Excerpt from Hints for Six Months in Europe: Being the Programme of a Tour Through Parts of France, Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, the Tyrol, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, England and Scotland, in the Summer of 1868
The voyage was longer than had been anticipated. The Europe was a slow ship, even with the assistance of a heavy north-wester from the edge of the Gulf Stream to within twenty-four hours of the French coast. But she was staunch and comfortable, having much less motion in a sea-way than the faster-going propellers of the same line: the discipline and service were admirable, and the table was all that could be de sired. The eleven and a half days of the voyage soon slipped by, therefore; and during the latter part, the writer, with the aid of Bradshaw's Continental Guide and the recollections of two previous tours, completed in minute detail the Itinerary, which was subsequently followed with scarcely a deviation.
