Buckeye Abroad Or Wanderings In Europe And In The Orient

Excerpt from A Buckeye Abroad: Or Wanderings in Europe, and in the Orient A book of travels is no longer a book of marvels. There remains but small portions of terra incognita. Asia and the Americas are pouring in their tributes to the curiosity of this locomotive age. Africa, even, in the page of Cummings and others, peers from behind her veil of mystery, and the Arctics are melting their frigid bonds, to flow in the channels of literature. The only merit reserved for a volume of travels is, either that the ground is untrodden, or that the mode of observation is new and peculiar. The author can lay no claim to the former. Something may be conceded to him, from the fact imported by the title - A Buckeye Abroad. A native of the west, and of that part, familiarly known as the Buckeye State, - may be supposed with to look upon the scenes and mingle with the throngs of the Old World with new and peculiar sensations, which may find sympathy, if not with the general reader, at least with readers in Ohio. Indeed it was such an interest at home that called for the revision and the publication of these passages of travel.
