*This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors.
A travel book narrating Collins's 1850 walking tour of Cornwall with his artist friend, Henry Brandling. Published in 1851 and dedicated to the Duke of Northumberland. In those days 'even the railway stops short at Plymouth' and the travellers have to sail to their first destination at St Germains.
Collins found the locals hospitable, though inquisitive, and Rambles became an amiable mixture of travelogue, vivid descriptive writing, Cornish history and legend, and social observation.
