(1824) is a two-volume collection of essays and short stories composed by Washington Irving while he was living in Europe, primarily in Germany and Paris.

The collection was published under Irving's pseudonym, Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.

Irving thought highly of Tales of a Traveller, saying: "I think there are in it some of the best things I have ever written".

[1] Critic John Neal was severe in his critique,[2] saying in American Writers: "We hardly know how to speak of this sad affair .... No wonder that people have begun to question his originality".

[3] By the early 20th century, critics generally ranked it lower than The Sketch Book.
