Letters From the Old World, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Letters From the Old World, Vol. 1 of 2 In the order of time, the following letters ought properly to be entitled the second series; but it was supposed that their publication as the first would gratify many readers who had followed the progress of the author, so far as it was described in the letters communicated to the journal above named, and who would naturally wish for the continuation while to others it could make no difference whether they first took up the author's earlier or later journeys. The publishers confidently anticipate for the letters in their present form a reception from the public not less cor. Dial than that which was bestowed upon a portion of them when they appeared weekly in the columns of a newspaper.

Letters From America, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Letters From America, Vol. 1 of 2 It must be confessed that the tone of most of our English travellers in America is at least unfortunate. While the subjects and the styles are varied according to the opinions and pursuits of the authors, while we have grave books and gay books, books political, statistical, agricultural, and abolitionist, - books by Whigs and by Tories, by men and by women, - books differing, in short, in almost every conceivable way, we find but one characteristic common to all, and that is satire. We complain in England of the bad feeling that exists in America towards us: if such be the case, can we be surprised at it? The great mass of Americans know us only through the medium of our popular authors; and the observations of these upon America are not, we must allow, of a nature to conciliate a sensitive and irritable people.

Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 I was aware that our stayers-at-home had already something too much of churches, statues, and pic tures, and yet that they cannot well imagine how much they make up the existence of tourists in the Old World. I have sedulously avoided this rock, and must trust for any little interest my book may possess to the honesty with which I have recorded my impressions, and to the fresh aspect of familiar things to the eye of a denizen of the New World. The fragmentary state in which my letters appear is owing to my fear of wearying readers less interested than my own family by prolonged details or prosing reflections, or disgusting them with the egotism of personal experience.

Letters From America (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Letters From America The author started in May 1913 on a journey to the United States, Canada, and the South Seas, from which he returned next year at the beginning of June. The first thirteen chapters of this book were written as letters to the Westminster Gazette. He would probably not have republished them in their present form, as he intended to write a longer book on his travels; but they are now printed with only the correction of a few evident slips. The two remaining chapters appeared in the New Statesman, soon after the outbreak of war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
