Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters: Written During an European Tour Edinburgh, Scotland, July 11, 1878. The educational party organized by Dr. Eben Tourjee, of Boston, Mass., which sailed from New York, Saturday, June 29, in the steamship "Devonia," of the Anchor line, arrived in this beautiful and picturesque city yesterday, late in the afternoon, having landed at Greenock early that morning and proceeded by special trains, carriages, and steamers, from there through the lake region to here. Before speaking about what we have done since coming ashore, I will say a few words in regard to our voyage. We were fortunate in having delightful weather most of the way across, and the days passed away very quickly. After being four days out it came on rough, and the majority of the party succumbed to that much-to-be-dreaded ill, sea-sickness. A very few escaped it. As soon as the waves subsided, however, all was serene again, with a few exceptions, and the last forty-eight hours on the ocean saw everybody in the best of spirits, and those who had paid the most tribute to Neptune were the liveliest of us all. The party numbers two hundred and fifty, and the members come from many walks in life and represent nearly every State in the Union. It is the largest excursion party that ever went out from America. Our list includes men well known in the musical and literary world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
