Excerpt from Toward the Sunrise, Being Sketches of Travel in Europe and the East, to Which Is Added a Memorial Sketch of the Rev. William Morley Punshon
John Foster, in his Essay on the Alarming Increase of Books of Travel, is distressed to think of the literary hardships of posterity in having to read the accumulating thousands of volumes of travel. There is one comfort, however, which the great reading public enjoy - a privilege of which they cannot be deprived - and that is the inalienable right to read only such books as they choose to read.
If an apology for another book of travel is necessary, the writer has only to say, that having published during his journey a series of letters in the Christian Guardian, which interested some of its readers at the time, he has, at the request of many friends, presumed to revise, enlarge, and supplement the series, with the hope that they may serve a better purpose in this more permanent form.
