Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Society and Travel Breakfast is such a charmingly social meal, ' we heard a lady once say in speaking of a large breakfast in a country-house, every one comes down so fresh, everybody is in time, and ready for the duties and pleasures of the day. I con sider it a delightful moment.' It was a sentimental and poetical view, but as far as possible removed from the truth; for in our estimation it is a peculiarly unhappy moment, and one in which many persons are prone to regard their fellow-creatures as their natural enemies.

Download or read book Sketches From French Travel Classic Reprint written by Edward Augustus Freeman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 From Sea to Sea, Vol. 2: And Other Sketches, Letter of Travel Get that girl to give back your gig-lamps, and you will be able to see more clearly into the soul of the Far East. The Far East hasn't got a soul. She swapped it for a Constitution on the Eleventh of February last. Can any Constitution make up for the wear ing of Europe clothes? I saw a Jap lady just now in full afternoon calling-kit. She looked atrocious. Have you seen the later Japanese art - the pictures on the fans and in the shop win dows? They are faithful reproductions of the changed life - telegraph poles down the streets, conventionalised tram-lines, top-hats, and carpet bags in the hands of the men. The artists can make those things almost passable, but when it comes to conventionalising a Europe dress, the effect is horrible. Japan wishes to take her place among civilised nations, said the Professor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Italian Travel Sketches, &C: From the Original With Prefatory Note From the French of Thèophile Gautier It was not that he was less loved or less admired, but life entices away with it the most faithful hearts, in spite of themselves: only a mother or a wife would never abandon so persistent a death-agony. Human eyes cannot, without turning aside, contemplate the sight of suffering for too long a time. Goddesses themselves grow weary of it, and the three thousand Oceanides who went to console Prometheus on his Caucasian cross returned therefrom in the evening.

Download or read book Sketches of Travels in South America Mexico and California Classic Reprint written by L. M. Schaeffer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Travels in South America, Mexico and California While pursuing a journey to and from California, some years since, and during my sojourn there, I kept a daily record of "what I saw and did." It was a source of great interest and pleasure to me, especially as it was written and continued at the desire of the dear and valued friend to whom this book is dedicated. And being a stranger, wandering among strangers, often deprived of all congenial society, it became my chief delight to note down my impressions of the countries I visited. Of course, my recollections of events and occurrences are stronger and more vivid than they would otherwise have been, and since my return many questions having been asked by acquaintances relative to a miners life &c., frequent reference to my journal has been made. One of the editors of a religious paper, who had often listened to my reminiscences of a life among the miners, solicited me to contribute articles for his paper, which appeared under the signature of Quartz: and were continued until I had communicated the principal incidents of my three years absence. These articles, it gives me pleasure to say, were favorably received, and I have been frequently requested to publish them in book form. They are now offered to the public, with diffidence and some little hesitancy - and while they may possess no literary merit, still a full and correct history of events which came under my own observation, will, it is hoped, compensate for other deficiencies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Southern Scenes The desire to travel is almost universal, - to visit new scenes and meet people differing in appearance and customs from those encountered in every-day life. The present rapid and luxurious system of traveling, contrasted with the slow and comfortless facilities of other days, has developed an irresistible longing to see for one's self the wonders and beauties of other climes. Those who for various reasons are debarred from the indulgence of this luxury of travel, read or listen with avidity to de scriptions of the beautiful, grand or marvelous, whether beheld in foreign lands or on the shores of our own'country.
