Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Glances on the Wing: At Foreign Lands In the summer of 1871 I was induced, quite unexpectedly, to make a trip abroad. I went to accompany my son - Rev. Wayland Hoyt, pastor of Strong Place Baptist Church, in Brooklyn, New York. We were limited to three months´ leave of absence, including the voyages. The necessity for this limit was felt by my son to arise from his duties to his Church, which had tendered to him the vacation from exhausting labors, and had accompanied the offer with generous provision for the journey. I felt, also, that my business and family, left somewhat abruptly - consenting, however, to go, upon their earnest solicitation - required my early return. We did not suppose that so brief an opportunity would give to either of us adequate knowledge of foreign lands. We expected, merely, that our impressions - which in so large a field could only be rapid and fleeting - would yet give locality and definiteness to ideas derived from life-long reading. But these are benefits entirely personal. Then why - it may occur to some - dignify notes of mere glances at new scenes, taken while flitting on the wing, by printing them? The question Is pertinent.
