Excerpt from Eastward to the Land of the MorningA preface seems a useless prefix to a little volume like this. It contains only the record of a happy winter under sunny skies and amidst strange peoples; and as it is said that each and all of us see the world through different glasses, so perhaps something new may be found in these notes, though they are for the most part over the beaten pathway. Still, as I have not gone, into detailed description - have in fact avoided any thing of the guide-book order - simply giving my own impressions of the grand panorama of the world as it unrolled itself before me, perhaps those impressions may interest you. If they are the means of inducing any one to put a girdle round the earth, they will more than have fulfilled their mission. M. M.
