Title
A name given to the resource
Enlarging the prospects of happiness: European travel writing through the ages. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
Discoveries of new places, customs and climates always fascinate. While few of us possess the stamina, courage or funds to undertake marvellous or exotic voyages, we eagerly await reports of the exploits of famous travellers. It is little surprise that National Geographic magazine enjoys one of the largest readerships in English. Accounts of travel appear to have been popular from the beginning, though readers in earlier ages clearly sought different sorts of enlightenment expressed in quite different styles. This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.

Michelin man
Description
An account of the resource
The Michelin man seems slightly thin by comparison with his modern counterpart, but the insistent endorsement of Michelin products is as modern as any web-page advertising. At this date, the guides had not yet adopted the star rating system and did not comment on dining establishments. However, the company did give the guides away, a new edition each year, to the extent that 'The Michelin Guides distributed gratis every year would, if placed one upon another, make a pile 60 times as high as St. Paul's Cathedral' (2).

An account of the resource
This small book is too tightly bound to be displayed open, but its small size belies its influence.

This handbook is included as evidence of other uses to which travel guides may be put. One can easily imagine a character in A Room with a View placing a favourite flower into his or her Baedeker.

Imaginary dialogues
Description
An account of the resource
These two imaginary dialogues raise serious questions about the value of the grand tour. Locke is the more sceptical speaker, and ultimately the more forceful. In refuting the traditional argument that travel exposed one to the various guises of Human Nature, Locke here advocates travel beyond Europe, to ‘catch Her undressed, nay quite naked in North-America, and at the Cape of Good Hope'. Perhaps he should have carried The Gentleman's Pocket Companion with him.

Title
A name given to the resource
Millenium Hall
Description
An account of the resource
Although Millenium Hall is fictional, the title-page presents it as a domestic tour, and the explicitly 'improving' aim of the work is not out of keeping with other travels of its day. John Newbery, to whom Scott dedicates her book, was the first major English publisher of books for children, and she shared his sentimental objectives even though she did not write this book for a younger audience.
The use of an anonymous male pseudonym befits the rather unusual voyeuristic frontispiece (Millenium Hall is a secular convent), but was primarily a way of lending the book, with its strong philosophical arguments for female education, a seriousness that Scott rightly believed a woman novelist's name would not evoke.

Description
An account of the resource
William Dampier was the most successful English buccaneer, redeeming his reputation as a mercenary adventurer by aspiring to the role of scientific explorer. This world map, drawn by Herman Moll, the premier cartographer of his day, shows the known outlines of Australia and New Zealand based on the voyages of Dampier and Tasman. On the whole, Dampier and his fellow sailors were not impressed by their encounters with Australian aborigines, but his accounts greatly encouraged British interest in exploration of the South Seas.

Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.

An African adventure story
Description
An account of the resource
Bruce's story remains one of the quintessential African adventure stories, and was eagerly expected by contemporary readers. Bruce took sixteen years to publish his account, by which time Mungo Park and others had brought back further information and survived even greater hardships, but it was still a success even in its large, 5-volume format.
This particular edition is an abridgement of the 1804/5 Edinburgh second edition. It was printed in 1964 by the same printing firm, T. & A. Constable, that printed the original. It would be nice to think that the success of Bruce's story at the beginning of the nineteenth century put the firm on the sound footing that ensured its future. Certainly there was still a demand for Bruce's account more than 150 years later.

James Boswell (In the dess of an armed Corsican Chief)
Description
An account of the resource
By the second half of the eighteenth century, the grand tour had been so frequently recounted that Boswell and Brydone both sought more remote corners of Italy. Boswell's usual irrepressible enthusiasm and undaunted effrontery secured him the acquaintance of Pascal Paoli, a freedom fighter of his day, while Boswell's published account (1768) earned for its author the life-long soubriquet of Corsican Boswell. Brydone dedicated his account to William Beckford, responsible for the fashion of picturesque tours, who had initially suggested Brydone visit Sicily:
I remember to have heard you regret, that in all your peregrinations through Europe, you had ever neglected the island of Sicily; and had spent much of your time in running over the old beaten track, and in examining the thread-bare subjects of Italy and France; when probably there were a variety of objects, not less interesting, that still lay buried in oblivion in that celebrated island. (1-2)
Brydone clearly identified the interesting objects, for his work went through more than 20 editions in his lifetime.

St. Michael's Mount
Description
An account of the resource
While Boswell's impressive volume is more historical and topographical than Gilpin or Combe, his title reveals the emphasis readers and publishers placed on the 'views'. The 'pleasing effect' of St. Michael's Mount and its 'agreeable' situation with its 'pleasant and extensive' 'prospect' are not archaeologically or strategically significant, but they certainly make this remote corner of the kingdom worthy of a visit by the discerning tourist. Most of the descriptions of English sites first appeared in the London Magazine from 1747 to 1760.

This image of Canongate during a royal procession highlights Edinburgh's loyalty to the monarch as well as its impressive modernity. Scotland was no longer the potentially rebellious or poverty-stricken northern neighbour of earlier accounts.
This particular publication led its publisher, Virtue, to claim 'that the prosperity he had attained was mainly owing to Dr. Beattie's literary assistance'. Beattie and Bartlett put out similar volumes on Switzerland, the castles and abbeys of England, and the Danube, though the Scottish volume was the greatest success.

This highly selective record of travel accounts over the past 500 years reveals both continuities and variations as readers explore new possibilities of worship, trade, social and political structures, and new ways of understanding their own place in the world.
Drawn primarily from the riches of the de Beer collection, with other material from special collections and Central Library holdings and from the Hocken Library and pictorial collections, this exhibition displays the remarkable breadth of the University's treasures. Moving outward from Rome as the centre of the European imagination, we traverse Europe through the mid-19th century, roam the Atlantic to the Americas and Africa, and finally conquer the Pacific in search of new territory and ideas. We witness travellers as pilgrims, explorers, diplomats and tourists. We encounter new creatures, renewed appreciation of domestic attractions, and a constant tension between fact and fiction. While the material displayed focuses primarily on works in English, similar publications appeared in every European language.
The exhibition curated by Dr Shef Rogers and was opened on Thursday 20 June 2002 at 5.30pm.
