Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The author has no apology to make for placing this book before the public. The subjects with which it deals have, it is true, been treated by much more able pens than my own; but I hope and believe that some things will be found in the following pages that will both entertain and instruct the reader. I prefer, however, that the book shall either commend or damn itself That it is freighted with imperfections, I am as fully aware as the most careful reader can be, but I trust that no part of the narrative is inaccurate. I have endeavored to tell the story of my tour of the world in plain language, with no attempt at embellishment, rhetorical or otherwise. The letters first appeared in the columns of the Bucyrus Forum, and, as their dates indicate, were written mainly amid the scenes to which they relate. Of course, little opportunity was had for leisurely and studied writing. They have been revised, not so much with the view of making material alterations, as for the purpose of correcting slight errors of statement that resulted from hurried preparation and the absence of opportunities for examining frequently necessary references.
(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
