Excerpt from The Alps and the Rhine: A Series of SketchesIN the present work I have not designed to make a book of travels, but give a series of sketches Of the Alpine portion of Switzerland, and the scenery along the Rhine. In writing Of Switzerland, I have omitted almost altogether notices of the character of the people, except Of those occupying the valleys of the Alps. Neither have I spoken Of the chief cities and towns of the country, except to make a passing remark. I excluded all such matter, because I wished, if possible, to give a definite idea Of the scenery Of the Alps. Having an unconquerable desire from my boyhood to see the land of Tell and Winkelried, I had read everything I could lay hold of, that would give me clear conceptions of the wonderful scenery it embraces, yet I found that my imagination had never approached the reality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
