"Coaching, with Anecdotes of the Road" by Lord William Pitt Lennox is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the history and experiences of coaching in England, reflecting on the evolution of travel from the period of horse-drawn carriages to the advent of rail travel. It delves into anecdotes, including the challenges, dangers, and social aspects associated with coaching, combining both personal narrative and historical detail. The opening of the work sets the stage for a reflection on the history of coaching, beginning with ancient references to charioteers and the development of carriages in England. Lennox compares past and present travel experiences, detailing the discomforts and dangers faced by travelers of his time compared to the conveniences introduced by railways. He describes the state of the roads, the personalities of notable drivers, and specific anecdotes that illustrate the conditions and societal interactions encountered during journeying by coach, thus providing a vivid glimpse of travel in a bygone era.
