Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 2 of 10 The church itself is an interesting but not remarkable edifice, Old, small, and solidly built in a style common enough in England. Noth ing, however, could be more in keeping with the associations of the scene. The very humility Of the edifice has a property of its own, for anything more magnificent would jar upon the feelings, as the monument in the Park does most decidedly. It was Gray's wish that he might be buried here, near the mother whom he loved so well; otherwise he could hardly have escaped the posthumous misfortune of a tomb in Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's. In such case the world would have missed one of the most charming of associations, and the great poem the most poetical of its features. For surely it was fit that he who sang so touchingly of the dead here Sleeping, should find near them his last resting-place; that when the pleasant toil in libraries was over, the last folio closed by those industrious hands, the last man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 7 of 10 Tourist in great numbers now go to Italy, Sicily and Greece Tourists in great numbers now go to Italy by steamers that have Naples and Genoa for ports. By the fast Channel steamers, however, touching at Cherbourg and Havre one may make the trip in less time (rail journey included). In going to Rome, four days could thus be saved; but the expense will be greater - perhaps forty percent. ... "and now, fair Italy! Thou art the garden of the world, the home Of all Art yields, and Nature can decree; Even in thy desert, what is like to thee? Thy very weeds are beautiful, thy waste More rich than other climes' fertility; Thy wreck a glory, and thy ruin graced With an Immaculate charm which can not be defaced." At least four civilizations, and probably five, have dominated Italy; together they cover a period of more than 3,000 years - Pelasgian, Etruscan, Greek, Roman, Italian. Of these the Pelasgian is, in the main, legendary. Next came the Etruscan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 6 In Hungary there are great quantities of unearthed riches, and not only in the form of gold. These riches are the mineral waters that abound in the country and have been the natural medicine of the people for many years. Water in itself was always worshiped by the Hungarians in the earliest ages, and they have found out through experience for which ailment the different waters may be used. There are numbers of small watering-places in the most primitive state, which are visited by the peasants from far and wide, more especially those that are good for rheumatism. Like all people that work much in the open, the Hungarian in old age feels the aching of his limbs. The Carpathians are full of such baths, some of them quite primitive; others are used more as summer resorts, where the well-to-do town people build their villas; others, again, like Tatra Fured, Tatra Lomniez, Csorba, and many others, have every accommodation and are visited by people from all over Europe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 5 It is right, first of all, that you should have an idea how this piece of tapestry is preserved, or rolled up. You see it here, therefore, precisely as it appears after the person who shows it, takes ofi the cloth with which it is usually covered. The first portion of the needle-work, representing the embassy of Harold from Edward the Confessor to William Duke of Normandy, is comparatively much defaced - that is to say, the stitches are worn away, and little more than the ground, or fine close linen cloth remains. It is not far from the beginning - and where the color is fresh, and the stitches are, comparatively, preserved - that you observe the portrait of Harold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 9 Many tourists now enter Spain from Gibraltar; others enter from the north where two routes from Paris are available, one by the western end of the Pyrenees through Biarritz, the other by the eastern end through Perpignan. Phoenicians were in Spain perhaps a thousand years before the Christian era, but the Phoenicians were traders, not colonists. The earliest known settlers were Iberians, followed, about 500 B.C. by Celts. About 240 B.C. came the Carthaginians, but Rome during the Punic Wars expelled them. Eventually Rome conquered the entire peninsula, the Basques of the northwest excepted. It was a grim struggle for Rome, however, and lasted nearly two hundred years. Scipio AEmilianus was the first Roman to subdue any large part of the country. Afterward, Julius Caesar pushed the work still further forward. Thenceforth for two hundred years Rome was mistress of the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors The great majority of the streets are as narrow as any thoroughfare can well be, where people (even Italian people) are supposed to live and walk about; being mere lanes, with here and there a kind of well, or breathing place. The houses are immensely high, painted in all sorts of colors, and are in every stage and state of damage, dirt, and lack of repair. They are commonly let OH in floors, or flats, like the houses in the old town of Edinburgh or many houses in Paris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A two-fold purpose has been kept in view during the preparation of these volumes-on the one-hand, to refresh the memories and, if possible, to enlarge the knowledge, of readers who have already visited Europe; on the other, to provide something in the nature of a substitute for those who have not yet done so, and to inspire them with new and stronger ambitions to make the trip." Francis Whiting Halsey (1851-1919) was an American journalist and historian. He was assistant editor of the Binghamton Times (1873-1875), a member of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune (1875-1880), and in 1880 joined the staff of the New York Times as foreign editor and writer of book reviews.

He also issued anonymously, Virginia Isabel Forbes, a memoir of his wife, printed privately in 1900. His works include: Two Months Abroad (1878), The Old New York Frontier (1901), The Pioneers of Unadilla Village (1902), The World's Famous Orations (1906) and The Best of the World's Classics (10 volumes) (with Henry Cabot Lodge) (1909).
