The New Baedeker: Being Casual Notes Of An Irresponsible Traveler is a travelogue written by Harry Thurston Peck and published in 1910. The book is a collection of humorous and insightful observations made by the author during his travels through Europe, Asia, and Africa. Peck, who was a professor of classical literature at Columbia University, approaches his travels with a keen eye for history and culture, but also with a sense of irreverence and humor. He shares anecdotes about his encounters with locals, describes the landscapes and architecture of the places he visits, and offers his opinions on various topics, from the quality of hotel accommodations to the merits of different types of cuisine. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, making it an entertaining read for armchair travelers and anyone interested in the history and culture of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
