Clarke attributes to himself the bright idea of producing an anthology of "A great portion of the most useful and interesting observations of the most intelligent travellers, on the various countries and people, of the Continent and our own islands,,,, He has thus been enable to embody in a small space, whatever there of interesting or instructive, respecting the landscape and manners of Europe; a mass of intelligence no other single work contains..." This appears to be a re-issue of the first edition of 1810, Printed for Charles Law, by J. D. Dewick, with a new title-page.
