As in the\u003cbr\u003epreceding volumes of the series, brief geographical descriptions of the\u003cbr\u003ecountry visited are given, with a sketch of its history, and of whatever\u003cbr\u003emay be peculiar or interesting in its manners and customs. The travellers\u003cbr\u003eenter Germany by the way of Strasburg, and visit Freiburg, Schaffhausen,\u003cbr\u003eConstance, Friedrichshafen, Ulm, Stuttgart, Carlsruhe, Darmstadt,\u003cbr\u003eBaden-Baden, Heidelberg, Frankfurt, Mayence, Bingen, Bonn, Coblenz,\u003cbr\u003eCologne, Dusseldorf, and Aix-la-Chapelle; but only the most interesting\u003cbr\u003efeatures of these places are noticed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story part of the volume relates mostly to a trip of the squadron\u003cbr\u003efrom Havre to Brest, and the cruise of the Josephine up the Mediterranean,\u003cbr\u003ein which the writer has endeavored to show that even injustice is not to\u003cbr\u003ebe redressed by resorting to evil deeds; and he is quite sure that the\u003cbr\u003esympathies of his readers will always be with the members of the \"Order\u003cbr\u003eof the Faithful.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the author has before had occasion gratefully to acknowledge, the\u003cbr\u003esuccess of this series has far exceeded his anticipations; and in bringing\u003cbr\u003ethe first series to a close, he again returns his thanks to his friends,\u003cbr\u003eyoung and old, who have so often and so earnestly encouraged him in his\u003cbr\u003eagreeable labors,--all the more agreeable because they are so generously\u003cbr\u003eappreciated. He intends, during the coming year, to make another trip to\u003cbr\u003eEurope, for the purpose of visiting all the countries mentioned in the\u003cbr\u003etitles of the second series; for he is not inclined to write about any\u003cbr\u003ecountry until he has seen it. If no unforeseen event intervenes to defeat\u003cbr\u003ehis plans, the remaining volumes of YOUNG AMERICA ABROAD will soon follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHARRISON SQUARE, MASS.,\u003cbr\u003eOctober 28, 1869.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER                                                    PAGE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    I.
