Excerpt from Greek Vignettes: A Sail in the Greek Seas, Summer of 1877 This little book is a record of a few weeks' travel in Greece last summer. It does not make the least claim to thoroughness; no deep ques tions of archaeology are discussed only the vivid impressions of the moment are given; and the task of discussing the moral and political regen eration of the modern Greeks is left to more elaborate investigators. The journey was a de lightful succession of pictorial surprises the land scape and the externalities of Greece could alone be noted, and there was no time for discussing Greek parliamentary reform, the subtler aspects of Greek character, or the inner and profounder life of this interesting people. The indulgence of the kindly reader is therefore asked for the many (doubtless) hasty judgments of these pages, the sudden transitions from subject to subject, the use of the present tense, and the constant recurrence of f. A book written in the fields, hotels, and ships, on one's knees, or saunteringthrough olive groves with the thermometer 100° Fahrenheit, must be guilty Of all these 5 so slight and perishable a thread Of oriental travel hardly deserves the memorializing help of print at all. The author, however, with due apologies, brings it before the public with the hope that it may at tract more attention to a field still little explored.
