On one of his visits to Rome he had a private audience of the pope, during which they discussed Dante and quoted from the Divine Comedy, to their mutual gratification. On another he crossed the Black Sea, and, after visiting Tiflis, went north through the Caucasus to Nijni-Novgorod, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Warsaw. On still another he took in Constantinople, Brusa, the Levant, and Jerusalem. After his return from these Eastern journeys, he wrote several letters for the Sun, in which he gave an account of his travels and observations. These having been somewhat out of the usual, were subsequently collected and published in a small but interesting volume which is still on sale. Eastern Journeys-Notes of Travel, etc. pp. 114. By Charles A. Dana. D. Appleton & Co., New York, 1898.
