Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Europa or Scenes and Society in England, France, Italy, and Switzerland When I returned from Europe, a few months ago, I had no idea of making a book, or adding to that very questionable department of American literature known as "works of travel:" The residence of a few months in any country does not give one such a full and perfect idea of the people as will enable him to advance opinions which will be of any considerable value to his readers. And yet he must be a dull scholar if he does not learn something which he can present in a way which will make it interesting and profitable. If he sees and hears independently, and without prejudice, his criticisms will not be entirely worthless. He will at least give an idea of the way in which his own mind was impressed by what he saw and heard; and though he might not be able to give a perfect view of the real condition of society, he will be able to sketch its outlines, and perhaps enter sightly into its details.
