In the nineteenth century some parts of the world were unexplored, but there was almost no restriction on travel. :; Up to 1914 you did not need a passport for any country except Russia. :; The European emigrant, if he could scrape together a few pounds for the passage, simply set sail for America or Australia, and when he got there no questions were asked. :; In the eighteenth century it had been quite normal and safe to travel in a country with which your own country was at war.

I worked in the mail room at CAA when I was in high school. I worked in the literary department, too. That was my after school job, believe it or not: I would read manuscripts and then evaluations on whether or not I thought they'd make good movies. Which was fascinating and kind of hilarious to me at the time.
