Synopsis
Excerpt from From Shetland to British Columbia, Alaska, and the United States: Being a Journal of Travels, With Narrative of Return Journey After, Three Years' Exploration
Some years ago, I had an opportunity of travelling round the world, leaving London in a sailing ship going out by the Cape of Good Hope, and after' visiting Australia I returned to England by Cape Horn. After that, I delivered lectures in Edinburgh and other large towns in Scotland about what I had seen and heard while on the voyage, and reports of the lecture appearing in various newspapers being much in my favour, I ventured to publish the whole of my notes in book form. That venture having become a success, it has encouraged me to publish my travels from Shetland to British Columbia, Alaska, and the United States of America. I spent three years in accomplishing the journey, a portion of my time having been occupied in visiting relatives and other friends.
