A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The pages that follow should best account for themselves, of course, but for the satisfaction of those who very properly require some general conception of a project before definitely entering upon it, the author begs to say that he has here sought to visualize to the reader the appearance and the life of these cities at the hours indicated, and to preserve, as well, the distinctive atmosphere of each. He has endeavored to catch and present faithful impressions of the streets, their kaleidoscopic animation, and the activities and characteristics of the people; to touch the pen-pictures with a light overwash of the racial and national peculiarities that distinguish each, and to invest them with what insight, sympathy, and enthusiasm he is capable of. It is fitting the scene with the apposite phrase, as Mr. Ho wells has so aptly described the process and as he himself has so wonderfully exemplified it. A formidable undertaking? I ndeed, yes; but there is the dictum of Mr. Browning that the purpose swells the account. These, then, are impressionistic sketches. They are of the moment only. It has been sought, most of all, to give them just that character.
