Excerpt from Glimpses of Europe
While writing "Glimpses of Europe" for newspaper publication, I had no thought of incorporating the letters in a bound volume. Repeated requests that this be done, received from a variety of sources, accounts for my making the venture. A life-long friend, whose judgment I prize highly, under recent date wrote me as follows:
"I have read with the liveliest interest your serial letters in the press, covering your trip through Europe. To my mind they are the most readable articles of their character, because of their composition and the information imparted, that I have ever read. In this, I believe, those in the community who have read them as they appeared, will concur. I believe you owe it to the people, both of this generation and those unborn, to put them in book form, for they will ever be read with increasing interest.
"I hope that you can see your way clear to do this."
An extract from a letter received from a lady friend says:
"I suppose the suggestion that your foreign letters should appear in book form is not a new one to you, but I would like to help emphasize the fact that they are much too interesting and too valuable to be lost sight of.
