Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rambles of a Southerner in Three Continents
In addition to his own observations, the author is indebted to many writers for valuable suggestions in preparing this volume; the following have been specially serviceable: The Standard Histories; Geikie; Farrar's Paul; Conybeare and Howson's Life and Epistles of Paul; Thompson's Land and the Book; Josephus; Dr. Young; Bishop Marvin's East Via West; Col. Gorman; Dr. Buckley's Writings on Foreign Travel; Dr. Olin; Dr. Fisk; Bayard Taylor's Views Afoot; Lee Merriwether; Mark Twain; President Winston's Continental Letters; Dr. De Haas; Dr. Menzie's Turkey, Old and New; Dr. Hamlin; Wood's Ephesus; Hamilton's Works on the Turks; George Ebers' Works; Encyclopedia Britannica, and all the guide books in loco. When more than suggestion is used the text is borrowed with due credit.
For illustrations we gratefully acknowledge the kindly services of The (Epworth) Alliance Herald, Pittsburgh Christian Advocate, Col. J. B. Gorman and Miss Lehman.
To friendly critics and a generous press the first edition owed its rapid sale.
May we not hope that enlargement in volume, revision of text, and illustration will secure for this the favorable reception to the first edition?
