Excerpt from Recollections of Samuel Breck, With Passages From His Note-Books (1771-1862)
His recollections and his diaries together have fur nished the material for this volume. The larger part of it 'is occupied with the Recollections, which is printed without change, except in the omission of some portions of his foreign itinerary, and in such slight verbal corrections as he would himself have made if preparing his manuscript for the press. This portion has also been broken up for convenience into chapters.
