Book Description
Excerpt from Holidays Abroad, Vol. 2: Or Europe From the West This fact helps to bring home to the imagination the vast size of the edifice. But who shall tell of the magnificence of the whole - of the wealth of sculpture - the masses of mosaic, the incredible amount of rich marbles, which fill the eye on every side, without any 'cumbrousness or ex travagance or the least appearance of mere expense for expense's sake, observable in so many churches. A hun dred marble cherubs, each larger than a man, placed in pairs upon the pillars, are mere harmonious decorations. They pass unobserved until we begin to examine the church in detail. Those which support the vases for holy water on each side the church are often noticed. They are fine babies, and when you find by measurement that their heads are four times as large as your own, you are aided in drawing conclusions as to the size of the building which thus diminishes them. A glance across the marble pavement from the high altar to the door, gives an idea of only a moderate walk'; but when you see that a regiment of soldiers has entered without materially dimin ishing the apparent distance, you begin to remember that the church is 600 feet long.

Book Description
Excerpt from An English Holiday With Car and Camera The reasons why people travel are many and various; some travel for their health, a few bold spirits set forth in search of adventure in little explored lands; others roam therein after big game, still others wander far afield simply because they are naturally restless, and find their only rest in movement. Sundry unenterprising folk travel merely because their friends do; others go abroad, perchance, to escape from domestic worries or to find distraction from business cares. Stevenson has it that we travel to find friends, and he is a fortunate voyager who finds many. For myself I frankly confess that I travel for none of these things, but purely for pleasure, and, like the famous Dr. Syntax, in search of the picturesque.

Book Description
Excerpt from Holiday Rambles During the process of revision I have been pleasantly reminded of other journeyings in foreign parts, as well as of pedestrian excursions over mountain and moorland, in the days that are no more. And I have thought that it would not be an unsuitable occasion to insert one or two more of my earlier sketches, out of a rather numerous selection, as companion pictures, and to give variety.

Two Months in Europe
Author: O. R. BurchardPublisher:
ISBN: 9781330660447
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Excerpt from Two Months in Europe: A Record of a Summer Vacation Abroad The author has had in mind only to give a brief but faithful account of what will be most likely to interest the traveler who goes for profit as well as pleasure. He has endeavored to represent things fairly, and without that gush of admiration with which the coolest of us often see things for the first time. Personal allusions and experiences, which are of no value or interest to a stranger, have been as far as possible avoided, and the single aim has been kept in view of giving a plain and straight forward account of a summer's tour. If the book should recall pleasing memories to those who have had the pleasure of a foreign trip, and, most of all should be instrumental in inducing young people to visit, even hastily, the old world, and thus have the life-long enjoyment of the pleasure and knowledge which such a trip gives, the author will be more than satisfied.
