In 1775, a young Philadelphia Quaker was sent by his father to gather information on business conditions in the British Isles. Fisher's travels took him throughout Britain and Ireland, even across the English Channel, and the journals that record his observations provide a distinctive commentary on the economic and social life of the time.
