Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Cities of Europe Second Series Rouen, the ancient capital of Normandy, is a big manufacturing centre, full of life and bustle, as well as a most picturesque city with splendid Gothic and Renaissance buildings. It lies principally on the right bank of the Seine with hills rising behind it. It is connected with the faubourg of St. Sever by a stone and a suspension bridge, and a railway viaduct. The river has been deepened, and docks and quays built to make a large and flourishing port. The old walls and moats have been destroyed to give place to fine boulevards, which, as well as the handsome quays, are full of life and movement. This combination, or rather contrast, of mediaeval and modern life is full of charm and never fails to fascinate the traveller from the New World. Among the old houses and fine specimens of architecture modern shops display articles that tempt the tourist. Here is a jeweller's shop; here, an antique shop; here old silver is offered; here, china; and here the fine cotton goods, rouenneries, for which Rouen is so famous.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Great Cities, for Young Travelers and Others Northwestern Europe After the battle of Hastings, the Londoners at first successfully resisted William the Conqueror, but soon thought it wise to submit. William needed a strong hold to overawe the citizens; and the White Tower was commenced in 1078. In 1083 St. Paul's was also begun on the site Of the Old church founded by Ethelbert in 610. The City was now swarming with Norman settlers. It suffered many calamities. In 1077 occurred such a fire as never was before since London was founded. Ten years later, another fire consumed the greatest and fairest part of the whole City. In 1090, also, a hurricane destroyed many churches and six hundred houses. London rapidly became rich and powerful. It was the support of the City that enabled Stephen to hold his own against Matilda. In 1176, London Bridge was rebuilt with stone. In 1189, the first mayor was elected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From French Travel The great cities of Europe, in Rome (old or New), in Athens, in Venice or Florence, in Cologne, hardly in Rheims or Rouen. Such cities can belong to him only as they belong to countless others. But a smaller city, known perhaps before by name and little more, when it has been once examined in this way, becomes a kind of possession. The central French cities have special opportunities in this way. Every one has a history; few have, what so many Italian cities have, an European history; but all have a history of some kind - a history which has an interest, especially when spelled out on the spot among the monuments of the spot. Each city had its bishops; most of them had counts or other lords. And the doings of those bishops and counts are pleas ant to study, at all events under the shadow of their own churches and castles. There were municipalities also, and there is a certain satisfaction in an age of monotonous prefects and mayors, when one finds for oneself, from some epitaph or other inscription, that the magistrates of one town were consuls, those of another those of a third eapz'louls. A few days' ex amination of this kind will not of course put the tra veller on a level with the local antiquary in point of local information. But such an examination, carried on in several places, will perhaps open to the inquirer some things in each place which the local antiquary fails to see. He will actually know far less, of each place than he who has given his life to the study of that place; but he will be better able than the man who has studied one place only to compare one city with another, and to mark at a glance what is most truly characteristic of.

The Binnen-Alster is perfectly square, about a mile in circumference and surrounded on three sides by wide quays bordered with trees, handsome dwellings and magnificent hotels. The quay called the Alte-Jungfernstieg is the gayest and busiest; on its left is the N cue-Jungfernstieg and on its right is the Alsterdamm; while, directly opposite the Alte-Jungfernstieg, and separating the Binnen-Alster from the outer lake, is an embankment consisting of two parks, or promenades, connected by a bridge called the Lombardsbrilcke. A beautiful view is to be had from this bridge, looking north across the Ausser-Alster, with its rising banks, on which the villas of the wealthy with their parks and gardens are thickly sprinkled; and, looking south across the Binnen-Alster, gay with little boats and floating swans, to the city whose buildings and towers make such a pretty picture. At the end of the Old J ungfernstieg the Alster-Pavillion is situated, --a cafe that is to Hamburg what the Bratwurstgliickle is to Nuremburg and the H ofbrdw haus to Munich. On the right of the Old J ungfernstieg are the Alster Arcades, a street running parallel with the little Alster that flows in from the lake and filled with attractive shops. The Alster Arcades extend from the Reesendammbrilcke to the Schleusenbriicke, two bridges that run parallel with the Old Jungfernstieg. " The picture seen from the Alster," exclaims an artist, "is harmonious in line and picturesque in composition with the mass of many slender towers artistically distributed in a fine frame composed of beautiful groups of buildings. Naturally, you must select your point of view in order to see it embedded in green. If we are in a boat on the Outer Alster we see the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pleasant Memories of Foreign Travel Most of the large cities of Europe attained their full growth ages ago, hence they appear to-day much the same as in past centuries, with the exception of having expanded their limits by absorbing adjacent territory. Towns and cities in America are often the growth of a few years, but it is not so in the Old World, where time was needed for their development. There antiquity is venerated; here it is frequently regarded with indifference. Mistakes and faults are common to both hemi spheres but frequent communication between the two will in time correct many of these errors, and bring the nations into a more familiar acquaintance with one another. It requires weeks and months to explore and study the rich treasures of art found in the museums of any one great city, for which a special preparation is needed. One should be familiar with the history of the country or city to be visited, and should know what objects of interest are to be seen. He should understand the history of the fine arts, including architecture, and where the works of the great masters are to be found.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cities of Italy As you know, and, I sometimes think, regret, I am one of those for whom the visible world exists, very actively; and, for me, cities are like people, with souls and temperaments of their own, and it has always been one of my chief pleasures to asso ciate with the souls and temperaments congenial to me among cities. And as love, or it may be hate, can alone reveal soul to soul, among human beings, so, it seems to me, the soul of a city will reveal itself only to those who love, or, perhaps, hate it, with a far-sighted emotion. I have come upon many cities which have left me indifferent, perhaps through some accident in my way of approach; at any rate, they had nothing to say to me: Madrid, for instance, and Vienna, and St. Petersburg, and Berlin. It would be impossible for me to write about these cities: I should have nothing to say. But certain other cities, Rome, Venice, Seville, how I have loved them, what a delight it was to me merely to be alive, and living in the and what a delight it is to me to think of them, ta) imagine myself in their streets and on their waters! Moscow, Naples how I have hated them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Continental Towns The story of Rome is a mighty chronicle of such deep importance towards an understanding of the growth of Europe, that a feeling almost of helplessness assails me as I essay to set down in this limited space an account of the city's ancient grandeur and of its monuments. It is with a sense of awe that one enters Rome. The scene gives birth to so much re ection, the pulse quickens, the imagination is stirred by the annals of Pompey and Caesar, and the mighty names that resound in the history of the wonder ful capital; while the ruins of the days of power and pomp are as solemn tokens of the fate of all great civilisations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I say the Catholic "conscience" of history--I say "conscience"--that is, an intimate knowledge through identity: the intuition of a thing which is one with the knower--I do not say "The Catholic Aspect of History." This talk of "aspects" is modern and therefore part of a decline: it is false, and therefore ephemeral: I will not stoop to it.
