THE
TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES
OF
William Lithgow.
THE sufferings and perigrinations of this Scotsman, who far out-walked the late famous Coryate, “seem,” says Mr Granger, “to raise him almost to the rank of a martyr, and a hero.” His book being very scarce, and little known, a short abridgment may be acceptable; in which we shall, in general, omit his descriptions, and insert only his adventures. After making two voyages to the Orkney and Shetland islands,
and walking all over Germany, Bohemia, Switzerland, and the Low Countries, our author visited Paris, where he resided ten
months.
