"In reply, it must be confessed that he is no distinguished man. He is a resident of Mobile and a graduate of Princeton College in 1879, where he took the Mental Science fellowship and went to Leipzig University for courses in philosophy and law. In the vacations, he traveled a good deal, ranging from Stirling to Pompeii, from Berlin to Paris. Not yet recovered from the systematic training of his alma mater, he observed carefully while abroad and kept full journals, being interested more especially in everything connected with history. On this occasion, he lived abroad for over a year. 
In 1891 came the pleasure trip of four months recorded in this volume, in which the route was somewhat varied, but the historical point of view was maintained. This book follows the footprints of the second visit but includes much of the importance gleaned from the first.
