§ 24. Books of Travel.

Our knowledge of the inner life of the past is based to a considerable extent on accounts by travelers of what they saw while on their journeyings. Perhaps it would be better to regard these books not so much as descriptions of what actually passed before the tourist's eyes, as descriptions of what the narrator thought he saw. We are all aware of the deficiency of vision of later visitors; there is no reason to suppose that earlier writers were better fitted to observe what was going on around them or to understand the genius of the people whose manners they depicted. A traveler also naturally notes the peculiar things he sees and thus gives a distorted picture at best. These books must be used with the greatest caution and checked in every possible way by reference to recorded fact. They are sometimes indispensable, however, to light up an otherwise dreary story, and some of them are good reading.
