Cracow, old, tired and dispirited, speaks and thinks only of the ruinous past. When you drive into Cracow from the station for the first time, you are breathless, smiling, and tearful all at once; in the great Ring-platz-a mass of old buildings-Cracow seems to hold out her arms to you-those long sides that open from the corner where the cab drives in. -from "Cracow," by M nie Muriel Dowie From the era from a trip to the Continent was rarer but more deeply appreciated comes an enchanting literary travelogue assembled from the hearts and minds of some of the greatest wordsmiths in the English language. A Grand Tour in 10 volumes, these delightful volumes, first published in 1914, gather little-seen essays from famous erudite explorers in compact collections that will inspire those who've never been abroad to make the journey, and move those who have to pack their bags again. Volume VI continues the series' exploration of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Switzerland, viewed through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Percy Bysshe Shelley witnesses an Alpine avalanche, Harriet Beecher Stowe wanders the Castle of Chillon, John Tyndall climbs Mont Blanc, and much more by such notable voices as William Cullen Bryant, Frederick Harrison, Victor Tissot, and others. Beautifully illustrated with charming photographs, it is a work to treasure... and to take along on your next trip.

"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 was literary editor of The Times, and established the Times Saturday Review of Books and Art in 1896. 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).
