Aprašymas

"The successful accomplishment of a journey of nearly sixty thousand miles, made by a young woman, traveling alone, is calculated to excite wonder and admiration; and when the record of that journey is replete with original thought, the emanations of a bright intellect, it possesses a special interest. Lilian Leland, at the age of twenty-five, without premeditation or preparation, started upon a voyage which, unexpectedly, became the commencement of a journey which carried her around the world, to many lands and on many seas, from Cape Horn to theN orth Cape and from the Rocky Mountains to the Himalayas ;but little less than sixty thousand miles in distance and covering a period of about two years. She traveled without escort or protection except chance acquaintances met on the way. No woman has ever traveled so far alone, with the single exception of Ida Pfeiffer who went twice around the world. Next to Lilian Leland is I sabella Bird, whose admirable books have earned for her a well deserved fame. The ease and comfort with which Lilian Leland accomplished her remarkable journey, and the enjoyment she found in it, were doubtless greatly due to the fact that she possesses qualities specially adapted to such an experience. Although so fragile and petite that at twenty-five she had the physical appearance, as well as the diffidence and timidity of a girl of seventeen, she possessed an amount of nervous energy and a power of endurance seldom found in a womanR etiring and reserved in manner, she was, nevertheless, capable of facing the greatest possible danger without flinchingj or the most aggravating difficulty without annoyance. With a highly nervous organization which renders her keenly alive to everything calculated fo excite fear or irritability, she has a self control which enables her to meet every emergency with perfect composure."
