Book excerpt: Excerpt from Over the Ocean: Or Sights and Scenes in Foreign Lands The following pages are the record of the fruition of years of desire and anticipation; probably the same that fills the hearts of many who will read them - a tour in Europe. The habits of observation, acquired by many years' constant occupation as a journalist, were found by the author to have become almost second nature, even when the duties of that profession were thrown aside for simple gratification and enjoyment; consequently, during a journey of nearly seven months, which was enjoyed with all the zest of a first tour, the matter which composes this volume was prepared. Its original form was in a series of sketches in the columns of the Boston Commercial Bulletin. In these the writer attempted to give as vivid and exact an idea of the sights and scenes which he witnessed as could be conveyed to those who had never visited Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Thoughts in Europe Certain classes of books are such favorites, that nearly the Whole responsibility of publishing them should be borne by the public. The eagerness with which they are read is a premium on their production. The traveller in foreign lands finds the privacy of his letters and journal encroached Upon While writing them, by the thought that they may be turned into Copy for the printer. To so many others has this happened, that the possibility of its happening to himself cannot be kept out of his mind, spotting, it may be, the candor of his statements.

Who can describe the novelty of the situation or picture the shifting scenes of the highly colored panorama! All within bustling and busy; all without unchangeable and tireless. Our steward says the sea is so smooth that he scarcely knows the ship is moving. But far other wise does it seem to me. We started out on one of the most glorious mornings I have ever known; the sun shining in its strength, the ocean a sapphire sea covered with a thousand snowy crests, laugh ing and leaping with delight. Now up, now down, our good ship rears and plunges, a splendid witness to the skill of man and the overruling Hand of God. We have one hundred and eighty-four saloon passengers, and with the sailors, waiters, officers, &c., I judge we do not carry more than two hun dred and fifty souls. We have spent the entire day on deck and taken a good deal of exercise, so that by this time (9 P. M.) everyone is pretty well played out, and all seem to be lounging around in durance vile, as the evening hours wear away.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Over the Ocean - or, Sights and Scenes in Foreign Lands: Look inside the book: The great banking-house of Baring Brothers & Co., whose correspondents and connections are in every part of the world,—whose superscriptions I used to direct in a big, round hand, upon thin envelopes, when I was a boy in a merchant's counting-room, and whose name is as familiar in business mouths as household words,—it would be supposed would be found occupying a structure for their banking-house like some of the palatial edifices on Broadway, or the solid granite buildings of State Street, where you may imagine that you could find out about everything you wished to know about London; what the sights were to see; which was the best hotel for Americans; what you ought to pay for things; how to get to Windsor Castle, or the Tower, &c. ...The latter are civil enough, but, as previously mentioned, they do 'business,' and on the rigid English plan; they will cash your check less commission, answer a question, or send a ticket-porter to show you the way out into Lombard Street, or, perhaps, if you send your card in to the managing partner's room, he will admit you, and will pause, pen in hand, from his writing, to bid you good morning, and wait to know what you have to say; that is, if you have no other introduction to him or his house than a thousand or two pounds to your credit in their hands, which you intend drawing out on your letter of credit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Southern Scenes The desire to travel is almost universal, - to visit new scenes and meet people differing in appearance and customs from those encountered in every-day life. The present rapid and luxurious system of traveling, contrasted with the slow and comfortless facilities of other days, has developed an irresistible longing to see for one's self the wonders and beauties of other climes. Those who for various reasons are debarred from the indulgence of this luxury of travel, read or listen with avidity to de scriptions of the beautiful, grand or marvelous, whether beheld in foreign lands or on the shores of our own'country. Believing that to many of our friends an account of places visited by us would be of inter est, and serve also as a pleasant remembrancer to those who composed our party of tourists, on their.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Months in Foreign Lands When we left for our Mediterranean cruise, January 30, 1905, I had no idea of writing notes or publishing them. However, on the trip we found so many scenes of interest that are very different from what is seen in this country, or the well traveled paths of the ordinary European tourist, that I decided to write some discriptive letters of our journey to my daughter and her husband, Mr. And Mrs. Chas. B. Farish, and to my partner, Mr. Joshua Motter, with whom I have been closely associated in the whole sale dry goods trade for the past thirty years. After our return, I had these letters type-written and gave a few copies to my friends. Many of them said they were interesting and instructive and urged me to have the notes pub lished in book form.

Download or read book Half Hours of Travel at Home and Abroad Classic Reprint written by Charles Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Half-Hours of Travel at Home and Abroad The world is growing very narrow in these late nine teenth century days. In place of the crawling slowness of former travel, the steamship and steam-railway now fairly hurl travellers over the face of the earth, while by aid of the far-extending wire we are able to talk freely with our neighbors of the antipodes. From Dan to Beersheba has now become from New York to New South Wales, or from Chicago to bong-kong. And yet this growing neighborliness does not decrease, but rather re doubles, our interest in the scenes and people of foreign lands. Nature retains her variety, nor is man's unity much increased by his growing propinquity. Tropic and Arctic lands are as far apart in condition as ever; Europe differs from Asia, America from Africa, as greatly as of yore; man still presents every grade of development, from the lowest savagery to the highest civilization; and our interest in the marvels of nature and art, the variety of plant and animal life, and the widely varied habits and conditions, modes of thought and action, of mankind, is not likely soon to lose its zest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated From Designs by Hammatt Billings If there be characters and scenes that seem drawn with too bright a pencil, the reader will consider that, after all, there are many worse sins than a disposition to think and speak well of one's neighbors. To admire and to love may now and then be tolerated, as a variety, as well as to carp and criticize. America and England have heretofore abounded towards each other in illiberal criticisms. There is not an unfavorable aspect of things in the old world which has not become perfectly familiar to us; and a little of the other side may have a useful influence.
