Excerpt from From New York to Jerusalem: Or Notes of Foreign Travel
The following notes of a tour in Europe and the East, made many years ago, were, on their first appearance, kindly received by many readers.
In putting them into this more permanent form, the author would not be understood to claim for them the merit of novelty; he only believes that details are given here and there in these pages which do not often find their way into books of travel.
If some of the allusions to persons or places betray the remoteness of the period when the observations were made, the reader will please bear in mind that one of the peculiar charms of a foreign tour consists in the antiquity of the objects he sees and the localities he visits; hence, the interest attaching to the perusal of such a work is not dependent upon the date of the journey it describes.
The author of this little itinerary hopes that its outlines will furnish some profitable information to those who have not been abroad, while it serves to awaken many delightful memories in the minds of others who have enjoyed that privilege.
