Excerpt from Running Sketches of Men and Places: In England, France, Germany, Belgium, and Scotland
In putting out the following pages, it has been in part to satisfy the inquiries by my friends in this country, how I liked my tour through Europe, as well as to preserve the pleasing incidents which were shown me, by the people wherever I sojourned.
Without following the general course of travellers in encumbering their books in deep historical researches of the various countries they have visited, - I have merely put enough to interest the general reader, of the towns, and time-worn ruins which came under my personal observation.
Much of this is devoted to sketches of men now prominent before the European public, which I hope will repay the reader for the time occupied in reading them.
Evening after evening I have been requested to recite my impressions of the country since I have returned. I send forth this volume to the fireside of the paleface.
