Excerpt from European Recollections: An Address Delivered Before the New York Typographical Society, on Franklin's Birthday, January 17, 1861 My fellow-members of the Typographical Society complimented me, on my return from Europe, more than a year ago, by inviting me to give them some account of my travels in the Old World, and somewhat in reference to the condition of our profession in those older countries, which are sometimes supposed to be further advanced than we in the practice of the "Art Preservative." Other matters prevented me, upon my return, from acceding to the members' request, and, at this time, I have only had opportunity to jot down some of my recollections in a hasty, desultory manner, which, I trust, may prove more interesting to you than they are satisfactory to me. There are many things connected with my voyage that may be omitted. The sorrows of sea-sickness, for instance, would not probably interest you, and it certainly is not a very delightful reminiscence to any one.
