| Summary | "Touring in 1600: A Study in the Development of Travel as a Means of Education" by E. S. Bates is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of travel during the 17th century, particularly focusing on its significance as a form of education, outlining various types of travelers and their motivations in that era. It presents a detailed examination of the cultures, experiences, and writings of notable tourists from this time, highlighting the impact of their journeys on their personal and philosophical development. The opening of the book introduces a variety of travelers from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, emphasizing their differing motivations and backgrounds. It features prominent figures such as Michel de Montaigne, who sought health through travel; Fynes Moryson, a meticulous observer of cultures; and Pietro della Valle, whose romantic adventures intertwined with his explorations. The narrative reflects on the diversity of experiences, from the philosophical inquiries of some travelers to the more practical endeavors of those motivated by trade or diplomacy. Through profiles and anecdotes, the author sets the stage for a broader exploration of travel as a means of acquiring knowledge and understanding, establishing the historical context that facilitates the reader's engagement with the topic.
