Présentation de l'éditeur
No one better than the writer knows how ephemeral are these pages. No one better than he knows that they are not literature because they are bound in boards. They are merely newspaper jottings of travel during some pleasant months abroad. Their only right to be is the desire which many readers have expressed to obtain them in permanent form. To that desire the writer has yielded. A word of explanation and apology may not be amiss here. These sketches were written in the little leisure that travel affords sometimes on a steamer, often on a train. Therefore profound and matured thought may scarcely be looked for in them. They were orally dictated, hence their familiar and colloquial tone. They were written with no library at hand, and if the writers memory has failed him at times, pray let the reader pardon him.
