Summary: "A Year's Journey through France and Part of Spain, Volume 1" by Philip Thicknesse is a travel account written in the late 18th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences and observations as he travels through France and parts of Spain, detailing the customs, manners, and notable locations he encounters along the way. Readers can expect a blend of personal anecdotes and social commentary from Thicknesse, as he reflects on the differences between French and English cultures during his journey. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to Thicknesse's perspective as he begins his travels in Calais, sharing insights on the interactions between travelers and the locals, and setting forth an intention to provide valuable observations based on his previous travels. He recounts how travelers' experiences can be colored by their states of mind and offers reflections on the reception he has received. Thicknesse also humorously critiques other travel writers for their extremes of praise or criticism, establishing his own goal of delivering a balanced perspective. Through the letters he composes to a friend, he provides quaint observations on the quirks of French society, travel tips, and personal reflections on family and health that establish a rich context for the experiences he shares in the chapters to come.
