Présentation de l'éditeur
For years, it had been my cherished idea to make the circuit of the Globe, and to see the strange peoples and strange sights of other lands. I had long been promised the tour, to commence so soon as I had acquired my profession. This being accomplished, I started out on 10th May, 1879. To my delight, a few months afterwards I meta friend atP aris, France, who decided to accompany me for the whole journey. Our pleasure was enhanced by the fact that my friend and I were of the same profession, and had similar tastes in the way of keen relish for adventure and sight-seeing. In writing about different nations, their religions and their customs, I have endeavoured to speak with tolerance and without prejudice, to give them credit for what was really worthy of it, and to condemn what appeared to be clothed in bigotry and humbug.
