Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Amateur Abroad: The Record of a Summer Tour in Europe
We arrive abreast the harbor of Queenstown which looks like a little country village, and discharge a portion of our passengers.
The daily papers will inform you that the Illi nois made excellent time to this port, namely: nine days and a few hours; but do not believe them. The Amateur and all his staff are ready to make deposition before any justice of peace in the United States or New Jersey that it was the longest voyage on record.
