
