Excerpt from Round the World, Vol. 1: A Series of Letters; Europe and America
We have printed these letters just as they were. In a few of them there will be found some repetitions. This was inevitable, for they were written for papers published widely apart, and intended for readers in different sections of the country. But these repetitions are rather a charm than a fault, for they give greater fresh ness and vivacity to the descriptions. Besides, the language is varied, and what is repeated is told in a new way and with additional circum stances. Had we attempted to make any changes, we should have marred the whole; and had we omitted, we would have lost some of the best pages.
