Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe Viewed Through American Spectacles By those who have visited Europe this volume will be found especially interesting, entertaining, and amusing; to those who intend to visit Europe, the author thinks it will be more valuable than most of the guide-books; and to those who do not expect to make a European tour, it will furnish much practical information that cannot be found in any other volume extant. To the Press of the country generally, which has so largely published fragmentary extracts from this tour of Europe, it is respectfully dedicated, in the hope that it will still further aid in enabling all Americans to see Europe through "American Spectacles." To our friend and fellow-traveler of ante-bellum times, that prince of good fellows, Murat Halstead, Esq., Editor of the Cincinnati Commercial, and our excellent friends. Colonel George W. Childs, Editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, and Hugh J. Hastings, Esq., of the New York Commercial, all of whom have given to their readers such copious extracts, we especially tender our thanks for a generous appreciation of our labors.
