Présentation de l'éditeur
The work has proved a solace to her in distress; and it has been carried out in a way that must, I think, approve itself to all my brothers friends. It is the record of a happy life happy from good health and a joyous temperament, and from the surroundings of both his private and public life, throughout which he enjoyed complete freedom of action, together with the opportunity of much public usefulness. With regard to the form of the book, I may mention that it was originally intended to draw up only a brief memoir of a life that was very dear to us, to preserve as far as might be the features of a character which we regarded with affectionate pride. This plan would have included only a collected reprint of articles, lectures, and speeches already published by him, and would have been intended for only a limited circle of private friends. But as the materials came to be opened out, so much was found that was both new and interesting, that we determined to alter the original plan, and to make the present memoir consist mostly of fresh matter, only reproducing some striking passages from what has been already published. My brother had, even from boyhood, been in the habit of keeping elaborate journals when on the travels which occupied so large a portion of his time. These journals, neatly written in a series of large note-books, not only contained facts, figures, and descriptions, but also the reflections suggested by what he saw, and the mature conclusions drawn from his experience of other countries.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
