About this book
The Youthful Wanderer, by Geo. H. Heffner, is an account of a tour through England, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany and the Rhine, Switzerland, Italy, and Egypt. The tour is described as adapted to the wants of young Americans taking their first glimpses at the Old World. The preface says it had been fashionable among the ancients for men of learning to visit distant countries and improve their education by traveling, after they had completed their various courses of study in literary institutions.
One entry notes that Mr. Beecher's voice is so clear and powerful that he can be readily understood in the most distant parts of the house. The writer spends the remainder of the day at Greenwood Cemetery, where guide books containing all the carriage roads and foot-paths of the burial ground are sold at or near the gate. The text describes the Academie Nationals de Musique, or French Opera-house, as covering 140 metres by 122 and having seats for 2,520 spectators.
