Book excerpt: Excerpt from By-Ways of Europe The cause of my having travelled so extensively has been due to a succession of circumstances, of a character more or less accidental. My prolonged wanderings formed no part of my youthful programme of life. I cannot dis connect my early longings for a knowledge of the Old World from a still earlier passion for Art and Literature. To the latter was added a propensity, which I have never unlearned, of acquiring as much knowledge as possible through the medium of my own experience rathe. Than toaccept it, unquestioned, from anybody else. When I first set out for Europe I was still a boy, and less acquainted with life than most boys Of my age.
