  1. Describing a Tour around the World and Journeys Through Europe. William Jennings Bryan, gifted speaker, lawyer, three-time presidential candidate, and devout Protestant. This volume is a permanent and convenient form of the observations Bryan made during his travels around the world, which was taken in the company of his wife and two younger children. The book begins: There is rest in an ocean voyage. The receding shores shut out the hum of the busy world; the expanse of water soothes the eye by its very vastness; the breaking of the waves is music to the ear and there is medicine for the nerves in the salt sea breezes that invite to sleep. At first one is disturbed-sometimes quite so-by the motion of the vessel. but this passes away so completely that before many days the dipping of the ship is really enjoyable and one finds a pleasure in ascending the hills and descending the valleys into which the deck sometimes seems to be converted. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
