Sinopsis

Excerpt from Beyond the Sea-Rim

Now one can travel extensively for little more than it costs to spend a few weeks at the coast during the summer vacation.

A trip may be anything one chooses to make it -an item of social routine, an attempt to escape ennui, an outlet for surplus fortune. I write for those to whom travel means much more, the great number Who have more culture, perhaps, than money. To them it is an opportunity of getting the best return for a few hundred dollars that an intelligent and educated man could desire.

Travellers Who must economise are generally those Who have a summer v professors, students, school teachers, ministers, and business men Who have earned a little freedom. They have, as a rule, the months of J uly and August at their disposal. They want to see the greatest foreign cities, famous cathedrals, the masterpieces of the world in painting, sculpture, and architecture, Splendid ruins, the landmarks of history, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Excerpt from Beyond the Sea-Rim

This handbook is not intended to compete in any way with existing guide-books. Its scope is entirely different. It has been compiled to satisfy the need, felt by everyone embarking on foreign travel, of a compendium of information, dealing in a single volume with all countries likely to be visited, and a detailed estimate of probable expenses. It is intended to make the way clear to many who desire to travel, but fear they may not be able to afford it.

The broadening and educational influence of travel is incalculable. President Eliot, of Harvard, once expressed grave doubt Whether a college course or a course of world-travel is of the greater value. Our grandfathers considered it a tremeu dous experience to make even the grand tour of Europe, and a. Girdle round the world was only for a man of great daring and fabulous wealth.

Now one can travel extensively for little more than it costs to spend a few weeks at the coast during the summer vacation.
