| Authorship Notes | Tucker's primary interest in travel is as a practical method to examine the effects of 'Systems, of Government, Religion, or Commerce'. Advises that the traveller should know his own country before travelling, both through a liberal arts education and through a list of books which he specifically recommends. He then propounds a scheme for observation under various heads of causes and effects: natural, artificial, political and religious. | ||||||
