    摘要、提要註: In 1815, amidst the decline of George III, the scandals of the Regency, and the defeat of Napoleon, a 26-year-old Bostonian named Joseph Ballard toured Great Britain and left a complete record of his impressions. Ballard was officially part of the effort to reestablish trade with Britain following the war of 1812, but it is also clear that he was eager to get a closer look at mother Englandnow that the last vestiges ofcolonial ties had been severed. Ballard's journal is an engaging and lively narrative full of period detail, and it offers fascinating insights into British and American society during a critical era for both nations. This edition presents the journal in its entirety, along with invaluable historical and cultural context that make clear the unique significance of Ballard's account.
