Excerpt from Round the World Letters
Some books are to be, tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested, saith Lord Bacon. Because of the first part of this statement of the great authority I may venture to place this book before the public. There may be nothing to chew and digest, possibly nothing to swallow; but I believe there is something to taste.
During a two years' tour of the world, completed a few months ago, I wrote a series of letters for The Providence Daily Journal. At the suggestion of its accomplished editor, Mr. G. W. Danielson, I made these letters a record prominently of personal sight-seeing and experiences.
This book contains not only that series of letters somewhat altered, but many additions both from my notebooks and from another series of letters I contributed for a Cincinnati paper.
