“One of the most famous books of travel ever printed in this country. The book is less known to readers of this generation than it should be, and we advise those who are not acquainted with its charm to adopt this opportunity of making its acquaintance.”—Christian Union, New York City.
“Views Afoot is a book of travel which is nearly as interesting now, as when it first appeared over forty years ago. Taylor was a splendid sight-seer and a rare recounter of his experiences. This new edition is one of Alden’s efforts to bring good literature within the reach of the poorest reader.”—Interior, Chicago, Ill.
