Book Description
Excerpt from Notes of Foreign Travel I could not find my sparrow anywhere on deck this morning, and was told that quite likely, as often happens, he had flown too far from the steamer, and could not get back. There is only a moderate swell of the ocean, imparting no more than a slight motion to the huge steamer. After comparatively clearing away, the fog will gather with wonderful celerity, and the dismal fog-horn sounded all night, much to our disturbance, as our rooms are on the promenade-deck, with port-holes open, for it has come off warm. The sea roughened toward night, and the crests of the swells show white with foam all about. Still, the only motion of the steamer is a slow roll, just enough to affect a few of the most sensitive passengers. May 4. - Warm, with very little sea, and the fog quite gone. The run was four hundred and thirty-three miles, so that, under the most favorable circumstances, the steamer is not doing as well as was expected. The machinery is said not to be working well at all points. Now, at 4 p.m., the sun is out almost for the first time since the first half day, and the sky is not all clear from clouds.

Excerpt from From New York to Jerusalem: Or Notes of Foreign Travel The following notes of a tour in Europe and the East, made many years ago, were, on their first appearance, kindly received by many readers. In putting them into this more permanent form, the author would not be understood to claim for them the merit of novelty he only believes that details are given here and there in these pages which do not often find their way into books of travel.

Book Description
Excerpt from Appearances: Notes of Travel, East and West What made me hesitate was something more important than the date at which the letters were written. There is in them a note of eaperation which I would have wished to remove if I could. But I could not, without a complete rewriting, by which, even if it were possible to me, more would have been lost than gained. It is this note of exasperation which has induced me hitherto to keep the letters back, in Spite of requests to the con trary from American friends and publishers. But the opportunity of adding them as a pendant to letters from the East, where they fall naturally into their place as a complement and a contrast, has finally overcome my scruples; the more so, as much that is said of America is as typical of all the West, as it is foreign to all the East. That this Western civilisation, against which I have so much to say, is nevertheless the civilisa tion in which I would choose to live, in which I believe.

Aboard and Abroad

Book Description
Excerpt from Aboard and Abroad: Vacation Notes in Ten Letters, Originally Published in the Lowell Daily Courier The following letters were originally written for the Lowell Daily Courier. They were intended only to afford a momentary gratification to the readers of that paper who might be interested in the little party of tourists whose adventures they relate. The letters have been so kindly received, and copies of the same so often requested, that they have been reproduced in the present form for private distribution. For their reproduction, special thanks are due to Messrs. Marden & Rowell, who have, with characteristic kindness and liberality, afforded every facility for this purpose. With the primary idea of brevity as essential to letters intended for newspaper reading, much has been omitted from the descriptions of places visited that could easily have been added. It has not been thought advisable to change the plan of these letters in this regard. The present opportunity, however, admits of saying a word with reference to the business and social characteristics of the English people. So far as my observation extends, English merchants and business men are uniformly kind and courteous. Their manners and methods, like the country and its buildings, are solid and substantial, and while evincing less of that "cuteness" which is attributed to Americans in general, and to Yankees in particular, there is an element of honesty, sincerity, and conservatism which at once commands, not only respect, but the highest admiration. England, as I saw it, assumes towards America the position of parent to child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

One is, to travel quickly over much ground, and go to many places, but not to wear yourself out by attempting to see any of them thoroughly. This is a very ex pensive method, and only the most striking things impress themselves upon the mind, but still there is an impression, as well as a sense of the contrasts between different countries, and in case it is unlikely that you will ever go abroad again, your mental horizon has been widened for the rest Of your life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Three Months in Foreign Lands When we left for our Mediterranean cruise, January 30, 1905, I had no idea of writing notes or publishing them. However, on the trip we found so many scenes of interest that are very different from what is seen in this country, or the well traveled paths of the ordinary European tourist, that I decided to write some discriptive letters of our journey to my daughter and her husband, Mr. And Mrs. Chas. B. Farish, and to my partner, Mr. Joshua Motter, with whom I have been closely associated in the whole sale dry goods trade for the past thirty years. After our return, I had these letters type-written and gave a few copies to my friends. Many of them said they were interesting and instructive and urged me to have the notes pub lished in book form.

Book Description
Excerpt from Religion of the East: With Impressions of Foreign Travel When it was determined, most unexpectedly to myself, that I should leave my pe0p1e and my home on a visit to the East, in company with my now deceased daughter, and my beloved friend Dr. Anderson, it was my earnest desire and prayer, that I might make the interval of my absence as profitable to myself and others as possible. With this view, I resolved to keep my mind open tojust impressions from all that I might see and hear in the lands I expected to visit. I wished to view the objects and scenes which might engage my attention, not merely with the eye of curiosity, or of one traveling for pleasure, but as a christian minister, that so I might turn the impressions I should receive, to the spiritual advantage of my beloved people, and the furtherance of the great objects of my ministry, I was greatly interested in my journey, - 1t could not be oth erwise - the aspect of the countries I visited, the people, lan guage, religion, manners and customs, were all so strange and so new. What was thus interesting to myself, I naturally con cluded would also be interesting to my friends at home, though presented only in brief statement and outline. In this view, I have occasionally, since my return, delivered discourses, chie y in the form of Sabbath evening lectures, designed to give my people some instructive idea of the scenes I passed through during the time I was absent from them. The discourses in this volume are a part of what I have attempted in this way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
