4. Hazlitt hits off the wild generalizations common in his day: "Because the French are animated and full of gesticulation, they are a theatrical people; i£ they smile and are polite, they are like monkeys — an idea an Englishman never has out of his head, and it is well if he can keep it between his lips." Journey, Works, ix, 139. "If we meet with anything odd or absurd in France, it is immediately set down as French and characteristic of the country, though we meet with a thousand odd and disagreeable things every day in England (that we never met before) without taking any notice of them." Ibid., ix, 141.

115. 1. A tourist was advised always to carry paper, pen, and ink in his pocket and jot down comments upon the most remarkable things that he saw. Says Berchtold, "The daily remarks ought to be copied from the pocket book into the journal before the traveller goes to rest." (An Essay, etc., i, 43.) He adds (p. 45) that it is "imprudent and often very dangerous, for a traveller to lend his journal."
