Book Description
Excerpt from Across the Ferry: First Impressions of America and Its People Stepping on board the steamer at Liverpool, a familiar voice greeted me with the words, "Are you going across the ferry?" My friend, the representative of a London business firm, going often to and fro, thought as little of the transatlantic voyage as of crossing from Dover to Calais. The phrase sounded strange at the time, and it came to remembrance long afterwards, when seeking some short title under which to publish in separate form a series of papers, which had appeared in the Leisure Hour, headed "First Impressions of America and its People."

Book Description
Excerpt from Impressions of America Turn back now to (i), i.e. The experiment with the forefinger alone, and keeping the attention fixed on the finger, look first at some object not very far behind the finger (i.e. On the side of it away from the eye), and then at some object much further off: you will notice that the further off is the object at which you look, the greater is the distance between the two images of the finger, so that by looking at an object a suitable distance away, the two images of the forefinger may be made to move as far apart as we wish, within certain limits. It is in this way that we can bring the two stereoscopic pictures into coincidence, and although it is impossible to avoid a somewhat tedious description of this method, in practice it is quite easy, especially after a person has once succeeded.

Book Description
Excerpt from Over Here: Impressions of America During a year spent largely in Pennsylvania, with occasional visits to other states, I have found little to criticise, but rather much to admire, much indeed to love. America now means a great deal to me, since it contains so many people that I have learnt to care for, so I want to let my cousins as well as my own countrymen know my thoughts. From the day that I landed in New York until the present moment, I have been treated with a kindliness that surpasses anything I thought possible in this world. I have been able to see, I hope, where misunderstanding has arisen, and, being a Highland Scotchman, I am able to express my feelings. I have written more about persons than about places. Sometimes I laugh a little, but never unkindly; and I do this because I realize that American people rather appreciate a joke even at their own expense. Often I have heard, over here, that it is impossible for an Englishman to see a good joke. A man told me once that the Kaiser was disguising his submarines as jests, with an obvious design. The idea was interesting to me, because if there is one thing that we Britons pride ourselves upon, it is our sense of humour. Of course, the explanation is obvious.
