PREFACE.

"A Trip to the Orient, the Story of a MediterraneanCruise," by Robert Urie Jacob, has been writtenat the request of fellow-travelers who did nothave time to take notes by the way.

One said, "Do not write a guide book nor a love story,but a simple narrative that will recall the incidents anddelightful experiences of the tour." Following thesesuggestions, but with many misgivings, the author hasundertaken and completed the work, assisted in theediting and proof-reading by Miss Ruth Collins, of theDrexel Institute, and by Miss Anna C. Kauffman.

An interesting feature of the book is the large numberof illustrations made from artistic photographs, all ofwhich have been kindly contributed by amateur photographers.It contains nearly two hundred illustrations ofviews or incidents in Funchal, Granada, Algiers, Malta,Athens, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, Luxor, Naples,and Nice, reproduced from photographs taken by Mr.L. O. Smith, Rev. G. B. Burnwood, Mr. Charles LouisSicarde, Mr. Franklin D. Edmunds, Mr. Roberts LeBoutellier,Mrs. Charles S. Crosman, Miss M. Florence[Pg iv]Pannebaker, Mr. Walter F. Price, Mr. S. L. Schumo,Mr. George C. Darling, Mr. Howard E. Pepper, Mr.John W. Converse, Mr. C. Edwin Webb, and Mr. EdwinAlban Bailey.

The story was intended specially for voyagers whohave visited the same places, but it may be almost equallyinteresting to those who are planning a similar trip. Andthose who must stay at home may in these pages be ableto look through another's eyes at the places described.

If the book should in any slight way deepen the pleasantmemories of those who have made the trip, or if it shouldgive pleasure to those who must picture those scenes onlyin their imagination, the author will feel that his efforthas not been in vain.[Pg v]
