Book excerpt: Excerpt from Loiterings of Travel, Vol. 1 of 3 If you could manage, O most amiable reader! to forget that this is "a book" - call it a rummage of a portfolio-pocket - a chat with a traveller - wile-time in a calm at sea - pick-brains over a bottle! Of all the "five gates of the soul," the eye is so much the most difficult to enter. These be the stories I have told over inn fires - just as I told them.I would have you fill up, and make allowance, as fellow-travellers do - no criticism, but "How very odd!" "Quite a romance!"

They. Slide over the smooth sward of national virtues, without re mark; but cannot see a pebble on their path without making it a stumbling block. They prefer what is Singular and striking to that which is general and passive. They find the former in national defects, for these, like indi' vidual failings, stand out in full relief. They are the beaked promontories, against which most voyagers are afraid of striking, which they describe with a Shudder, and fly from without examining. But each jutting rock is furnished with its beacon, not only to warn the stranger of peril, but to light him to safety in many a verdant recess. In the French revolution, for instance, the most marked objects, view it from what point we will, are its crimes. But if we boldly enter on the scenes of their commission, how much redeeming softness, what a fund of downy virtues may the mind repose on, to save.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Celebrated Travelers, Vol. 3 of 3 This enterprising and distinguished traveller was born on the 10th of September, 1771, at Fowlshiels, a farm occupied by his father on the banks of the Yarrow, near Selkirk. In common with the greater number of the sons of Scottish yeomen, Mungo Park, notwithstanding that the number of his brothers and sisters amounted to no less than thirteen, received a respectable education, and at the age of fifteen was bound apprentice to a surgeon at Selkirk. At the close of this apprenticeship, in 1789, Park continued his medical studies at the university of Edinburgh, where, though nothing remarkable is recorded of him, he seems to have applied with great assiduity to his professional studies. His summer vacations, during one of which he made a tour to the Highlands, were devoted to botany. Having completed his education, Park removed to London in search of professional employment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traits of Travel, Vol. 2 of 3: Or Tales of Men and Cities About nine o'clock in the evening the carriage stopped in a solitary but beautiful spot, at the entrance of a lawn, more brightly green than any I had ever seen in our own fertile valleys. Sweet smelling shrubs and flowers perfumed the path leading to a cottage, which was altogether a scene of enchantment to me. It was covered with jessamine, honeysuckle, and roses; and shaded by wide branching trees at all sides. When I entered the door I could not restrain the expression of my admiration and delight.

Download or read book Travel and Exploration Vol 3 written by Eustace Reynolds-Ball and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel and Exploration, Vol. 3: An Illustrated Monthly of Travel, Exploration, Adventure and Sport; January to June 1910 The Riviera, as all the world knows, is a delightful place, and the pleasures of a stay on this beautiful coast can be greatly increased by the use of a motor car. The best way of getting to the Riviera to begin with is to motor there and very many of the English and Americans who seek health and pleasure on the cote d'azur during the winter months never think nowadays of doing the journey by train. Instead of shutting themselves into over-heated railway-carriages, they get into their cars at Boulogne, Dieppe, Cherbourg, or Paris, as the case may be, roll luxuriously across the fair land of France, and step out at the door of hotel or villa in Cannes, Nice or Mentone. The formalities attending the introduction of a motor car into France are now so simplified by the new system of the triptych, that not even ladies travelling alone need fear tiresome complications with the custom-house authorities. If the committee of the various automobile clubs now sitting can succeed in introducing uniform regulations to apply to all the countries of Europe, motor touring on the Continent will become easy indeed. One of the most interesting ways from Paris to the Riviera is to take the road to Orleans and Bourges (a delightful place with much interesting architecture), on to Montlucon, and to that attractive town Clermont Ferrand. Beyond clermont-ferrand the road leads into the romantic country around Le Puy, the starting - point of Robert Louis Stevenson on his celebrated journey through the Cevennes. From Le Puy it is easy to make a detour to visit the Gorge of the Tarn, now accessible to motor cars since the new road is Open through the whole length of the Gorge. From Le Puy and Pradelles it is practically one continuous down-hill run to Nimes and Arles; whence, avoiding the detestable pavement which leads into Marseilles, the tourist takes the road to aix-en-provence, and so by Brignoles to Frejus and Nice. A variant of this route is to go by Montargis, Cosne, and Nevers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
