MUSGRAVE, GEORGE M.

A Ramble Through Normandy ; Or, Scenes, Characters, and Incidents in a Sketching Excursion Through Calvados.

London: David Bogue, 1855. 1st edition. Pp.565, frontispiece + 2 further full page plates and numerous vignette illustrations throughout including to title page, small bookseller's label (J.T.Hinkins, Bookseller, Stationer, Circulating Library, Moonee Ponds) to inside front board, spotting to preliminaries, plates and closed page edges. Blue blind-stamped cloth a little rubbed, gilt title to spine. G+.** "Musgrave was an assiduous traveller, and probably knew the surface of France better than any Englishman since Arthur Young's day. He also explored the recesses of Sicily and wandered on the coasts of the Adriatic, among the Apennines and the Alps, and by the Elbe and the Danube. In 1863 he issued, under the veil of 'Viator Verax, M.A,' a pamphlet called 'Continental Excursions. Cautions for the First Tour,' which passed through four impressions in that year, and in 1866 passed into a fifth edition as 'Foreign Travel, or Cautions for the First Tour.' This brochure exposed, with some exaggeration, the impositions and indecencies of continental travelling. He published, moreover, seven books, narrating his leisurely and gossipping rambles in his favourite country of France." (DNBoo).
