Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tour of Europe Each class of travel, from steerage to first cabin, has its trials and temptations, but every scheme and device that ingenuity begotten of long experience, could suggest, appear to be levelled against the latter class of tourists. 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.

Download or read book A Holiday Tour written by Joel Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Holiday Tour: In Europe When the writer of this collected series of letters started on his Holiday Tour, he had no thought of making a book, or of contributing any materials for a book. It happened, however, he being a trained journalist, with quickened faculty of observation, that, before passing out from the Capes of the Delaware, he had seen along the River and Bay that which he believed to be important to make publicly known in behalf of the material interests of the people of Philadelphia, and so the first letter of the series came to the Public Ledger office through the hands of the pilot. Next from Liverpool came the second letter, describing the voyage on the Ohio, one of the Splendid steamships of the American Line, which ships the writer deemed to be worthy of every medium for more intimate introduction to the American public. Then began the three months of the European part of the Holiday Tour, through England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Rhenish Germany, Switzerland, and back through France, England, and Ireland, the letters prompting themselves as the writer passed along, until they expanded into the series now so familiar to the great constituency of the Public Ledger. The collection and publication of the letters in book-form is the result of influences wholly outside of their author.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Finding the Worth-While in Europe For this reason I have little to say of the great cities which I have found very much like each other and like our own, but I do aim to show the way to some of those places in every land to see which will surely make of the trip a pleasant memory. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of an European Tour The European trip which is described in this little story was the culmination of a lifetime of hopes and anticipations. I realize that impressions of so brief a journey will seem extremely crude and "scrappy," particularly to those who have spent years upon the same ground. I have told the story as it actually occurred, not assuming to know, where I did not know, and endeavoring not to take up space with details and facts to be easily found elsewhere. My husband and myself made up the party "conducted by ourselves," and the experiences are individual. The story was begun as a simple journal of the trip, with no thought of its ever being published in book form. My largest hope for it is that it may inspire some to "see for themselves." Of course, in "seeing for oneself," many things are disappointing, but on the whole there will be added to life that which can be added in no other way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tour in Europe This is now the fourth day at sea; the weather persists in being amiable. If such continues, I shall not behold Neptune in a pet, and I almost wish for a touch of his wrath. Having seen him in good humor now for so long a time, it would be pleasant to have a little change. Already by my exclusiveness I have built up a kind of wall about myself; I have not been un friendly, still I have not been communicative. I walk the deck alone, till my solitary habits have been remarked, and people avoid me, not wish ing to disturb nie. Everybody is getting acquainted and is taking the measure of the rest. There is a good deal of chattering at the table and elsewhere. Two or three men have shown their souls in complete undress before the whole company by their prattle. I often am impelled to exclaim inwardly: Let not thy tongue lay bare thy Holy of Holies to profane View! I feel like turning away from a person who persists in stripping his soul stark naked in public. Itis worse than bodily nudity. Disgusting the thing becomes when are displayed the running sores of the soul, as the beggar revels in showing his paralyzed limbs and physical deformities.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Family Motor Tour Through Europe I am afraid I owe it to nothing but my inborn stubbornness that I did not drop then and there the vexing sport of automobiling. But I perse vered, and by the time I had improved the sparking plugs and the driving gear and was able to make the thing run in what I then thought a tolerable fashion, I found a better car, a steam buggy this time. It looked so easy to handle, so silent, so well behaved at first, that it took me several days to find out that matters were not by any means so perfect as they seemed to be at the demonstration, on the success of which I had placed mv order. Burnt-out boilers, crushed bearings, uncalled-for fireworks from the gasoline tank and other similar peace-disturbing happenings made me return again to the type of internal combustion car, which had become much improved in the meantime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Trip to Europe The author has given, in this book, a delightful account of personal experiences, in a day by day diary of travel through countries that will, alas, never again be seen in their old-time quiet setting. "Our Trip to Europe" is one of the many books that will be of increasing interest as time passes, on account of its description of places and peoples wholly changed by the ravages of the present war. It is only in such books of travel, written before the terrible destruction of the past three years, that will be preserved to the future a record of the quaint and distinctive charm of many old-world towns.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe Viewed Through American Spectacles By those who have visited Europe this volume will be found especially interesting, entertaining, and amusing; to those who intend to visit Europe, the author thinks it will be more valuable than most of the guide-books; and to those who do not expect to make a European tour, it will furnish much practical information that cannot be found in any other volume extant. To the Press of the country generally, which has so largely published fragmentary extracts from this tour of Europe, it is respectfully dedicated, in the hope that it will still further aid in enabling all Americans to see Europe through "American Spectacles." To our friend and fellow-traveler of ante-bellum times, that prince of good fellows, Murat Halstead, Esq., Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, and our excellent friends. Colonel George W. Childs, Editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Hugh J. Hastings, Esq., of the New York Commercial, all of whom have given to their readers such copious extracts, we especially tender our thanks for a generous appreciation of our labors.

Download or read book The Amateur Abroad written by George Washington Tryon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amateur Abroad: The Record of a Summer Tour in Europe Speaking of the Amateur reminds us that we have neither introduced ourself nor explained-our "mission;" - Once-upon-a-time a solitary horseman arrived upon an eminence, and paused to gaze upon the varied - But no; we forgot that this initial chapter, written when half seas over, must be nautical if anything, and that a solitary equestrian could not probably have arrived there; indeed, I doubt whether G. P. R. James could comfortably get a horseman into such a situation, although I will admit, that if the thing were possible James would have done it. Perhaps he has done it; I can only say, from personal knowledge of 299 of his solitary horsemen that none of them ever arrived upon an eminence in the Atlantic Ocean. Well then: - Once-upon a-time the publishers of the "Amateur" appreciating the services rendered by its editorial staff in increasing the value of that interesting paper, (which is, as everybody knowledge the standard authority, and leading periodical of its kind in America, ) graciously gave permission to the said staff to put shekels in their pouches, and wend their united ways, "Foreign countries for to see;" upon the conditions hereunto annexed, namely: 1. That the said staff absent itself not exceeding the term of four calendar months, extending from the date hereof (28th May). 2. That all expenses of way-faring be charged to account of any firm in the music trade, save and except the said publishers of the "Amateur." Under these liberal and sagacious arrangements, the Amateur prepared to travel. First, let me describe the Amateur (personified) to you. He is an exceedingly prepossessing young man, both in appearance and manners, his only fault being his excessive modesty. With the ladies he is very popular, and it was on this account, principally, that he was selected by its worthy publishers, to conduct a paper which numbers among its readers, every lady of taste and refinement in the land. In speaking of the Amateur hereafter, we will designate him simply by an initial capital, whilst the paper which is, as it were, the mere bantling of his mind, will be appropriately indicated by quotation marks. Having given to the editor-in-chief that first position due to his official dignity, politeness requires that the lady-member of our staff, be next presented to our readers. Miss Araminta Squibbs is the accomplished editress of the fashion department of this magazine and is considered prime authority upon the fripperies and appurtenances of feminine costume. We doubt not that our lady readers will anxiously search for her article in the present number and impatiently await its successors. Miss Squibbs knows a French bonnet when she sees it, and is not to be deceived in guipures, or guys either. All ladies have more or less temper, and Miss S. possesses, perhaps rather more than less. She says that the Amateur himself is decidedly headstrong (meaning headwrong?); we will not condescend to refute this accusation; but leave Miss Araminta to speak for herself hereafter, and our readers to judge between us. Our third associate, Junius, has long sat at the receipt of customs, where his beaming countenance and elegant signature have proved ir-resistable in attracting feminine subscribers to the "Amateur." Junius is principally connected with the business interests of our journal; still, he can write forcibly on occasions. He expressly disclaims, now and forever, the authorship of the celebrated letters which falsely bear his name, and further declares that he has never disputed Mark Twain's claim to the said authorship. Having thus introduced our dramatis personae, we will resume our narrative at that critical period, when literary high-art required this retrospective digression. Steamer life is dull and monotonous. At first the appearance of a sail in the offing."
