Excerpt from Sketches Abroad: With Pen and Pencil I would say to the gentle reader that the contents of this rather consumptive little vol ume were not intended, originally, for the public eye, but for the eye domestic; being extracts from familiar letters written from abroad to my family at home, and for their especial pleasure and benefit.
