Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Round the Globe, in Old and New Paths Having made four visits to the Old World previous to 1887-1888, I set out on my tour "Round the Globe" somewhat apprehensive of the pleasures and inconveniences of travel. My aim was to improve every opportunity for gaining knowledge of lands and seas, of vegetable and animal life, of men and society, of schools and religions. I went where I pleased, meeting with kindly natures everywhere, - leading me to join the Syrian in affirming that a friend is fairer than the roses of Damascus and more precious than the pearls of Oman. The present volume is the record of sight-seeing and after-reflection of more than nine months experience in detours round the world. I am not so vain as to imagine that the book is free from peculiarities and imperfections. Still, my hope is that it may go forth, so fortunate as to encourage eyes to see, ears to hear, and memory to retain those things which tend to enlarge mental capacity and adorn human character.
