Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Abroad A few miles from the former place, we passed a picturesque gorge, which forms the present frontier between France and Italy. Characteristic differences soon appear, not in the country, as I have said, but in the prevalence of the Italian language in the notices on the walls and the names of the shops. The French authorities are doing all they can to banish the Italian from the annexed provinces. They will allow the celperz'ezcm, for instance, a license to sell Protestant bibles in French, but not in Italian.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 I was aware that our stayers-at-home had already something too much of churches, statues, and pic tures, and yet that they cannot well imagine how much they make up the existence of tourists in the Old World. I have sedulously avoided this rock, and must trust for any little interest my book may possess to the honesty with which I have recorded my impressions, and to the fresh aspect of familiar things to the eye of a denizen of the New World. The fragmentary state in which my letters appear is owing to my fear of wearying readers less interested than my own family by prolonged details or prosing re ections, or disgusting them with the egotism of personal experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 2 of 2 WE have crossed the Alps, my dear C., and are in Italy, but not quite so easily as I write it. The weather is as much a matter of speculation to those who are about to make a pass of the Alps as if they were going to sea. This morning at three I was looking out from my window, and found it perfectly clear. My Old familiar friends were shining down on the valley of Lanslebourg, Orion on his throne, and Jupiter glittering over one of the mountain pinnacles. Now, thought I, we are sure of a fine day. But when Francois came round to our doors with his customary reveille, Gate cope, (francois always speaks English in the hearing of the natives l) the sky was overcast. We were early astir, which, though both healthful and good husbandry, is only the virtue of necessity with us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Budget of Letters, or Things Which I Saw Abroad Here we lay at anchor, the wind being ahead, and how long we shall have to stay is more than we can tell. We had an opportunity this afternoon to go up to the city with the captain, but we preferred to stay on board ship, that we may begin to feel at home before we get out to sea, for as you may well imagine every thing is strange to us. As we stepped on board this morning, our ears were saluted with sounds that seemed more appropriate to a farm-yard than a ship. We turned suddenly and saw a meek, innocent look ing cow, apparently as much out of her element as we were; and that she might have somewhat to remind her of her country home, sundry pigs were squealing near by, which sounds, ever and anon, were relieved by the noisy geese, the gobbling turkey, the cackling hen, and the quacking duck. From the appearance of this live stock, we judge that we shall want for none of the good things of this life, and with all this preparation for the body, the mind is not neglected.

In fact, the new traveller gets hold Of the idea that there is no other sort, most Of it being SO unripe, tasteless, tough, and stringy; but SO soon as he gets into this California country, he finds he has been imposed upon; for in point Of ripeness, blush, and flavor, the fruit Of this ocean-bordered State has no known peer. I am glad to know this, having said some pretty mean things about California fruit, and having heard many others do the same. But it is not entirely our fault. TO win the market, Californians send out unripe, stringy, wilted stuff, because the ripened crop could not stand the Ship ping; Or if sent out ripe it gets SO over-refrigerated that the taste is much impaired. N 0, you must go to Rome to see the Pope; you must come to California to enjoy California fruit. NO other country gives you choice strawberries nine months in the year, and on no other tables will you find the strawberry, raspberry, and blackberry Side by Side for months and months together. Iowa strawberries come with May and go with June. Those Of California come with March and stay till December.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to the Evening Post Written at Home and Abroad, Vol. 1: 1869 The letters, contained in these two volumes, were published in the New York Evening Post in 1869 and 1870. Those in the first volume were written in Europe and those in the second after the author's return. The printing of them by his daughter has been indeed a labor of love, done with the knowledge that the book would be cherished by the family and inner friends of the author. These letters, off-hand and often times abrupt, were virtually the diary of a seven months' vacation. A journey begun in much weariness of body and spirit, after the struggle of life, faith, and work had been most bitter, but which brought with it an invigorating contact with great minds and the sustaining influence of a great faith.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tennessean Abroad, or Letters From Europe, Africa, and Asia The increased facilities for locomotion and the recognised brotherhood of nations have brought the advantages of travel within the reach of many to whom they were for merly denied. Thousands are every year availing them selves of this pleasantest method of gaining correct ideas of the men and 4 manners of the time, and visiting for themselves the classic spots which have for so many ages inspired the soul of the poet, and guided the pen cil of the painter. In this pilgrimage to the shrines of the Beautiful and the haunts of the Romantic, America has not been without her representatives. There is' scarcely a spot in the Old World that gems the page of history or lives in the poet's song, where the foot of our countryman has not pressed. Some travel from curiosity, others to gain knowledge, While not a few like the birdling of Jenny Lind, go, not knowing why.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to the Evening Post Written at Home and Abroad 1869- I find that my oh-hand letters to the Evening Post, on the out-look in Europe, have raised more interest than I ventured to anticipate and have, moreover, led friends and readers to ask some ques tions that may, perhaps, be properly answered in these columns. The first question turns on money matters, or, how much does it cost to see Europe; to live there in a comfortable way? I am no expert in foreign travel, and ought to speak with great modesty, yet the very fact that I am such a novice may bring me nearer to the mass of readers, and en able me to understand their ignorance, and to meet them on the level of their curiosity.
