The traveller's oracle; or, maxims for locomotion, part 2 (of 2)
John Jervis and William, 1775?-1827 Kitchiner
Before the automobile, a journey meant horses, carriages, and the cost of keeping both. This second part of the traveller's oracle offers maxims for the road and detailed estimates for running a stable and coach. Practical, opinionated, and full of period detail about getting from place to place. A handbook for the age of the horse and carriage.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
