In 1775, a young Philadelphia Quaker was sent by his father to
gather detailed information on business conditions in the British
Isles. Fisher's travels took him throughout Britain and Ireland,
even across the English Channel, and the journals that record his
observations provide a fascinating and very distinctive commentary
on the economic and social life of the time. Detailed and astute
descriptions of British manufacturing and trade are balanced by
lively comments on landscape gardening and country houses, and
there is much material on the transatlantic connections of the
Society of Friends during the American Revolution. The travel
journals are supplemented by Fisher's cameos of merchants in the
major trading centers, with lists of all the goods handled.
