BRITISH HIGHWAYS 
AND BYWAYS 


FROM A MOTOR-CAR

In this chronicle of a summer's motoring in Britain | have not attempted a guide-book in 
any sense, yet the maps, together with the comments on highways, towns, and country, 
should be of some value even in that capacity. | hope, however, that the book, with its 
many illustrations and its record of visits to out-of-the way places, may be acceptable 
to those who may desire to tour Britain by rail or cycle as well as by motor car. Nor may 
it be entirely uninteresting to those who may not expect to visit the country in person 
but desire to learn more of it and its people. (Introduction by Thomas Dowler Murphy)
