Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Months in Europe: A Record of a Summer Vacation Abroad
The author has had in mind only to give a brief but faithful account of what will be most likely to interest the traveler who goes for profit as well as pleasure. He has endeavored to represent things fairly, and without that gush of admiration with which the coolest of us often see things for the first time. Personal allusions and experiences, which are of no value or interest to a stranger, have been as far as possible avoided, and the single aim has been kept in view of giving a plain and straight forward account of a summer's tour.
If the book should recall pleasing memories to those who have had the pleasure of a foreign trip, and, most of all should be instrumental in inducing young people to visit, even hastily, the old world, and thus have the life-long enjoyment of the pleasure and knowledge which such a trip gives, the author will be more than satisfied.
