Excerpt from Mount Eryx and Other Diversions of Travel Part I of this book is in three sections, dated respectively 1903, 1902 and 1912. On the 6th of February, 1920, I read to The Literary Society of The University of London, King's College, Strand, the first section, entitled "Varallo-Sesia," Dr. C. D. Webb being in the chair. On the 14th of October, 1920, I again read the same section to The Women's Institute, 92 Victoria Street, S.W., Mrs. Frank Pownall being in the chair. Part II of the book is A Tour to Mount Eryx in 1920. So that the two parts of the book are divided by the war, which interrupted and disorganized so many undertakings. In July, 1921, I went again to Varallo after several year' absence. All Butler's old friends are now dead except Bertoli, the bee-master. He is seventy-eight, in failing health, but still cheery and interested in his bees and in many other topics. I found nothing which caused me to want to alter anything that I have written; but I should like to add that Butler's sketch, which I gave to the town, is now located in the room of the organist on the Sacro Monte. It is signed "S. Butler, Augt 1871," and shows the old front of the church on the Mountain before Costantino Durio gave them the new facciata. It is the sketch referred to in the text as showing the Resurrection Fountain, and was made from near the stone which is said to be such an exact facsimile of the Stone which was rolled away from the Holy Sepulchre.
