Excerpt from What the Duchess and I Saw in Europe: With Sketches, Poems, Etc These sketches have been compiled at the request of many friends who desired them in a more permanent form than that offered by their original publication in the columns of daily and weekly journals, magazines, etc. The letters from Europe make no pretensions to literary elegance or finish. They were hastily written in moments snatched from sight-seeing, and aimed at nothing more than an attempt to let the friends at home know our experiences day by day. Yet their reception was so kindly, and the requests for their collection in permanent form so numerous, that they are thus presented, in connection with certain sketches and poems that have had considerable favor in various journals and magazines. Just as they are, they are presented to the friends who have so royally stood by me in my twenty years' work for humanity, with the hope that they may enable the reader to pass at least a pleasant hour in their perusal. While I cannot say much for the literary worth of the reading matter, I can conscientiously recommend the quality of the paper on which the book is printed, the excellence of the printing, which was done by my old friends, Brown & Whitaker, of Hamilton, Ohio, and the high quality of the illustrations, which were made after my own photographs, by The Electric City Engraving Co., Buffalo, N.Y.
