Excerpt from Souvenirs of Travel, Vol. 1
The materials of these volumes were not originally designed for publication. They consist chiefly of the private letters, journals, and sketches of a distinguished American lady, during two visits to Europe. Her social position at home, and an extensive acquaintance with the highest circles abroad, gave her familiar access to scenes and personages and conditions of life not ordinarily within the reach of the foreign traveller. The mystic veil which hides the penetralia of courtly and aristocratic society, was lifted for her eyes, and she was facilitated in her observations and experiences to a degree seldom awarded to an American before.
