Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of European Capitals This small volume comes into existence, like so many others now-a-days, as a convenient way of disposing of matter previously used in the form of Lectures. They are the sketches of a traveller, and aim to give the first rapid impressions, with as little error and exaggeration as possible, of places visited in the course of a year's absence. I only h0pe they may not prove more incorrect in fact, or false in inference, than the majority of writings of the class. It is a volume of light reading for the summer road-side; and though, like the ﬂowers of that season, perishing with them, one may be permitted to hope that, like some of them, at least.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notices on the Northern Capitals of Europe I was desirous of seeing something of the state of Art in the North of Europe, and undertook a journey to search its Capitals. I had already visited Holland, but have added a relation of what pictures and objects I most admired there in my present tour. Others who travel in the same route, and who shall have honoured my work with a perusal, may perhaps differ in their choice and judgment. I do not pretend to lay down any law for admiration; taste for statues, temples, and paintings, is like that for women - black, brown.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Art Tour to Northern Capitals of Europe MY book pretends to be nothing more nor less than its title indicates. It is expressly the record of an Art Tour; it does not profess to give descriptions of scenery, or to deal with matters of science. I have endeavoured to put into as concise and at; tractive a form as possible all the information I could gather during a journey taken in the summer of 1870, for the purpose of collecting whatever art materials might be scattered over the Northern Capitals of Europe. The territory, though not unexplored, had scarcely become beaten ground. I may say that the route was new and informing to myself, for though familiar with the chief galleries and museums of Europe, I had still to make acquaintance with the art treasures of Copen hagen, Stockholm, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Europeans: A Sketch A narrow grave-yard in the heart of a bus tling, indifferent city, seen from the windows of a. Gloomy-looking inn, 'is at no time an object of eu livening suggestion and the spectacle is not at its best when the mouldy tombstones and fune real umbrage have received the ineffectual refresh ment of a dull, moist snow-fall. If, while the air is thickened by this frosty drizzle, the calendar should happen to indicate that the blessed vernal season is already six weeks old, it will be admitted that no depressing inﬂuence is absent from the scene. This fact was keenly felt on a certain 12th of May, upwards of thirty years since, by a lady who stood looking out of one of the windows of the best hotel in the ancient city of Boston. She had stood there for half an hour stood there, that is, at intervals; for from time to time she turned back into the room and measured its length with a restless step. In the chimney-place was a red. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from European Cities at Work Some years ago I wrote a book which bore the title "The City: The Hope of Democracy." The subtitle was received with protest by some, with incredulity by others. There was little to justify hope at that time. Our cities were under the searchlight, and the evils disclosed seemed inherent in great industrial aggregations of people. How could the city govern itself honestly and efficiently under democratic forms: how could it assimilate great masses of untrained foreign born people; how could it relieve poverty, vice, and disease? The city seemed to many to be the behemoth of civilization. Since then there have been house-cleanings all over the land. A new feeling of confidence has arisen, in which democracy is the dominant note. Reform has brought with it the commission form of government, simple, direct primaries, the short ballot, and the abolition of the party emblem on the one hand, and on the other the ownership or control of public-service corporations, the protection of human health and life, the play-ground, and, more recently, the comprehensive planning and building of cities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and Studies in Southern Europe, Vol. 2 of 2 Sicily, in the centre of the Mediterranean, has been throughout all history the meeting-place and battle-ground of the races that contributed to civilize the West. It was here that the Greeks measured their strength against Ph nicia, and that Carthage fought her first duel with Rome. Here the bravery of Hellenes triumphed over barbarian force in the victories of Gelon and Timoleon. Here, in the harbor of Syracuse, the Athenian Empire succumbed to its own intemperate ambition. Here, in the end, Rome laid her mortmain upon Greek, Ph nician, and Sikeliot alike, turning the island into a granary and reducing its inhabitants to serfdom. When the classic age had closed, when Belisarius had vainly reconquered from the Goths for the empire of the East the fair island of Persephone and Zeus Olympius, then came the Mussulman, filling up with an interval of Oriental luxury and Arabian culture the period of utter deadness between the ancient and the modern world.

Of two of these cities, Ravenna and Trier, I have spoken more at length in articles in the British Quarterly Review but, as those articles rather belong to a series of a different character, that seemed no reason for suppressing the papers which gave my impressions on the spot. I hope that I may some day be able to continue the present attempt by other collections, from our own island, from France and other parts of Gaul, from Germany, and, above all, from Dalmatia.

Well, I really don't know if to go to Berlin from England in war time just to know what's going on is a curious hobby or not. But, when two weeks ago I read in some London newspaper wonderful stories of star vation and symptoms of panic in the German capital, and in some others that things in Berlin were going on just as usual, I thought the only way to know the truth about it was to go there myself. I was warned that I should get into trouble, be arrested, kept prisoner, treated as a spy, etc., and the few persons who knew of my journey thought it was a very foolish thing to do. As a matter of fact, the trip was carried out without much difficulty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe Whither Bound? (Quo Vadis Europa): Being Letters of Travel From the Capitals of Europe in the Year 1921 The Author's gratitude is due to many people in connexion with this book - to Bishop Nicholas of Zicca and the Rev. Hugh Chapman, of the Savoy, and Col. Treloar and Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, and the Editor of the "Narodny Listi," at Prague, and Mr. Hyka, - to these and many others who helped a traveller on his way. The letters from each capital were published in "Country Life" under the general title of Quo Vadis Europa? A few after-thoughts have now been written on "Extra Leaves," and sewn in between these letters. No effort at an exhaustive study of any country is made here. The object of the author was to make a rapid tour from capital to capital, "keeping the taxi waiting," so to say, and thus obtain an idea of Europe as a whole. It is perhaps one of the first books of travel written from the point of view of Europe as a unity, and it is hoped it will help to make us all good Europeans.
