520			_a"Letters to the young from the Old World : Notes of travel" by Mrs. D. L. Miller is a collection of travel letters written in the late 19th century. Aimed at young readers, it recounts journeys across Europe and into the Bible Lands, blending vivid scenes of travel with gentle religious reflection and practical moral counsel. Expect ocean crossings, Scandinavian fjords, bustling markets, and sacred sites, all described in a warm, instructive voice. The opening of the volume includes an editor’s introduction explaining that the author’s popular letters, first written from memory for a youth periodical, were revised and gathered into this book at readers’ request. Chapter I follows a transatlantic voyage on the steamer Aller: tiny staterooms, seasickness, deck life with well- and ill-behaved children, anxious fogs and ice-watch, the drama of taking on a pilot, and the thrill of lights on the European shore. Chapter II moves through Bremen to Denmark and Sweden—clean Copenhagen, ever-present coffee and hymn-singing, a humble farmhouse meal (milk dipping and shared bone spoons), Malmo’s markets, the fishermen of Limhamn, lake-studded forests, courteous children with graceful bows, and a mother carrying her baby in a sling—ending with a brisk account of railway dining. Chapter III records a coastal cruise in Norway on the Kong Halfdan: serene fjords, a captain’s scenic detour to waterfalls and echoes, Tromsø’s eider ducks, encounters with Lapps and reindeer, the pierced peak of Torghatten, a salmon “trap,” Hammerfest’s fishy industries, a polar bear cub from Spitzbergen, a stern temperance lesson after a sailor’s drunken mishap, an Arctic gale, and a safe return after grazing rocks. Chapter IV opens by sketching the early hardships of a poor German boy destined for study (clearly foreshadowing Martin Luther) before the excerpt breaks off.
