Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from After-Thoughts of Foreign Travel: In Historic Lands and Capital Cities
These after-thoughts of two and a half years abroad, are not offered as exhaustive essays, but rather suggestive compends of subjects considered. They were first presented at some intervals in lec tures, which will account for their variety of style and method. Their aim is to direct special atten tion to those countries and events, whence has come our civilization. Accordingly, I have gleaned from the places visited and studied, such facts and sug gestions, as would naturally induce others to investi gate and gather up from foreign lands and men that instruction and knowledge, which tend to hallow the past, enrich the present, and ennoble the future.
