Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wanderings of the Hermit of Westminster Between New York San Francisco in the Autumn of 1881
American Liners, crossing the Atlantic, and making themselves perfectly at home on either side of that mighty ocean; and thus it has come about, that the stream of voyagers is constant in both directions all the year round.
What this stream will be, as time rolls on, it is difficult to imagine, swelling and augmenting as it constantly has been and is. The great Steamship Companies who do this international carrying trade, are giving substantial evidence of their faith in its permanent vitality, by providing for the future, magnificent vessels of more than double the capacity and power of those hitherto employed.
