Letters from America

Excerpt

The author started in May 1913 on a journey to the United States,
Canada, and the South Seas, from which he returned next year at the
beginning of June.  The first thirteen chapters of this book were written
as letters to the Westminster Gazette.  He would probably not have
republished them in their present form, as he intended to write a longer
book on his travels; but they are now printed with only the correction
of a few evident slips.
