Excerpt from A Story of Life on the Isthmus It IS not, nevertheless, pretended that the following pages are fraught with any special brilliancy - a modest disclaimer which the reader will perchance think wholly uncalled for under the circumstances - made up of disjointed sketches, drawn roughly enough with such materials as were at hand during rude voyaging, aiming not at any depth of coloring or sentiment, the book will doubtless remind some of those canvas daubings, termed Pano ramas, wherein much is seen for a small amount; but which, it is to be hoped, if lacking in those grand touches which only a master can produce, do yet serve in their way to convey to the hurried gazer a sort of floating idea of the bcauty or richness of the real scene.
