1869. The letters composing this volume were written at various times duringthe last sixteen years and during journeys made in different countries. Theycontain however no regular account of any tour or journey made by the writerbut are merely occasional sketches of what most attracted his attention. Thegreater part of them have already appeared in print. The author is sensiblethat the highest merit such a work can claim if ever so well executed is butslight. He might have made these letters more interesting to readers ingeneral if he had spoken of distinguished men to whose society he wasadmitted but the limits within which this may be done with propriety andwithout offense are so narrow and so easily overstepped that he has preferredto abstain altogether from that class of topics. He offers his book to thepublic with expectations which will be satisfied by a very moderate success.Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced some pages may bespotty or faded.
