Why do people travel? Co-presence Self-fashioning Pilgrimage First , to make curious collections as natural philosophers, virtuosos, or antiquarians. Secondly , to improve in painting, statuary, architecture and music. Thirdly , to obtain the reputation of being men of virtue, and of elegant taste. Fourthly , to acquire foreign airs, and adorn their dear persons with fine clothes and new fashions, and their conversation with new phrases. Or, fifthly , to rub off local prejudices (which is indeed the most commendable motive, though not the most prevailing) and to acquire that enlarged and impartial view of men and things, which no single country can afford.
