Sinopsis
Excerpt from Practical European Guide Preparation, Cost, Routes, Sight-Seeing
When it is suggested that Americans take too much money out of the country each year to leave in Europe, it is well to remember what equivalent it returns to us. We need just what the money buys, - a knowledge of other people and other methods, a broadening of thought, the experience of seeing how the world moves and what keeps it progressing, and, best, of all, a realizing sense of how great our own new country is in its lofty ideas of right and justice, its zeal in good works, and its rare prosperity for the masses.
Our system of education encourages a taste for reading which develops individual culture, so that a constant preparation for travel - the real school of culture - is going on. It is well, there fore, that every aid should be given to all who may contemplate a trip abroad, and that it may be seen how easily such a journey can be managed with a little care. It is my aim in this book to give some practical and useful hints in regard to foreign travel, - hints that I hope may be really useful, and many of which will aim to supply necessary information not found in any of the many guide books which compete for the prospective traveller's attention.

Excerpt from Practical European Guide Preparation, Cost, Routes, Sight-Seeing
The idea, still prevalent among many people, that only the favored few can enjoy the pleasure and edification of European travel, is quite a mistaken one. Not many years ago a trip abroad was a supreme luxury. To the average man or woman the hope of seeing Venice was little more than a fanciful dream. We spoke of the "Eternal City" without the idea that we might some day look upon it from the Summit of the Janiculum Hill. We knew of Paris as the Capital of the Cosmopolitan World, but a stroll on the boulevards was not within our reach, as it is to-day. For the eager demand which has developed among all classes of our citizens for a chance to visit the "Old World" has resulted in the achievement of conditions that now allow any one to plan for a journey to Europe as easily as for a trip to California or a season at a seaside or mountain resort, and with possibilities of economies in expense which will bring the cost within the limits of a very modest income.
