When a man's house is "left unto him desolate" by theloss of one who filled it with sunshine—when there is nolight in the window and no fire on the hearth—it is anatural impulse to leave his darkened home, and become awanderer on the face of the earth. Such was the beginningof the journey recorded here. Thus driven from hishome, the writer crossed the seas, and passed from landto land, going on and on, till he had compassed the roundglobe. The story of all this is much too long to be comprisedin one volume. The present, therefore, does notpass beyond Europe, but stops on the shores of the Bosphorus,in sight of Asia. Another will take us to theNile and the Ganges, to Egypt and India, to Burmah andJava, to China and Japan.
It should be added, to explain an occasional personalallusion, that the writer was accompanied by his niece(who had lived so long in his family as to be like his ownchild), whose gentle presence cheered his lonely hours,and cast a soft and quiet light amid the shadows.
