Book Description

Excerpt from Glimpses by Sea and Land: During a Six Months' Trip to Europe Whilst giving "the desire expressed by many of the writer's friends" - to have the fragmentary letters contained in this little volume thus collected and published, as the inducement for so doing - sounds rather hackneyed, yet, being no more trite than true, in the absence of any better reason, it may be allowed to pass. And in truth it may be added, that but for this, they would not at any time have come before the public. These extracts are the same, with very little exception, that appeared in The Friend in the First month of 1863. But they were carefully read over before reprinting on account of many typographical errors, which, owing to absence from home, the writer missed the opportunity of correcting at the time it ought to have been done; also, for the purpose of re-adjusting some awkwardly expressed paragraphs, which in the too hasty preparation for the press, were mutilated in making partial omissions.
