Excerpt from Bits About America During a visit which I made to America, in the early months of 1887, I wrote a series of articles which appeared in the Edinburgh Scotsman newspaper as "Bits from the Scrap-book of a Scot visiting America." I have been asked to put these into book form. In doing this, the following lines keep ringing in my ears, I recognise their note of warning and its need: - "Oft has it been my lot to mark, A proud, conceited, talking spark, With eyes, that scarcely served at most To guard their owner 'gainst a post, Yet round the world the blade has been, To see whatever's to be seen, Returning from his finished tour, Grown ten times perter than before, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
