Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Thoughts in Europe To be ushered of a sudden, hungry, upon the scene of a repast that has been, with the fragments of good cheer strewn around, is not a happy beginning. When we got on board dinner, was over. Under the awning, at the long, narrow tables, with tall, empty Rhenish bottles in the midst, a medley of nations were chatting German, French, English, with the volubility and complacency of satisfied appetites.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Europe Illustrated: Its Picturesque Scenes and Places of Note Before the great Revolution, France was divided into thirty-two large and eighty small provinces, which equalled the divisions of the Middle Ages; but this arrangement was, in 1790, abolished, and the country divided into eighty-six departments, with names mostly suggested by the rivers, mountains, and other natural features which happened to fall within their limits. These, again, were subdivided into districts, these into cantons, and these into communes. TO each department a governor or prefect was appointed; to each district, 3. Sub-prefect, and to each canton and commune, a mayor. As the names of the provinces still continue to be used in history, they are most widely known. It will, therefore, be better to retain them here, while giving an introductory general outline of their characteristics, previous to entering into such particulars as must necessarily pass under review whilst making the Grand Tour of Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summer in Europe IN the accompanying letters I have endeavored to give an honest and unprejudiced description of sights and scenes abroad, avoiding in a measure the stereotyped praise heaped upon everything foreign. My observations have mostly been con fined to the people, their habits and modes of living. The four months spent in the Old World were rich in instruction and full of enjoyment, but I feel that a hasty glance was too often given where there should have been careful study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in Europe From the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella to the pre sent time the policy of the Spanish government has been anti-commercial. Their aim has always been to exclude foreign goods so as to force the inhabitants to rely on native manufactures. But the roads in Spain are bad, and the government taxes on native industry are heavy, so that it is impossible for the Spaniards, even if they were ever so skilful and ingenious, to manufacture arti cles as cheap as the French and English, who have no such difiiculties to contend with. The result is that more than half of the entire trade of the country has been thrown into the hands of smugglers. Despite of the laws'enacted against the importation of foreign goods, they are brought into the country and the people buy them in preference to their own native manufactures, because they can obtain them cheaper.

Download or read book Staged Otherness written by Dagnosław Demski and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural phenomenon of exhibiting non-European people in front of the European audiences in the 19th and 20th century was concentrated in the metropolises in the western part of the continent. Nevertheless, traveling ethnic troupes and temporary exhibitions of non-European humans took place also in territories located to the east of the Oder river and Austria. The contributors to this edited volume present practices of ethnographic shows in Russia, Poland, Czechia, Slovenia, Hungary, Germany, Romania, and Austria and discuss the reactions of local audiences. The essays offer critical arguments to rethink narratives of cultural encounters in the context of ethnic shows. By demonstrating the many ways in which the western models and customs were reshaped, developed, and contested in Central and Eastern European contexts, the authors argue that the dominant way of characterizing these performances as “human zoos” is too narrow. The contributors had to tackle the difficult task of finding traces other than faint copies of official press releases by the tour organizers. The original source material was drawn from local archives, museums, and newspapers of the discussed period. A unique feature of the volume is the rich amount of images that complement every single case study of ethnic shows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Diary in Europe, 1871 Passing Sandy Hook we found the sea perfectly calm, scarcely a ripple marring its surface; our pilot left us now, and, as he departed, it seemed the last tie was being severed that bound us to our homes, and we left to the mercy of the wind and waves. One earnest, yearning prayer went out from our hearts, that God would keep us and our loved ones at home unharmed - would protect us in our travels, and bring us safely back. Soon the sunset auguries seemed to foretell a pleasant and prosperous trip, for in dappled gold and crimson flecks the flattened orb went down behind the waves; no clouds disturbed the scene save the light gossamer mantle the departing hours wrapped around them as they stepped softly through the portals opened for them; the stars came out brightly, and as we met the deepening swell of old ocean, our gallant boat bowed gently as though it met an old acquaintance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in Spain I had passed a bright June day in rambling over the wild rock of Gibraltar, that singular land-mark which nature has reared from the bosom of the water to mark the southern boundary of Europe, and which in the olden time was regarded as the consecrated limit of the habitable world. Beyond, as was supposed, rolled a wide waste of waters, to explore whose trackless expanse would have been deemed an act of blind and fruitless desperation. While I looked with wonder on this bold work of nature, I explored, too, with curious surprise, the efforts of human labour, where the cunning hand of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What I Know About Europe The following pages were suggested by a number of our party, who expressed a desire for a faithful review of the highly interesting and manifold scenes opportunely falling to their lot to witness in Kingdoms, Empires and Republics, all of which, to have been literally observed within the space of two months, including more than two weeks on the ocean (which was actually done), seems incredible if not an utter im possibility. I have endeavored to depict accurately, and almost exactly in the order of their occurrence, the scenes and events of the party's peregrinations, not forgetting to give the dis tance between places, and often the points of compass in the direction of travel. To verify or rectify the statements of our dragomans has, in either case, been no small task. Could I have realized the amount of application and research requisite to the aggrega tion of so much matter in detail, my promise to be the writer of these memoirs would have been substituted by a most emphatic thank you, I pray thee have me excused. I am aware that many of our number could have executed the work with greater elegance, but am equally certain that no one could have aimed to be more careful in the authenticity and integrity of the text than has the writer.
