182828241London: Longman Rees Orme Brown and Green 1828 1828. First edition. Fine copy. 8vo contemporary brown calf brown morocco spine label gilt decorations and lettering. Bound without the half-title. In 1783 Mary Berry 1763-1852 author and friend and editor of Horace Walpole went on the Grand Tour of Europe with her father and sister Agnes and returned there particularly to France many times. Her richly woven Comparative View represents observations gathered in over thirty-five years of travel to France during which she was a keen observer and reporter. While not descriptive of the sights and scenes or the arduousness of the journey Berry's writings are insightful social commentary similar to the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft Helen Maria Williams and Harriet Martineau. In 1831 Berry published a companion volume which brought her cultural study forward from 1789 to 1830. <br/><br/> London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, 1828 unknown books
