Choosing this book

Who this edition suits

Best for: A reader interested in a nineteenth-century resident’s account.

The original combines touring advice with letters from a year on Madeira and plant lists, revealing what an earlier visitor chose to notice.

Consider: Its travel advice belongs to its own era. Confirm whether a modern reprint preserves the images and supplementary lists you want.

This is selection guidance based on the listed edition and stated scope, not a claim of a first-hand test. Verify the edition before buying.
