A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain. Part 3. Volume 8

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel `Robinson Crusoe`, which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain is an account of author`s travels, first published in three volumes between 1724 and 1727. Daniel Defoe brings a lifetime`s experience to the tradition of travel writing as a businessman, a soldier, an economic journalist and a spy. This book is not only a beautifully written guide to Britain just before the industrial revolution; it is his deeply imaginative response to a brave new economic world.
