Written To Order: Being Some Account Of The Journeyings Of An Irresponsible Egotist, And Of How He Enjoyed Himself Thereon (1885) is a humorous travelogue written by George Nugent-Bankes. The book follows the author’s travels through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia as he indulges in his own whims and desires. Nugent-Bankes is a self-proclaimed egotist who freely admits to being irresponsible, and his journey is filled with amusing anecdotes and observations about the people and places he encounters. The book is a light-hearted and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on travel in the late 19th century. Nugent-Bankes’ writing style is witty and engaging, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in travel literature or comedic memoirs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
