Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles of a Physician, Vol. 1 of 2: Or a Midsummer Dream The following pages claim to be nothing more than a hasty record of the thoughts passing through the mind, and a description of the events occurring and objects beheld, during an absence in Europe of four months. I make no apologies for contradictions, changes of opinion, or the different moods they exhibit, as these are the necessary accompaniments, I believe, of a mind open to conviction, or for the reception of additional light. No man can be the same to-morrow that he is to-day; consequently the apparent inconsistencies of the letters are allowed to remain as they were written, because they indicate, to me, at least, the various changes of mental attitude naturally produced by passing rapidly from one state of civilization or its opposite to another. I make no pretension to infallibility of judgment, neither do I offer apology for opinions about pictures, people, or places which may be contrary to the usual modes of comment. I have simply attempted to put upon record my honest convictions about the things that I have observed, and will merely add that if these had not been different from what is usually found in books of travel, they would not have been printed. If there is nothing new in them, they have no right to exist. Those of my readers who have trodden the same paths will understand best the difficulties in the way. To those who desire to visit the same scenes, I trust that I may be of some assistance; and to those who never expect to travel, I hope to afford interest and pleasure.
