With volume 26 of the CGL-Studies, the Center for Garden Art and Landscape Architecture (CGL) of Leibniz Universität Hannover continues after volume 11 (H. Fischer, S. Thielking, J. Wolschke-Bulmahn, eds, Reisen in Parks und Gärten. Umrisse einer Rezeptions- und Imaginationsgeschichte), and volume 23 (Hubertus Fischer, Georg Ruppelt, Joachim Wolschke-Bulmahn, eds, Eine Reise in die Schweiz. Das Reisetagebuch des hannoverschen Hofgärtners Heinrich Ludolph Wendland aus dem Jahr 1820) continues the scholarly examination of historical travelogues in their content of information on the history of gardens and travel as well as on historical aspects of landscape perception. Volume 26 presents the results of the symposium held in February 2016 and funded by the Volkswagen Foundation, ""Travel and Gardens. Travel, Travelogues, and Gardens from the Middle Ages to the Present."" The individual chapters are dedicated to topics such as travel literature and garden history, travelogues in garden art and garden monument preservation, travel, nature and landscapes, or travelogues in their significance for the history of the horticultural profession. Horticulture and landscape architecture in modern travel as well as editorial aspects of travelogues are further thematic foci of the volume.

Published in 1876, this vivid, action-packed account describes the experiences of David Kennedy Jr (1849-85) as he toured the world with his musician father and family choir between 1872 and 1876 performing 'The Songs of Scotland'. Kennedy travelled through 'nearly every town and village in Australia, New Zealand and Canada', and over a three-year period wrote articles recording his impressions for publication in Edinburgh newspapers; this book is an edited and expanded compilation of those pieces. Kennedy describes places and events including Sydney Harbour, floods in Melbourne, the New Zealand volcanic country, a violent storm at sea, San Francisco, the American trans-continental railway and a Canadian snowstorm. His vignettes of local society are particularly fine, and depict entertainments and pastimes, education and worship, and indigenous traditions as well as individuals.

Described by The Morning Post as exhibiting 'facilities of observation never before possessed by a European lady', Anne Katharine Elwood was the ideal narrator for an exotic and exciting travel journal. The first woman to travel overland to India, she acquired a reputation as a pioneer even before her diary was published. When it first appeared in 1830 this work attracted much praise from critics and the general public alike. Elwood's travelogue introduces readers to an extraordinarily diverse range of locations and sights. Volume 2 describes the customs, habits, castes and religions of Indian society, includes a startling account of snakes and lizards, and ends with Elwood's homeward voyage via Ceylon, St Helena and Ascension Island. A contemporary critic recommended her account as 'the most amusing book of travels we have read for a long time'.
