Book Description
Excerpt from Notes of a Trip Around the World in 1894 and 1895 Soon after noon on the 3rd day of December, we saw, looming up high in the air in the distance, more than a hundred miles away, the silvery cone of the sacred mountain, Fujiyama; it seemed to us at first a shining cloud, so bright and white was it away Off in the sky. I can readily see why the Japanese so love the view of this mountain, rising as it does almost directly from the sea, its feet visible to millions of the people; first in the morning sun and reflecting its lovely pink rays at night as they see its last and highest point fade away from View with the declining day, it is something to love if not worship.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Daily Notes of a Trip Around the World The notes about India were written in India; every reference to the sea on ships - the writing was done every day as the journey progressed, and sent back to the newspaper Of which I was editor and publisher, as my part Of the daily work. The journey actually began October 26, 1905, and ended March 10, 1906; but travel letters never grow Old, if reason ably well done in the first place. The many commendations mine have received have resulted in this new edition. Original publication was in two volumes, usually objectionable to readers, and this fault has been over come by careful revision.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes of My Journey Round the World It needs some apology to add one more book to the library already published about journeys round the world; and could I not plead the excuse of having been persuaded to stray from the commendable paths of 'masterly inactivity, ' it certainly would have never been written. But this is not intended to be a volume of thrilling adventures or of tales profusely drawing upon the imagination; it is rather a volume of fact, briefly describing things as they exist, and its aim (if not too great a presumption) is to hint at just so much information as may entice the reader into following up any fancy in some larger work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes of a Holiday Tour Round the World: In 1883-4, Written for the Gratification of Personal Friends and Acquiantances The ocean was calm and peaceful around us, and the muster of the crew on deck - Europeans and Asiatics - in their Sunday attire was a pretty sight. The Europeans, or at least the Protestant portion of them, filed down into the saloon, and occupied the two sides, while the rest of the space was filled by the passengers. The captains and chief officer's seats were converted into reading-desk and pulpit, and the Church of England service was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Sharp, a passenger. The responses - the chants and hymns - were all effectively rendered, and it was altogether a gratifying service. In the evening we had hymns and sacred pieces. Early on Monday morning we found ourselves off the Northwest Cape of New Zealand, and as we kept all day within sight of land, we had some fine views of that striking coast line. Rounding the north-eastern shore we made for Auckland in a southerly direction. In the cruise down the coast we passed some remarkably fine islands and headlands - notably the Bay of Islands and its cliffs and promontories, Cape Butt standing out conspicuously. Then we passed "The Poor Knights," and later on Moro Tiri and Taranga, both extremely bold and broken, the latter especially, with its pinnacles and castellated eminences. There were multitudes of rocks and islands lying near the ship's course, which seemed to suggest a dangerous navigation. We experienced a change of weather at Auckland, and landed in rain. After exploring the town, and posting letters to our friends, we drove up to the public gardens, from which a fine view is obtained of the town and harbour; and thence to Mount Eden, a lofty eminence, which commands not only Auckland and its bay, but the entire isthmus on which Auckland is built, and the numerous islands and headlands around. The extinct volcanoes of this district number about seventy, and most of them are visible from this Pisgah top, which is itself an old crater, though now covered with a rich sward of green. The famed hot springs of this northern island of New Zealand are evidences of the rather unpleasant proximity of internal fires and gases, of which there are also disagreeable reminders in the frequent terrestrial disturbances. Hence a peculiarity about the town of Auckland, which the visitor cannot but notice - namely, the prevalence of wood and iron in the construction of houses, churches, and public buildings. The weather at Auckland was premonitory of something rough outside, and as we met an easterly swell, which caught the "Zealandia" on the beam, along her whole length of nearly 400 feet, she took to rolling, which made matters lively, and sent most of the new arrivals, and some of the other passengers, to their berths.
