Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The World´s Columbian Exposition: And the City of Chicago Viewed From an English Standpoint, a Stereopticon Lecture Recently Delivered Before the London Polytechnic Institute The following lecture has been considered of sufficient interest to be submitted to the perusal of the American people, and it has therefore - at the suggestion of some of my kind friends in Chicago - been reprinted in its present form. In offering it to the indulgent criticism of (I hope) a large circle of readers in the United States, I wish to make the following very brief explanation. The lecture was delivered before a crowded and deeply attentive audience at that admirable institution, the London Polytechnic, solely with the object of awaking a general interest in England, on the subject of the World´s Columbian Exposition; to give the British public some faint idea of the importance of the Exposition, and of the city in which it will be held; to indicate some of the advantages that will be enjoyed by foreign visitors to Chicago in 1893, and above all, to aid in some small measure the admirable and very successful movement organized by the Polytechnic, for helping the wage workers in England to visit what will undoubtedly be the greatest exhibition of the century. That these objects have been partially achieved is evident from the public demand which has arisen for the reprint of the lecture in the United Kingdom, and which, according to the Polytechnic Journal, will involve the issue of 100,000 copies; and from the fact that arrangements have now been completed for delivering the lecture throughout the country with the numerous stereopticon slides, with which it is illustrated. I wish to disclaim all but the small amount of credit which is really mine, in connection with this very successful effort to disseminate information and to place the remainder where it is due.
