SO great was this popular interest that one of the leading journals Of the country sent its most able correspondent to travel with him, and report the record of his daily life abroad. These reports, however, coming at intervals of greater or less extent, were naturally disconnected, and there is a universal and recognized demand for a connected and continuous narrative of this great journey, which shall give in a more extended form than was possible in newspaper correspondence, an account Of General Grant's travels, and such information concerning the places he visited and the persons he met, as may be necessary to a proper understanding Of the story. Such a work is Offered to the public in the present volume, in which the movements of General Grant are related day by day from the time he left Philadelphia for Liverpool until his arrival at San Francisco.
