| Summary | "Seven Legs Across the Seas: A Printer's Impressions of Many Lands" by Samuel Murray is a travel narrative likely written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the author's adventures as he embarks on a global journey, focusing particularly on his experiences in various countries after purchasing a steamship ticket to Buenos Aires, Argentina. It offers insights into diverse cultures and landscapes, as well as the author's reflections on his life as a printer and traveler. The opening of the book introduces Samuel Murray as he prepares for a significant journey aboard a passenger ship, detailing his excitement and the preparations he has made for his travels. He reflects on his earlier experiences of traveling by freight trains and his shift to passenger travel as he has grown older. The narrative hints at his passion for exploration and adventure, as he recounts previous trips across North America and Europe, and elaborates on his current voyage that will take him across the Atlantic and into South America. This initial portion sets the stage for a series of observations and experiences that will unfold throughout the journey, establishing both the traveler’s background and the anticipation of the discoveries that lie ahead.
