Description
Excerpt from A Summer in Europe
In the accompanying letters I have endeavored to give an honest and unprejudiced description of sights and scenes abroad, avoiding in a measure the stereotyped praise heaped upon everything foreign. My observations have mostly been confined to the people, their habits and modes of living.
The four months spent in the Old World were rich in instruction and full of enjoyment, but I feel that a hasty glance was too often given where there should have been careful study.
A most fortunate train of circumstances combined to render the trip a success. My companion and myself were blessed with the traveler's best capital, - good health, good weather, and good spirits.
