OF TRAVEL.

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education ;
in the elder, a part of experience. He that travel-
leth into a country, before he hath some entrance
into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel.
That young men travel under some tutor or grave
servant I allow well, so that he be such a one that
hath the language, and hath been in the country
before, whereby he may be able to tell them what
things are worthy to be seen in the country where
they go; what acquaintances they are to seek ;
what exercises or discipline the place yieldeth. For
else young men shall go hooded, and look abroad
little. It is a strange thing that in sea voyages,
where there is nothing to be seen but sky and sea,
men should make diaries ; but in land travel, wherein
so much is to be observed, for the most part they
omit it, as if chance were fitter to be registered than
observation.    Let diaries, therefore, be brought in
