Excerpt from Travel Notes of an Octogenarian
HE SE random notes are printed not for their literary value but in the hope they may, in a way, act as an inspiration for the old.
We are accustomed to look on old age as a desert of inactivity and dull monotony. This record proves that it can be shot through with thrills and enthusiasms that might well be envied by vigorous youth.
