The Ignoramuses: A Travel Story is a book written by Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield and first published in 1887. The book is a travelogue that recounts the author's experiences during a trip to Europe with her husband and a group of fellow Americans. The title of the book refers to the group's self-deprecating nickname, which they gave themselves due to their perceived lack of knowledge about European culture and customs.Throughout the book, Mrs. Crowninshield describes the various cities and landmarks that the group visits, including Paris, Venice, and Rome. She also provides detailed accounts of their interactions with locals and fellow travelers, as well as their attempts to navigate unfamiliar customs and languages.Despite their initial feelings of ignorance and inadequacy, the group ultimately gains a deeper appreciation for European culture and history. The book is both a humorous and insightful look at the experiences of American tourists abroad in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
