The son of a rich father, he was enabled from his earliest youth to gratify a taste for travel, on descriptions of which his fame chiefly rests. Among his happiest efforts are: "A Winter at Mentone" (1861); "Walks in Rome" (1870); "Wanderings in Spain" (1872); "Walks in London" (1877); "Days near Paris" (1887); and a narrative of travel in southern France. A volume of personal recollections (1895). He died at Holmhurst, Eng., Jan. 22, 1903.
