The Journey of General Gran
Around the World is one of th'
most remarkable events of moderI
history. He was everywhere re
ceived by both the sovereigns ant
people of the old world with The
highest honors, and his whole jour
ney was like a romance.
=, The book begins with an account
of General Grants departure from
Philadelphia, in the steamer "lndi
ana" and gives a pleasant account
of his voyage across the Atlantic,
and arrival in England. His recep
tion in that country, the distinguished
honors paid him by Queen Victoria,
and the enthusiastic welcome he met
with in all parts of England and
Scotland, are related in graphic
style. Then, taking them in their
regular order, the book narrates the
travels of General Grant in the
various countries of Europe, the
attentions and honors shown him by
the sovereigns and people of every
country he visited. 1t gives his
interviews with the statesmen Of the
old world in full. Then, leaving
Europe, the reader is taken to Egypt,
the Holy Land, India, Siam, China,
and Japan, and the travels of Gener-
al Grant in those interesting coun-
tries are related at length. The
manners and customs of these far
off Eastern people are brought be.
fore us with a vividness that is
actually life-like. We see the towns,
the people, the quaint customs, and
THE thousand and one habits OF
daily life in the East as plainly as
if we were looking on the scene
itself. 1t should be remembered
that General Grant enjoyed peculiar
advantages in his travels. The gov.
ernments of the countries he visited
afforded him every facility for ex
amining and studying the civiliza'
tion and institutions of their respec
tive countries. No other traveller
ever had such an opportunity o'
l seeing and learning SO much, and nc
crowned king was ever the recipient
of such great honors from foreign
powers as was the exPresident o.
the United States. These facts Civ;

attach to an ordinary work of travel
The mechanical execution of the
work is superb. 1t is a large octave
volume of more than 500 pages
illustrated with nearly 200 fine en-
cravings of the places visited b,
General Grant, and with fine new
steel engraving of the General him
self. These engravings are accurate
