Excerpt from A Cruise on the Mediterranean: Or Glimpses of the Old World Through the Eyes of a Business Man of the New To My Friend, Greeting: At the suggestion and earnest request of some of my friends, I have consented to the publication, in book form, of the letters that I wrote while on our Oriental trip. Through the kindness of my friend, Eugene J. Hall, these letters were published in the "Grocers' Criterion" during last winter and spring. My motive for writing these letters was that my family and intimate friends might, in a measure, enjoy some of the pleasures and benefits of a trip of great historic interest. To my son, Phelps, I am indebted for some of the results of his camera, to my good wife, for her encouragement and approval, to Poole Brothers, printers, for superior work in illustrations, to Eugene J. Hall for looking after the details and business features of the publication. As to my time and the expense of publication, my reward will be ample, should my friends accept this token of friendship and find in its perusal the pleasure that I could wish for.
