The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Youthful Wanderer, by George H. Heffner
An Account of a Tour through England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany
Adapted to the Wants of Young Americans Taking Their First Glimpses at the Old World
From the Preface:
..
the time has come when an American can make the tour of Europe with but little more expenditure of time and money than it costs even a native of Europe to do it...
One of my principal objects in writing this book is to encourage others to make similar tours.
This work gives, in the compass of a single volume, a general idea of all the most striking features of the manners, customs and institutions of the people of some eight different nations speaking as many different languages and dialects.
..It is safe to assert, that if a young man had but two hundred dollars with six weeks of time at his command, and would spend it in seeing London and Paris, he could never feel sorry for it. _Young student go east._
