Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey Around the World No one, however intelligent, could begin to tell the story of the countries and people referred to in this volume. This book sets forth the impressions made upon the author by the glimpses obtained in a journey around the world, and it must be remembered that im pressions can honestly differ among truthful, observing, studious travelers. This diary was written at the request of a loved one who was unable to accompany me, and with whom I thus hoped, in a small degree, to share my daily experiences, but with no thought of publication. Its publication is due far more to the encouraging suggestions of friends, than from any confident promptings of my own. The author claims no qualifications whatsoever as a writer, but endeavored at all times to keep his mind free from prejudices, and alert to everything about him, and espe cially endeavored to see the good in all things, but frank in his statements of facts as observed and noted herein. It was not, however, until we were bound for the Orient and had reached strange lands, inhabited by strange people, with strange customs, that I was aroused to any serious effort in the writing of a daily narrative in which I endeavored to reflect the conditions surrounding the writer, for examme: India, depressing; China, smiles; Korea, tragic; Japan, attractive but imperialistic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey With the Sun Around the World Time flies fast; much faster than we imagine until it has gone. We look down the pathway of the years over which we have traveled and are surprised to find how close together are the periods of childhood, boyhood, manhood and more mature years. I realized this when the silver jubilee of my priesthood dawned bright and beautiful on July 21, 1897. I will not stop to describe the tender greeting of the children of the parish, as with music, song and speech they tendered their good wishes. It was an event in their lives as well as in my own. and long will I treasure the remembrance of the little ones of the flock. The people of the parish, as after events unfolded, had quietly prepared a great surprise. I discovered this as with the bodyguard 1 entered the crowded church on the eve of my sacerdotal anniversary. The transformation which took place after the morning Mass of that day to the scene that opened to my view brought to mind the wonders related of Aladdin's magic lamp. On the spacious stage, covered with plants and flowers, were many of the tried and true veterans of the parish, a number of non-Catholic neighbors and more than a score of clerical friends. The hand-clapping and applause with which I was received was startling, being unexpected in the church, even though the Blessed Sacrament had been removed. The excellent literary and musical program was a credit and a crown to the entertainment provided by the Executive Committee.

At the request of many who read them, I have endeavored to put them in more compact and attractive form. I have made no pretense of literary excellence, or of a deep insight into the history, religion, nature, or habits of the people of the countries through which I have traveled. It would take years of observa tion and study to attain to that, and volumes to record the results. I have endeavored to give only a very imperfect pen-and-ink sketch of what I saw, heard, and felt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Working My Way Around the World After spending some sixteen years in schools and colleges, I decided, one spring, to take a year off and make a trip around the world. I had no money for such a journey; but that did n't matter for I meant to work my way from place to place. I spoke F rench and German, and had some knowledge of Spanish and Italian. I believed that if I had to work among the people of foreign countries I would learn more of them and of their languages than in any other way. So I was not sorry that I had to start my journey with only my camera and one hundred and four dollars for films.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of My Journey Round the World It needs some apology to add one more book to the library already published about journeys round the world; and could I not plead the excuse of having been persuaded to stray from the commendable paths of 'masterly inactivity, ' it certainly would have never been written. But this is not intended to be a volume of thrilling adventures or of tales profusely drawing upon the imagination; it is rather a volume of fact, briefly describing things as they exist, and its aim (if not too great a presumption) is to hint at just so much information as may entice the reader into following up any fancy in some larger work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the World: Including a Residence in Victoria and a Journey by Rail Across North America When his health had become re-established, he was directed to return home about the beginning of the pres ent year, and he decided to make the return voyage by the Pacific route, m'd Honolulu and San Francisco, and from thence to proceed by railway across the Rocky Mountains to New York. While at sea the boy kept a full log, intended for the perusal of his relatives at home, and while on land he corresponded with them regularly and fully, never miss ing a mail. He had not the remotest idea that any thing which he saw and described during his absence would ever appear in a book. But since his return it has oc curred to the Editor of these pages that the information they contain will probably be found of interest to a wider circle of readers than that to which the letters were originally addressed, and in that belief the sub stance of them is here reproduced, the Editor's work having consisted mainly in arranging the materials, leav ing the writer to tell his own story as much as possible in his own way, and in his own words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Vagabond Journey, Around the World: A Narrative of Personal Experience, Illustrated With More Than One Hundred Photographs With all due respect to bank accounts, I Observed, I believe a man with a bit of energy and good health could start without money and make a journey around the globe. Laughter assailed the suggestion; yet as time rolled on I found myself often musing over that hastily conceived notion. Travel for pleasure has ever been considered a special privilege of the wealthy. That a man without ample funds should turn tourist seems to his fellow-beings an action little less reprehensible than an attempt to finance a corporation on worthless paper. He who would see the world, and has not been provided the means thereto by a considerate ancestor, should sit close at home until his life work is done, his fortune made. Then let him travel; when his eyes have grown too dim to catch the beauty of a distant landscape, when struggle and experience have rendered him blase and unimpressionable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from All the Way Round, the Story of a Fourteen Months Trip, Around the World The lure of the Orient was upon us. India and the Far East were our objective points. But we knew that the Europe of today is not the Europe of yesterday, and as my husband's war work had not permitted him to see much of it while there, and as I had remained at home, we decided not to let the opportunity go by without visiting some of the famous places. During his long years of service as Mayor of Chicago Mr. Harrison's one relaxation was found in his fondness for art. Almost all of his spare moments when in Chi cago are spent at 'the Art Institute, and he had a long ing to visit again the famous galleries of Europe. This decided us. So one day we gathered our little clan children and grandchildren about us, had a royal feast and gaily bade them an revoir! We sailed from New York on a French liner - a slow voyage of ten days which we greatly enjoyed landing in Havre toward the end of May. We had had a beautiful sea voyage, felt in fine feather and made our first stop at Rouen, en route to Paris.
