Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Seven Months Run, Up, and Down, and Around the World When I left home, late in May, 1871, after an extraordinary session of Congress, it was for the sake of health, to free body and mind from work and excitement of all sorts, such as I had broken down under, in the hot, unhealthy air, and unnatural light of the House of Representatives and its Committee rooms. Then, it never entered my head "to scribble" (for that is the only proper word) the notes which are here embodied in a book, not altogether with my approbation, though of course, with my consent. A life-long habit of work compelled me to work (I could not help it), and hence, in disobedience of the orders of my physician, I took to scribbling, always in pencil, these notes or letters, which others would have kept in their trunks, but which I sent home, rude and rough, "and good enough for a newspaper," perhaps, which lives but a day, but not good enough for a book, especially for a book of travels.
