Excerpt from Some Heroes of Travel: Or Chapters From the History of Geographical Discovery Enterprise The present age is sometimes described as an Age of Commonplace; but it has its romance if we care to look for it. Assuredly, the adventures of its travellers and explorers do not lose in importance or interest, even when compared with those of their predecessors in days when a great part of the world was still "virgin ground." In the following pages, this thesis is illustrated by a summary of the narratives of certain "Heroes of Travel" belonging to our own time; and I believe it will be found that for "stirring scenes" and "hair-breadth escapes" they vie with any which the industrious Hakluyt, the quaint Purchas, or, coming down to a later date, the multifarious Pinkerton has collected.
