About this book

"This is the first edition of an early English-language combination of travelogue (part I), military history (Part II), and guide for tourists (Part III) .... The first part of this book is a detailed account of these travels reporting on the routes he travelled, evaluating the accomodations, available, enumerating the amounts of time and money expended, and critiquing the "must-see" sights of various locales. In the second part, Moryson deals with the years 1599-1602, which he spent in Ireland. There, he acted as secretary to Lord Mountjoy, commander of the English troops fighting the uprising of Irish chieftains know as the Nine Years' War or Tyrone's Rebellion. The final ... portion of the work ... describes the customs, dress, diet, economies, and politics of Europen countries ...."--bookseller's description.
