O ovoj e-knjizi



PREFACE

This book is a record of a pleasure trip. If it were a record of a solemn scientific

expedition, it would have about it that gravity, that profundity, and that impressive

incomprehensibility which are so proper to works of that kind, and withal so

attractive. Yet notwithstanding it is only a record of a picnic, it has a purpose, which is

to suggest to the reader how he would be likely to see Europe and the East if he

looked at them with his own eyes instead of the eyes of those who traveled in those

countries before him. I make small pretense of showing anyone how he ought to look

at objects of interest beyond the sea--other books do that, and therefore, even if I were

competent to do it, there is no need.

I offer no apologies for any departures from the usual style of travel writing that may

be charged against me--for I think I have seen with impartial eyes, and I am sure I

have written at least honestly, whether wisely or not.

In this volume I have used portions of letters which I wrote for the Daily Alta

California, of San Francisco, the proprietors of that journal having waived their rights

and given me the necessary permission. I have also inserted portions of several letters

written for the New York Tribune and the New York Herald.
