Book Description
Excerpt from Celebrated Women Travellers of the Nineteenth Century Her intellectual faculties, says her master, M. Papadopoulos, expanded with so much rapidity, that the professors charged with her instruction could not keep any other pupil abreast of her in the same studies. Not only did she make a wholly unexpected and un hoped-for progress, but it became necessary for her teachers to employ with her a particular method: her genius could not submit to the restraint of ordinary rules.

Book Description
"[...]of the most scientific travellers; for, as a fact, woman carries certain special aptitudes into literature. She perceives more quickly than man everything connected with national life and the manners of the people. A wide field, much too neglected, lies open, therefore, to her observation. But, in order that she may fitly explore it, she needs, what she too often fails to possess, a knowledge of languages and of history, as well as the capability of conforming herself to the different habitudes of nations, and the faculty of enduring great fatigues.

Book Description
The Princess Helena Koltzoff-Massalsky, better known by her pseudonym of Dora d'Istria, came of the family of the Ghikas, formerly princes of Wallachia, and was born at Bucharest, on the 22nd of January, 1829. Through the care and conscientiousness of her instructor, Mons. Papadopoulos, and her own remarkable capacity, she acquired a very complete and comprehensive education. When but eleven years old, she composed a charming little story, and before she had reached womanhood, undertook a translation of the Iliad. She showed no inclination for the frivolous amusements of a frivolous society. Her view of life and its responsibilities was a serious one, and she addressed all her energies to the work of self-improvement and self-culture. She read and re-read the literary masterpieces of England, France and Germany. As a linguist she earned special distinction.CONTENTS.PAGECOUNTESS DORA D'ISTRIA 17THE PRINCESS OF BELGIOJOSO 48MADAME HOMMAIRE DE HELL 66MADAME L�ONIE D'AUNET 126MISS FREDERIKA BREMER 134MADEMOISELLE ALEXINA TINN� 184MADAME IDA PFEIFFER 215MADAME DE BOURBOULON 270LADY HESTER STANHOPE 302LADY BRASSEY 340LADY MORGAN 379MRS.
