""Dialogues On The Uses Of Foreign Travel"" is a book written by Richard Hurd in 1764. The book is a conversation between Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. Lock, discussing the importance of foreign travel as a part of an English gentleman's education. The two characters debate the benefits and drawbacks of travelling abroad, such as the acquisition of knowledge, cultural exposure, and language skills versus the potential dangers and expenses of travel. Hurd's work is a reflection of the Enlightenment era's fascination with travel and exploration, as well as the growing trend of English nobility undertaking the Grand Tour of Europe. The book provides valuable insights into the attitudes and beliefs of the 18th-century aristocracy towards foreign cultures and their impact on the development of English society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
