Excerpt from A Woman's World Tour in a Motor In presenting this book, I make a direct appeal to my readers. Many and elaborate works of travel are already at the disposal of the reading public; but it may be that I have a story to tell which will engage the interest of folk who care for the unusual, the romantic, the practical and the adventurous. I expect favors from flippant reviewers of the sort whose aim is to appear smart - often at the expense of truthfulness, and always at the expense of gentleness. From readers generally, 1 crave the same consideration which I shall give to them in the following pages. If I tell my story fairly, accurately, without exaggeration, and win the attention of readers whose humanity and interest in all things human I count one with my own, I shall be happy. It is perfectly true that I run an anvil and vise factory in Trenton, New Jersey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
