Excerpt from Diary of My European Trip Ket-place, some dressed in picturesque cos tumes. It seemed that all who were not soldiers wanted to sell something to the passengers. The Moors went about trying to sell funny-looking copper coins. I bought a dozen fresh eggs from a Turk in regal costume for eight pence - 16 cents. Without hearing a joke, and even without seeing any prominent noses amongst us, he said, I'm a Yahuda this being proba bly a trick of his trade - to be of any relig ion the occasion might warrant. I bought a money-pouch from an African. Very small donkeys do all the hauling of very big loads strapped on either side of them in huge baskets. Many Spanish women run about here, some quite pretty, but wearing neither shoes, stockings, nor hats. Altogether, we spent a few pleasant hours looking at a queer, pretty little City, and a very funny, mixed-up lot of people. We said: Good-bye, Gibraltar.

Excerpt from Our Diary in Europe, 1871 On the clear sunny morn of Wednesday, May 10th, 1871, the Steamship Colorado left its pier at New York for Queenstown, Ireland, and for a time we bid adieu to our homes. Passing Sandy Hook we found the sea perfectly calm, scarcely a ripple marring its surface; our pilot left us now, and, as he departed, it seemed the last tie wasbeing severed thatbound us to our homes, and we left to the mercy of the wind and waves. One earnest, yearning prayer went out from our hearts, that God would keep us and our loved ones at home unharmed - would protect us in our travels, and bring us safely back. Soon the sunset auguries seemed to foretell a pleasant and prosperous trip, for in dappled gold and crimson flecks the flattened orb went down behind the waves; no clouds disturbed the scene save the light gossamer mantle the departing hours wrapped around them as they stepped softly through the portals opened for them; the stars came out brightly, and as we met the deepening swell of old ocean, our gallant boat bowed gently as though it met an old acquaintance.

Excerpt from A Boy's Vacation Abroad, 1906: An American Boy's Diary of His First Trip to Europe We suggested to young King that he reproduce the Dedication in his own handwriting and wrote him to this effect. His answer was so good that we thought we would tell the readers about it. It ran as follows: "I wrote out that Dedication the best I could and hope it is the correct thing, but must say I think to print it in type would look much better, for I write like a hen, and do not like the idea of writing in this book. Am afraid it will queer the book." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
