Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of the experience. He that travelleth into a country, before he hath some entrance into the language, go to school; and not to travel, Those young men travel under some tutor or grave servant, I allow well; so that he be such a one that hath the language, and hath been in the country before; whereby he may be able to tell them what things are worthy to be seen in the country, where they go, what acquaintances they are to seek, what exercises or discipline the place yieldeth; for else young men shall go hooded and look abroad little. It is a strange thing, that in sea voyages, where there is nothing to be seen but sky and sea, men should make diaries; but on land travel, wherein so much is to be observed. for the most part, they omit it; as if the chance were Pitter to be registered than observation; let diaries, therefore, be brought in use, The things to be seen and observed are, the courts of princes, especially when they give audience to ambassadors; the courts of justice, while they sit and hear causes.
