Excerpt: ...a foray across the St. Gothard as far as Bellinzona, under pretext of an injury--the felling of some trees belonging to Canton Uri. High and rough passes lead through Val Cramosina and Val d'Efra to Val Verzasca. The Val Leventina terminates a little beyond Pollegio, at the junction of the Val Blegno. After crossing the river from that valley the traveller reaches 3$ m. Biasca, 1110ft. Inns: Posta; de la Gare). The village contains an ancient Romanesque church, situated on the slope of the hill. A chain of chapels, or Via Crucis, leads from it to the Chapel of St. Pctronilla, whence there is a pleasing view. The valley from this point to the Lago Maggiore is called the Riviera. Diligence daily to Disentis by the Lukmanier Pass (Rte. 85"). Below the junction of the rivers Moesa and Ticino--when the road from the San Bernardino falls in (Rte. 91)--stands Arbedo, memorable in history for the gallant stand by 3000 Swiss against 24,000 Milanese, commanded by the celebrated generals Delia Pergola and Carmagnola 1422. The fight lasted from morning until nightfall, when more than half the Swiss had been killed. Near the Church of St. Paul, called Chiesa Rossa, from its red colour, about 2000 were buried under 3 large mounds, still distinguishable. Defeat was at that period so unusual to the Swiss, even from a greatly superior force, that they retired across tho Alps abashed and discouraged. The distant aspect of Bellinzona, surmounted by battlemented walls, which once stretched quite across the valley, and overhung by no less than 3 feudal castles, is exceedingly imposing and picturesque. It looks as though it still commanded, as it once did, the passage of the valley. The luxuriance of vegetation, and the magnificent forms of the mountains...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Switzerland, and the Alps of Savoy and Piedmont The routes in the Handbook have been rearranged, as far as possible, to suit the convenience of travellers - all chan s and improvements in reads, railways, and steamers have been notice - and a vast number of new roads over little-known Alpine Passes have been described in the present and preceding editions. Plans of the principal towns are added. This edition is corrected as far as possible up to the time of publication, and contains notices of the railways which now bring Switzerland almost, as it were, to our own door. An Index has been prepared for the Swiss Handbook, independent of the Section relating to Savoy and Piedmont; and as each is furnished with a map, the two parts may be bound up separately for convenience, without injuring the completeness of either.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in Switzerland: The Alps of Savoy and Piedmont, the Italian Lakes, and Part of Dauphiné Murray's Handbook for Switzerland, Savoy, and Piedmont was the first systematic guide-book of English origin to those countries. It was based on the principle of personal knowledge of the routes described, and con structed for the use Of a generation of travellers, among whose interests the beauties of nature or historical associations took the first place. Since the publication Of the first edition in 1838 two new classes of visitors have made Switzerland and the adjacent regions their summer resort. An eager band Of mountaineers has explored the Alps in their most secret recesses, and conquered their proudest pinnacles. A much larger company Of tourists circles yearly for a few weeks in autumn along a narrow and beaten track through two or three of the most beautiful districts on the northern side of the great chain. Their interests appear, in many cases at least, scarcely to extend beyond the practical details of travel means of conveyance, inns, tariffs, bills, - and they have no desire to turn aside to see scenery which has not been already stamped with the approval Of their fellows.
