English Wayfaring Life in the 



Middle Ages (XlVth Century) 



BY J. J. JUSSERAND. 

 Translated by LUCY A. TOULMIN SMITH. 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



"The book is a translation and an amplification of one of those 

 enchanting volumes which only Frenchmen have the gift of writing, . . . 

 a pleasure to handle, a joy to read, and bearing with it, when one gets to 

 the end of it, a conviction that one has become a much more learned man 

 than one was a week ago, for that somehow one has absorbed a great 

 deal that the outer world knows little about. Pray do not order this 

 volume at the library. Buy it if you are wise, and keep it as a joy for 

 ever." Dr. AUGUSTUS JESSOPP in the Nineteenth Century. 



"A mine of information regarding the roads, the travelling, and the 

 travellers of the fourteenth century. . . . The book is crammed with 

 curious information of all kinds." Spectator. 



" The best and most picturesque account of English outdoor life in the 

 period of Chaucer that our literature possesses." Gentleman's Magazine. 



" An extremely fascinating book." Times. 



" All readers of history are laid under obligation by M. J. J. Jusserand's 

 thoroughgoing inquiry into ' English Wayfaring Life in the Middle 

 Ages.' . . . M. Jusserand is the very opposite of a dry-as-dust antiquarian. 

 The records from which he has compiled his material are both dry and 

 dusty, but by their help he fills the old roads of England with living 

 people, and most vividly reproduces the fourteenth century. . . . M. 

 Jusserand's volume is one of permanent value, and will be read with 

 avidity by any who have the slightest fraction of the historical spirit." 

 British Weekly. 



" We are much obliged to the learned and genial French author for 

 this accurate and picturesque survey of some interesting features in the 

 common life of England during the fourteenth century. His book should 

 be read along with the immortal Prologue, at least, to the Tales of the 

 delightful Canterbury Pilgrimage. ' English Wayfaring Life ' is a scientific 

 treatise on its subject, and is one of the pleasantest gatherings of anti- 

 quarian knowledge." Illustrated London News.
