Pilgrimare has been popular in all countries and at all times,For what could be happier than an agreeable cange which should contribute at once to wellfare of soul,refreshment of spirit,and vigour of of body? adventures on the way gave zest to the enterprise,it the more timed or feblee were content to visit neighboring shrines,those of hardier mould,like the wife of bath,took more formideble journeys.
"Thries hadde she been at Jerusalem;
She hadde passed many a straunge strem;
At rome she hadde been,and at Boloigne;
In gahce at seint Jame,and at Coloigne,
She koude muchel of wandrynge by the weye."
Some of the boldest and bravest of ancient travellers were pilgrims,and we have their records of wide wandering but their style is archaic,has at best litle purely literary merit,and is usually forbidding.they are little known,except to the special student.
