Letters from several parts of Europe and the East
Letters from several parts of Europe and the East (full title Letters from several parts of Europe and the East. Written in the Years 1750, ... in there are contained the Writer' s Observation on the Productions of Nature, the Monuments of Art, and the Manners of the Inhabitants) is a 1750 epistolary reportage (a collection of his letters) written by the British doctor Maihows; the Letters remained anonymous for over a century until 1881, when the work was published in French.The travel takes place for the most part in Italy. Unlike most travelers who did the Grand Tour, Maihows' intent was not to expand his own and others' artistic knowledge, but to enrich the scientific-technological ones.Letters from several parts of Europe is one of the accounts that helped to outline the image of Italy at that time and of Tuscany in particular.
