	Ulteriori indicazioni: Immagine non disponibile Viaggiatori inglesi - Viaggiatori del '700 Scheda su Wikipedia (in inglese) Non è il resoconto di un viaggio ma una raccolta di scritti di viaggiatori. Il testo, secondo The Monthly Review, for January 1789, vol. 80, è una "very entertaining selection" di viaggiatori dell'epoca, assemblati ad uso "istruttivo", soprattutto per i giovani ("..and we think that Mr. Adams hath judiciously extracted the most proper passages for a miscellany of this kind; which, to young readers, who are fond of perusing books of authentic travels, cannot fail of furnishing the most profitable and innocent amusement").
