My Trip Around the
World

BY

ELEONORA HUNT

AUGUST, 1895--MAY, 1896

PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR THE AUTHOR
CHICAGO
1902

DEDICATED TO MY
GRANDSONS

_John and Hunt Wentworth_

_Introduction._

_I must acknowledge that I hesitate to place this manuscript in print.
It has been a struggle for me in my declining days, with impaired health
and imperfect vision; but my desire is that my grandsons, John and Hunt
Wentworth, to whom I dedicate this book, may glean from its leaves some
knowledge and, perhaps, it may create a desire to take the same trip
some day, having first gained for themselves a storehouse of knowledge
with which they may be enabled to see the Orient and other foreign lands
with a greater degree of appreciation. By that time, the "Problems of
the Far East" may have been solved, and light divine will shine in the
dark places._

_If a few copies find their way into the hands of friends, those who
know me well will have charity, as they know the difficulties I have had
to surmount in accomplishing the work._
