An appreciation of the motor car and the pleasures of motoring by Filson Young (1876–1938), one of the first British writers to celebrate the aesthetic and emotional experience of the automobile. Published by Methuen and Co. of 36 Essex Street, London in 1907, adorned with a frontispiece reproduced from a painting by Paul Gervais. The text is set in a distinctive continuous format without chapter headings. Young was also the author of The Complete Motorist (1904) and a formative voice in British motoring literature.
