Seeing Europe with Famous Authors, Volume I. Great Britain and Ireland

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.
