The Antipodes and Round the World: Or Travels in Australia, New Zealand, Ceylon, China, Japan, and California (1870) is a travelogue written by Alice M. Frere. The book is a detailed account of her journey around the world, starting from England and going through the Antipodes (Australia and New Zealand), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), China, Japan, and California. The author provides a vivid and engaging description of the places she visited, the people she met, and the customs and traditions she observed. She writes about the natural beauty of the landscapes, the bustling cities, the local cuisine, and the various modes of transportation she used. Frere's account also includes her observations on the social and political conditions of the countries she visited, such as the impact of colonialism in Australia and New Zealand, the caste system in Ceylon, and the Opium Wars in China. The book is written in a lively and descriptive style, and is accompanied by illustrations and maps. It provides a valuable insight into the world as it was in the 19th century, and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
