Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes of What I Saw, and How I Saw It
It may seem that the tour was hurriedlv made. Per haps such a criticism would be just, to a limited extent. The reader is asked to remember that the facilities for travel have been so systematized that a circuit of the globe has become but a brief pleasure voyage. More time would have been devoted to Japan and India, had we been aware that an unkind and absurd decree of the Egyptian authorities would deprive us of the trip up the Nile, and a visit to the Holy Land, Constantinople, and Greece. This deviation from the original programme shortened our stay abroad more than two months, and deprived the tour of many of its most attractive features.
