| Authorship Notes | A brief and rather poorly written dissertation signed by one Desmonières. It considers arguments for and against travelling, but ultimately concludes against it. The variety of human and physical nature one encounters is pleasant, but does not justify travelling. The presence of the mentor is particularly harmful, as he pre-arranges all experiences. Ultimately, he is unable to name any benefit one could take from travelling. | ||||
