Excerpt from Sixty Days in Europe and What We Saw There

It seems to be necessary in issuing a new book to give some reason for its publication.

This book is intended to convey an idea of what can be seen in Europe in the time indicated in its title while traveling by the ordinary methods, and with a fair degree of comfort, and covers a number of what seem to us very interesting subjects.

It follows a similar work issued one year previous covering a trip through Cuba and Mexico, called "Spain's Lost Jewels," and which was so kindly received that the writer is encouraged to this second effort in the line of book making.

Anyone contemplating a trip to Europe should allow at least two months for travel and sightseeing between the time of his landing and departure from the other side. This is hardly enough, but adding to this the time in getting started and crossing the ocean both ways, makes nearly three months, which is about as long a period as the ordinary business man feels like devoting to one season's vacation.

Having this amount of time at our disposal, we followed the route indicated in these letters, and, in looking back, we hardly see how we could have done better unless we had taken more time. But if we had, the book would have probably been too big.
