Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Views a-Foot: Or Europe Seen With Knapsack and Staff In presenting to the public a new and improved edition of this record of his wanderings, the author could not justly suffer the opportunity to go by without expressing his grateful acknowledgment of the kindness with which his work has been received. Although his aim was simply to give a narrative of personal experience which it was hoped might be of some value to many a toiling student in the college of the world, he was aware that it would be considered a test of his literary ability, and that whatever hearing he might have hoped to obtain for the works of maturer years would be dependent on its success. With a total ignorance of the arts of book-making, and uncertain whether a new voice from the track where thousands had been before him would find a patient auditory, it was therefore not without considerable anxiety that he gave his volume to the world. But he was not prepared to hope for such an immediate and generous favor as it received. By the press of our own country, as well as the more rigid reviewers of Great Britain, whatever merits it possesses were cordially appreciated, while its faults were but lightly touched - perhaps from a sympathy with the youth of the author and the plan of his enthusiastic pilgrimage. But, what was most grateful of all, he learned that many another young and hopeful spirit had been profited and encouraged by his own experience and was ready to try the world with as little dependence on worldly means.
