Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land of Sunshine and Gold The following pages contain the simple record of a tour round the world which the writer made for health's sake. The story he tells was originally written in popular lecture form; and, with very few alterations, it now appears as it was delivered before friendly audiences in Tynemouth and newcastle-upon-tyne. This will explain the style adopted in its preparation; and if apology be needed for its publication in a more permanent shape, the author can only say that he has allowed himself to be persuaded by generous personal friends, who assure him that others besides themselves will be interested in its perusal. May they be true prophets! The writer makes no pretensions to literary merit. All that he claims for his unpretending little book is that it faithfully describes, in a plain and homely fashion, his observations, impressions, and experiences while voyaging round the world, and during his brief sojourn in the Land of Sunshine and Gold.
