Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lake Geneva and Its Literary Landmarks A preface is an author's opportunity of explaining that he does not represent his book to be anything that it obviously is not. My book, then, does not claim to be what an historian would regard as a complete history of Geneva. Such a book ought to be written, but I have not tried to write it, because the task affords too many opportunities of being dull and tedious. Nor is my book put forward as a complete history of Genevan literature. Readers who desire such a history can read French; and in French there is M. Philippe Godet's admirable Histoire litteraire de la Susse Francaise which covers the ground more than adequately. What I have tried to write is an informal, anecdotal history of Geneva, with especial reference to the careers of the many eminent men of letters, natives or strangers, who have lived or sojourned there. Every continental traveller - and we are all continental travellers nowadays - finds his way sooner or later to Geneva; and it occurred to me that such travellers might be glad of a book which would remind them of what was most worth remembering about Bonivard, Calvin, Beza, Voltaire, Rousseau, Madame Necker, Madame de Stael, Horace Benedict de Saussure and other celebrated men and women, whether citizens or resident aliens, whose names are associated with the City and the Lake.
