Excerpt from The Story of an European Tour The European trip which is described in this little story was the culmination of a lifetime of hopes and anticipations. I realize that impressions of so brief a journey will seem extremely crude and "scrappy," particularly to those who have spent years upon the same ground. I have told the story as it actually occurred, not assuming to know, where I did not know, and endeavoring not to take up space with details and facts to be easily found elsewhere. My husband and myself made up the party "conducted by ourselves," and the experiences are individual. The story was begun as a simple journal of the trip, with no thought of its ever being published in book form. My largest hope for it is that it may inspire some to "see for themselves." Of course, in "seeing for oneself," many things are disappointing, but on the whole there will be added to life that which can be added in no other way.

Excerpt from Finding the Worth-While in Europe For this reason I have little to say of the great cities which I have found very much like each other and like our own, but I do aim to show the way to some of those places in every land to see which will surely make of the trip a pleasant memory. Many of these are included in every well planned European tour, but some are not, and take my word for it and be not afraid to turn aside sometimes from the beaten track, for in the odd corners of the earth are often found its greatest beauties.

Excerpt from A Tour in Europe This is now the fourth day at sea; the weather persists in being amiable. If such continues, I shall not behold Neptune in a pet, and I almost wish for a touch of his wrath. Having seen him in good humor now for so long a time, it would be pleasant to have a little change. Already by my exclusiveness I have built up a kind of wall about myself; I have not been un friendly, still I have not been communicative. I walk the deck alone, till my solitary habits have been remarked, and people avoid me, not wish ing to disturb nie. Everybody is getting acquainted and is taking the measure of the rest. There is a good deal of chattering at the table and elsewhere. Two or three men have shown their souls in complete undress before the whole company by their prattle. I often am impelled to exclaim inwardly: Let not thy tongue lay bare thy Holy of Holies to profane View! I feel like turning away from a person who persists in stripping his soul stark naked in public. Itis worse than bodily nudity. Disgusting the thing becomes when are displayed the running sores of the soul, as the beggar revels in showing his paralyzed limbs and physical deformities.

Excerpt from Tour Two: A Trip to Europe and What Came of It The gathering at Berlin was truly remarkable, Hindu and Japanese mingling with Anglo Saxon, Teuton and CeIn Dr. Bisbee's book A Summer Flight you will find many humorous allusions to incidents of the trip as far as the whole company traveled to gether. He calls us angels, but says very little about the ladies in the party, leaving the reader somewhat in doubt as to whether the angels were mostly men or the men mostly angels. Of course many little events transpired that might escape the observation of a mere man, but you will enjoyhis book, which is a charming description of cer tain phases of the journey upon which I have not touched. The American party was large and unusually companionable. We were divided into small groups on landing, and were so well organized that we felt throughout like an invading army under marching orders.

Excerpt from Europe Viewed Through American Spectacles By those who have visited Europe this volume will be found especially interesting, entertaining, and amusing; to those who intend to visit Europe, the author thinks it will be more valuable than most of the guide-books; and to those who do not expect to make a European tour, it will furnish much practical information that cannot be found in any other volume extant. To the Press of the country generally, which has so largely published fragmentary extracts from this tour of Europe, it is respectfully dedicated, in the hope that it will still further aid in enabling all Americans to see Europe through "American Spectacles." To our friend and fellow-traveler of ante-bellum times, that prince of good fellows, Murat Halstead, Esq., Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, and our excellent friends. Colonel George W. Childs, Editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Hugh J. Hastings, Esq., of the New York Commercial, all of whom have given to their readers such copious extracts, we especially tender our thanks for a generous appreciation of our labors.

Excerpt from Tour of Europe Each class of travel, from steerage to first cabin, has its trials and temptations, but every scheme and device that ingenuity begotten of long experience, could suggest, appear to be levelled against the latter class of tourists. You are waited on at your hotel by polished crooks who in some unaccountable way know your name, residence, occupation and destination, and worse yet, are able to name your intimate friends, are profuse with offers to aid you in countless ways, all of which, however tempting they may appear, you can afford promptly to decline. The inexperienced traveller should confine his wishes and money only to reliable companies, the experienced ones need not this suggestion.

Excerpt from The Afterglow of European Travel Sitting here in the seclusion of my own home library, and taking a retrospective view of that, to us, memorable tour from New York to Pompeii, I do not know as I can recall any land which afforded me more unqualified enjoy ment than that of which Edinburgh is the capital. A com bination of circumstances combined to produce this result. It was the first earth we trod after a dreary, rainy voyage. It was a land rich in legend, history, and song, interwoven with my earliest thought of the Old World. It was the birthplace of men whose names were household words from childhood.
