Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1888, by in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. J. W RAEDER, BINDER, 7 & 9 MARKET ST., WILKES-BARRE, PA. TO THE COMRADES OF MY YOUTH, WHOSE COMPANIONSHIP CHEERED ME; TO THE ASSOCIATES OF MY EARLY MANHOOD, WHOSE CONFIDENCE STRENGTHENED ME; AND TO THE FRIENDS OF MY MATURE YEARS, WHOSE PATRONAGE HAS ENABLED ME TO TRAVEL AND WRITE, THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. PRESS NOTICES. From Editor J. C. Powell, of the Wilkes-Barré Record, and Published in the Issue of Dec. 13th, 1888: I met Mr. Linskill, author and editor, the other day, and he told me his new book would soon make its appearance. I predict for the volume a large sale as soon as it is launched. Mr. Linskill is a good descriptive writer and while abroad he traveled with his eyes and ears wide open. The letters that he sent to the Telephone were very interesting, and they gave him ample scope for the exercise of his literary powers; but his book will be still more interesting, for he has had time since his return to scan his note-book carefully and to search for the buried treasures of his mind. I am not surprised that Judge Harding, in ordering a copy of the forthcoming book, should predict that it would prove so interesting and valuable that it would supplant in his library a place hitherto occupied by some of the rarest gems in English liter ature. From the Plymouth Star :- Charles D. Linskill, of the Wilkes-Barré Telephone, is arranging his letters from Europe, which were originally published in his paper (where they attracted a great deal of attention and were most favorably commented upon), for publication in book form. The price will * * * Mr. * * * be two dollars, which places it within the reach of all. Linskill's letters have been highly praised and their publication in book form urged by many prominent men. Nov. 8th, 1888. From the Evening Leader, Wilkes-Barré, Pa. : MR. LINSKILL'S BOOK SOON TO BE ISSUED. “Travels in Lands Beyond the Sea; or, the Beauty and Glory of Western Europe,” is the title under which Mr. C. D. Linskill will soon lay before the public a detailed history of his journeyings abroad. They will constitute a book of over four hundred pages, and those who have read his foreign correspondence to the Telephone, of which he is one of the editors, well know how to appreciate the forthcoming work. He has received flattering testimonials from clergymen, judges and other professional men of note, and indications point to a very large sale. From the Wilkes-Barré Telegram: or, Mr. C. D. Linskill's new book, entitled In Lands Beyond the Sea; the Beauty and Glory of Western Europe," is a most interesting book and a copy of it should be in every household. The price asked for it is extremely low. The author is well and favorably known to nearly every person in Luzerne county. From the Wilkes-Barré News-Dealer :-- Mr. Charles D. Linskill, the versatile writer, is editing an interesting book which will be given to the public in a short time. Its title will be “Travels in Lands Beyond the Sea; or, the Beauty and Glory of Western Europe." We have read with much interest Mr. Linskill's recent letters from Europe, which were not only very interesting, but instructive as well. We predict a large sale for the new book. From the Sunday World: Editor Linskill, of the Telephone, is writing a book entitled “ Travels in Lands Beyond the Sea," which is shortly to appear.
