The book shares the author's observations and experiences during his travels in Europe, particularly focusing on his impressions of various cities and cultures, as well as his reflections on the people he encounters. Willis offers vivid descriptions and insights that aim to entertain and engage readers interested in travel and personal narrative. The beginning of "Pencillings by the Way" introduces the reader to the author's journey at sea, as he embarks from America to France aboard a merchant brig. The vivid depictions of the ocean's beauty and turbulence set the tone for the work as a whole, highlighting not only the physical grandeur of the sea but also the emotional complexity of leaving home for adventure. Willis reflects on the contrast between his excitement for the journey and the sadness of departing from friends and familiar places. The narrative transitions smoothly from the initial experiences at sea to the anticipation of arriving in France, establishing a sense of wonder that will characterize his subsequent observations throughout Europe.
