Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Over the Purple Hills: Or, Sketches of Travel in California of Important Points Usually Visited by Tourists In making a few prefatorial remarks I desire to say that this little work, now presented to the public, is a book of travels written by a woman, and the journeyings have been performed by a woman alone. Mother Partington and some of the Grundys may be led to exclaim, "Dew tell!" "feerful to behold!" and what is this world a coming tew!" "who is there left to take care of the children!" etc. One would think it high time for people to lay aside such ridiculous prejudices, but they never will; the mass of mankind are tinctured with local superstitions that could not survive one moment with a single ray of reason brought to bear upon them; still these superstitions are cherished as a species of Deity, to be invoked when its subjects are in danger of fancied contamination.
