This travel book detailed a trip by Clemens in 1867 aboard the USS Quaker City to Europe and the Holy Land. Clemens was a humorist and there is a fair dose of satire and other forms of humor. More copies of this book appear to have been sold during the author's lifetime than of any of his other books. It seems unlikely that many copies, complete or otherwise, of this cheap three volume Australian edition would have survived. Cheap Issue [statement in upper left corner on all three volumes).
