Excerpt from The Young Folks Library: Selections From the Choicest Literature of All Lands Few forms of instructive literature make so strong an appeal to readers of all ages as does the story of exploration - the recital of the experiences of those who were "the first that ever burst into that unknown sea" or into an unexplored territory. It gratifies the almost universal desire to widen personal experience by visiting unknown countries and mingling with unknown peoples. If a traveller be a discoverer or explorer, one who for the first time visits and describes remote lands, additional interest is given to the recital. The explorer in a larger sense is a benefactor, since he carries the arts of civilization to those heretofore in darkness. One thinks of the great globe swinging in intellectual darkness, with only one little white spot illuminated by the art of writing and the consequent preservation of knowledge for us.
