A travelogue written in the early 19th century. It presents an American traveler’s observations as he moves through southern Italy and into Rome, blending vivid landscape writing with sketches of antiquities, local life, and pointed political asides. The focus is on coastal routes, ruined temples, museums, and city approaches, all filtered through a reflective, often comparative American eye.
