Excerpt from Five Months Abroad The following record of a European tour, made in the summer of 1881, appeared in the first instance as a series of letters in the columns of the Detroit Evening News, and its presentation in more permanent shape was not then thought of by the author; but so numerous and apparently sincere were the solicitations that it should be reprinted in book form, that he could not, without ingratitude, allow them to pass unheeded. In preparing the work for the press much of it has been entirely rewritten, the form changed from letters to chapters, and one or two entirely new chapters added. The illustrations are mostly original, and were engraved from photographs collected by the author in the course of his journey. The aim in the preparation of the work has been three-fold: First, to convey to the reader as graphic an idea as possible of what he would see and how probably be impressed were he himself to make the same journey; Second, to interweave with the narrative of travel such an amount of collateral historical and biographical fact as should make the book valuable as a medium of general information; and, Third, by frequent reference and allusion to make the work somewhat of a basis for and stimulus to culture in the realms of art and literature.
