Book Overview

""Written To Order: Being Some Account Of The Journeyings Of An Irresponsible Egotist, And Of How He Enjoyed Himself Thereon"" is a travelogue written by George Nugent-Bankes and published in 1885. The book chronicles the author's travels throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, and is told from a first-person perspective. Nugent-Bankes is portrayed as a self-absorbed and carefree traveler, who is more interested in having a good time than in learning about the cultures and people he encounters. Despite this, the book provides an interesting and humorous glimpse into the social norms and customs of the time, as well as the experiences of a wealthy Victorian-era traveler. The book is a light-hearted read, and is recommended for anyone interested in travel writing or Victorian-era literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
