Bishop Burnet's Travels Through France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland is a historical travelogue written by Gilbert Burnet, a Scottish bishop and historian. The book was originally published in 1686 and has since been reprinted in various editions, including the 1750 edition. The book is a first-hand account of Burnet's travels through Europe in the late 17th century, during which he visited major cities such as Paris, Rome, and Berlin. Burnet describes the people, customs, and landmarks he encountered on his journey, providing valuable insights into the political, social, and cultural landscape of Europe during this period.Burnet's observations are not limited to the surface level, as he delves into the political and religious tensions that existed in Europe at the time. He discusses the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants, the power struggles between monarchs and their subjects, and the impact of the Reformation on European society.The book is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of Europe in the 17th century. It provides a unique perspective on the continent during a time of great change and upheaval, and offers readers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most prominent thinkers of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
