Diary of an Invalid

Henry Matthews

TO BE EDITED BEFORE CATALOGING Far from being the tale of woe one might envision from the title, [i]Diary of an Invalid[/i] is rather the travelogue of a privileged Englishman who jaunts about Europe from 1817 to 1819 in a “wild goose chase after health.” In 1820, he published in book form the writings he had made during his sojourn through Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, and France. His dry humor and snarky comments regarding just about everything he sees and everyone he meets make for an entertaining read. - Summary by Verla Viera
