He that would travel for the entertainment of others, should remember that the great object 
of remark is human life. Every nation has something particular in its manufactures, its works 
of genius, its medicines, its agriculture, its customs, and its policy. He only is a useful traveller, 
who brings home something by which his country may be benefited ; who procures some supply 
of want, or some mitigation of evil, which may enable his readers to compare their condition 
with that of others ; to improve it whenever it is worse 5 and whenever it is better to enjoy it. 
Dr. Johnson.
