All Round the World: an illustrated record of voyages, travels and adventures in all parts of the globe. Edited by W. F. Ainsworth

Preface

. It has not come to our cognizance, at tbe moment of our completing a First Volume of " All Round the World," bow far the noble young prince, shut up in a tower, benefited by the airy landscapes placed before his eyes by the benevolent fairy noticed iu our Prospectus. Our labours have been in another and more human sphere. We have had to cheer as well as to instruct the poor as well as the well-to-do and the well-informed, and to light up the sparks of inquiry in many a secluded corner, as well as to fan the flame of conscious strength iu less bashful quarters. It has come to our cognizance that we have been in many instances successful, even beyond our hopes, in conveying pleasure, in imparting a new train of ideas, and in opening new veins of thought among many whom it is a far greater satisfaction to us to have allured from an unhealthy to a wholesome literature, than it would have been even to win the smiles of a youthful prince.

It was a perfectly novel experiment in this country to attempt to so far popularise knowledge as to bring ponderous Geography — an idea associated with unending great big tomes, as bulky and as repulsive as Siberian mountains — bghtly, pleasantly, picturesquely, and yet truthfully and intelligently, before the whole community. We felt certain — and experience has proved the correctness of our surmises — that the land in which the semi-fabulous Sindbad of the Arabian story, the Robinson Crusoe of our own native romance of travel, and the glorious, albeit dreamy progress of the wondrous Pilgrim, could be so ardently appreciated ; where Cook and Mirngo Park are household heroes ; where the spirit of travel and adventure is as the Use's blood, at which every pulse, save that of the sluggard and of the dolt, beats high ; and where the national characteristic of enterprise and perseverance has constituted us what we are ; was not the one that from its humblest homes to the more gifted fire-sides would not welcome a first attempt to supplant that fiction with which most educations commence, by those truths, which might be made quite as palatable if only pleasantly treated and picturesquely set forth.

There is surely no positive necessity that truth should be harsh and angular in outline and formidable in aspect. Some, from long adherence to old-established conceits, do not bebeve in truths that come in an agreeable, pleasing, or seductive form ; they repel such just as they would the allurements of the Sirens of old. Like Ulysses and his companions, they stop their ears with wax, and tie themselves to the masts of their domestic decks to avoid imaginary dangers. Prejudices like these will, like many other ideas of " good old times," gradually melt away before the warmth of a genial age prone to be pleased as well as taught. This old-standing prejudice has indeed had its origin mainly in the received notion that truth cannot be rendered acceptable by Art, without some sacrifice of its essential purity and perfection.

But this is an error which the very progress of Art itself ought to have corrected, for albeit Art cannot surpass Nature, it can so select, and grasp, and bring into combination its more pleasing aspects, as to make even Nature itself more charming. So it is with literature as applied to knowledge ; it can, without one single sacrifice of correctness to effect, or any false and surreptitious colouring or display, make knowledge itself pleasant to contemplate, most agreeable to associate with, and more loveable than the VI

PREFACE.

. fiction that palls, because it leaves the intellect dissatisfied : it has been temporarily excited, but self upbraiding conscience never fails to whisper— at the expense of time. Nothing has been gained by the excitement. The thought? of an universal humanity turn to the Holy Land. It is the cradle of mankind, the emanation of light, the land of the Gospel. To this favoured soil we therefore first turned our steps. We took our readers to the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, and down into the dark depths of the Brook Kidron ; we wandered with them in the footsteps of our Saviour from Bethlehem to Nazareth ; together we attended at the absurdities enacted in modern times at the Holy Sepulchre ; and together we cleansed ourselves from the pollution at the glorious Jordan. But we have left much undone.

The Assyrian sun shines over many sites hallowed by associations of old, and endeared by past reminiscences, to which we shall hope, in all gladness and pleasant companionship, to return ere long. Our ways also lay with the ways of the world. In times of blessed peace they will be with the honest merchantman and the lonely traveller, but they have lain at our onset in the track of gory but justifiable war. The persecutions of a gloomy tyrant aroused a people of glorious traditions to throw off the hated yoke, and we followed in the train of a nascent liberty, to depict the scenes presented when the dawn of a new era should light up, with its heart-stirring gleam, the homes of the present and the rebcs of the past in Sicily — one of the most beautiful islands on the surface of the waters. But here, too, much has been left undone ' that favoured island is a museum of antiquities, a palace of art, and a world in itself of untold natural curiosities and beauties.

Again, our ways lay with the ways of the world, and we had to follow friends and relatives in arms, and their gallant allies, to far-off Cathay. We had on our way to visit that great emporium of British commerce in the remote East — Hong-Kong — Macao, emblem of a once powerful and enterprising Colonial power; turbulent Canton, now held down by the nations of the West. The Chinese and Tartars, arrayed against one another in civil war, were also sketched on our way, along the course of the great rivers of the once-flowery, but now much-harrassed empire ; and yet we reached Pekin, in company with the armed bands of Celts and Saxons. The spoil of palaces and the cementing of a treacherous peace will not repay the price of the good blood ignominiously spilt at that "willow pattern city." With the progress of time, the march of events, and the more pleasant invasion of industry and commerce, we, too, will walk back again into the heart of the un-celestial empire.

Our gallant allies have selected to locate themselves right between India and China, in that great peninsula, which, watered by two little known yet great and navigable rivers, stretches out into the Sea of China. It is not a wholesome land, and the people are a betel-chewing, bigoted, and hostile race, among whom the French will find it, with sickness superadded, a difficult matter to prosper ■ Algeria will be as a paradise compared to the swamps of Saigon and the vexations at Turan • but there is much that is curious to unfold ; and the richly-wooded and fertile lands of Cambogia, and the Cave Temples of Annam, successively invited the best efforts of our pens and pencils. And then there was Japan, — that land of a populous, industrious, commercial, intelligent com munity, secluded at the antipodes from the rest of the world, but now by the grace of an Omniscient Providence brought, with its sister empire, Chma, within the pale of a common humanity.

There was time before us, but we hastened to anticipate the impatience of our readers by giving some account of these realms, so recently opened to commerce and to intercommunication ; and we shall hope to return

. VII to give more detailed accounts of a land so peculiarly rich in contrasts, both social and material, to what the nations of the West are accustomed to. Ceylon, where we landed for a moment, and joined in an elephant hunt, led the way cheerily to the Indian and Eastern Seas. Wooded Nikobar, lying like a giant rock-bird's nest, bathed in warm and pellucid waters, and the cruel Andamans next followed on the road to another monument of British enterprise — Singapore ; and thence, by coffee-producing and coffee-monopolising Java, we reached a mysterious scene — yet a most truthful one — the Enchanted Lake op the Phillipixes — a little nook of wood and water, strangely infested by alligators and flying foxes. Feet grew firm, sledge-dogs yelped, and steeds neighed, as we started on a still more venturesome pilgrimage, partly in company with our countryman, Atkinson, partly in that of enterprising Musco vites, over the great uplands and by the vast lakes of Central Asia, and then along the long Valley of the Amoor — the future highway of nations from west to east, and then again from cast to west, from the Old to the New World, and from the New to the Old World, and so round the terrestrial orbit.

And so we, too, have viewed it, for by a natural and reasonable sequence, we crossed the ocean, not, however, strange to say, to lose sight of ubiquitous British interests, but to land at the new British port, city, and metropolis and the future emporium of Victoria, in Vancouver ; thence to follow the gold-strewed paths and the fertile valleys of Frazer's and Thompson's Rivers, — the future centres of a great Columbian colony, — across the Rocky Mountains, lately severed by British enterprise, and down the Saskatchewan's, to where — in Rupert's Land — around lake and river, a future central colony of British America will perforce one day arise, and that on, what is strange to say, the only bell of fertde land that crosses the continent of North America from west to east. In thus presenting a picture of what has been done, in order to render that which remains to be accomplished the more manifest, it must be understood that such records of travel, and such descriptions as may follow upon them, are by no means intended for one particular class of readers only ; " All Round the World " would very imperfectly answer the intention of its founders, if it was not as varied and as universal as its own objects are ; and they are the truthful and animated spectacle of nature and of human life over the whole surface of the Globe.

Among travellers some represent science, others art, others commerce and industry ; some expose themselves to a thousand perils and dangers to propagate the Gospel ; others are simply observers, who only seek, in travel, for the excitement of an adventurous and wandering existence. All these diverse classes, however frivolous some of them may be in appearance, have their interest, and what is more, their practical utility : " All Round the World " will, therefore, exclude none : it views, with indifference, only those narratives and those details whicli have no foundation in nature and in truth, and which are, therefore, valueless and insecure. One of our first and most ardent wishes is to conciliate the esteem of good and true men. Never, if we can help it, shall a false representation, an incorrect statement, or the mere playfulness of a vain imagination pass muster.

Already, with such stern purposes in view, we are happy to be able to say that we have received the expressed willingness, on the part of many distinguished travellers, to place such documents at our disposal as may be useful to us and acceptable to the public. This, with the truly kind reception which we have met with, have encouraged us greatly in our labours. Our success has indeed been greater than our most ardent ambition ventured to anticipate. This will

. give new zest to our endeavours. The field is vast — we may say boundless. Not only is the earth as yet not wholly known, but many portions, which have been supposed to have been explored, are dail y found to have been so most imperfectly. Our position is that of the " Wandering Jew," and the soil will never fail beneath our feet, no more than our zeal shall be found flagging or wanting. Less shackled in our destiny, however, than that legendary type of a mediæval traveller, we constitute part of the age in which we live — we bring the railroad and the steamship to our help; and we return laden with the spoils of Asia, Africa, and America, to pour them into the laps of indulgent friends, while we help them to while away a pleasant hour in the narrative of our trials and perplexities, sometimes of our anxieties and sufferings, almost always, however, relieved by the descriptions of a diversified art and humanity ; and, above all, of the wonders which it has pleased the great Creator to distribute so bounteously over the face of the Globe.

There is no interest, even in Geography, unless it be to ajapreciate the wisdom and goodness of His works. W. F. A. Hammersmith, February, 1S6I. INDEX. r-AGE FIVE DAYS AT JERUSALEM.
