About this book

Westward from the United States, Maturin M. Ballou travelled round the world in ten months, and this is his account. The opening chapter crosses the continent through Utah and the Sierra Nevada to San Francisco, then visits Yosemite and the great trees of California before the voyage over the Pacific. Japan takes the next chapters: Yokohama, Kamakura, the temples at Nikko, Kyoto, Osaka and Nagasaki. The route then goes on to Hong Kong.

Ballou, an American editor and author, says in the preface that he hopes to pass on some of the pleasure of the trip. This is the third edition.
