Excerpt from All Round the World: Adventures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America

Various were our successes that day we brought down a blackbird and thrush, while I winged a house-sparrow. Then with our game and the gun dismembered we stealthily, like guilty marauders, sought the awe-inspiring school-precincts. Shooting was, you may suppose, the sole subject of that evening's conversation. Those who had been so fortunate as to kill were heroes those who had missed were never tired asking for details which might ensure success.

Excerpt from All Round the World: Adventures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America

The following narratives, relating my adventures by flood and in all quarters of the world, were so well received by the public when produced some years ago, that I have presumed to hope this corrected and improved edition may obtain fresh favour from critics as well as general readers.

There are sceptics who pronounce my adventures imaginary, but in that they are wrong. The only thing I have done is to slightly alter the order in which they have occurred, so as to take the reader progressively from scene to scene. Finally, in retiring, I feel confident that my juvenile readers, when they visit the places described, will endorse what I have, said of their general appearance.
