This book is a record of a pleasure trip. If it were a record of a solemn
scientific expedition, it would have about it that gravity, that profundity, and that
impressive incomprehensibility which are so proper to works of that kind, and
withal so attractive. Yet notwithstanding it is only a record of a pic-nic, it has a
purpose, which is to suggest to the reader how he would be likely to see Europe
and the East if he looked at them with his own eyes instead of the eyes of those
who traveled in those countries before him. I make small pretense of showing
anyone how he ought to look at objects of interest beyond the sea—other books
do that, and therefore, even if I were competent to do it, there is no need.
