Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Beatty's Tour in Europe," in Foreign Lands: Or "Europe as I Saw It" It has always been my desire to view the scenes celebrated for their antiquity and renown, to gaze upon the sepulchres of Kings, the crumbling ruins of ancient palaces, to breath, amid the towering summit of the Alps, the air where majestic sublimity reigns supreme; or deep in subterranean caverns of the earth, look upon the sarcophagus of Prophets, Priests and Kings, and, approaching, read hieroglyphics that still withstand the shock of time. All these mighty antiquities of ancient renown lay enshrined in traditions whose origin is lost in the dust of centuries. To me, the iron finger of time traces, amid the ashes and debris of ages, lessons written in an imperishable language: "Day unto day uttereth speech And night unto night showeth forth knowledge." Lessons which all the nations of the earth can read, teaching mankind the immutability of our great Creator, and immortality of the soul. "For though Heaven and Earth pass away, The word of the Lord endureth forever." To you, dear friends, I trust they may awaken the same emotions, and to whom I present these pages as a slight memento of my regard and esteem.
