Under the Southern Cross, or Travels in Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Samoa, and Other Pacific Islands (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Under the Southern Cross, or Travels in Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Samoa, and Other Pacific Islands
Dr. Johnson is reported to have said that the best way to travel is to sit by one's own fireside and read how others have done it; but though this may be the safest mode it certainly is not the pleasantest. This any travelled writer knows; and he also knows that could he succeed in adequately inspiring the reader with his accounts of the delights of foreign experiences, especially those of the grand, beautiful, and marvellous exhibitions of Nature, he would surely induce him to add to his own enjoyment by similar personal experiences. That there is a degree of pleasure in recording these observations we freely confess; but that one constantly feels how inadequate is language to convey a realizing sense of what is actually enjoyed in travel we must as freely admit.
