Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Run Through Europe
I did not even present my letters of introduction, because necessary civilities would consume my time and restrain my freedom. I chose rather to rely upon the best couriers, valets, and cicerones, and to utilize my time, by adopting the most expeditious, the most open and the least fatiguing modes of locomotion, and to trust to my own eyes and reflec tions, dire'cted with focal energy to characteristic objects and events. I could thus go farther and see more, and my im pressions would be deep and lasting, although quickly made.
