Charles Boileau Elliott (1803–1875) was an English travel writer. He published 3 travel diaries in his lifetime. His best known works are Letters from the North of Europe, Travels in the Three Great Empires, and Travels in the Archipelago. All 3 books provide a unique historical account of life in those areas during the mid 1800s just prior to the wars and industrial achievements that would be coming later in the 20th century.
Elliott was the son of Charles Elliot and Alicia Boileau who were married in 1802.[1] He was educated at Harrow School and East India Company College, Hertfordshire. He spent some time in India as an Artillery Officer with the East India Company. He matriculated at Queens' College, Cambridge in 1829, graduating B.A. in 1833, and M.A. in 1837. He became vicar of Godalming in Surrey in 1833, and rector of Tattingstone in Suffolk in 1838. During the writing of his most famous work, Travels in the Three Great Empires, he wrote extensively about the political, social, and economic conditions of the day in what is now Austria, Russia, Hungary, Prague, Slovenia, Crimea, Macedonia and Turkey.
