| Authorship Notes |
This 92-page dissertation is one of the longest in the contest. The reviewer acknowledged its merits, but found it lacking in originality, and its style very cold.
The first half is a general introduction on the idea of education and mobility. The second half first considers the conditions of useful travelling through a variety of angles, then (from chapter 12 onwards) discusses the benefits of travelling for various professions. Here and in some other dissertations, the jury considered this as off-topic, as not directly related to the question of educational travel.
The sections are:
chapter 1: 'The knowledge necessary for successful travelling' (p.41)
chapter 2: 'What is the right age for successful travelling?' (p.46)
chapter 3: 'Should one perform all his travels at once, without a break between them?' (p.49)
chapter 4: 'Should one travel alone or in company?' (p.52)
chapter 5: 'Necessary purchases for a long trip' (p.56)
chapter 6: 'Travelling by foot, in coaches etc.' (p.59)
chapter 7: 'How to use one's time while travelling' (p.62)
chapter 8: 'The sequence of observations' (p.65)
chapter 9: 'Essay on the ways to know various nations' (p.67)
chapter 10: 'Extracts and newspapers' (p.71)
chapter 11: 'Dangers to avoid while travelling' (p.74)
chapter 12: 'Travels of a minister' (p.77)
