Burritt makes a note

Abstract

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, while his country was in the throes of civil war, a wealthy American, Elihu Burritt, was walking through Scotland notebook in hand. He was in the final stages of a walk from London to John o' Groats, and his role was that of corresponding secretary (unpaid) to a farmers’ club he had founded in his native town of New London, Connecticut.
