<i>East by West: a Journey in the Recess</i> is an account of British journalist Henry Lucy's travels across America and on to the Far East during the parliamentary recess in 1883.<br /><br /> Lucy was one of the most influential journalists of his day and, as "Toby M.P.", a noted humorist in Punch magazine. His acute powers of observation and light touch make this a most engaging book. It is a fascinating insight into the Englishman's travels abroad within two decades of the American Civil War
