Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aboard and Abroad: In Eighteen Hundred and Eighty Four These letters were written without the remotest thought of their reaching the public in any other form than that of the newspaper column. They have appeared, most of them in the New York Evangelist some of them in the Presbyterian Journal, and some of them in the Episcopal Recorder, and some of them for the first time in these pages. They were written, several of them, on shipboard, while at times the vessel was apparently making strenuous and laudable efforts at a complete revolution on its horizontal axis, necessitating a continual swaying of the body to preserve a reasonably upright position and an occasional convulsive scramble to keep papers, portfolio, and inkstand from a precipitate rush to the floor of the saloon. A considerable number were written in hotels, under the feeble gleam of a candle - gas being a too precious commodity to waste on sojourners. Our library consisted of our memory, the regulation guide-books, Hare´s excellent "Walks in London," Dean Stanley´s charming "Westminster Abbey," and Green´s Short History of the English People." Yielding, of course "very reluctantly," to the expressed wishes of friends, the letters now venture forth tremblingly to the public view on the pages of this little volume.
