The Uncommercial Traveller by Charles Dickens is a collection of essays and sketches that were originally published in various periodicals between 1859 and 1861. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part consisting of essays that describe the author's travels throughout England, Scotland, and France. In these essays, Dickens reflects on the people he meets, the places he visits, and the social and economic conditions of the time.The second part of the book contains sketches that were originally published in the magazine All the Year Round. These sketches cover a wide range of topics, including the lives of London street vendors, the experience of being a passenger on a steamboat, and the joys and challenges of Christmas.Throughout the book, Dickens displays his characteristic wit and humor, as well as his keen observations of human behavior. He also addresses many of the social issues of the day, including poverty, crime, and the plight of the working class.Overall, The Uncommercial Traveller is a fascinating and entertaining look at life in Victorian England, as seen through the eyes of one of its most celebrated authors.No landlord is my friend and brother, no chambermaid loves me, no waiter worships me, no boots admires and envies me. No round of beef or tongue or ham is expressly cooked for me, no pigeon-pie is especially made for me, no hotel-advertisement is personally addressed to me, no hotel-room tapestried with great-coats and railway wrappers is set apart for me, no house of public entertainment in the United Kingdom greatly cares for my opinion of its brandy or sherry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
