Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 1 of 2 I was aware that our stayers-at-home had already something too much of churches, statues, and pic tures, and yet that they cannot well imagine how much they make up the existence of tourists in the Old World. I have sedulously avoided this rock, and must trust for any little interest my book may possess to the honesty with which I have recorded my impressions, and to the fresh aspect of familiar things to the eye of a denizen of the New World. The fragmentary state in which my letters appear is owing to my fear of wearying readers less interested than my own family by prolonged details or prosing reflections, or disgusting them with the egotism of personal experience.

Excerpt from Letters From Abroad A few miles from the former place, we passed a picturesque gorge, which forms the present frontier between France and Italy. Characteristic differences soon appear, not in the country, as I have said, but in the prevalence of the Italian language in the notices on the walls and the names of the shops. The French authorities are doing all they can to banish the Italian from the annexed provinces. They will allow the celperz'ezcm, for instance, a license to sell Protestant bibles in French, but not in Italian.

Excerpt from Letters From Abroad to Kindred at Home, Vol. 2 of 2 WE have crossed the Alps, my dear C., and are in Italy, but not quite so easily as I write it. The weather is as much a matter of speculation to those who are about to make a pass of the Alps as if they were going to sea. This morning at three I was looking out from my window, and found it perfectly clear. My Old familiar friends were shining down on the valley of Lanslebourg, Orion on his throne, and Jupiter glittering over one of the mountain pinnacles. Now, thought I, we are sure of a fine day. But when Francois came round to our doors with his customary reveille, Gate cope, (francois always speaks English in the hearing of the natives l) the sky was overcast. We were early astir, which, though both healthful and good husbandry, is only the virtue of necessity with us.

Excerpt from Letters From Foreign Lands In my next communication I will refer to the medical situation in Turkey, but in the meantime will call attention to the fact that every person in the Sultan's dominions looks upon himself as a Specialist, since he fixes his charges in proportion to what he thinks his patron is able or willing to pay. There are no prices for anything in the country. The prices asked, even by the boot-blacks, the barbers and the bakers are such as the case is likely to bear and without sharp bargaining strangers get woefully eeced.

Excerpt from A Budget of Letters, or Things Which I Saw Abroad Here we lay at anchor, the wind being ahead, and how long we shall have to stay is more than we can tell. We had an opportunity this afternoon to go up to the city with the captain, but we preferred to stay on board ship, that we may begin to feel at home before we get out to sea, for as you may well imagine every thing is strange to us. As we stepped on board this morning, our ears were saluted with sounds that seemed more appropriate to a farm-yard than a ship. We turned suddenly and saw a meek, innocent look ing cow, apparently as much out of her element as we were; and that she might have somewhat to remind her of her country home, sundry pigs were squealing near by, which sounds, ever and anon, were relieved by the noisy geese, the gobbling turkey, the cackling hen, and the quacking duck. From the appearance of this live stock, we judge that we shall want for none of the good things of this life, and with all this preparation for the body, the mind is not neglected.
