First edition. Illustrated with a frontispiece, fifteen wood cut plates, and a fold out map to the rear. Collated complete. A chronicle of a leisurely stagecoach tour of Southern English Roads, emphasising the beauty and interest on our own doorstep as he describes a 'restful, health-giving holiday, spent in driving about the peace-bestowing English country'.
