Excerpt from Beyond the Atlantic: Or Eleven Months Tour in Europe, Egypt and Palestine, With Illustrations
Of [ate, books of travel have been increasing at a rapid rate, and the public taste for that kind of reading has proportionately increased. Each succeeding traveler views things in a different light, being inspired with new ideas, thereby furnishing the reader with some important facts which have been overlooked by his predecessors.
These pages were written from notes taken among the scenes which they describe, and only treat of objects coming under the writer's own observation. It will be found to consist principally of short descriptions of places; and facts alone are given, without the opinions or impressions of the winter, leaving the readers to draw their own conclusions. This work will be found to differ from other books of travel, inasmuch as it is composed of sketches, under separate heads.
