Excerpt from Abroad With Jane I Had wondered these many years why people went to Europe, when Jane told me we were going. Why should they keep going so, to be sure? Man wants but little here below, and a large proportion of it is obtainable in these states, to wit: food, drink, shelter, newspapers, other reading, church privileges, schooling, and all the commodities. And I had seen - we all have seen - so many, many people go to Europe, some of them habitually, without any obvious effects of the treatment! I know it may be a case like that of a man very attentive to his duties in church and used as an example of the inefficacy of Christianity, but nobody knows how much meaner he might have been if he had not been partly Christianized. I do not doubt that civilization in this country is appreciably affected and, I hope, improved by the prevalent go-to-Europe habit, and perhaps the individuals who go are more beneficially Europeanized than appears on their surfaces. But anyhow, Jane said we were going. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
