Excerpt from History and Travels: Of a Wanderer in Many States and Places of Interest in This Fair Land of Ours Why must another book meet you in open field, among thousands of others, and which like others must stand on its own merit as the author believes that every man in this world has his own special calling, duty or mission to fulfill, so have also all the good books that have been handed down to us, and by God's grace accompanying them, they have been the means of instructing and enlightening the human race. I love good books and good books are all the kind we should dare to read. Some of the sample books and papers left at our doors should be consumed in our grates, not fit to come into contact with the noble mind and soul which God has given us. We need pure literature, we need pure teaching, we need pure character if we desire pure lives, and if our lives are not pure in his sight the gates of the City will be closed against us. The object of this work is to give a little History and Travel for the perusal of its readers, that will prove both instructive and interesting and provide a fund for the benefit of the poor, which the Church nor Ladies' Aid cannot provide for.
