Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, AEsthetic, Social, and Moral, Written From Europe, Egypt, and Palestine I have assented to the wishes of a few friends, and allowed this small edition of four hundred copies of these letters to be published. I have no personal preferences to gratify, either in publishing or withholding. But I cannot at present persuade myself, that they would be likely to possess any special interest beyond a very limited circle. The letters will, for the most part, explain their own history. It will not be necessary, therefore, to go into details here. I should do injustice, however, to my feelings, if I did not refer in a few words to my fellow-travellers, Rev. Mr. Thompson, and Mr. and Mrs. Walcott. Mr. Thompson is the pastor of the Tabernacle Church in New York. I had previously known him in America; and it was with pleasure I met him in London. Mr. Thompson is the editor of the popular and able religious paper, the Independent; and is the author of a number of valuable works. Since his return from his travels, he has published an interesting and well-written volume on Egypt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
