Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old World, Through Old Eyes, Three Years in Oriental Lands These letters, written to my family during a trip around the world, I have collected and printed for my grandchildren. I wish them to serve as a reminder of me in the time, not far distant, when my children will know me only through these written words. But I have also another object now, which I did not at first contemplate. I desire through the sale of this book to make these letters contribute, at least in some degree, to the comfort of those heroes, the wounded soldiers of Prance. Every dollar realized from the book shall be sent to French hospitals as long as the war lasts. Not that my sympathies are more with French than with English wounded, but I know the need is greater among the French, and my slender resources must go to them. When peace shall have been declared should any sales of the book still continue the proceeds therefrom shall be devoted to the French soldiers blinded during the war. I should, perhaps, explain to any readers of these pages that I have not followed the usual course of travel narrative, for I have given little space to descriptions of natural scenery or of national monuments. What most interested me in my travels were the results obtained in colonization and in the government of backward peoples by the Americans, English, French, and Dutch.
