From the opening paragraph, "What the great Napoleon thought when he gazed for the first time across the broad valley that lay at his feet, and caught the first dazzling light that flashed from the white walls and golden cupolas of the Kremlin -- whether some shadowy sense of the wondrous beauties of the scene did not enter his soul -- is more than I can say with certainty; but this much I know, that neither he nor his legions could have enjoyed the view from Sparrow Hill more than I did the first glimpse of the grand old city of the Czars as I stepped from the railroad depot, with my knapsack on my back, and stood, a solitary and bewildered waif, uncertain if it could all be real; for never yet had I, in the experience of many years' travel, seen such a magnificent sight, so wildly Tartaric, so strange, glowing, and incomprehensible."

From the introduction: "J.Ross Browne, author of YUSEF, CRUSOE'S ISLAND, THE LAND OF THOR, etc., is well-known for the humorous vein of many of his productions. Such is the case with AN AMERICAN FAMILY IN GERMANY, from which we make the following selection. It is at once humorous and instructive. The extract given, however, is simply descriptive, having too much of interest in itself to need any adventitious aid. The mine described may serve in a measure as an artificial counterpart to our natural Mammoth Cave. Descent into the mine was made by means of a long rope with canvas straps for seats. There is a stairway cut in solid rock-salt but it is wet and slippery and the rope is usually chosen in preference.".
