Front pastedown contains the 19th century bookplate of Annie C. Nutting, second front end page has a signature in pencil of J. S. Nutting. No other handwriting found.

A determined opponent of the spread of slavery in the years leading up to the American Civil War, he was a prominent figure in the Republican Party in its formative years, and was praised for his work on behalf of the Union as Secretary of State during the Civil War. He also negotiated the treaty for the United States to purchase the Alaska Territory. William H. Seward's Travels Around The World (1873) is a book written by William Henry Seward, an American politician who served as the Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln and President Andrew Johnson.

The book is divided into several parts, each of which covers a different leg of Seward's journey. The first part covers his travels through Europe, including visits to England, France, Italy, and Germany. Seward provides detailed descriptions of the various sights he saw, including historic landmarks, museums, and natural wonders. The second part of the book covers Seward's travels through Asia, including visits to India, China, and Japan. Seward provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultures and customs of these countries, as well as their political and economic systems. The third part of the book covers Seward's travels through the Middle East, including visits to Egypt, Palestine, and Turkey. Seward provides a detailed account of his experiences in these countries, including his interactions with local leaders and his observations on the region's history and culture. Throughout the book, Seward provides a unique perspective on the world in the late 19th century, including the political and social issues of the time. He also reflects on the role of the United States in the world and its relations with other countries. Overall, William H. Seward's Travels Around The World (1873) is a fascinating and insightful account of one man's journey around the world during a time of great change and upheaval. It provides a valuable historical perspective on the world in the late 19th century and is a must-read for anyone interested in travel, history, or politics. This is a scarce antiquarian book.
