About this book

Twelve pieces by Robert Louis Stevenson, chosen and arranged by his friend Sidney Colvin from magazine work written before Stevenson left for the South Seas. The title piece, taken from an emigrant's notebook, follows the crossing from New York to San Francisco by emigrant train, opening on a crowded ferry depot in the rain. Others include The Old Pacific Capital, Fontainebleau, Random Memories, The Lantern-bearers, A Chapter on Dreams, Beggars, Pulvis et Umbra and A Christmas Sermon. The book is dedicated to Paul Bourget, with a note signed from Vailima in Samoa.
