Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Impressions in Switzerland and the North of Italy: Taken From the Notes of a Pour Months Tour During the Summer of 1852, Together With Some Preliminary Remarks on the Religious State of These Countries It certainly appears a bold thing to publish a journal, at this time of day, regarding countries, every nook and corner of which have been ransacked by numberless travellers, and all valuable and inter esting information about which has already been recorded. Still I can find some excuses for my temerity. My first is in the partiality of my friends, whose interest will be called forth by the following pages, because they are interested in the author. My next is, in the fact, that in these days, when the ends of the earth are brought to gether, and accounts of the most distant and hitherto inaccessible countries are multiplied, some passing reference to nearer scenes, be ginning to be overlooked and almost forgotten, might perhaps revive a transient interest in the latter -while my last excuse is derived from that which, at first sight, would appear to make it inexcusable.
