My Unknown Chum Aguecheek (Hardcover)

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.
