Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes of What I Saw, and How I Saw It The author has no apology to make for placing this book before the public. The subjects with which it deals have, it is true, been treated by much more able pens than my own; but I hope and believe that some things will be found in the following pages that will both entertain and instruct the reader. I prefer, however, that the book shall either commend or damn itself That it is freighted with imperfections, I am as fully aware as the most careful reader can be, but I trust that no part of the narrative is inaccurate. I have endeavored to tell the story of my tour of the world in plain language, with no attempt at embellishment, rhetorical or otherwise. The letters first appeared in the columns of the Bueyrus Forum, and, as their dates indicate, were written mainly amid the scenes to which they relate. Of course, little opportunity was had for leisurely and studied writing. They have been revised, not so much with the view of making material alterations, as for the purpose of correcting slight errors of statement that resulted from hurried preparation and the absence of opportunities for examining frequently necessary references.
