Book Description
Excerpt from Diary of a Trip Abroad in the Summer of 1910 It was nice of Sam. K. And Elt (george Eliot, to o) to see us off. We all appreciated Elt's waiting over a day just for that, tho' it must have been a sad farewell for. Him. There Was comfort for us in numbers. Once started, I busied myself writing letters to Harvey, Brookes, Hugs, and Elt until, when I came on deck, we were passing the Ambrose Channel Lightship. We sat in out chairs or strolled about the rest of that after; noon, and before dinner adjourned to our staterooms to get ready.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Boy's Vacation Abroad, 1906: An American Boy's Diary of His First Trip to Europe We suggested to young King that he reproduce the Dedication in his own handwriting and wrote him to this effect. His answer was so good that we thought we would tell the readers about it. It ran as follows: "I wrote out that Dedication the best I could and hope it is the correct thing, but must say I think to print it in type would look much better, for I write like a hen, and do not like the idea of writing in this book. Am afraid it will queer the book." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A collection of anecdotes for each day of the year on the subject of travel and exploration from Charles Darwin, Michael Palin, Evelyn Waugh, and others. With an emphasis on the period 1750–1950—the classic era of both European exploration and diary-writing—this anthology features excerpts that convey men and women’s experiences of travel and discovery from the sixteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. The authors of the pieces range from famous explorers such as Captains Cook and Scott to modern travel writers journeying through the contemporary world, from people who pushed back the boundaries of geographical knowledge to people who wrote about what they did on their summer holidays.

Book Description
Diary with photgraphs and postcards by Ruth Knowles of a trip to Europe taken with Rob (her brother?) June 21-August 26, 1910. The diary was written after the trip from notes kept by Knowles from the time they sailed from New York until their return to Montreal. They sailed on the Noordam and returned home on the steamship Virginian. She includes snapshots, postcards, programs, and a brochure from Ernest R. Clark's Vacation Tour of 1910, which is the tour group they traveled with. They visited the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, France, and England. She writes of shipboard activities, hotels, trains, sightseeing, members of the tour group, and includes historical comments and literary associatons to places. In London, she meets an American friend, Michael Suisdorfer several times and visits his mother and sister. On return, their father met them in Quebec and went with them to Montreal where they stayed with friends; the diary ends here. Although written afterward, the diary is quite detailed and lively. At the end is pasted a postcard informing her all is set for her entrance to Wellesley in September.
