Excerpt from The Travels and Adventures of Celebrated Travelers in the Principal Countries of the World Tee whole world are now near neighbors. Only a short time since, he who had circumnavigated the globe was looked upon with wonder, as among the favored of mortals. Now, he whose dwelling is the nearest to your own, may, within a few months, have visited the uttermost parts of the earth, and the fact not considered sufficiently novel for your knowledge. With rapidly increasing intercourse all the world is changing. Commerce, the great civilizer, is introducing us to everybody and everybody to us. Such a general shaking of hands never was before seen since Father Time commenced his travels. Such a universal interchange of ideas never entered the conception of the wisest of the ancients. Such a magnificent clearing was never before opened to the Pioneer in Enterprise. Everybody is learning something from everybody. Civilized nations are consequently growing more liberal and more humane, and those not civilized are fast becoming so.
