Tour of the Grand Junction is a travelogue written by John Hassell in 1819. It describes his journey along the Grand Junction Canal, which runs from Braunston in Northamptonshire to the River Thames at Brentford in London. The book is divided into several sections, each covering a different part of the canal. Hassell provides a detailed account of the scenery, towns, and villages along the canal, as well as the people he meets on his journey. He also describes the history and construction of the canal, including the engineering feats required to build it. The book includes numerous illustrations by Hassell himself, depicting the landscapes, buildings, and people he encountered. These illustrations provide a visual record of the canal and the surrounding areas in the early 19th century. Overall, Tour of the Grand Junction offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of canal travel in the early 19th century, as well as a valuable historical record of the Grand Junction Canal and the communities it served.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
