1921. European travel sketches of London, Belgium, Italy and
France. The book begins: To an American visiting Europe for the
first time, saith Geoffrey Crayon, the long voyage which he has to
make is an excellent preparative. To the greater proportion of
those who revisit the old world, the voyage is only an interval of
ennui and impatience. Not such is it to the writer of this
sentence. For him the sea has charms which age cannot wither, not
head winds abate. For him the voyage is a retreat from the cares of
business, a rest from the pursuit of wealth, and a prolonged
reminiscence of his youthful days, when he first trod the same
restless pathway, and the glories of England and the Continent rose
up resplendent before him, very much as the gorgeous city in the
clouds looms up before the young gentleman in one of the late
lamented Mr. Cole's pictures.
