Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boy Travellers in Central Europe Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey Through, France, Switzerland, and Austria: With Excursions Among the Alps of Switzerland and the Tyrol The author has taken the same care to insure historical and geographical accuracy in this account of Central Europe that he took in previous volumes of The Boy Traveller series. Should errors be found, he trusts that they will be attributed to the authorities consulted rather than to negligence in the work of consultation. Wherever discrepancies occur in the authorities the writer has given the preference to those of greatest weight, or to those whose statements seemed to be confirmed by other events. Nearly all Of the routes described in this book have been personally travelled by the author, and some Of them more than once, and nearly every city, town, or other place of interest which has been visited by The Boy Travellers in Central Europe was previously visited by him. As far as possi ble he has aimed to speak from personal knowledge, but he has not hesitated to use the work of other travellers over the same ground, and believes that he has done so to the advantage of the reader. The authorities thus drawn upon, whether books or individuals, have been mentioned in the pages Of the volume, and need not be repeated in the preface. Statistical information concerning populations, manufactures, commerce, military and naval forces, and the like, have been Obtained from Official sources, or, where such were lacking, from the most authentic Of non-oflicial publications. Dimensions of buildings, parks, etc., heights of mountains, and kindred measurements have been taken from guide-books, either general or local, and in some cases from measure ments personally made by the author during his visits to the places described. The writer hereby tenders his acknowledgments to the courtesy of Messrs. Harper 85 Brothers for the privilege of using such of the illustrations as were originally prepared for other Of their publications.
