Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Europe and the East I found, however, that, to do justice to the theme I had proposed, it expanded to such volume on matters of miscellaneous interest to the general reader as well as on those strictly professional, that it might more properly assume the form of a book of travels.

Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Europe and the East: During the Years 1858-59 and 1863-64 Few young American women have enjoyed as extensive opportunities of travel as did the author of the following pages; and her vivid imagination, and keen appreciation of. All that is most beautiful in Nature and in Art, attest themselves in all that she has written. Her first visit to Europe was made in company with her parents, her eldest sister and her cousin, in the fall of 1858. She returned home in the autumn of the following year: and it is from her journal kept during this period that the first part of the present volume was afterwards written out by her. In August, 1863, she visited China, going by way of California, crossing the Pacific in a sailing ship-the line of steamers not being yet established - and returned home in August of the following year by what is known as the Peninsular and Oriental Overland route, via Singapore, Ceylon, Suez. And Europe - a journey of great interest, encircling the earth. Descriptive letters written at different pomts on this tour form the second part of these records of travel. In November, 1867, in company with her husband and two sisters she re-visited Europe, passing most of the winter in Rome and Naples, and returned in the following June. Her last long journey was undertaken as a great invalid. With the hope of deriving benefit from a sea voyage. In September, 1875. With her husband and their two children - Henry Trowbridge, born April i5th, 1870, and William Bradford, born June 2sth 1872 - she sailed from New York for Rio de Janeiro via St. Thomas, Para, Pernambuco, and Bahia. Remaining only a week in Rio the party returned to St Thomas, and crossed to Santa Cruz. Where three months were passed; and in the latter part of February they returned to New York via St. Thomas and St. John. P. R. On these last two journeys no journal was kept.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Travels Through Europe and My Western Trip I published in one of the local papers a brief account of where I went and what I saw. Again in 1910 it was my good fortune, in company with my wife, to make a pleasure and sight-seeing trip through nine different countries of Europe and on my return I published in a locappaper a brief account of our trip and some of the interesting things we saw. I re ceived so many flattering words of appreciation from those who had read my description, that I have felt in clined to have my stories published in book form so that any who may have the desire so to do, can read them. The articles were written hastily in my office evenings, in common everyday language, without any attempt at embellishment or elaboration and describes what we saw or heard from our guide. Nothing is taken from the books or writings of others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Travels in Europe: Viz;, In England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands Many of the letters that are incorporated-in therfollowing work were written at different times during my tour to the persons to whom they are addressed; but these covered but a smaller portion of the topics which I wished to introduce. A question, therefore, came up, in preparing the materials for the press, Whether these letters should be enlarged and multiplied so as to place all the matter in the same form; or whether, letting these stand essentially as they were, with the necessary revision and corrections, the additional matter should be thrown into the form of plain narrative. The latter method, as will be seen, has been adopted. This, I know, is rather out of the common course, and may be the cause of a noticeable difierence in the style but it has occurred to me that this may be no objection nay, that perhaps the monotony of one unvaried form may be relieved by the change, and be, at least, no drawback upon the interest of the work. I had much more matter which I might have inserted; but -i have 'made my book already too large, according to the fash ion of the day and fashion will have its influence in the size of a book as well'as in'everything else.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from By-Ways of Europe This is probably the last volume of travels which I shall ever publish. It closes a series of personal and literary experiences which cannot be renewed, and which I have no belief will be extended. Now, therefore, all that I have done as a traveller detaches itself from my other labors, lies clear behind me as a life by itself, and may be considered with a degree of self-criticism which was scarcely possible while it lay nearer. The brief review which I desire to make, must necessarily be autobiograph ical in its character, and I am aware that this is question able ground. But as I have been specially styled, for so many years and little to my own satisfaction, a traveller or a tourist, and in either character have received praise and blame, equally founded on a misconception of the facts and hopes of my life, I claim the privilege, this once, to set the truth before those who may care to hear it.
