Travels In England

""Travels in England"" is a travelogue written by Paul Hentzner, a German lawyer and scholar, who visited England in the late 16th century. The book is a detailed account of his travels and experiences in England, including his observations of the country's people, customs, landscapes, and architecture. Hentzner's journey took him to various parts of England, including London, Oxford, Windsor, and Bath, and he provides vivid descriptions of the places he visited, as well as the people he met along the way. The book is a valuable historical document, providing insights into life in England during the Elizabethan era, and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel, history, or culture.The famous river Thames owes part of its stream, as well as its appellation, to the Isis; rising a little above Winchelcomb, and being increased with several rivulets, unites both its waters and its name to the Thame, on the other side of Oxford; thence, after passing by London, and being of the utmost utility, from its greatness and navigation, it opens into a vast arm of the sea, from whence the tide, according to Gemma Frisius, flows and ebbs to the distance of eighty miles, twice in twenty-five hours, and, according to Polydore Vergil, above sixty miles twice in twenty-four hours.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
