This article presents information about the book "Journal of a Visit to London and the Continent," by Herman Melville. Melville, at the age of 30, was already a successful and popular writer when he took ship for England with the manuscript of "White Jacket" in his carpet-bag for the sake of hawking it about among English publishers and circumventing thus the mischievous workings of the copyright machinery. The whole journal has been edited and published by Melville's granddaughter, Metcalf Melville, with full and valuable notes and in a text that is an accurate one. Melville's London journal has too much of himself in it not be a document of great value.
