Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses in America; Or the New World as We Saw It: With Notices of the Evangelical Alliance, the Pacific Railway, and California This volume is not a diary, nor is it a book of travel. It is certainly very much of the nature of both. Yet it is not exactly either; for it eschews the inevitable egotism of the one, and the inherent, and often dry and enfeebling, details of the other. Indeed, the work is just what it says it is, - a series of glimpses, - of glimpses caught, not with the eyes of others, nor through the too often obfuscating media of other people´s lucubrations, but caught with our own eyes, and reproduced with as much exactness as scenes and events transferred with fidelity to writing usually have. Should any one ask why the book has been written, our answer is ready. Some books have been written to inform, some to amuse, and some to edify; but this has been written to accomplish all three. With what success, our readers will judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
