Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Vol. 2 of 2 Dear E.: - This letter I consecrate to you, because I know that the persons and things to be introduced into it will most particularly be appreciated by you. In your evening reading circles, Macaulay, Sidney Smith, and Milman have long such familiar names that you will be glad to go with me over all the scenes of my morning breakfast at Sir Charles Trevelyan's yesterday. Lady Trevelyan, I believe I have said before, is the sister of Macaulay - that undaunted laborer for the slave, whose place in the hearts of all English Christians is little below saintship. We were set down at Welbourne Terrace, somewhere, I believe, about eleven o'clock, and found quite a number already in the drawing room.

Book Description

Excerpt from Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated From Designs by Hammatt Billings If there be characters and scenes that seem drawn with too bright a pencil, the reader will consider that, after all, there are many worse sins than a disposition to think and speak well of one's neighbors. To admire and to love may now and then be tolerated, as a variety, as well as to carp and criticize. America and England have heretofore abounded towards each other in illiberal criticisms. There is not an unfavorable aspect of things in the old world which has not become perfectly familiar to us; and a little of the other side may have a useful influence.

Sunny Memories Of Foreign Lands Volume 2 Harriet Beecher Stowe










Sunny Memories Of Foreign Lands 2


Book Description

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 – 1896) was an American abolitionist and a writer. She is best known for her novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. Following its remarkable success, the author made three tours to England and Europe, which inspired the two-volume set, “Sunny Memories in Foreign Lands.” Both volumes are a series of letters, some written on the spot – some after the author's return home – of impressions as they arose, of her most agreeable visits to England, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium during the first half of the nineteenth century.
