Because of the first part of this statement of the great authority I may venture to place this book before the public. There may be nothing to chew and digest, possibly nothing to swallow; but I believe there is something to taste. During a two years' tour of the world, completed a few months ago, I wrote a series of letters for The Providence Daily Journal. At the suggestion of its accomplished editor, Mr. G. W. Danielson, I made these letters a record prominently of personal sight-seeing and experiences. This book contains not only that series of letters somewhat altered, but many additions both from my notebooks and from another series of letters I contributed for a Cincinnati paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the World: Letters From Japan, China, India, and Egypt I was not ordered abroad by the doctors, but started in perfect health, which I retained through all the vicissitudes of climate, and was so fortunate as not to meet with any serious mishap to mar the pleasure of the journey. Only once, during that eventful night of the typhoon on the Chinese coast, did I question my prudence in being there, without the excuse of ill-health or busi ness. My motive was not merely the pursuit of pleasure, but the desire to gratify a long-cherished passion to see once in my lifetime the strange and curious nations of the Orient, books of travel among whom have always had for me a strange fascination. In these sketches I have confined my descriptions, in a great measure, to what passed under my own observation; and have endeavored to paint the curious and novel scenes in Japan, China, and India, as they appeared to a fresh traveler, without any attempt at fine writing, or high- own description. The unexpected courtesy and kindness everywhere met from both foreigners and natives, and the many chance acquaintances which have ripened into friendships that will endure for a lifetime, are among the pleasantest souvenirs of my journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the World, Vol. 1: A Series of Letters; Europe and America We have printed these letters just as they were. In a few of them there will be found some repetitions. This was inevitable, for they were written for papers published widely apart, and intended for readers in different sections of the country. But these repetitions are rather a charm than a fault, for they give greater fresh ness and vivacity to the descriptions. Besides, the language is varied, and what is repeated is told in a new way and with additional circum stances. Had we attempted to make any changes, we should have marred the whole; and had we omitted, we would have lost some of the best pages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Trip Around the World: A Series of Letters We are sure that if all the churches in America could have seen what we saw - the many large churches, and so intensely alive to the interests of the kingdom of our com mon Lord, they could not help but thank God and take courage. It appeared to us that the churches of Australia have, for their years and opportunities, gone beyond what their brethren elsewhere have done. With many fears and some hopes, we venture to send forth these letters to the churches, hoping that they may prove to be at least one link in a golden chain of Christian love and w'orld-wide sympathy, that shall help to bind them all together. We pray that a rich blessing from the great Lord of the harvest may rest upon them, and cause them to minister to the joys of His people, and the salvation of men.

It is exactly ten days since I made up my mind, and so far I have not wavered one moment, in spite of, or perhaps because of the manifold oppositions I encountered from all sides. I cannot describe to you the sensation my decision created in this dear old town of Cracow. At first nobody would believe me; they laughed when I spoke of my impending journey, and I could not do otherwise than laugh too: it all seemed so absurd. But when finally they saw that I meant it, oh, ye gods! What an avalanche of reproaches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It is proper to say, to those who were not with me on the trip, that my wife, daughter and I, prefaced the Cleveland cruise with a short visit to London, Paris and the Riviera, which, though intensely interesting, was altogether too hurried. We landed in San Francisco February 1, 1912, where we were entertained in royal fashion by the hustling citizens of that marvelous city, who are making preparations for an exposition in '1915, to celebrate the completion of the Panama canal, by what is asserted will be the greatest spectacle ever witnessed on earth.

So Monadnock came to mean everything that was helpful, healing, and full of quiet, and when I saw him half across New Hampshire he did not fail.

Was written on one of Wedgewood's copying-books with an agate pen.on thick again, and we never saw the coast any more. The weather continued foggy all night, and about 5 o'clock this morning we heard the fog-whistle going, which was not very conducive to sleep. However, soon after breakfast, the sun came out, and the wind began to blow fresh, and we have a glorious bright day. Pvea'nesa'ay, zor/z. - The wind continued fresh all Monday, so much so that, combined with the Atlantic roll, the motion of the ship was not as steady as it had been, and at dinner - time I was conspicuous by my absence from table. It blew pretty hard all night, the sea being highest between 4 and 5 a.m., and when I came on deck about the bows were pretty wet, and I saw one big wave break over and come pouring down the deck. By the way, the performance of turning out and getting on deck necessitated rather a maavaz's quart d'aem'e, and during the day, though the sea moderated a good deal, I was not up to a great amount of running about, or feeding. Harry and George, however, made up for my shortcomings in the saloon, and by the evening my spirits ana' stomach revived, and my appetite began to assume more respectable proportions. It was a jolly, though dark night, and Harry and I could not tear ourselves away from deck, watching the foaming phosphorous till about 1 By the way, it is rather amusing to watch how we lose, or perhaps rather gain time every day, and we have to go and consult the ship's clocks every morning. My watch is now about two hours fast on the time of the sun. This morning was damp and foggy, but it has been clearing a bit gradually, and the wind I think has rather freshened, though it continues pretty steady, and in the same quarter, viz., almost dead ahead. This morning we passed a steamer, the Hartington, quite close, but I have not been able to find out who or what she was. With the exceptionof a sail or two on the horizon, she is the first vessel we have sighted since leaving Queenstown. Our passengers do not seem to improve on acquaint ance; and, with the exception of the Duncans and two or three others, we have not hobnobbed with any of them. Harry and I have just been having a game of pitch farthing, muchly to the edification of a few admiring spectators; and as the coppers necessitated a little soap and water to remove the evil effects, I took advantage of being below to put the style in harness, as writing on deck is not altogether a handy performance; the paper blows about so. Our steward is a very jolly old cock, most obliging and civil. He brings us our caf -aa-lal'z every morning after our bath, as we find we wake up too hungry to wait fasting till breakfast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round the World in Silence A deaf younglady made the remark to me once that it was a waste of time and money for a deaf person to go to Europe, as she could get so little benefit from the trip. I told her that as long as one could see there was a great deal one could absorb and enjoy. Then, when the time and opportunity came for me to take a tour around the world, there happened to be a young man in the party who was totally blind. I was full of sympathy for him, but he, instead of feeling regret, thought the sympathy should be bestowed on me, since I was deaf instead of blind. Cheerfulness is a fine trait, but I could not bear to think of going to India and then not being able to see the glories of the Taj or the pathetic beauty of the Residency, Luck now's memento of the Mutiny. Feeling that I was fully repaid for the months of strenuous life, I have been moved to rewrite and publish the letters I sent home telling of my experiences on the tour as I would like to show others, as well as my deaf brethren and sisters.
