Description
Excerpt from New Life in New Lands: Notes of Travel The volume which I have the temerity to bring as a little offering to the great American public is my first offence in the book line for some years. It is surely not a grave offence, being composed of light letters, contributed during the last eighteen months to the "New York Times." They were written irregularly and hurriedly, in brief intervals of travel, visiting, lecturing, and sight-seeing. Unfortunately a severe illness in the late summer and early autumn prevented me from giving them the careful revision they greatly needed. They go into print the second time with all their old sins on their heads, - the "original sin" of having been a journal of travel aver well-traveled paths; "sins of omission" in matter of philosophic thought and valuable statistics; "sins of commission" in the way of puns and slang and "foolish jesting which is not convenient."
