From London to Land's End
and Two Letters from the "Journey through England by a Gentleman"
Transcribed from the 1888 Cassell & Company edition by David Price
"From London to Land's End" by Daniel Defoe is a travel narrative written in the early 18th century. The book details Defoe's firsthand observations as he journeys through England, offering insights into the country’s social and geographical landscapes. The text serves as both a record of his travels and a reflective commentary on English life, drawing comparisons between the past and the present. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to Defoe's purpose in documenting his experiences and observations throughout England. He sets out to describe his journey starting from London, making specific notes about notable locations such as Hampton Court and Windsor. Defoe's prose is rich with details about the landscapes, historical landmarks, and the habits of the people he encounters, painting a vivid picture of 18th-century England. His keen analytical eye reveals both the beauty of the countryside and the complexities of its social fabric, inviting readers to appreciate the transformations that the nation has undergone since his time.
