In the West, the guidebook developed from the published personal experiences of aristocrats who traveled through Europe on the Grand Tour. As the appreciation of art, architecture and antiquity became ever-more essential ingredients of the noble upbringing so they predominated in the guidebooks, particularly those devoted to the Italian peninsula. Richard Lassels (1603-1668) wrote a series of manuscript guides which were eventually published posthumously in Paris and London (1670) as "The Voyage of Italy". Grand Tour guidebooks poured off the presses throughout the eighteenth century, those such as Patrick Brydone's "A Tour Through Sicily and Malta" being read by many who never left England.
