Excerpt from Around the Clock in Europe: A Travel-SequenceTravel is generally conceded to be one of the most 1nforming and diverting of engagements, and to gain in both particulars in proportion to the favorableness of the conditions under which it is prosecuted. It is, there fore, a satisfaction to be in position to afford readers advantages scarcely obtainable elsewhere. Discarding conventions of time and space, the author undertakes to give them twelve consecutive happy hours in Europe, once around the clock, always endeavoring to secure the most favorable union of hour and place. And though there may be dissent from his judgment con cerning the superiority of this combination or that, there can hardly be two opinions as to the perfection of the transportation facilities. The latter eliminate time and space, and convey the reader from city to city and from point to point, with no discomfort or inconvenience Whatever, and without the loss of so much as a tick of the watch.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
