A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The kind reception accorded to a short series of newspaper letters of mine, describing a portion of the tour to which this volume relates, leading me to infer that a comprehensive narrative might meet with favor, it is now presented, with the hope that I am not counting unduly on the forbearance of the public. I am fully sensible of the difficulty of giving interest to the relation of what has already been told a thousand times. To obviate this difficulty to some extent, I have endeavored to view the scenes I have to describe from a standpoint and in a manner diflferent from what has been usually chosen. I have looked at them a-slant and a-squint, and out of the corner of my eye, as it were. This may have given my pictures sometimes an appearance of distortion. The distortion is only apparent, however, and the reader may assure himself that what I describe is presented faithfully as I saw it. Where I have been compelled to make statements which it was out of my power to verify for myself, I have resorted to the best authorities. Whatever information, therefore, is to be gathered from the book may be relied upon as accurate. But my chief dependence for conferring novelty and interest upon the work has been by making it a personal narrative. To relate the incidents of travel and to describe men and manners rather than things, has been my object. The book, therefore, necessarily contains much about myself individually, and it has much besides about myself that is not necessary, but which is, I trust, not offensively obtruded.
