Excerpt from Address Delivered by A. A. Low, Esq.: Before Members of the Chamber of Commerce; At the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New-York, October 8th, 1867 To correct misapprehension - 40 moderate expectation, and to satisfy the wish of any who would be informed on these points, let me briefly sketch the story of my journey, and show how much time was spent on the sea, how much on the land, and how much in passing from place to place, in a hurried tour of five months prior to my landing in Sicily. With your permission I will speak in the plural number - as I may properly do - for my wife and son were my companions during the whole journey the other members of my family meeting us in Europe, and all returning home together.
