Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loiterings of Travel, Vol. 1 of 3 If you could manage, O most amiable reader! to forget that this is "a book" - call it a rummage of a portfolio-pocket - a chat with a traveller - wile-time in a calm at sea - pick-brains over a bottle! Of all the "five gates of the soul," the eye is so much the most difficult to enter. These be the stories I have told over inn fires - just as I told them.I would have you fill up, and make allowance, as fellow-travellers do - no criticism, but "How very odd!" "Quite a romance!" "Singular thing to happen now-a-days!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits of Travel, or Tales of Men and Cities, Vol. 1 of 2 Airman of what is intended to be (like the present volumes) light reading, are sometimes temptel to make prefatory acknowledgments that illness and other de pressing circumstances have attended the progress of their work. I doubt the policy of this plan either in propitiating the critic or in interesting the public. It is very questionable whether the state of mind or body in uences the pen when it is able to move at all. Many a farce has been composed 'in moods of hypochondria, and the deepest tragedies have often been the produc tions of the merriest fellows. But even admitting the contrary of my theorems, the captions reader is too fond of his privilege of finding faults, to receive a warn ing that he is to meet with them at every turn; while the most tolerant must be prejudiced against an c 'ort to amuse, prefaced by a desponding face or a suit of mourning. The better way is, surely, to let readers be cheerful and contented while they may. On this prin ciple, I hope mine will believe that the following pages were written in high health, high fortune, and spirits. With a friendly few, who may find reason to imagine the contrary, I have little fear of its doing any mischief.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Souvenirs of Travel, Vol. 1 Some of her letters to her friends, written during the hurry of travel, were yet so graphic and attractive that they were given to the press; and being reproduced all through the country, excited an almost universal desire for the publication of a full account of her travels. Those friends who were admitted to her intimacies at home, he came aware what a rich mine of pleasing information, and interesting adventure, existed in the various memoranda she had made while in Europe. Their solicitations, and reiterated persuasions from literary friends in all parts of the Union, led to the preparation of this volume. The original journals and letters have been carefully revised by their author, additional memorials have been added, and many parts that in the original form necessarily partook largely of the personal and egotistic, have been omitted.

They. Slide over the smooth sward of national virtues, without re mark; but cannot see a pebble on their path without making it a stumbling block. They prefer what is Singular and striking to that which is general and passive. They find the former in national defects, for these, like indi' vidual failings, stand out in full relief. They are the beaked promontories, against which most voyagers are afraid of striking, which they describe with a Shudder, and fly from without examining. But each jutting rock is furnished with its beacon, not only to warn the stranger of peril, but to light him to safety in many a verdant recess. In the French revolution, for instance, the most marked objects, view it from what point we will, are its crimes. But if we boldly enter on the scenes of their commission, how much redeeming softness, what a fund of downy virtues may the mind repose on, to save.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel, Adventure, and Sport, Vol. 1: From 'Blackwood's Magazine' One hint must especially be regarded, which was, to take care, on arrival at the lake, that I did not enter the village of a certain sultan called Mahaya, to whose district Muanza, at the southern extremity of the lake, they directed me to go. This precautionary warning was advanced in consequence of a trick the Sultan had played an Arab, who, after visiting him in a friendly way, was forcibly detained until he paid a ransom for himself; an unjust measure, which the Arabs pointedly advert to as destructive to commercial interests. To lose no time whilst the kirangozi was away - for I had a long business to do in a very short space of time - I intimated to the Shaykh, our Ras-cafila, and the Belooch guards, my intention of taking them with me to the lake, and ordered them to prepare for the journey by a certain date. The Shaykh demurred, saying he would give a definite answer about accompanying me before the time of starting, but subsequently refused (I hear, as one reason), because he did not consider me his chief. I urged that it was as much his duty as mine to go there; and said, unless he changed his present resolution, I should certainly recommend the Government not to pay the gratuity which the consul had promised him on condition that he worked entirely to our satisfaction, in assisting the expedition to carry out the Government's plans.

Contrariwise, the proposition we have sent out, has been most kindly received, and cheering words have-come back to us from nearly every portion of the State, while many sections seem to be all astir with clubs and clubbing. Few publications have made their debut under more favorable auspices.
