Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Trip to Europe N a beautiful evening in the early part of June our trip to Europe began. Sitting in one of the luxurious parlor cars of a New York express, we at last enjoyed a few quiet moments after the preceding days of bustle and ex citement. When the porter, after busying around, even placed a velvet cushion under my feet I was wishing that travel on the other side was as con venient, but I knew it was not. No place like America for travelling. The sun took a last peek a-boo look at us from the distant hill tops when we neared New York. Philadelphia is considered slow in comparison with New York but one of the first things we saw on arriving, was a horse-car plough ing along the street.

It seemed that all who were not soldiers wanted to sell something to the passengers. The Moors went about trying to sell funny-looking copper coins. I bought a dozen fresh eggs from a Turk in regal costume for eight pence - 16 cents. Without hearing a joke, and even without seeing any prominent noses amongst us, he said, I'm a Yahuda this being proba bly a trick of his trade - to be of any relig ion the occasion might warrant. I bought a money-pouch from an African. Very small donkeys do all the hauling of very big loads strapped on either side of them in huge baskets. Many Spanish women run about here, some quite pretty, but wearing neither shoes, stockings, nor hats. Altogether, we spent a few pleasant hours looking at a queer, pretty little City, and a very funny, mixed-up lot of people. We said: Good-bye, Gibraltar.

Many of these are included in every well planned European tour, but some are not, and take my word for it and be not afraid to turn aside sometimes from the beaten track, for in the odd corners of the earth are often found its greatest beauties.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses by Sea and Land: During a Six Months' Trip to Europe Whilst giving "the desire expressed by many of the writer's friends" - to have the fragmentary letters contained in this little volume thus collected and published, as the inducement for so doing - sounds rather hackneyed, yet, being no more trite than true, in the absence of any better reason, it may be allowed to pass. And in truth it may be added, that but for this, they would not at any time have come before the public. These extracts are the same, with very little exception, that appeared in The Friend in the First month of 1863. But they were carefully read over before reprinting on account of many typographical errors, which, owing to absence from home, the writer missed the opportunity of correcting at the time it ought to have been done; also, for the purpose of re-adjusting some awkwardly expressed paragraphs, which in the too hasty preparation for the press, were mutilated in making partial omissions.

I intended, before sailing, to go to the country with my family for a few days. Accordingly, we left Broad Street Station on the morning of the sth of July, at nine o'clock, for Stroudsburg. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the ride very much We arrived at Stroudsburg about noon. Mr. Dickerson met us at the station and drove us to the Inn. After having made us comfortable in our rooms, he announced to us that luncheon would be served at There were very few people staying there, so it seemed rather dismal, but as we were hungry we managed to eat as only hungry people can after traveling half a day. There was little or nothing to do there so Mrs. B. And I decided to leave on the following afternoon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip to Europe: Being Some Account of the Wanderings of a Small Family Party To my husband, children and grandchildren, I dedicate this little work. It is written without desire for self-seeking, and certainly not intended for the public eye. The preparation of the notes which follow has been a labor of love with me - such a labor because I have hoped that, in living with me over again scenes and incidents which are cherished by me, those who are nearest and dearest might also find interest and pleasure. For a long time prior to its fruition the trip, of which I am about to write, had been a matter of discussion in the family circle. My husband had been to Europe two years before, leaving me in charge of our affairs, and feeling better satisfied with doing so than for both to be absent from home and country at the same time. To us, who had not been to Europe, it seemed a great undertaking and a dangerous one - he felt thus (he has since crossed the ocean four times), and so I felt. It required consideration as well as courage to leave husband, home, children and an aged mother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Weeks in Europe: The Vacation of a Busy Man Having made up his mind to do it, the author naturally sought a motive which would excuse him to himself. This is the motive: A great many people overestimate the amount of time, money and preliminary preparation required for a trip abroad. A timid few are deterred by the over drawn terrors of possible seasickness. But, to quote the boy who played hookey, what's five minutes' licking to five hours' fun? Most books of travel state that you should give three months to Florence, for example, but map out a three weeks' program in that city, in case you are 'in a hurry. Such works are valuable to the student but they slam the door in the face of the man Of business who is fortunate to have three weeks in which to see the whole of Italy. Our country is filled with busy men who appreciate the advantages and pleasures of travel but are kept at home by its fancied difficulties. To such, this book is offered as a proof of what can be done in a six weeks' vacation, nineteen days of which were spent on the ocean. If it opens the slammed door to that class of toilers and reopens it to the author, he will be satisfied. A glance at our itinerary will show how small Europe really is and how much of it can be covered in a short time by energetic travelers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe in a Hurry After six years of incessant editorial labor, I found my self, on the 14th day of May, on the bosom of the Atlantic, in one of the Cunard steamers, seeking a temporary repose in the half leisure of a travel, Which is intended to be divided between my own enjoyment and service to my readers. I feel that I am entitled to this semi-holiday. My tasks have not only been unremitting, but severe and ardu ous, and without vanity, I think I can refer such of my read ers as may feel disposed to grumble at my temporary absence, to a list of services to the public and to them, Which should accredit me to a very liberal vacation. I am in hopes, however, to give full compensation for my privilege of excursion, by the arrangements Which Ishall make for their benefit; and in the observations Which I shall be able to transmit to them, as soon as I settle again into a writing trim. At present I hardly feel I am so and Will therefore content myself With such few preliminary features of my journey, as will serve the purpose of a prologue to succeed ing letters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Afterglow of European Travel Sitting here in the seclusion of my own home library, and taking a retrospective view of that, to us, memorable tour from New York to Pompeii, I do not know as I can recall any land which afforded me more unqualified enjoy ment than that of which Edinburgh is the capital. A com bination of circumstances combined to produce this result. It was the first earth we trod after a dreary, rainy voyage. It was a land rich in legend, history, and song, interwoven with my earliest thought of the Old World. It was the birthplace of men whose names were household words from childhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways of Europe This is probably the last volume of travels which I shall ever publish. It closes a series of personal and literary experiences which cannot be renewed, and which I have no belief will be extended. Now, therefore, all that I have done as a traveller detaches itself from my other labors, lies clear behind me as a life by itself, and may be considered with a degree of self-criticism which was scarcely possible while it lay nearer. The brief review which I desire to make, must necessarily be autobiograph ical in its character, and I am aware that this is question able ground. But as I have been specially styled, for so many years and little to my own satisfaction, a traveller or a tourist, and in either character have received praise and blame, equally founded on a misconception of the facts and hopes of my life, I claim the privilege, this once, to set the truth before those who may care to hear it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Visit Europe, on Next to Nothing: With Memoranda of Actual, Expenses, Coinage Tables, Etc Most people want to go to Europe, I amongst the number. But almost everybody seems to think that a European tour is necessarily expensive. Of course it may be so; but I have faith that with common sense, some knowledge, and a minimum supply of dollars, a splendid vacation of eight weeks in length, or more, may be enjoyed upon the other side at a very small cost indeed. I am now going to prove this to unbelieving friends and intend to set out with three hundred dollars in my pocket and a stern resolution not to exceed this amount by one cent. I have talked my scheme over with Comrade, who, dazzled by my mention of continental resorts, Paris, London and a score or more other places has agreed to accompany me.

You are waited on at your hotel by polished crooks who in some unaccountable way know your name, residence, occupation and destination, and worse yet, are able to name your intimate friends, are profuse with offers to aid you in countless ways, all of which, however tempting they may appear, you can afford promptly to decline. The inexperienced traveller should confine his wishes and money only to reliable companies, the experienced ones need not this suggestion.
