A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Présentation de l'éditeur

United States of America and Canada, accomplished in the brief space of eighty days, travelling at the daily rate of some hundred and forty miles. .I nsuch a rapid run over a country of such vast dimentions from Canada to California only the surface of the country, and of the people and their ways, could possibly be seen or described. What we saw and heard in this cursory way, and the first impressions made thereby, are here reproduced, in response to many assurances that the story of our adventures would possess a personal interest in friendly eyes, and yield, to those within our circle, a portion of the pleasure we have experienced in thus preserving the recollections of what was to us a rare, an instructive, and a happy holiday.
