Excerpt from Grant's Tour Around the World: With Incidents of His Journey Through England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, Egypt, India, China, Japan, Etc
HE Editor of this work offers no apology for its appearance at this time. A work of this kind needs none. General Grant has made a tour around the world, and we have recorded the events which occurred and the sights which he saw. In its preparation, there has been within our reach, not only the letters of John Russell Young, who accompanied General Grant as correspondent of the New York Herald, but also much additional material; hence the reader has not only all that is of any interest in John Russell Young's letters as originally furnished by him, but also a Past amount of valuable and entertaining information which we have drawn from other sources. We have made these additions because we believed that it would give the book a more finished appearance.
