This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe.

PREFACE  TO  THE  NINTH  EDITION. 


|)HE  *'Guide  through  Europe",  undergoing  annually  a  thorough 
and  careful  revision  and  thus  being  an  original,  practical 
and  reliable  manual,  has  risen  considerably  from  year  to 
year  in  public  favour.  Indeed,  whereas  the  early  editions 
consisted  of  20,000  copies,  no  fewer  than  30,000^  are  now 
issued  every  spring. 

>■  Of  course,    in  condensing  such  a  mass  of  details,    it  is  impossible 

to  prevent  mistakes  from  creeping  in  here  and  there;  and  the  publisher 
would  be  very  glad  to  receive  notification  of  such  errors,  so  that  the 
necessary  corrections  may  be  made  in  succeeding  editions. 

To  avoid  misunderstanding,  it  may  be  stated  here  that  the 
work  has  not  been  written  in  the  interests  of  advertisers,  but  for  the 
benefit  of  passengers  crossing  to  Europe  by  the  boats  of  the  Hamburg- 
American  Line. 

First-class  hotels,  *  boarding-houses,  businesses,  banks,  sanatoria  &c. 
are  indicated  throughout;  but  the  book  being  a  guide  and  not  a  directory, 
only  a  selection  could  be  made. 

Finally,    it  may  be  remarked    that  German   guides  through  Europe 

existing    in    great    number,    the    present    work    was  originally  written  to 

*fill   a    desideratum    long  -  felt   among   English  -  speaking    travellers;    and 

numerous    voluntary  letters    of  thanks  and   suggestions,   couched  in    the 

warmest  terms,  are  ample  evidence  that  this  hope  has  not  been  in  vain.

ltist0[|y  of  the 

Hamburg-Ameijican  Line. 


The  Hamburg- American  Line 
was    established  some  sixty 


years  since,  having  been 
called  into  existence  by  the  active 
emigration  movement  which  appear- 
ed among  the  peoples  of  Europe  in 
the  thirties  and  forties  of  the  last 
century.  At  that  period,  the  United 
States  were  regarded  as  the  Eldorado 
in  which  one  had  but  to  stretch  out 
the  hand  to  obtain  in  plenitude  that 
which  years  of  toil  had  failed  to  gain 
in  Europe.  Whereas,  in  the  year  1825, 
the  number  of  emigrants  was  only 
1(XX),  the  figures  had  risen,  by  1832, 
to  60,000  annually.  Bremen  had  al- 
ready taken  up,  with  energy,  the 
North  American  traffic;  while  the 
trade  of  Hamburg  lay  principally 
with  the  West  Indies  and  South 
America.  During  the  year  1837, 
14,000  emigrants  lett  Bremen,  or 
rather  Bremerhaven,  for  the  United 
States,  the  number  of  passages  made 
being  172;  whereas,  averaging  th"j 
years  from  1841  to  1850,  only  42  passages  annually  were  made  from 
Hamburg.  It  was  dear,  however,  that  the  trade  with  North  America  was 
far  more  capable  ul  development,  and  had  before  it  a  much  greater 
future,  than  that  of  the  West  Indies  or  of  South  America. 

The  Hamburg  shipowners  of  that  day  despatched  occasional  emigrant 
isels  to  North  America,  but  the  traffic  was  wanting  both  in  regularity 
d  in  organisation ;  and  it  became  evident  that,  in  order  to  assure  Ham- 
rg  and  its  fleet  their  share  in  the  coming  trade,  it  would  be  necessary 
create  a  regular  service  of  boats  to  the  United  States. 

The    calling    into    existence  of   this    great   line  casts  a  striking  light 
on  the  state  of  affairs  at  that  period;  and  a  short  account  of  the  early 
irs  of  the  undertaking  will  doubtless  awaken  general  interest. 
At  the  outset,  it  was  decided  to  start  a  regular  despatch  of  sailing- vessels. 

d 


The  Lookout. 


People  looked,  in  those  days,  somewhat  askance  at  the  new-faivgled  <»teAnh 
boat.  True^  the  "Sirius"  and  the  "Great  Western"  had  crossed  the  Atlantk 
from  England;  and  a  Steamship  Company  had  been  formed  in  that  country  iji 
1840;  but  experience  as  to  the  steamer  was  still  too  limited  for  the  shippers 
to  resort  to  steam  as  a  substitute  for  the  cheaper  motive  power  of  wind. 

So  then,  in  the  spring  of  1847,  a  number  of  the  most  respected  Hamburg 
merchants  gathered  together  to  discuss  ways  and  means  for  the  foundation 
i>f  the  purposed  undertaking;  and,  though  their  plans  were  extremely  modest, 
they  found  the  greatest  difficulty  in  obtaining  the  necessary  funds. 

How  difficult  it  was  may  be  gathered  from  the  chary  manner  in  which 
the  First  shares  were  taken-up.  These  consisted  of  60,  and  \^'cre  divided 
;imotig  no  fewer  than  41  shareholders,  the  greatest  number  of  shares  sub 
scribed  for  by  any  one  individual  being  only  four.  In  many  cases  the  sub 
scriber,  on  reconsidering  the  bold  step  he  had  taken,  withdrew  his  consent. 
itnd  either  removed  his  name  from  the  subscribers'  list  or  transferred  his 
i^hares  to  someone  else.  It  may  be  noted,  here,  that  the  share  capital 
tif  the  company  has  now  risen  to  125  million  marks. 

At  last,  however,  on  the  27tli  May  1847,  at  a  general  meeting  ol 
the  shareholders,  the  company  was  constituted  under  the  stj'le  of  the 
*Haraburg'Amerikanische  Packetfahrt  Actien-Gesellschaft"  for  the  purpose 
ikf  establishing  regular  communication  with  North  America  by  means  of 
Fiaiiing- vessels  carrying  the  Hamburg  flag.  So  far  as  capital  permitted, 
the  required  ships  were  to  be  built  or  bought  and,  if  necessary^  cba'fercd 
to  undertake  the  voyages  from  and  to  New  York. 

The  company  being  thus  established,  a  considerable  period  elapsed  be 
fore  the  working  of  the  line  could  be  commenced.  For,  despite  the  not  over 
plenteous  funds,  the  managers  were  desirous  of  obtaining  sound  and  fast 
sailing  vessels.  Negotiations  were  opened  with  all  the  most  coi[ipetent  docki? 
of  the  German  coast  and  (ship-building  being  at  that  time  cheaper  on  thi" 
BaJtic  than  on  the  Elbe  or  Weser)  also  with  Finland,  Sweden  and  Denmark. 
But,  after  long  consideration  of  the  pros  and  cons,  it  was  decided,  nolwlth 
standing' the  difference  in  price,  to  place  orders  for  three  ships  in  Hiimi-sur^; 
uhile  a  fourth  was  to  be  bought  second-hand  either  in  England  or  America. 

The  construction  of  the  three  new  boats  was  begun  in  Deccdiber  1847: 
the  names  chosen  for  them  were  "Deutschland",  "Rhein"  and  ".America", 
the  last  afterwards  receiving  the  name  of  *North  America".  The  contract 
price  for  the  three  vessels  with  complete  fittings  was  367,500  marks;  and 
the  sum  rci^erved  for  the  purchase  of  the  fourth  ship  was  67,5(H)  marks. 

How  diminutive  do  these  figures  appear  when  compared  with  thi- 
cost  of  the  great  vessels  of  the  present  day,  which  often  aniounta  tn 
millions  for  a  single  steamer.  The  *Deutschland"  for  instance^  the  fastesi 
steamer  of  the  Company,   cost  12,500,000  marks. 

In  the  meanwhile,  62  shares  had  been  subscribed-for,  thus  raising  the 
working  capital  to  465,000  marks.     After  payment  had  been  made  for  t^ ' 
ships,  there  remained,  however,  only  30,000  marks,   an  exceedingly  sms 
sum  for  a  new  enterprise    that   had  to  manipulate  so  vast  an  apparatus 

Two  of  the  sailing-vessels  left  the  stocks  in  October  1848.  The  thin 
the  ^Rhein",  was  not  ready  for  launching  till  the  following  month,  an 
then  had  the  misfortune  to  capsize,  though  it  was  soon  re-floated.  Thj 
incident  was,  for  the  seamen,  a  very  unfavourable  omen.  And  yet  it  wa 
this  very  vessel  which,  by  its  brilliant  and  rapid  passages,  did  so  muc 
towards    establishing    the  repute    of  the  Packetfahrt  Ships  as  fast  sailers

It  may  be  noted,  here,  that  the  shipbuilders,  never  having,  as  they 
said,  constructed  such  large  vessels,  made  a  serious  error  in  their  calcu* 
lations,  and  lost  considerably  on  the  transactions.  Fifty  years  ago,  the 
building  of  a  ship  of  such  dimensions  as  the  *Deutschland"  (700  tons) 
was  an  event  of  great  magnitude.  Nowadays,  German  docks  build  sailing- 
ships  of  5000  tons  (the  full-rigged  ship  "Preussen"  of  the  Hamburg  firm 
of  Laeisz  has  a  gross  tonnage  of  5080);  while  the  great  freight  steamers 
are  three  and  even  five  times  as  large:  the  *Graf  Waldersee",  "Patricia",  and 
"Pretoria",  for  instance,  built  for  the  Company  in  Germany,  have  each  a 
registered  tonnage  of  about  13,000;  while  the  passenger  and  cargo  steamer 
"Kaiserin  Auguste  Victoria"  —  a  gigantic  vessel  built  at  the  Vulcan  Docks 
in  Stettin  for  the  North  Atlantic  service  —  has  a  tonnage  of  25,000  tons. 

The  full-rigged  ship,  *Deutschland",  was  the  largest  of  the  three 
vessels  and  was  capable  of  accommodating  200  steerage  and  20  cabin 
passengers,  a  considerable  figure  in  those  times.  At  the  present  day  the 
crew  alone  of  such  fast  steamers  as  the  *Deutschland"  numbers  more 
than  550  men;  while  300  steerage  and   800  cabin  passengers  are  carried. 

Concerning  the  arrangements  and  manipulation  of  the  sailing-ships, 
the  then  managing-director  of  the  company,  Herr  Adolf  Godeffroy,  gave 
the  shareholders  the  follow:ing  detailed  description: — 

"The  ships  have  turned  out  very  handsome.  The  arrangements  for  cabin  and 
steerage  passengers,  avoiding  all  superfluous  luxury,  are  as  pretty  and  comfortable  as 
one  could  desire.  Each  ship  has  a  small  library  on  board:  the  crockery  bears  the  name 
of  the  ship:  linen  is  provided  in  plenty  for  the  use  of  passengers.  .The  fact  that  each 
passenger  has  a  bed  to  himself  is  particularly  worthy  of  mention.  The  judiciousness 
of  these  comfortable  arrangements  has  been  well  rewarded:  passengers  who  had  the 
intention  to  travd  by  the  boats  of  other  companies,  having  inspected  those  of  the 
"Packetfahrt",  have  decided  to  book  by  this  line.  Special  consideration  has  been  paid 
to  the  choice  of  captains;  and,  by  great  good  fortune,  men  have  been  hit  upon  who 
are  not  merely  first-rate  navigators,  but  who  also  understand,  by  their  friendly,  attentive, 
and  sociable  character,  to  render  the  life  of  passengers  on  board  the  boats  as  agreeable 
as  possible.  Captain  and  officers  have  received  a  special  uniform,  and  have  been  supplied 
with  comprehensive  instructions,  worked  out  with  reference  to  their  position  on  board. 
As  there  is  no  similar  Packet-boat  service  in  existence,  it  has  been  the  endeavour  of 
the  managers  to  produce  something  of  great  excellence;  and  all  the  ships  have,  from 
the  outset,  been  built  of  a  substantial  type  and  fitted  with  the  necessary  luxury.  In 
this  respect. the  managers  have  taken  the  Austrian  Lloyd  Packet-boat  Company  as  their 
pattern.  Moreover,  books  have  been  introduced  (one  for  the  cabins  and  one  for  the 
steerage),  which,  on  completion  of  each  voyage,  the  captain  has  to  lay  before  the 
passengers  for  them  to  enter  possible  complamts.** 

The  company  was  now  in  possession  of  three  vessels.  Unfortunately, 
however,  it  had  not  been  found  feasible  to  complete  the  purchase  of  the 
fourth  vessel:  neither  in  Great  Britain  nor  in  the  United  States  could  a 
suitable  boat  be  obtained.  Consequently,  the  managers  had  accepted  the  offer 
of  a  ship  then  on  the  stocks  of  a  Bremerhaven  shipwright.  In  possession  of  this 
vessel,  named  the  "Elbe",  the  company  was  now  ready  to  commence  a  regular 
packet-boat  service;  and,  on  the  15*1^  of  October  1848,  the  '^Deutschland", 
under  her  commander,  Captain  Hancker,   started  on  the  first  voyage. 

Like  every  new  enterprise,  the  Packetfahrt  met  with  many  dis 
appointments  and  reverses.  These  were  caused  mainly  by  fluctuatini 
political  and  commercial  circumstances.  They  may  be  passed  over  wit! 
the  remark  that  the  year  1852  was  the  first  which  permitted  payment  o 
a  dividend.  But,  despite  the  modest  results,  the  company  endeavoured 
confidently  and  energetically,  to  extend  both  its  fleet  and  its  commerci? 
operations.  Thus,  in  1851,  another  large  sailer,  the  *Oder",  had  bee 
introduced,  having  accommodation  for  250  steerage  and  40  cabin  pa? 
sengers;  and  this  was  followed  in  1853,  by  the  *Donau".

The  6  vessels,  with  a  combined  burden  of  4,000  tons,  were  considered, 
at  that  day,  a  very  respectable  fleet.  Each  of  the  boats  made,  on  the 
average,  three  voyages  annually,  thus  carrying  about  12,000  tons  cargo 
to  New  York  and  bringing  back  a  like  quantity.  The  pi-esent  twin-screw 
steamer  ^^Pennsylvania",  can  take  on  board  more  cargo  than  the  whole 
sailing-fleet  could  carry  in  one  year  I  It  is  capable  of  making  ten,  voyages 
to  America  and  back  in  a  twelvemonth,  carrying  120,000  tons  on  each 
outward  and  each  homeward  journey.  The  sailing  -  fleet  of  the 
company  in  the  year  1853  would  have  required  nine  years  for  the  trans- 
port. The  vessels  took,  on  the  average,  about  40  days  to  reach  New  York:  the 
return  voyage  was  made  in  29  days, —  the  outward  and  homeward  voyage, 
with  stoppage  in  New  York,  in  about  90  days.  The  number  of  passengers 
carried,  in  1848,  was  168;  in  1849,  1474  persons;  in  1850,  1420  persons; 
in  1851,   3448  persons;    in  1852,  4666  persons;    in  1853,  4950  persons. 

We  have  now  arrived  ^t  an  event  of  great  moment  to  the  Company, 
namely,  the  introduction  of  the  Steamship! 

Both  at  home  and  abroad,  steamship  companies  had  been  formed; 
and,  consequently,  in  1854,  the  Packetfahrt,  resolved  to  try  the  experiment 
of  running  two  screw-steamers,  each  having  a  burden  of  1800 — 2000  tons 
and  engines  of  300  H-P.  The  total  cost  was  to  be  1,500,000  marks,  the 
crew  to  consist  of  60  men,  the  consumption  of  coal  to  be  2  tons  per  hour. 
The  working  capital  having  been  correspondingly  increased,  the  two 
vessels  were  .ordered  in  England.  Their  length  was  to  be  300'  deck, 
280'  keel,  —  their  greatest  breadth  38 Vg'  and  depth  26',  the  gross  burden 
2026  reg.  tons,  and  estimated  speed  12 — 12  V2  knots.  In  consideration  of  the 
then  state  of  the  Elbe,  the  draft  of  the  steamers  was  not  to  exceed  17  feet. 

The  vessels  —  named,  respectively,  'Hammonia*  and  *Borussia'  —  werie 
delivered,  the  one  in  July  and  the  other  in  September,  1855.  At  the 
outset,  it  was  found  difficult  to  obtain  engineers:  the  entire  commercial 
navy  of  Germany,  which  reflected  in  its  various  flags  the  motley  character 
of  the  many  German  states,  possessed  but  few  steamships;  and  there  was 
no  source  whatever  whence  engineers  could  be  drawn. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  introduction  of  English  assistants,  which 
was  the  customary  resort  of  other  companies,  appeared  to  the  managers 
to  be  quite  out  of  place.  They  deemed  it  important  that  their  vessels 
should  be  manned  by  exclusively  German  crews,  and  ultimately  succeeded 
in  obtaining  the  services  of  one  of  the  few  experts  in  marine  engineering 
then  to  be  had  in  Germany.  This  gentleman  undertook  the  organisation 
of  the  whole  department,  and  supervised  tiie  building  of  the  new  steamers. 
Furthermore,  a  crew  was  trained  for  the  new  steamer  service,  special 
instructions  being  drafted,  and  the,  captains  making  voyages  on  foreign 
steamships  to  prepare  themselves  for  the  command  of  their  future  vessels. 

It  may  be  of  interest  to  note  here  that  the  steamers,  on  completion, 
were  not  at  once  placed  in  the  peaceable  service  for  which  they  we 
intended,  but  were  chartered  by  the  English  and  French  governments  f' 
the  transport  of  troops  to  the  Crimea.  However,  in  March  1856,  th 
were  employed  for  the  regular  monthly  steamer  service  to  New  York.  T 
first  voyage  was  made  by  the  'Borussia*  on  the  l^t  of  June  1856;  and  th( 
followed  such  a  rapid  rise  in  passenger  and  cargo  traffic  between  Hambu 
and  New  York  that  it  became  necessary  to  start  a  fortnightly  service. 

The  period  which  now  commences    includes    a  continual  progress 
the  development  of  the  fleet    and    the   introduction  of  new  lines  of  bos 

U 


It  is  also  a  period  of  keen  competition,  in  which  the  Company  ultimately 
comes  out  victorious. 

In  the  year  1868,  the  last  sailing  vessels  of  the  Company  are  disposed 
of;  and  it  becomes  henceforth  a  steamship  concern  only. 

'  In  1867  the  New  Orleans— Havanna  Line,  which  did  not  prove  very 
remunerative,  was  started.  The  year  1870  saw  the  creation  of  the  monthly 
service  between  Hamburg  and  the  West  Indies,  with  Havre  as  port  of  call; 
though,  in  consequence  of  the  war,  the  boats  did  not  begin  running  till 
March  26*^  1871.  The  central  point  for  the  West  Indian  trafBc  was 
originally  laid  in  Trinidad,  but  was  afterwards  transferred  to  St.  Thomas. 
But,  even  then,  eight  years  were  spent  in  making  sacrifices  for  German 
trade,  ere  ^ny  profit  was  obtained  on  the  West  India  Line.  Upwards  of 
4  million  marks  were  absorbed  in  this  way,  before  the  Company  began  to 
obtain  the  masteiy  of  the  situation.  In  connection  with  the  West  India  Mail 
Service,  a  local  one  from  St.  Thomas  to  Hayti  and  Mexico  was  introduced. 

About  the  opening  of  the  'eighties',  began  that  separation  of  the 
cargo  traffic  from  the  mail  and  passenger  service  which  led  to  the  forma- 
tion of  the  so-called  Express  Service  and  the  development  of  the  modern 
fast  steamer.  At  first,  the  managers  in  Hamburg  could  not  make  up  their 
minds  to  follow  the  example  of  the  other  steamship  companies.  The 
unavoidably  deep  draft  of  the  required  vessels  excluded  their  being 
despatched  from  Hamburg;  and  the  company  feared  to  face  the  cost  of 
despatching  from  the  Lower  Elbe,  as  this  was  known,  from  former 
experience  to  be  very  expensive.  Moreover,  the  want  of  suitable  docks 
doubtless  affected  the  decision;  the  dry-dock  of  the  Company  was  not 
capable  of  admitting  vessels  of  the  proposed  dimensions;  and  private  docks 
of  that  day  were  likewise  too  small.  Furthermore,  the  lucrativeness  of  the  fast 
steamer  had  not  yet  been  sufficiently  tested  for  one  to  place  much  faith  therein. 
It  was,  therefore,  resolved  to  strike  a  middle  course  and  to  adopt  a  type  of 
vessel  which,  while  it  showed  many  improvements,  was  yet  suitable  to  local 
conditions  in  point  of  draft,  and  retained  the  principle  of  combined  cargo 
and  passenger  traffic.  Such  a  steamer,  afterwards  the  *Hammonia'  (III), 
was  ordered  in  January  1881.  At  the  same  time,  the  then  existing  steamers 
were  remodelled  at  considerable  cost,  most  of  them  receiving  an  increase 
in  deck  constructions,  so  as  to  meet  the  modern  requirements  of  passenger 
traffic  and  turn  the  hold  to  good  account  for  cargo  purposes. 

The  animated  emigration  and  the  rise  in  the  cargo  trade  which  began  in  the 
year  1881,  necessitated  the  despatch  of  boats  to  New  York  twice  a-week. 

In  New  York,  the  Bremen  and  the  Hamburg  steamers  had  hitherto  made  use 
of  the  same  landing-place,  even  after  its  purchase  by  the  North  German  Lloyd. 
But,  on  the  introduction  of.  the  weekly  double  service,  the  space  at  disposal 
proved  inadequate.  The  Packetfahrt  consequently  acquired,  in  1881,  an  advan- 
tageously situated  landing-place.  Here,  at  a  cost  of  about  3  million  marks, 
warehouses,  wharfs,  bridges  and  dwellings  for  the  higher  officials  were 
erected,  which  still  have  but  few  rivals  in  the  whole  harbour  of  New  York 

The  concern,  which  had  already  attained  vast  proportions,  receive 
such  an  impulse  from  the  increased  trade  with  New  York  and  the  openir 
of  new  lines  to  the  West  Indies  that  the  Company's  steamers,  in  the  yes 
1884,  covered  upwards  of  one  million  knots.  Two  years  later,  anotht 
new  line  was  started,  namely,  that  between  Stettin  and  New  York. 

In  1887,  a  thorough  reorganisation  of  the  fleet  was  commenced.  What 
ever  was  no  longer  in  accord  with  modern    demands  was  removed   an

replaced  by  improved  material:  the  old  'Spardeck'    ships  were  disposed-of, 
and  the  West  India  Fleet  augmented  by  the  formation  of  a  fifth  line. 

It  was  now  deemed  an  appropriate  time  for  entering  on  the  question 
of  the  fast  steamer;  especially  as  the  twin-screw  steamers  of  the  English 
lines  had  manifested  various  advantages  over  other  vessels:  they  not  only 
possessed  higher  velocity,  but  also  great  security,  since,  if  one  machine 
became  damaged,    the  vessel  could  still  proceed  though  at  reduced  speed. 

The  Company,  accordingly,  decided  to  adopt  this  system.  A  German  and 
An  English  firm  each  received  orders  for  the  building  of  a  twin-screw  steamer. 
Cfcrman  shipbuilders  were  thus  given  the  opportunity  of  showing  what  they 
could  do  i  n  the  production  of  vessels  of  the  largest  proportions :  hitherto  no 
attempt  had  been  made  in  Germany  'to  build  steamers  of  such  dimensions. 

Furthermore,  increased  comfort  for  emigrants  was  also  a  matter  of 
consideration;  and  the  steerage  was  accordingly  divided  into  chambers, 
nn  improvement  greatly  appreciated  by  the  passengers. 

The  long  depression  that  had  existed  in  the  cargo  trade  came  to  an 
end  in  1888,  and  was  followed  by  a  brisk  rise.  The  opportunity  of 
extending  its  operations -was  not  lost  by  the  Packetfahrt.  A  new  line  was 
started  to  Baltimore,  the  despatches  to  the  West  Indies  were  increased  to 
six  per  nitmth,  the  four  steamers  of  the  Hamburger  Carr  Line,  which  was 
viOLind-Lip  in  this  year,  were  purchased,  orders  were  placed  for  ne>X' 
vessels,  and  the  share  capital  of  the  company  raised  to  30,000,000  marks 
for  the  purpose  of  acquiring  two  more  fast  steamers. 

Moreover,  the  formation,  in  the  year  1889,  of  a  line  of  boats  to 
Ptiihidelphia  is  to  be  noted. 

The  Urst  two  fast  steamers,  the  **Auguste  Victoria**  and  the  **  Columbia", 
were  delivered  in  1889,  and  were  followed,  in  1891,  by  the  '*Fiirst 
Bismarck".  This  last  ship  was  also  built  in  Germany,  and  made,  in  her 
first  year,  the  fastest  voyage  between  Southampton  and  New  York  that 
had  as  yet  been  accomplished. 

The  form  and  fittings  of  the  steamers  of  the  Hamburg-American  Line, 
keeping  piice  with  technical  progress,  have,  in  the  course  of  time,  passed 
through  many  transformations.  The  earliest  steamships  were  fitted  with 
wooden  bulwarks  and  deck-cabins.  Next  came  the  'spardeck'  system  with 
Hat  decks  and  but  few  constructions  on  them.  This  type"  of  vessel  held 
the  field  on  the  New  York  Line  till  the  opening  of  the  eighties,  being 
followed  hy  the  three-deckers  with  bridge,  back  and  poop  stretching  a  long 
*  distance  fore  and  aft.  In  the  spardeck-ships,  the  first  saloon  on  the  main 
deck  ran  from  the  engines  to  the  stern,  and  was  surrounded  by  the 
passengers*  berths,  which  lined  both  sides  of  the  boat.  Amidships,  and 
rni  both  sides  of  the  boiler  and  engine,  were  the  officers'  cabins  &c.; 
'.vhilc  fore,  la}^  the  second  saloon  with   the  second-class  cabins. 

FroiTt  the  very  commencement,  the  fast  steamers,  by  their  speed  and 
inagniticejice,  won  the  favour  of  the  public.  The  *Auguste  Victoria",  whicl 
at  first  was  only  I4OV2  metres  long,  was  afterwards  lengthened  by  the  inser 
tion  of  a  new  part;  her  measurements  then  being, —  length  159*14  metres 
breadth  1 7*2  metres,  draft  10*3  metres.  The  engines  had  an  indicated  H-] 
of  13,3U},  and  gave  the  vessel  a  mean  speed  of  19  knots  per  hour. 

The  Auguste  Victoria  and  the  Furst  Bismarck  were  in  the  Nortl 
Atlantic  nervice  and  were  also  employed  as  pleasure  steamers.  In  1904 
both  vessels,  as  well  as  the  Columbia  wer-e  sold  to  make  room  for  the  two 
large  ocean  steamers  "Amerika"  and  *Kaiserin  Auguste  Victoria".  It  is  not  in

their  speed,  but  in  their  appointments,  size  and  remuncrativeness,  that  these 

two    new    steamers    illustrate   Uie    progress   of  ship-building.     What  the 

Company  has  accomplished  in  tlie  former  direction  may  be  gathered  from 

the  following  statistics,    which  show  the   different  fastest    voyages    made, 

several  of  them  forming  the  present  record.

This  increase  in  speed  is  due  not  only  to  modificati 
vessels  but,  above  all,  to  the  improvement  in  the  engines  and  machinery. 

The  Hamburg-American  Line  was  one  of  the  first  shipping  companies  to 
adopt  the  compound  engines,  some  of  their  vessels  having  been  fitted  with  the 
triple  expansion  system  as  early  as  1886.  Their  present  fleet  is,  in  the  main, 
supplied  with  these  engines ;  though,  to  avoid  vibration,  the  latest  steamers 
are  propelled  by  the  new  quadruple  expansion  engines  on  Schlick's  system. 

The  improvement  in  the  machinery  was  accompanied  by  a  consider-- 
able  reduction  in  the  proportionate  consumption  of  coal,  the  quantity  now 
required  for  one  indicated  H-P  per  hour  being  65  kg.  Of  course,  the  total 
consumption  of  coal  has  risen  enormously  with  the  growth  of  the  fleet. 
In  1856,  the  first  year  in  which  the  vessels  were  driven  by  steam,  only 
8,000  tons  were  required.  But,  from  the  foundation  of  the  company  to 
the  present  time,   15,000,000  tons  have  been  consumed. 

In  1891,  to  find  employment  for  the  fa^  steamers,  which  formerly  lay  idle 
during  the  winter,  the  Company  started  pleasure  trips  to  Italy  and  the  Orient. 

The  trial  succeeded  beyond  all  jexpectation,  the  orient  voyage  of  the 
"Auguste  Victoria"  being  a  phenomenal  success.  The  trips  consequently 
became  a  permanent  institution;  and  voyages  to  the  West  Indies,  and 
annual  pleasure  trips  to  the  land  of  the  midnight  sun  (first  voyage  1894) 
were  introduced,  the  steamer  going  as  far  as  Spitzbergen.  The  opportunities 
thus  afforded  to  tourists  are  made  good  use  of;  and  a  satisfactory  number 
of  passengers  is  always  obtained.  One  can  scarcely  conceive  of  a  more 
delightful  journey  than  in  such  a  floating  palace,  which  carries  the  voyager, 
surrounded  by  all  the  most  modern  comforts,  into  the  wildest  and  most 
inhospitable  regions  of  the  earth. 

Moreover,  in  order  to  extend  these  pleasure  voyages,  a  yacht,  called  the 
*Prinzessin  Victoria  Luise",  has  been  built  (1900).  It  is  the  first  boat  specially 
designed  for  pleasure  trips,  and  has  won,  everywhere,  general  admiration. 
Having  been  honoured  by  a  visit  from  the  German  Emperor  a  few  days 
after  the  trial  trip,  she  left  Hamburg  on  January  S'h  1901  fbr  her  first 
cruise  to  the  West  Indies,  and  has,  since  then,  cruised  with  great  success 
also  in  the  Mediterranean,  the  Black  Sea,  round  the  British  Isles,  in 
Norway  and  to  the  Northern  capitals. 

The  success  of  the  *Prinzessin  Victoria  Luise*'  and  the  desire  to  bring 
these  exceedingly  healthy  and  educative  pleasure  trips  within  reach  of  a 
larger  public  led  to  the  building,  in  1904,  of  another  tourist  steamer  of 
similar  dimensions  to  that  of  the  **Prinzessin  Victoria  Luise"  but  with  les? 
luxurious  appointments.  This  new  steamer,  named  the  *Meteor"  and 
intended  solely  for  pleasure  touring,  commenced  its  maiden  voyage  on  the

"Prinzen"  Steamer  of  the  Hamburg-American  Line. 
{Passenger  and  Cargo  Vessel  of  medium  size.) 


Hamburg-American  Line's  Tourist  Steamer  "METEOR", 
for  Scandinavian  and  Mediterranean  Trips. 


3rd  June  19U4,  coasting  along  Norway  up  to  Droiitheim.  -In  the  following 
month  five  similar  trips  followed.  Voyages  to  the  watering-places*  of 
North  West  Europe  and  to  the  Mediterranean  were  made  in  the  Autumn 
and  Winter  months.  By  the  introduction  of  this  vessel,  1st  class  sea 
voyages  have,  for  the  first  time,  been  rendered  as  cheap  as  land  journeys 
of  a  similar  length.  As  a  consequence,  the  public  have  shown  there  appre- 
ciation of  the  undertaking  in  the  most  lively  manner. 

The  separation  of  goods  and  passenger  traffic,  —  necessitated  by  the 
Introduction  of  the  fast  steamers,  —  induced  the  company  to  construct,  from 
the  middle  of  the  nineties  onwards,  new  vessels  adapted  to  carrying  a  certain 
number  of  passengers  and  yet  capable  of  stowing  enormous  quantities  of  cargo. 

These  vessels  were  styled  "Steamers  of  the  *P'  class".  The  first  of 
them  was  the  'Pennsylvania*,  a  twin-screw  steamer,  having  a  length  of 
170Vs  ^*^  ^  breadth  of  18*96  m.  and  a  draft  of  1156  m.  The  engines 
indicate  5,0()0  H-P.  and  propel  the  ship  at  a  mean  speed  of  13  V4  knots  per 
hour.  The  registered  gross  tonnage  is  13,333;  and  the  vessel  can  carry 
a  cargo  of  about  14,000  tons.  The  'Pennsylvania'  and  her  sister  ships,  the 
Tretoria',  *?atricia*  and  *Graf  Waldersee',  were,  at  the  time  of  their  building, 
the  largest  vessels  in  the  world  and  remained  the  largest  German  cargo  boats 
till  the  Ham  burg- American  Line  ordered  their  gigantic  passenger  and  freight 
slEQTTiers  *Amerika'  (22,225  tons)  and  'Kaiserin  Auguste  Victoria'  (24,581  tons). 
To  transport  the  cargo  of  a  P-steamer  by  rail,  28  trains  of  50  double  trucks 
each  are  necessary.  These  mountains  of  goods,  by  the  help  of  22  wind- 
lasses, disappear  on  board  through  9  loading-holes.  The  ships  are  so- 
called  *  three -deckers"  or  "storm-deckers",  that  is,  the  structures  on  deck 
tie  BO  high  above  the  surface  of  the  water,  that,  even  when  the  sea  is 
running  high,  it  does  not  become  necessary  for  passengers  to  go  below. 
AU  the  passenger  arrangements  lie  on  the  two  promenade  decks  above  the 
main  deck.  In  the  interior,  there  are  2  further  decks;  so  that  each  vessel 
has  a  total  of  five,  •  and,  besides  its  vast  cargo,  can  take  3,000  passengers  on 
board.  For  the  transport  of  fresh  meat,  there  are  ice-chambers  having  a 
capacity  at'  33,000  cubic  feet;  while  the  stalls  accommodate  400  live  cattle. 

A  further  important  advance  in  shipbuilding  is  marked  by  the  com- 
pletion of  the  fast-steamer  ** Deuischland" .  This  vessel,  which  began  its 
lirst  voyage  on  the  5th  July  1900,  was  built  at  the  "Vulcan  Works"  in 
Stettin,  Its  engines,  with  37,800  H-P.,  afford  it  the  enormous  speed  of 
more  than  23*5  knots  per  hour.  It  has  cabin  accommodation  for  767  pas- 
sengers; and  its  saloons,  offices  and  cabins  are  so  beautiful  that  the  vessel 
soon  acquired  the  title  of  *The  loveliest  ship  in  the  world".  ''The  blue 
ribbon  of  the  Atlantic"  was  won  by  her  on  her  first  appearance  on  the 
ocean.  Since  the  "Deutschland"  entered  the  service,  a  number  of  other 
[lew  steamers  have  been  introduced  by  the  Hamburg-American  Line,  the 
principal  of  them  being  the  ""Moltke"  and  *Blucher".  Equal  to  the  ''P" 
liners  in  comfort  and  steadiness,  but  fitted  with  greater  luxury  and 
possessing  a  much  higher  speed,  these  vessels  began  running  theii 
Atlantic  voyages  in  the  spring  and  summer  respectively  of  1902,  anc 
^ince  then  have  become  great  favourites  among  American  travellers,  a! 
they  represent  the  latest  development  in  ocean  travel  de  luxe. 

The  success  of  these  ships  —  whose  steady  motion  and  unexceller 
comfort  and  beauty  withdrew  many  a  passenger  from  the  elder  fas 
steamers  —  induced  the  Hamburg- American  Line  to  ord^r  two  steamerb 
of    medium    speed    but    of   an    exceptionally    handsome   and    roomy  type.

\ 


These  are  the  above-mentioned  twin-screw  steamers  •Amerika"  and 
•Kaiserin  Auguste  Victoria".  The  former,  built  by  Harland  &  Wolf  of 
Belfast,  made  its  first  passage  on  the  U^h  of  Oct.  1905:  the  latter,  built  at 
the  Stettiner  Vulcan  Docks,  made  its  maiden  trip  on  the  lO^h  May  1906. 
Together,  they  undoubtedly  form  the  finest  vessels  of  the  Company's  fleet. 
The  larger  of  them,  the  •Kaiserin  Auguste  Victoria",  with  a  length 
of  700  feet,  breadth  77  feet  and  depth  54  feet,  possesses  an  average 
speed  of  17  knots.  Its  greatest  displacement  is  42,500  tons,  with 
accommodation  for  1,100  calkin  and  2,300  steerage  passengers.  More- 
over, being  registered  to  carry  24,581  gross  registered  tons,  it  will 
be  able  to  take  a  cargo  of  16,000  tons.  Besides  the  saloons  customary 
on  large  German  steamers,  the  present  vessel  is  provided  with  a  special 
restaurant  under  the  same  management  as  Hotel  Ritz  in  Paris,  thus  enabling 
cabin  passengers,  if  they  wish,  to  purchase  tickets  for  the  voyage  only, 
and  to  take  their  meals  as  they  please  in  the  restaurant. 

For  the  tra^c  with  Mexico  and  South  America,  as  well  as  between  Genoa 
and  New  York,  there  were  built,  in  1901—1903,  seven  steamers  of  the  •Prinzen" 
class,  all  somewhat  smaller  than  those  of  the  North  Atlantic  traffic,  but  splen- 
didly and  suitably  fitted.  On  their  first  appearance  in  the  harbours  ofBrazil  and 
Mexico,  they  aroused  general  enthusiasm,  being  the  largest  and  most  beautiful 
that  had  ever  been  placed  in  regular  service  to  these  countries. 

In  the  summer  of  1907  were  introduced  Ihc  "President  Grant"  and 
the  "President  Lincoln",  —  two  steamers  similar  to  the  P-liners  but  of 
a  larger  type.  They  are  about  183  metres  in  length,  with  a  gross 
tonnage  of  about  18,120  and  an  average  speed  of  about  14  knots.  Their 
crews  number  about  344  each;   and  they  can  carry   3,805  passengers. 

Another  steamer,  to  be  launched  in  1910,  is  now  on  the  stocks. 
Its  measurements  exceed  by  500/o  those  of  the  "Kaiserin  Auguste 
Victoria";  and  it  will  have  a  gross  tonnage  of  34,000. 

The  following  table  shows  the  growth  in  the  dimensions  of  the  Com- 
pany's steamers:  —

The  larger  and  moft  powerful  the  Company  gfew,  the  greater  became 
•  its  ascendancy  over  the  other  concerns  which,  in  the  course  of  time,  had 
introduced  regular  services  between  Hamburg  and  other  ports  not  called-at 
by  the  boats^  of  the  Packetfahrt.  It  was  particularly  difficult  for  those 
companies  wliich  traded  to  New  York  and  the  ports  of  the  same  'hinter- 
land* to  compete  with  the  great  rival.  One  such  company  was  the  Hansa 
Line,  which  had  been  running  boats  to  Montreal  and  Boston  from  1881. 
It  was  incorporated  with  the  Packetfahrt  in  the  year  1892;  and  its  nine 
Atlantic  liners  were  taken  over  at  a  cost  of  five  million  marks.  The 
voyages  to  New  Orleans,  which  shortly  before  the  amalgamation  had  been 
re-opened  in  conjunction  with  the  Hansa,  were  now,  like  those  to  Montreal 
and  Boston,  regularly  run. 

Thus  the  company  had  gradually  extended  the  network  of  its  opera- 
tions from  Hamburg  to  all  the  principal  North  American  ports  of  the 
Atlantic  sea-board,  to  the  Antilles  and  to  the  north  coast  of  South 
America,  /.  e,  from  the  St.  Lawrence  to  Venezuela. 

But  the  company  did  hot  rest  on  its  oars.  In  the  3rear  1896  came 
a  new  line  from  Genoa  to  La  Plata.  The  share  capital  was  raised,  within  a 
few  years,  from  30  million  to  80  million  marks,  and  the  fleet  enlarged  by 
the  addition  of  new  vessels.  The  year  1898  saw  an  important  extension 
in  the  shape  of  a  service  to  East  Asia.  The  Imperial  Mail  contract  of 
the  North  German  Lloyd  was  shared  by  the-  Hamburg- American  Line,  the 
number  of  voyages  being  doubled  and  the  company  placing  orders  for 
4  large  mail-steamers.  In  conjunction  with  Lloyd,  too,  a  line  of  cargo- 
steamers  to  East  Asia  was  inaugurated  in  January  1898.  The  competing 
Hamburg-Kingsin  Line  was  bought  up;  and  soon  afterwards  a  line  of 
cargo-steamers  was  started  from  New  York  to  East  Asia  via  the  Suez 
Canal.  The  Chinese  service  received  its  final  form  in  the  Spring  of  1901: 
the  Hamburg- American  Line  then  acquired  the  German  Mail  Line  to 
Tsingtau  (Kiautschau)  and  Tschifu  (Tientsin),  started  the  line  '^Canton- 
Hongkong-Shanghai",  joined  in  the  Yangtse  trade,  (Shanghai-Hankau), 
and  opened  working  departments  at  Hongkong,  Tsingtau  and  Shanghai, 
obtaining  in  the  latter  place  extensive  harbour  room.  Moreover,  the 
company  has  increased  its  coasting  trade  in  East  Asia  by  the  lines 
Hongkong -Nagasaki -Vladivostok,  (opened  in  1902),  Wuhu  -  Chingkiang- 
Canton  (1902),  Hongkong- Vladivostok  (1902),  and  Hongkong-Port  Arthur- 
Chemulpo-Dalny  (1903).  The  year  1903  also  saw  a  re-arrangement  of  the 
mail  and  cargo  service  of  the  combined  Hamburg-American  Line  and  the 
North  German  Lloyd.  The  contracting  parties  agreed,  for  practical 
reasons,  to  give  up  mutual  working  and  simply  to  avoid  competition  with 
one  another.  Since  then  the  Hamburg- American  Line's  cargo  service  to 
East  Asia  and  the  North  German  Lloyd's  Imperial  Mail  service  have  been 
separately  conducted  by  their  respective  owners.  Of  course  the  Hamburg- 
American  Line  no  longer  shares  the  government  subvention  for  the  mail 
service  to  East  Asia.  In  June  1900  a  new  line  to  Northern  Brazil  was 
opened,  the  Hamburg  de  Freitas  Company's.  Lines  to  South  America  being 
purchased  a  few  months  later.  Thus,  at  the  present  day,  the  whole  of 
the  Hamburg  Lines  trading  with  the  East  Coast  of  South  America  are 
worked  by  the  Hamburg-American  Line  in  conjunction  with  the  Hamburg- 
South  American  Steamship  Company.  Moreover,  since  the  commencement 
of  1901,  a  contract  exists  by  which  the  Hamburg-American  Line  takes 
part  in  the  service    of  the  Hamburg-Kosmos  Line    on    the  West  Coast  of 

26 


America,  to  Chili,  Peru,  Ecuador,  Central  America^  San  Francisco  and  the 
harbours  of  Paget  Sound;  while  the  Company  acquired,  in  April  1901, 
the  English  Atlas  Line,  working,  with  7  steamers,  3  lines  from  New  York 
to  the  West  Indies  and  the  neighbouring  ports  of  the  mainland,  this 
service  being  augmented  by  a  line  from  New  York  to  Jamaica.  Another 
recent  and  important  extension  is  the  six-day  fast  tug  service  started  in 
April  1902  between  Hamburg  and  the  Rhenish  Provinces.  In  the  year 
1903  were  added  a  direct  line  of  passenger  steamers  to  Mexico  and  a 
line  for  the  transport  of  ore  from  the  North  (Narvik  and  Lulea)  to  ^e 
Rhenish  ports  and  Emden.  Jointly  with  the  North  German  Lloyd,  the 
Scandia  Line  of  the  Hamburg- American  Company  was  extended,  in  1904,  to 
the  ports  of  Norway  and  Sweden  in  order  to  obtain  a  share  in  the  emigrant 
traffic  from  those  countries.  At  the  close  of  1902  a  'Season  Service"  was 
introduced  from  Genoa  along  the  Riviera  coast  to  Nice, —  not  to  mention 
the  numerous  improvements  and  extensions  of  already  existing  lines. 

In  the  summer  of  1900  came  the  task,  shared  with  the  North  German 
Lloyd,  of  transporting  the  German  troops,  ammunition,  commissariat  &c. 
to  China,  as  well  as  of  carrying  the  necessary  horses  from  San  Francisco 
to  the  scene  of  war.  For  this  purpose,  the  Hamburg-American  Line  provided 
13  steamers.  Furthermpre,  the  steamer  Savoia  was  fitted  up  as  a  hospital  ship, 
and  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  German  Emperor.  In  the  estimation  of  the 
authorities  and  of  the  officers  and  troops  carried,  the  company  performed, 
in  a  most  satisfactory  manner,  both  the  above  task  and  that  of  trans- 
porting back  the  troops  and  horses  to  Germany  in  the  summer  of  1901. 

The  Herero  insurrection  led  to  the  Hamburg-American  Line's  being 
called  upon  in  1904  to  transfer  troops  and  horses  to  German  South 
West  Africa. 

Special  mention  must  also  be  made  of  the  Company's  activity  in 
arranging  pleasure  trips.  It  was  in  the  spring  of  1891  that  the  fast 
steamer  Auguste  Victoria  made  her  first  voyage  to  the  Orient;  and  since 
then  the  service  has  grown  in  favour  year  by  year.  Besides  this  vessel, 
other  passenger  steamers  as  well  as  two  specially  appointed  tourist 
steamers  —  "Meteor'*  and  ^'Ozeana'*  —-  make  annual  trips  to  the  East, 
to  Norway  (North  Cape),  Spitzbergen  and  Iceland,  to  the  West  Indies,  to 
famous  watering-places  &c. 

In  1904  the  Company  took  over  Carl  Stangen's  Tourist  OfQce  in 
Berlin. 

In  connection  with  the  Hamburg  and  Anglo-Anjerican  Nile  Company 
founded  in  1905,  the  company  now  shares  in  the  passenger  navigation 
on  the  Nile,  a  special  express  service  Berlin-Naples-Alexandria  having 
been  inaugurated  in  1906.  The  same  year  saw  the  inception  of  a  service 
to  the  ports  of  Arabia,  Persia  and  the  Sudan,  as  well  as  a  fast-steamer 
service  to  La  Plata.  A  year  later  were  bought  eight  steamers  of  the 
Woerraann  Line,  in  conjunction  with  which  company  eleven  regular  lines 
are  run  to  Africa. 

At  the  present  day  the  lines  of  the  Hamburg-American  Coippany  encom- 
pass the  whole  globe.  In  the  following  list  we  give  an  enumeration  of  the 
different  steamship  lines  which,  in  5ie  summer  of  1907,  were  worked 
either  by  the  Company  alone    or  in  conjunction    with    other  shipowners.

As  the  fleet  grew  in  size,  it  became  necessary  to  extend  the  dock 
room  and  the  various  premises.  In  the  year  1903,  the  Hamburg  government 
iiompleted  a  large  harbour  with  four  quays  to  be  leased  to  the  Line  at  a 
cent  of  IV3  million  marks  per  annum.  Similarly,  at  Emden,  harbour  pre- 
inises  and  workmen's  houses  for  the  requirements  of  the  line  were  con- 
structed. Great  progress  has  also  been  made  in  the  arrangements  for 
emigration,  the  Emigrants'  Hall  on  the  Veddel  in  Hamburg  having  been 
opened  in  1902.  It  is  a  model  building  which  obtained  the  highest  award 
i\\  the  last  Paris  exhibition;  and  its  appointments,  both  from  a  hygienic  and 
a  social  point  of  view,  leave  nothing  to  be  desired.  Moreover,  not  to  speak 
of  smaller  constructions,  the  vast  quay-premises  of  the  Company  in  New  York 
are  also  being  extended;  and  large  offices  have  been  erected  ontbeAlster 
nt  Hamburg.  Occupation  was  taken  of  these  vast  Administrative  Buildings 
[*n  Alsterdamm  and  in  Ferdinand-street  in  June  1903. 

Among  the  various  institutions  for  the  benefit  of  the  company's 
employees,  one  of  the  most  prominent  is  the  **Invalids',  Widows'  and 
•hyhans'  Fund'*,  which  has  existed  from  1888.  On  its  foundation,  the 
L'ninpany  subscribed  to  the  funds  the  sum  of  M.  30,000.  Moreover, 
until  the  concern  has  become  self-supporting,  an  annual  contribution, 
amounting  to  half  the  total  premiums,  is  to  be  made.  The  members  con- 
sist of  the  •  inspectors,  captains,  officers,  engineers,  subordinate  officers  &c. 
M\d  of  all  assistants  employed  in  the  head-office,  the  freight  and  passenger 
departments,  the  forwarding  offices,  in  the  docks  and  on  the  quays. 

In  foreign  ports,  the  company  owns  the  following  buildings  and 
erections:  at  Stettin  a  store-shed,  at  Havre  a  coal-shed,  at  Cherbourg  a 
ianding-place,  at  Montreal  stores,  at  Hohoken  the  landing-place  already 
mentioned,  at  SU  Thomas  a  landing-place  with  several  store-sheds,  a  large 
coal-wharf  and  overseers*  dwellings,  at  Kingston  (Jamaica)  and  at  Para 
(North  Brazil)  large  structures,  at  Hongkong  and  Tsingtau  offices,  at 
Shanghai  extensive  harbour  room,  &c.  This  year  the  Company's  new 
premises  at  41/45  Broadway,  New  York,  will  be  opened. 

Thus,  at  the  present  day,  the  Hamburg-American  Line,  so  humble  in 
its  inception,  has  grown  into  a  shipping  company  of  vast  proportions, 
and,  indeed,  has  no  superior  in  the  whole  world.  Does  not  its  growth 
reflect  a  period  in  the  history  of  civilisation?  Is  it  not,  moreover,  prin- 
cipally to  the  great  shipping  companies  that  the  rise  of  German  trade  and 
industry  is  due?  They  have  co-operated  untiringly,  as  pioneers,  in  the 
endeavour  to  push  German  commerce  to  a  leading  place  among  the 
emporiums  of  the  world,  and  to  render  the  commercial  navy  of  Germany 
one  of  the  mightiest  and  most  respected.

Gennany  and  the  German-spealLiDg  Coimtries. 


The  confines  of  Germany  have  varied 
considerably  at  different  periods 
At  one  time,  they  included  all  conntries 
inhabited  by  the  peoples  speaking  the 
German  tongue,  whether  High  German 
or  Low  German.  The  lands  which  were 
under  their  domination  were  also  in- 
cluded in  the  German  Empire,  then 
called  <<D«s  ttomUeh-Uentsebe  Belch". 
Its  emperors  were  l^rinces  of  South- 
German  kingdoms,  nominally  elective, 
but  practically  hereditary.  The  sceptre 
was  held  longest  by  the  House  of  Haps- 
burg,  into  whose  hands  it  past  in  1»8: 
it  was  transferred,  by  the  marriage  of 
Maria  Theresia  with  Franz  Stephen, 
to  the  House  of  Hapshurg-L'rraine,  with 
whom  it  remained  till  the  hamiliation 
of  Austria  bv  Napoleon  in  180>. 

In  the  following  year  the  Reichstag, 
composed  of  the  German  Princes  entitled 
to  elect  the  Kaiser  and  to  determine 
the  politics  of  the  Empire  (Electors), 
was  dissolved.  In  its  place  follo'w^ed  a 
federation  of  German  Princes,  called 
the  Bheinband,  which  was  under  the 
protection  of  Napoleon  and  indeed 
controlled  by  him.  Franz  IL  of  Austria, 
having  lost  all  real  power,  dropped  the 
title  of  the  Emperor  of  Germany  and 
styled  himself  Emperor  of  Austria. 

The  old  German  Empire,  or  **Eolj 
Soman  Empire  of  the  6eE|nan  Nation", 
thus  ceased  to  exist;  and  the  Khembund 
which  succeeded  it,  continued  only  till 
1813,  being  then  destroyed  by  the  iresh 
outbreak  of  Napoleonic  wars  which 
terminated  at  the  field  of  Waterloo. 

On  the  9ti»  of  June  1815,  a  new  com- 
pact was  agreed  to  among  the  German. 
Princes:  it  was  arranged  that  the  com- 
mon interests   of  the   different  states, 
from  Austria  on  the  South  to  Holstein 
on  the  North,  should  be  cared  for  by  a 
Federal  House  (Bundestag)  to  meet  at 
Frankfort  o/M.   and    in   which  Austria 
bad  the  conduct  of  business.    It  was 
determined  that  differences  among  the 
members    should    be    settled    by    this 
destag.    But  the  organisation  was 
)ry  loose  one;  and,  in  186H,  the  two 
ing    members    of    the    Federation, 
tria  and  Prussia,  became  entangled 
.  dispute  that  was  only  settled   by 
appeal  to  arms.     The  result  being 
stroas  for  the  former  state,  and  the 
id   having  ceased   to  exist,  a  fresh 
)ration,called  the  Norddnutsche  Bund, 
formed   This,  under  Bismarck's  iron 
d,  was  destined  to  be  the  snlvatlon 
ermany,  for  it  is  doubtful  whether 


her  divided  members  would,  otherwise, 
have  been  abTe  to  withstand  the  French 
invasion  that  followed  a  few  years  later. 

The  confiiot,  known  as  the  Franoo- 
Prussian  War,  sprang  nominally  out  of 
a  disagreement  with  regard  to  the  Spanish 
succession.  It  was  on  the  Ifitla  of  July  1870 
that  the  disrupture  ot  diplomatic  re- 
lations occurred  ^of.  Ems,  route  97  b); 
while  the  declaration  of  war  took  place 
on  the  19th  of  the  same  month. 

The  decisive  battle  was  fonght  at 
Sedan  on  the  t** September,  Napoleon  HI. 
surrendering  next  day.  Seventeen  days 
later,  the  siege  of  Paris  began  and  lasted 
through  an  exceptionally  severe  winter 
till  the  28th  of  January  1871.  On  that 
date  the  capitulation  took  place.  But 
hostilities  continued  for  another  menth; 
while  peace  was  not  concluded  till  the 
treaty  was  signed  at  the  congress  of 
Frankfort  on  the  10th  of  May  18U. 

In  the  meantime,  on  the  18th  January, 
the  King  of  Prussia  had  accepted  the 
(mperial  title  at  Versailles.  The  old 
''Band**  was  dissolved,  and  the  modern 
German  Empire  was  created,  its  affairs 
being  placed  in  the  hands  of  a  Bundes- 
rat  and  ot  a  popular  assembly  called 
the  Beiohstag. 

The  tormer  consists  of  delegates  ap- 
pointed by  the  princes  of  the  several 
federal  states.  The  Kingdom  ot  Prussia 
sends  17  members,  the  Kingdom  of 
Bavaria  6,  the  Kingdoms  of  Saxony  and 
Wui  temberg  4  each,  the  Grand  Duchies 
of  Baden  and  Hessen  8  each,  that  of 
Mecklenburg-Schwerin  2,  the  Duchy  of 
Brunswick  2  and  the  remaining  states 
1  each,  namely:— the  Grand  Dachies  oC 
Sachsen -Weimar,  Mecklenburg- Sttelita 
and  Oldenburg;  the  Duchies  ot  Sachsen- 
Meiningen,  Sachsen- Altenburg,  Sachsen-

The  provinces  of  Elsass  &  Lothringen

may  also  be  noted  here  that  the  Grand 
Dachy  of  Luxembourg,  which  had  been 
erected  in  1815  and  lies  to  the  north-west 
ot  Lorraine,  was  formerly  a  member  of 
the  Federation;  but  in  1871,  its  sovereign 
being  the  then  king  of  the  Netherlands, 
it  was  not  included  in  the  new  Empire. 
Since  the  death  otWillftim III.  of  Holland, 
the  state  has  become,  by  reason  of  the 
Salic  Law,  quite  independent.

The  Bandesrat  is  under  the  Presi- 
dency of  the  Imperial  Chancellor,  who 
is  appointed  by  the  German  Kaiser. 

All  Imperial  bills  must  receive  the 
sanction  of  the  Bundesrat  and  the 
Eeiohstag  before  they  can  become  law; 
while  the  executive  rests  with  the  mi- 
nistry. This  ministry,  however,  though 
acting  for  the  whole  Empire,  is  really 
the  ministry  of  Prussia.  '  Thus,  when 
we  consider  also  the  preponderance  of 
votes  which  Prussia  possesses  in  the 
Bundesrat,  it  becomes  evident  how  gieat 
a  part  this  state  plays  in  the  concerns 
of  Germany. 

Each  individual  state  controls  its 
own  internal  affairs,  and  has,  in  most 
cases,  an  upper  and  a  lower  chamber. 
These  chambers  bear  various  names, 
such  as  Herren-Hans  and  Abgeordneten- 
Haas  (Prussia),  Landtagr  Ac. 

The  boundaries  of  the  present  Empire 
are:  -  the  Baltic  and  North  Seas  with 
Denmark  on  the  North;  Holland,  France 


and  Luxemburg  on  the  West;  SwiiE«r- 
land  and  Austria  on  the  South;  and 
Russian  Poland  on  the  East. 

These  boundaries,  howeve*-,  are  pure- 
ly political:  for,  if  we  regard  the  con- 
figuration of  the  land,  we  must  draw 
a  line  somewhere  through  the  middle 
of  the  country  and  dividing  the  high- 
lands from  the  lowlands,  which  would 
then  include  the  states  to  the  East  and 
West  that  are  historically  separated 
from  Germany;  while  the  Highlands 
to  the  South  are  geogrnphically  in- 
separable from  Switzerland  and  Austria. 
Again,  if  we  turn  to  the  language,  we 
shall  find  that  the  homely  Piatt  dialects 
of  the  North  differ  but  slightly  from  the 
language  of  the  Netherlands;  whereas 
they  are  totally  incomprehensible  to  the 
Bavarian  and  Suabian  peasants,  whose 
vernacular  is  almost  identical  with 
those  of  the  Austrian  and  the  Switzer. 

It  must  not,  however,  be  supposed 
that  the  language   of  the  educated  is

to  any  appreciable  extent  affected  by 
the  influence  of  dialect.  Of  course, 
many  a  Hanoverian,  Westphalian  or 
Hamburgian  still  clings  to  his  stock 
and  steirif  whereas  other  Germans  have 
everywhere  adopted  the  Sch  pronunci- 
ation; while  the  Saxon  speaks  of  Die 
Zauperflode  instead  of  Die  Zauberfldte, 
But  to  these  little  distinctions  one  soon 
becomes  accustomed;  and  the  American 
or  English  tourist  who  has  thoroughly 
mastered  his  German  grammar  will 
soon  be  able  both  to  understand  and 
to  make  himself  understood.  For  those 
speaking  no  German,  there  are,  in  all 
better -class  hotels,  either  interpreters 
or  waiters  who  understand  English. 
But,  as  by  no  means  the  majority  of 
the  inhabitants  speak  more  than  tlieir 
mother-tongue,  some  acquaintance  with 
German,  however  slight,  is  desirable 
for  the  tourist. 

Weights  and  Measures.  From  1871 
the  decimal  system  has  been  in  use. 
The  standard  of  length  is  the  metre. 


which,  pointed  off  decimally,  gives  deci- 
metres and  centimetres.  The  standard 
of  wei^^ht  is  the  gramme,  a  kilogramme 
equallmg  two  German  pounds,  which  is 
rather  more  than  two  English  pounds. 
AS  a  matter  of  fact,  things  are  bought 
and  sold  pro  Pfand  in  Germany.  For 
liquids,  the  standard  is  the  litre.  (See 
Tables  at  end  of  book). 

Money.    The  decimal  system  is  also 
in  use  in    the    coinage.    The  standard 
is  a  Mark  =  100  pfennig.    A  Dollar  is 
about    marks    4*20.     The   coins    are:— 
Gold:     20    mark- piece    (Zwaneign 
stiick),  10  mark-piece  (Zehnmarkst 
Silver:  5   mark-piece  (Fiinfmarksti

THE  HANSE  TOWNS. 

Hansa    —    an   old  Germanic  word 

meaning  originally  "troop"  —  was  the 

name  applied  to  an  ancient  league  of 

trading  towns  in  the  north  of  Europe. 

'''*'-  first  mention  of  the  league  is 

in  English   documents  of  the 

cent.,  while  Hansagrafen  (Pre- 

s  of  the  Hansa)   are  known  to 

existed    in    Ratisbon    as    early 

I.     The  league  seems  to  have 

unded   by  German  merchants 

ad  for  the  purpose  of  protecting 

'"-thering    German   trade.    The 


oldest  guild  was  that  formed  in 
London,  and  upon  which  the  English 
kings  conferred  various  trading  rights. 
A  few  years  later,  privileges  were 
obtained  in  the  Netherlands  by  the 
merchants  of  Hamburg  and  Lubeck; 
and,  40  years  afterwards,  Lubeck 
allied  itself  with  the  Slavonic  (Wen- 
disch)  towns  of  Wismar  and  Rostock. 
A  rapid  development  of  the  league 
at  once  set- in;  so  that,  by  the  end 
of  the  century,  it  consisted  of  four 
divisions,  and  included  most  of  the 
large  towns  of  Germany,  Livonia, 
Esthland  and  Gothland.  Ninety  towns, 
from  Reval  to  Cracow  as  well  as 
from  Cologne  to  Lubeck  and  Wisby, 
joined  the  league  and  a  great  annual 
convention,  called  the  Hansatag,  was

instituted  for  the  purpose  of  seitiing 
its  affiiirs  as  to  admission,  rejection, 
punishments,  disputes  &c.  Its  power 
at  this  time  had  become  so  great  that, 
in  protection  of  its  members,  it  even 
carried  on  wars  with  Den  if)  ark,  and, 
later  on,  with  Norway.  But  the  p.eriod 
of  its  greatest  prosperity  was  from 
the  close  of  the  13  th  century  to  the 
opening  of  the  15th.  It  had,  at  that 
time,  its  agents  in  the  principal  towns 
of  England,  Holland,  France  and  other 
countries,  and  acted  in  Germany  as 
the  channel  through  which  the  pro- 
ducts of  the  North  were  exchanged 
for  those  of  Italy  and  the  Orient, 
thus  rendering  Germany  the  emporium 
of  North-European  commerce. 

Its   great    success,    however,    was 


the  cause  of  its  fall.  Seeking  to  keep 
the  trade  of  Europe  in  its  own  hands, 
it  came  into  conflict  with  England  uid 
the  Netherlands,  lost  its  privileges  in 
these  countries,  and  was  much  crip- 
pled by  the  competition  which  sprang 
up  after  the  discovery  of  America  and 
the  opening- up  of  the  sea- route  to 
India.  Differences  also  arose  among  its 
members,  and  it  was  seriously  injured 
by  the  effects  of  the  Thirty  Years*  War ; 
so  that,  by  the  close  of  the  I7*hcent., 
it  had  become  little  more  than  a  name. 
Three  towns  alone  retained  their  in- 
dependence, namely,  Hamburg,  Bremen 
and  Liibeck  (see  routes  I  and  2). 
These  suffered  severely  during  the 
Napoleonic  wars:  and  only  with 
the  development  of  modern  Germany

HAMBURG. 

This  small  republican  state,  with  its 
present  population  of  about  900,000, 
probably  owes  its  origin  to  a  block- 
house built  by  Charlemagne  in  A.  D.  808 
as  an  outpost  against  the  Slavonians, 
and    called,   from    the    name   of   the 
'ounding      woods,      Han:imaburg. 
tecame,  in  A.  D.  831,  a  bishopric, 
,  under  the  sway  of  Archbishop 
igar,  a  christianising    centre,    not 
f    for    Jutland ,    but    for    almost 
whole    of    Scandinavia.      After 
ing     been   more    than   once    de- 
^yed  by  the  Slavs  and  Northmen, 
began,  in  the  11^  cent.,  to  grow 


into  a  republic.  At  this  period,  its 
Guilds  had  already  been  formed,  and 
in  A.  D.  1189,  for  financially  assisting 
the  Emperor  in  a  crusade,  the  little  state 
obtained  various  privileges,  the  control 
of  the  city  passing  into  the  hands 
of  its  council.  Lying  among  various 
principalities  and  between  Denmark 
and  the  Empire,  it  became  the  frequent 
prey  of  its  more  powerful  neighbours, 
from  whom  it  freed  itself,  more  than 
once,  by  the  payment  of  heavy  fines. 
In  A.  D.  1241,  it  formed  a  commer- 
cial treaty  with  Bremen,  and  became 
a  member  of  the  Hanseatic  League, 
in  which,  however,  it  never  took  a 
very  active  part.  Its  trade  continued 
to  develop,  and,  by  the  year  A.D.  1770, 
its  republican  character  being  firmly 


established,  it  obtained  representation 
and  a  vote  in  the  Reichstag.  A  few 
years  later,  the  conquest  of  Holland 
by  France  drove  commerce  to  Ham- 
burg; but,  in  1806,  the  latter  also 
sufTered  from  the  Napoleonic  invasions, 
and  especially  from  the  consequent 
blockade  of  the  Rib  by  the  English, 
indeed,  when  peace  was  concluded 
In  1814,  the  population  had  fallen 
from  100,000  to  56,000.  The  follow- 
ing year,  the  state  joined  the  German 
Federation,  of  which  it  has  ever  since 
remained  a  faithful  supporter.  In  1842, 
occurred  the  great  lire,  by  which 
over  4,000  buildings,  including  three 
churches,  were  destroyed.  But  the 
opportunity  was  then  taken  to  rebuild 
the    city  on    modern  lines ;    so   that 


Hamburg  forms  quite  an  exception 
among  European  seaports  in  present- 
ing to  the  eye  of  the  visitor  a  most 
modern,  and  elegant  appearance. 

The  present  CITY  contains  a  po- 
pulation of  about  875,000  and,  for  its 
numerous  visitors,  possesses  several

HAMBURG,  unlike  most  harbour 
towns,  possesses  many  fine  streets 
and  squares,  its  beauty  being  also 
greatly  enhanced  by  the  Outer  and  the 
Inner  Alster,  two  lakes  formed  by  the 
expansion  of  a  tributary  of  the  Elb. 
These  twin  sheets  of  water,  joined 
by  the  handsome  Lombard's  Bridge, 
and  animated  by  numerous  boats  and 
troops  of  elegant  swan,  present  a 
strikingly  beautiful  aspect.  It  is  con- 
sequently not  surprising  that  around 
them  have  been  built  some  of  the 
handsomest  villa-lined  roads  of  Ham- 
burg, such  as  An  der  Alster,  Alster- 
damm  and  Jungfernstieg,  the  last, 
widened  by  embankment,  being  one 
of  the  finest  promenades  in  Europe.

excepted.  The  building  is  from  designs 
by  Schirrmacher  and  v.  d,  Hude,  and 
contains  a  good  collection  of  pictures, 
the  most  noteworthy  being  several  by 
Velasquez,  Poussin,  Guido  Rent  and 
a  large  number  by  old  Dutch  masters 
such  as  Jan  Sieen,  Backhuizen, 
van  der  Neer  &c.  On  the  first 
and  second  floors  are  to  be  found 
works  of  modern  painters,  including 
examples  of  Bdcklin,  Lenbach, 
Ackenbach,  Liebermann  and  Anton 


von  l^erner.  There  is  also  a 
fine  collection  of  ^'English  and 
Scotch  Masters"  presented  by  Herm 
G.  C.  Schwabe  in  1884. 

The  gallery  stands  on  the  old 
ramparts,  which,  laid-out  as  gardens 
some  years  ago  and  almost  sur- 
rounding the  inner  city,  form  an 
exceedingly  picturesque  feature.

great  acquisition  to  Hamburg,  as  it 
unites  the  various  main  lines  which 
formerly  terminated  in  the  Berliner, 
Klostertor  and  Lubeck  Stations,  and 
will  take  over  this  year  the  bulk  of

two  lakes.  Keeping  then  to  the  right, 
we  come  to  the  statue  of  Busch, 
the  economist;  while,  to  the  left, 
stands  that  to  the  soldiers  who  fell 
in  the  Franco- Prussian  War  (Krieger- 
Denkmal).  Hence,  we  pass  through 
the  Esplanade  to  Dammthor,  with 
the  General  Post  Office  on  the  one 
hand  and  the  Botanical  Gardens  on 
the  other.  Beyond  the  gate  there 
stands,  at  the  corner  of  Schluter  St., 
the  Central  Telephone  Office.  It  is 
a  handsome  building,  —  said  to  be 
the  largest  of  the  kind  in  the  world. 
To   the    north    of  the  gardens  is   a 


Panorama  of  the  Battle  of  Worth 
(Franco-Prussian  War)  and  the  Zoo- 
logical  Gardens,  the  latter  containing 
some  fine  specimens. 

ROUTE  B:  Taking  the  reverse  di. 
rection  from  the  S.  E.  end  of  Lom-

grounds  toward  Steinthor,  we  pass 
the  following  buildings: —

right,  with  a  statue  of  Adolph  IV.,  the 
count  under  whose  protectorate  the 
town  stood  in  the  1 3tb  century.  Across 
the  ramparts,  at  Lubecker  Thor,  is  the 

Botanical  Museum,  open  daily,  Mon-

Natural  History  Museum,  open 
Sundays  10 — 4  o'clock,  and  week-

Continuing  southwards,  we  pass  the 
Johannis  Kloster,  and  the  site  of  the  old 

Berliner  Bahnhof  to  the  Harbour 
and  the  Quays,  which,  with  their 
enormous  traffic,  present  a  striking 
&  picturesque  appearance.  The  quays, 
that  stretch  for  a  dista'^ce  of  h  miles 
along  the  northern  h  i.  !<  of  the  Elb, 
are  capable  of  ace  )n.>n.iJating  about 
400  ocean-going  vessels  and  a  like 


number  of  river  steamers,  as  well  as 
a  large  quantity  of  smaller  crafL 

In  the  year  1906,  the  number  of 
sea -going  vessels  entering  Hamburg 
was  15,778,  with  a  total  burden  of 
11,039,000  tons.  The  number  of 
vessels  leaving  the  port  was  15,790 
and  their  tonnage  11,008^000.  Apart 
from  the  passenger  traffic  to  all  parts 
of  the  world,  the  importance  which 
navigation  has  for  trade  may  be  seen 
from  the  fact  that  the  yearly  imports 
now  figure  upwards  of  3,215  million 
marks  and  the  exports  2,628  millions. 

From  the  Berliner  Station,  a  tram- 
way runs  alongside  the  quays  down 
to  the  New  ElbbrUcke,  a  bridge 
400  metres  in  length  and  possessing 
a  splendid  portal.

Southwards  from  this  point,  and  close 
to  the  river,  are  the  water-works  and 
reservoir.  The  tower  here,  standing 
on  Elb  Hohe,  affords  an  exceedingly 
fine  view  of  the  harbour  &c. 


In  the  same  spot  is  the  Deutscne 
Seewarte,  the  Meteorological  Station 
of  the  German  Admiralty,  open  for 
inspection  daily  from  11 — 2  o'clock. 
The  Seewarte  was  founded  in  1881 
for  the  purpose  of  scientific  enquiry  into 
nautical  and  meteorological  matters. 
Close  by  is  the  Seemannhaus,  « 
hospital  for  invalided  sailors. 

In  the  immediate  neighbourhood  are 
Circus  Busch,  the  numerous  variety 
theatres  already  mentioned,  and  the 
Panoramas  of  "Trafalgar"  And  of*  The 
Hamburg-American  Liner  passing 
through  the  Channel*.  These  last 
two  are  at  the  southern  corner  of  the 
almost  triangular  "Heiligengeistfeld", 
at  whose  N.  W.  corner  are  situated 
the  Cattle  Market,  Public  Slaughter

comer  of  the  "field**  are  the  Law 
Courts  and  prison.  It  is  intended 
shortly  to  erect  a  new  "Palace  of 
Justice".  The  present  building,  how- 
ever, is  itself  a  new  and  handsome 
pile,  standing  on  the  ramparts^  at 
Holsten  Thor.  These  beautifully  laid- 
out  grounds,  as  we  saw  at  the  be- 
ginning of  our  walk,  add  a  great 
charm  to  the  town.  We  can  now 
continue  our  ramble  along  them  to  the 
BotantcalGardens,  Krieger-  Denkmal, 
Lombards  Brilcke  Sic,  (see  Kunst

iit,    Pauli   is   the    great    spot  for 
amusements  and  the  like,  several  other 


variety  theatres  besides  the  above 
existing  here;  while  its  many  concert 
halls,  restaurants,  shooting  galleries 
&c.  render  it  the  favourite  resort  of 
sailors,  both  German  and  foreign. 
The  motley  crowd  assembled  here 
on  Saturdays  and  Sundays  presents 
a  strikmg  picture  ot  low  life  in  a

A  remarkable  monument  to  Bismarck 
was  erected  on  the  Elbhohe  in  the 
year  1906.  It  represents  the  Iron 
Chancellor  as  Roland  (cf.  Bremen)  and 
is  a  massive  structure  of  Black  Forest 
granite,  the  figure  bemg  mounted  on 
an  enormous  pedestal  with  proportion- 
ately large  bas9  and  an  approach  of 
steps.

held,  every  June,  at  Horner  Moor, 
between  Hamm  and  Wandsbeck, 
the  first  prize  being  of  the  value 
of  100,000  Mks.  A  like  sum  is 
oflfercd  for  the  Grand  Prix,  which 
is   run,    annually,    at  Gross  Borstel, 


a  few  weeks  earlier  than  the  Ger-

of  Hamburg  are  Neuer  Wall,  be-

This  town  adjoins  Hamburg  on 
the  western  side,  and,  though  so  in- 
timately connected  with  the  republic,  is 
distinctly  a  Prussian  town  having  all 
the  characteristics  of  the  Monarchy. 
There  is  a  harbour  and  considerable 
trade. 

In  the  fashionable  street,  Palmaille, 
which  is  pleasantly  lined  with  trees., 
is  a  bronze  statue  of  BlUcher;  while, 
opposite  the  Central  Railway  Station, 


an  interesting  and  fantastic  fountain, 
presented  by  one  of  Altona's  citizens, 
has  been  erected.  A  memorial  of  the 
war  of  1870  stands  close  to  the 
station,  and  another  in  Markt  St. 
At  44  PaUnaille,  there  is  a  Natural 
History  Museum  with  anthropological 
collections.  The  town  contains  also 
a  picture  gallery  m  the  Real  Gym- 
nasium, Kdnig  St.;  while,  in  the  same 
street,  at  number  164,  is  the  theatre. 
Outside  the  town  to  the  west  is 
OTTENSEiV,  in  whose  churchyard 
may  be  seen  the  Tomb  of  Klopstock, 
the  so-called  German  Milton. 

From  Altona,  a  line  of  rail  runs 
down  the  Elb  to  Flottbeck  (leu/els- 
briickej,  and  Blankenese  with  SUll- 
berg;  but  a  more  interestmg  way 
of  making  the^e  favourita  excursions 
is  by  open  carriage  along  the  pretty 
turnpike-road  that  skirts  the  river's 
edge,  or  by  the  well-fitted  steamers 
leaving  St.  Pauli  in  summer  about 
once  every  hour.  The  principal 
places  of  interest  called  -  at  are  the 
following: — 

TEVFELSBRCCKE,    a    favourite 
summer-resort  of  the  citizens  of  Ham- 
burg, and  much  frequented  by  excur- 
sionists from   Hamburg  and    Altona. 
It    may    be    reached    on    foot    from 
Altona  in   40  minutes,   or  from  0th- 
marschen  Station  in  20  minutes:  also 
from  the  electric  tramway  in  7  min., 
the    cars  running  every  10  minutes: 
there    is    also    electric-car    communi- 
cation   with    Hamburg;    though   the 
pleasantest   way  is    by  steamer  (see 
above).      Teufelsbriicke     is    a    truly 
delightful  place  surrounded  by  gardens 
and    parks  of  a  luxuriant  character. 
Lying  on  the  north  bank  of  the   Elb 
at  a  spot  where  the  river  flows  due 
westwards,  and,  moreover,  complc'  * 
enclosed    behind    by  the   uplands 
Schleswig-Holstein,    it   receives 
the  warm    breezes    from    the   s< 
and  enjoys,   for  its  latitude,  an 
ceptionally  mild  climate. 

It  has,  consequently,  been  ohot.

establishment  called  PABK  HOTEL, 
a  bnildine,  or  rather  group  of  badciinsrs, 
appointed  in  the  most  modern  style  and 
furnished  with  every  comfort  The  so- 
called  'old  betel'  contains  numerous 
bed-rooms  (almost  all  looking  south), 
various  drawing-rooms  &c.  ard  a  large 
winter-garden:  it  is  open  to  all  visitors. 
The  'new  hotel'  is  devoted  exclusively 
to  boarders  and  their  guests:  it  pos- 
sesses music  and  reading  rooms  &c. 
From  the  windows,  balconies  and 
galleries,  a  beautiful  view  is  obtained 
across  the  tree-tops  of  the  surrounding 
parkf  to  Teufelsbrttcke  below,  to  Blanke- 
nese,  down-stream,  and  to  the  piotures- 

aue  fishing-village  of  Finkenwarder  on 
le  south  bank  of  the  Elb.  The  park 
—  extensive,  shady  and  charming  —  is 
filled  with  fine  old  trees  that,  here  and 
there,  form  arching  avenues  down  to 
the  acUaoent  river,  which  borders  the 
park  to  the  south.  "  Board  and  lod- 
ging from  60  Mks.  a-week. 

A  few  miles  farther  down  the  river 
lies 

BliANKEWESE,  a  picturesque 
place  with  a  pop.  of  6,(X)0,  consist- 
ing principally  of  sailors  and  fisher- 
folk.     The    spot    is    surrounded    by 


very  pretty  scenery:  the  best  way 
of  visiting  it  is,  therefore,  to  do  the 
outward  journey  in  an  open  carriage 
and  to  return  by  boat  or  vice  versa. 
Among  its  restaurants  the  best  known 
are  the  two  following,  namely: — 

Fahrhans  Blankenese,  well-known  as 
hnving  been  patronised  by  the  reigning 
German  Emperor,  who  lunched  here. 
The  restaurant,  which  affords  a  lovely 
view  ot  the  Elb,  is  reached,  in  6  minutes, 
by  a  flight  of  stone  steps  leading  up 
from  the  landing-stage. 

Above  the  village,  there  rises  a 
chateau  -  like  edifice  called ,  after 
the  name  of  the  hill  on  which  it 
stands, 

Sfillberg  Hotel  -  Peatloiiy  with  first- 
class  Uestanrant.  This  is  a  first-class 
concern  containing  20  rooms  and 
erected  in  1903  on  the  spot  where, 
in  the  ll^l^  century,  the  proud  Arch- 
bishop Adalbert  built  his  castle.  The 
buildings  are  elegantly  constructed  and 
fitted;  and  the  cuisine  (English  and 
French)  if  excellent  StUlberg  is  the

connected  with  Hamburg  by  rail,

thus  unites  the  pleasures  &,  attractions 
of  that  fine  city  with  the  comfort  of 
a  quiet  country- place.  It  is  therefore

This  three-cornered  island,  which,  from 
1814  till  1800,  was  an  English  possession, 
and  was  then  exchanged  for  Zansibar, 
is  well  described  in  the  old  rhyme:— 
*'Green  land,  with  red  band  &  white  sand : 
those  are  the  colours  of  Heligoland". 

The  main  part  of  the  island,  whose 
total  area  is  but  little  more  than  Vf  sq. 


kilometre,  is  an  elevated  plain,  with 
steep  cliffs  180  feet  in  height.  At  the 
south-eastern  base,  the  debris  formed 
by  the  winds  and  waves  has  produced 
an  undershore,  on  and  near  which  the 
town  has  been  built.  An  easy  flight  of 
steps  and  a  lift  connect  the  'unterland' 
with  the  *oberland'. 

The  climate  of  Heligoland  is  one  of 
the  healthiest   hnown.     Diminutive   in 
extent   and   surrounded    by   boundless 
seas,  its  breezes  possess  a  purity  p^*- 
haps    not   to   be   found   at    any   otl 
watering-place  in  Europe;   while 
presence  of  such  a  body  of  salt-wi 
renders  the  temperature,  from  Septt 
her  to  December,  much  higher  than 
any  other  similar  resort.

STLT  is,  perhaps,  the  most  Qurious 
and  interesting  of  all  the  islands  of  the 
Frisian  coast.  Though  possessing  an 
area  of  only  40sq  miles,  it  has,  owing  to  its 
peculiar  shape,  a  seaboard  of  great  extent. 
Except  in  the  middle,  where  a  broad 
and  fiat  Jutland  runs  out  towards 
Schleswig,  the  breadth  of  the  island 
nowhere  exceeds  4  kilometres.  And  yet, 
in  this  narrow  strip  of  land,  there 
is  a  most  striking  variety  of  scenery; 
rugged  and  heath -clad  hills  rising  to 
a  height  of  80  metres,  —  valleys  con- 
taining numerous  lakes  &  tarns,  —  and, 
on  the  east,  rich  pasturea  &  cornfields.

upon  the  town,  an  elegant  'Kurhaus'  has 
been  erected;  and  the  straight,  well-kept

has  a  good  collection  of  amber. 

In  the  Grosse  Kirche,  there  is  a  marble 
monument  of  a  Frisian  Count;  while,  in 
front  of  the  Bathaus,  stands  a  statue 
to  the  Emp.  William  the  First. 

The  commercial  importance  of  Bmden 
is  likely  to  experience  a  considerable 
impulse  from  the  Bhine  traffic,  whioh 
has  now  been  diverted  through  the 
mouth  of  the  Ems  by  the  opening  of  the 
Dortmund-Ems  Canal  (see  Dortmund). 
The  Hamburg- American  Company  now 
runs  a  line  of  ore  steamers  from  Sweden

•  BREMEN, 

the  seeond  in  importanoe  of  the  Haosa 
Republics,  has  a  history  resembliDg  that 
of  Hamburg.  Its  independence  was 
wrang  from  the  Emperor  in  I6i6  and, 
save  for  a  short  interruption^  daring 
the  Napoleonic  wars,  has  been  kept 
inviolate  to  the  present  day. 

The  state  now  contains  two  important 
towns,  Bremen,  the  capital,  and  Bremer-

it  is  indebted  for  its  present  prosperity.

BREMEN,  the  second  port  in  Ger- 
many, contains  many  handsome  build- 
ings standing  side  by  side  with  the 
quaint  structures  of  the  middle-ages. 
The  main  part  ol  the  town  is  built 
on  the  right  bank  of  the  Weser,  the 
ancient  city  being  surrounded  by  a 
moat.  The  old  ramparts  have  been 
laid-out  as  gardens:  at  their  S.  corner 
is  Altmannshohe.  from  which  a  good 
view  of  the  river  is  obtained.

Edifices,  ot  which  the  following  are 
the  most  important: — 

The  Rathaus  (Market  Place),  erected, 
in  Gothic  style,  in  1406,  with  a  late-Re-

figures  of  ten  emperors,  seven  electors 
&c.;  while  the  Renaissance  front  con- 
tains a  handsome  Oriel  window  and 
gable.  In  the  interior,  there  is  an  enorm- 
ous chamber,  called  the  Rathaushalle, 
It  is  of  great  historic  interest  and  con- 
tains medallions  of  German  emperors, 
hanging  ships,  stained-glass  windows 
and  several  noteworthy  paintings. 
Beneath  the  Rathaus  is  the 
Ratskcller,  renowned  for  its  rare 
old  wines  and  as  the  scene  of  Hauft's 
'Phantasy*'.  It  consists  of  several 
chambers  adorned  with  frescoes  by 
Arthur  Fitger  after  the  restoration  in 
1874.  The  most  celebrated  cellar  is  that 
deriving  its  name  from  the  large  rose 
with  which  the  ceiling  is  embellished. 
Under   this   spot   the    elders    of  the 


city  used  to  hold  their  most  solemn 
conclaves,  proceedings  which  took 
place  sub  rosa  being  kept  profoundly 
secret  The  wines  in  this  cellar  are 
Riidesheimer  vintages  of  the  years 
1653,  1666,  1727  and  1784.  The 
price  of  the  flrst  is  said  to  have  been 
300  gold  dollars  in  1653:  at  the  present 
time  it  is  a  drink  for  emperors  and 
millionaires  only,  as,  at  compound 
interest,  the  value  of  a  single  glass 
is  about  1,000,000  dollars. 

Adjoining  the  Rathaus  is  the  Siadi- 
haus;  while,  in  front,  there  rises  a 
huge  figure  called  the  'Roland*.  It  U 
historically  of  the  highest  interest,  as 
it  marks  the  freedom  of  the  city  and 
its  juridical  rights.  On  the  same  spot, 
there  stood,  in  the  14th  cent.,  a  similar

ertction  in  wood,  which,  during  a  fray 
in  1366,  was  burned  by  the  archi- 
episcopal  party.  Fifty  years  later  the 
present  stone  Roland  was  raised.  It 
bears  a  shield  with  a  low -German 
(Platt-Deutsch)  inscription  referring  to 
the  city's  freedom.  Such  Rolands  are 
found  in  considerable  numbers  in  North 
Germany.  Their  origin  still  remains 
obscure;  but  they  seem  in  some  way 
to  be  connected  with  the  famous 
palladin  of  the  Emp.  Charlemagne. 

N.W.  of  the  Rathaus  rises  a  statue 
of  William  I.  To  the  S.E.  stands  the 
Bourse,  an  imposing  Gothic  edifice, 
built  in  1861,  from  designs  by  Miiller. 
The  symbolic  statues  at  the  main 
entrance  and  on  the  side  facing  the 
Cathedral  are  by  Kropp.  The  walls 
of  the  various  rooms  are  embellished 
with  fine  frescoes  by  Fitger. 

To  the  W.  of  the  bourse  is  the 
'SchUtting^  or  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
a  building  erected  in  the  16th  cent.: 
its  west  gable  belongs  to  the  late- 
Gothic  period,  and  its  east  gable  to 
the  early-Renaissance. 

Eastwards  of  the  bourse  rises  the 
Cathedral,  a  Romanesque  building 
begun  in  the  11^  cent,  on  the  site  of 
a  former  church.  Its  original  architect 
commenced  it  on  the  lines  of  Cologne 
cathedral:  his  immediate  successors 
took  that  of  Benevento  as  their  model; 
while  the  whole  underwent  consider- 
able alteration  in  the  13  th  cent.  Aft^r 
a  severe  fire,  in  the  16th  cent,  the 
north  aisle  was  added.  In  1638,  the 
south  tower  collapsed;  the  north  tower 
was  injured  by  lightning  in  1656  and 
again,  by  fire,  in  1767;  the  whole 
being  restored  in  1888. 

The  interior  contains  a  fine  organ 
and  some  excellent  14^h  cent,  reliefs 
&c.:  the  bronze  font  is  11th  cent 
work. 

Beneath  the  building  is  the  celebrated 
'Bleikeller'  (Lead  Cellar),  containing 
several  mummies,  one  of  which  is  said 
to  be  400  years  old.  The  preservative 
character  of  the  cellar  is  supposed 
to    proceed   from    the  fumes  of  the 


lead  melted  in  it  for  covering  the 
roof:  at  any  rate  the  vault  still 
possesses  its  preserving  qualities  as 
may  be  seen  from  the  poultry  ftc. 
hanging  in  it. 

At  the  north  corner  of  the  Doms- 
hof  there  is  a  so-called  Museum,  — 
in  reality  a  clubhouse,  decorated  with 
frescoes  by  Fitger. 

Near  the  Osterthor  (East  Gate), 
there  is  an 

Art  Gallery,  containing,  among  its 
treasures,  a  collection  of  drawings 
by  Diirer. 

At  the  end  of  Obern  St  is 
Ansgariikirche,  and  near  this  the 
offices  of  the  North  German  Lloyd, 
the  Johanneskirche ,  SL  Stevens- 
kirche  &c. 

There  are,  in  this  city,  a  con- 
siderable number  of  bridges,  the  moat 
alone  being  crossed  by  six.  Those 
spanning  the  river  lead  to  the  Neu- 
stadt,  where,  in  Kaiser  St,  stands  Uie 
Industrial  Museum, 

Among  its  monuments,  perhaps  the 
most  beautiful  is  that  to  the  Emp. 
Frederick  IL 

firemen  possesses  a  large  free  har- 
bour necessitated  by  the  accession 
of  the  town  to  the  Custom's  Union 
in  1888.  The  place  has  few  monu- 
ments. The  most  important  are: —  a 
bronze  statue  of  Gustavus  Adolphus, 
designed  by  Fogelberg,  the  Swede. 
Near  Heerdenthor,  in  the  Promenades, 
there  is  a  Marble  Vase:  and  at  Ans- 
gariithor  stands  a  monument  to  the 
Bremen  soldiers  who  fell  in  1870* 

A  favourite  resort  is  the  beautiful 
Burger  Park  in  the  N.E.  of  the  town : 
here  concerts  take  place  on  various 
evenings  of  the  week. 

The  accommodation  for  vessels  in 
Bremen  is  unsuitable  for  modern  traffic; 
consequently,  on  the  advice  of  the 
burgomaster  Smidt,  a  piece  of  land 
was  bought  from  Hannover,  in  1827, 
for   the   foundation   of  a  port,  called

Bremerhaven,  the  port  for  Bremen  has 
a  population  numbering  20,000  and  is 
growing  rapidly.  It  does  a  large  trade, 
and  possesses  considerable  docks  and 
shipping,  including  those  of  the  North 
German  Lloyd.  A  good  view  is 
obtained  from  the  lighthouse. 

1t:    From  HAMBURG,  through  the 

KAISER  WILHELM  CANAL  to  KIEL 

and  LiJBECK. 

KAISER  WILHELM   (North 
Sea  &  Baltic)  CANAL. 

This  canal,  the  foundation  stone  of 
which  was  laid  at  Holtenau  by  Kaiser 
William  I.  in  1887,  is  the  greatest 
triumph  of  .German  engineering.  The 
designer  was  Herr  Baensch  of  Berlin, 
who  completed  the  work  in  1895. 
On  the  1st  of  July  in  that  year,  amid 
deafening  huzzahs,  the  opening  of  the 
canal  by  the  present  Kaiser  took  place. 

The  cost  of  the  undertaking  was 
about  39  million  dollars,  of  which 
Prussia  provided  one  third.  The  length 
of  the  canal,  from  the  North  Sea  to 
Holtenau  in  Kiel  Haven,  is  61  miles; 
its  breadth,  at  the  surface,  is  195  feet, 
at  bottom  72  feet;  depth  29  feet. 
It  thus  admits  the  passage  of  the 
largest  vessels;  while  7  basins,  at 
various  stations,  allow  the  largest 
men-of-war  to  pass  one  another.  The 
canal  is  lighted  with  electricity  for 
night-traffic;  but  the  visitor  travelling, 
say,  from  Hamburg  to  Kiel,  or  vice 
versa,  should  go  by  the  day  boats. 


as  the  trip  affords  lovely  views  of 
hill  and  dale,  lake  and  woodland. 
During  the  passage,  which  lasts 
about  13  hours,  the  traveller  should 
not  fail  to  observe  the  Kaiser  Wilhelm 
Monument,  at  the  entrance,  and  the 
magnificent  bridges  at  Griinthal, 
Rendsburg  and  Levensau,  which 
divide  the  canal  into  three  equal 
portions.  The  first  and  last  are 
remarkable  for  their  dimensions,  that 
at  Grunthal  having  a  height  of  157  feet, 
and  that  at  Levensau  a  span  of 
540  feet,  being  third  largest  on  the 
continent.  The  bridge  at  Rendsburg 
is  a  double  draw-bridge  for  railway- 
traffic. 

The  commercial  and  strategic  im- 
portance of  the  canal  to  Germany 
is  very  great.  By  using  it,  the 
notoriously  dangerous  Skagerrack, 
between  Denmark  and  Norway,  is 
avoided,  and  the  distance  between  the 
Thames  and  the  various  ports  of  the 
Baltic  IS  reduced  by  200—600  knots.

KIEL  is  a  former  Hanse  to

Nord-Ostsee  Canal  (Kaiser  Wilhe 
Canal)  has  been  growing  by  lei 
and  bounds,  its  population  hav: 
more  than  doubled  since  1890. 


r 


The  port  possesses  the  finest  harbour 
of  the  German  Baltic,  and  contains  the 
principal  Imperial  Dockyard,  with  two 
floating  docks.  The  private  docks, 
Howald's  (Ship-building  &  Machinery) 
and  Germania  Dock,  in  Gaarden,  are 
also  very  important.  Moreover,  the 
University,  the  Castle  (residence  of 
Prince  Henry),  the  Marine  Academy 
and  the  Thaulow  Museum,  with  its 
almost  unique  collection  of  Schleswig- 
Holstein  carvings  (15th — [gth  cent.), 
render  the  place  well  worthy  of  a  visit, 
especially  as  it  offers  opportunities 
for  charming  excursions  both  by  sea 
and  by  land. 

In  the  summer  months,  the  place 
is  now  very  busy,  as  the  Kaiser 
usually  starts  from  here^  in  Jjne

practically  the  same  as  that  of  Ham-

earlier  history  is  also  similar  *  but 
the  place  displayed  greater  pride  and 
bellicoseness ;  consequently,  its  fall 
was  more  campkte.  At  the  saiae 
time  it  has  also  retained  more  of  its 
mediaeval  character.  Of  its  quaint 
and  beautiful  buildings  the  most 
celebrat&d  are  the  following:— 

The  MarUnkircke,  built  at  the 
dose  of  the  13th  certtt  is  one  of 
the  best  specimens  of  early -Gothic 
in  Germany.  It  contains  a  pulpit  cf 
black  marble,  some  master- pieces 
of  German  sculpture,  a  remarkable 
clock  (150^^),  several  monuments

This  town,  which  is  bdooming  a  fa- 
vourite irateriiig-place,  has  two  snorxn- 
ons  moles  and  a  fine  light -house.  It 
serves  as  the  sea -port  for  the  large 
vessels  trading  with  Stettin;  and  its 
strand-promenade,  magnificent  Kurhaas, 
and  large  bathing-places  render  it  very 
attractive,  not  only  to  the  inhabitants 
of  the  Prassian  capital,  bat  also  to  many 
other  visitors.  There  is,  moreover,  an 
imposing  statne  of  Kaiser  William  I., 
and,  between  the  town  and  the  sea, 
a  sbady  wood  with  dense  undergrowth 
and  Cfdled  the  Plantsge.  Indeed,  the 
town  is  remarkable  tor  its  charming 
sylvan  iorroundings  and,  in  eonjonotion 
with  its  neighboor,

ERINGSDORF  is  considered  the 
't  elegant,  and  is  certainly  the 
'est  of  the  Baltic  seaside  resorts, 
ig  on  the  Isle  of  Usedom,  about 


4^9  mUes  N.  W.  of  Swinemiinde,  it  has 
been  well  -  named  the  Pearl  of  the 
German  Baltic.  The  town  stretches 
for  a  distance  of  some  three  miles 
along  the  shore  of  the  island,  and 
is  built  on  the  gentle  sloped  of  a 
double  range  of  downs  themselves 
surrounded  by  a  chain  of  high  hills 
densely  over  ■  grown  with  woods  of 
beech,  pine  and  oak.  Its  consequent 
sheltered  position  and  remarkable 
combination  of  sea,  wood  and  wold, 
impart  to  it  the  character  of  a 
climatic  health-resorts  so  that  its 
season  lasts  from  early  Spring  far 
into  the  Fall. 

The  resort  possesses  a  landing-  pier, 
about  1,400  feet  in  length,  and  called 
the  Kaiser  Wilhelm-Brucke. 

Heringsdorf  has  now  a  race-course 
opened  in  1907. 

To  the  north  -  west  lies  the  small 
but  rapidly  developing  resort  of 
Bansiu;  while  in  the  opposite  direc- 
tion is  the  favourite  watering-place 
called  Ahlbeck  (Hoi.  Seeblick,  first- 
class),  forming  the  junction  between 
Heringsdorf  and  Swinemiinde  and 
possessing  similar  characteristics. 

Besides  the  numerous  excursions 
through  the  woods  (Knln,  Langreu  Bergr^ 
Wolgastsee  at  Ablbeek  Ac.)  there  is  a 
little  island  named  Greifswalder  Ole 
that  has  a  light -house  and  harbour, 
and  reminds  one  of  Heligoland.

MISDROY,  on  the  north  coast 
of  the  Isle  of  Wollin,  may  he 
reached  from  Berlin  by  express  train 
in  5  hours. 

The  great  peculiarity  of  the  famous 
situation  of  Misdroy  lies  in  its  falling 
on  three  sides  to  the  broad  open 
strand  that  separates  it  from  the  sea; 


while  at  the  north  end  of  the  place 
and  rising  steeply  from  the  water's 
edge  is  a  chain  of  hills,  covered  for 
several  miles  with  beautiful  woods 
and  forming  a  protecting  wall  against 
the  north,  the  east  and  the  south- 
east winds.  This  position,  supple- 
mented by  art,  renders  it  possible 
to  take  complete  advantage  of  the 
beneficial  climatic .  conditions  offered 
throughout  the  year. 

It  is  to  this  exceptional  situation 
that  Misdroy  owes  its  development 
into  a  watering-place  of  the  first  order. 
It  is  now  the  leading  winter  resort  on 
the  Baltic,  the  number  of  its  visitors 
in  1901  having  exceeded  13,000.

taining double  naves.  The  beautifully 
painted  ceilings  also  date  from  the

and  repays  a  visit.  On  the  market-place 
stands  one  of  the  numerous  statues  of

This  once  mighty  Hanse  town  is 
picturesquely  situated  on  the  left  arm 
of  the  Vistula.  The  depth  of  the  river, 
combined  with  an  extensive  network  of 
canals,  enables  the  largest  vessels  to 
proceed  into  the  heart  of  the  town ; 
and,  though  the  trade  of  the  place  is 
gradually  sinking,  vast  quantities  of 
Polish  wheat  and  otlier  commoaities 
are  still  exported. 

Dantsic  contains  many  quaint  and 
beautiful  buildings.  Its  gabled  houses 
date,  for  the  most  part,  from  the  I6tli 
and  ntt  centuries,  the  best  specimens 
being  found  in  the  Langemarkt  and

of  the  Kings  of  Poland  down  to  1296. 
It  was  also  a  member  of  the  Hanseatic 
League  in  the  Middle  Ages.  The  Prus- 
sians, who  took  possession  of  it  in 
1815,  built  the  new  part  of  the  town, 
and  rescued  it  from  the  low  estate 
into  which  it  had  fallen  during  the 
wars.  In  front  of  the  Stadt-Theater,

BRESLAU,  with  a  population  of 
about  470,000,  is  the  third  city  in 
Germany:  it  stands  on  the  banks  of 
the  Oder  in  a  fertile  plain.  Dating 
from  the  time  of  the  Romans,  and 
containing  seveial  ancient  and  inter- 
esting buildings,  it  is  a  commercial 
place  of  great  importance  both  on 
account  of  its  extensive  manufactures 
and  of  its  wool  and  grain  maricets. 

The  city  was  once  surrounded  by 
fortifications,  and  the  old   moat  still 
encircles  the  inner  part  of  the  city. 
Adjoining  it  are  the  Promenades  upon 
which  stand  a  number  of  important 
edifices.   Beginning  at  the  N.E.  corner, 
close  to  the  Lessing  Bridge,  we  have 
the  New  Government  Buildings  and 
the  ZiegelbasHoH  with  excellent  view 
of  the  busy  Oder.    To  the  W.  of  the 
latter  is  the  School  of  Arts  and  the 
Monument  erected  to  those  who  fell 
in  1870—71*     At  the  S.E.  corner  of 
the  Promenades  is  the  Liehichshohe, 
a  watch-tower    erected    on    the    old 
Faschenhastion   and   surmounted   by 
RaucJts  statue  of  Victory,     Beneath 
it  is  a  monument  to  Schleiermacher. 
Passing  the  Z winger  we  come  to  the 
comer  of  Schweidnitzer  St.    Turning 
into  it,  we  find  St.  Dorothea  Church 
(14th  cent.)  to  the  left;  the  street  leads 
straight  through  the  middle  of  the  town, 
past  the  Ring,  to  the  Matthiaskirche 
and  the  Oder.    If,  however,  we  con- 
tinue our  walk  along  the  Promenades, 
we  pass  the  Stadt  Theater  and   the 
Headquarters  of  the  Military,  and 
come   to    the  Royal  Palace,  leaving 
which  on  the  right,  we  proceed  to  the 
Imperial  Bank  and  the  Stdndehaus 
at  the  corner  of  Graupen  St.   Opposite 
**■"  latter  is  the  new  Bourse,  a  line 
hie  building  of  modern  date.  Close 
in  Wall  St.,  are  the  old  Synagogue 
the    Elisabeth    Cloisters.     This 
et  leads  on  to  Konigs  PI.,  where 
can  return,  on  the  other  side  of 
Stadtgraben  (moat),  to  the  barracks 
I  Law  Courts.    Behind  the  last  is 
prison,   and,   behind    this    again, 
Museum.     The  latter  of  these  is 


a  brick  building  containing,  on  the 
ground-floor,  a  collection  of  Silesian 
antiquities;  while,  on  the  first  floor, 
are  casts,  an  industrial  collection,  the 
library,  and  some  30,000  engravings. 
On  the  second  floor  is  a  collection 
of  pictures,  mostly  modern. 

Crossing  Eichhaumgarten ,  we 
reach  the  handsome  new  Synago- 
gue, standing  near  the  end  of 
Schweidnitzer  St  A  car  brings  us 
to  the  Ring,  a  former  market-place, 
the  middle  of  which  is  occupied  by 
the  Stadthaus  and  the  Raihaus, 
the  latter  being  a  14  th  century 
edifice  which  was  well  restored 
in  1888.  The  FUrstensaal  is  the 
handsomest  apartment. 

Close  by  are  the  Pillory  (1492), 
a  bronze  statue  of  Frederick  the  Great, 
and  one  of  Frederick  William  III. 
On  the  western  side,  the  Palace  of 
the  old  Bohemian  kings.  Parsing  out 
of  the  Ring  at  the  N.W.  corner,  we 
find  St.  Elisabeth's  Church,  a  very 
old  building  but  twice >  restored: 
the  interior  is  interesting  for  its 
wood -carving,  and  windows  and 
portraits  of  Luther  and  Melanchlhon 
by  Kranach. 

Not  far  from  the  Ring,  on  the 
eastern  side,  is  the  Church  of  Mary 
Magdalene. 

On  the  Promenades  along  the  Oder 
are  the  Ma/thias  Kirche,  University, 
Ursulin  Cloister  and  Law  Courts, 
the  last  standing  close  to  the  Sand 
Brucke,  which  leads  across  the  Oder 
to  Sandkirche  (14th  cent.).  Close 
by  the  Church  is  the  Dombriiche, 
by  crossing  which,  one  reaches  the 
Kreuzkirche,  a  fine  old  building 
containing  the  tomb  of  Henry  IV. 
of  Silesia, 

A  few  paces  further  stands  the 
Cathedral,  parts  of  which  are  as 
old  as  the  12th  century;  while  the 
interior  contains  many  interesting 
chapels,  paintings  and  statues.  Not 
far  from  this  building  is  the  Bo- 
tanical Garden  with  an  excellent 
Museum,

BERLIN. 

POPULATION:  2,035,000. 

BERLIN,  whose  independence  was 
crushed  in  1442  by  Frederick  II.  of 
the  Hohenstaufen  dynasty,  became, 
in  1848,  the  residence  of  the  Hohen- 
zoUerns.  At  the  close  ot  the  1 6th 
cent.,  its  population  was  only  about 
12,000;  while,  during  the  terrible 
times  of  the  Thirty  Years'  War,  it 
suffered  so  severely  that  the  number 
of  its  inhabitants  fell  to  6,000.  But, 
with  the  accession  of  FrederickWilliam, 
surnamed  the  Great  Elector,  the  town 
entered  upon  an  era  of  prosperity: 
its  streets,  buildings  and  parks  were 
vastly  improved;  and,  at  the  death 
of  the  Elector  in  1688,  its  population 
had  risen  to  20,000.  The  following 
monarch,  who  became  King  of  Prussia 
as  Frederick  I.  in  1701,  continued  the 
work  begun  by  his  predecessor  and 
erected  the  so-called  Friedrichstadt 
consisting  of  300  buildings. 

In  his  days,   too,   were  added  the 


Kurfiirsten  Bridge,  with  its  cele- 
brated statue,  the  Observatory,  the 
two  Churches,  on  Gendarmenniarkt, 
the  Armory,  the  Academy  of  Art  &c. 
It  was  the  influence  of  his  gay  couit 
which  led  to  the  introduction  of  Cajis 
and  such  like.  Furthermore,  under  \h\^ 
king,  the  various  townships  of  Berlin, 
Colin,  Friedrichswerder,  Friedrichstadt 
and  Dorotheenstadt  were  united  under 
one  administration,  and  took  the 
common  name  of  Berlin. 

Frederick  the  Great  did  much  to 
beautify  the  capital  by  adding  a 
number  of  edifices,  mostly  designed 
by  Knobelsdorff,  to  whom  the  capital 
owes  its  famous  though  unsightly 
Opera  House.  Another  architect  of 
the  same  century  (Gontard)  added  the 
Domes  on  Gendarmenmarkt.  It  was 
Frederick,  too,  who  converted  the 
Tiergarten,  which. till  then  had  been 
a  game  preserve,  into  a  park,  and 
presented  it  to  the  city.

and  the  consequent  sense  of  security 
led  to  the  rapid  development  of 
manufacture  and  industry,  so  that 
towards  the  end  of  the  18^  cent., 
Berlin  was  the  chief  centre  of  the 
silk  trade  in  northern  Europe,  and 
gave  work  to  some  2,000  looms. 
Moreover,  the  love  of  music  dis- 
played by  Frederick  the  Great  and 
the ,  patronage  which  he  extended  to 
musicians,  men  of  letters,  and«artists 
drew  to  the  place  a  large  number 
of  giant  intellects:  Voltaire  resided 
almost  permanently  in  the  neighbour- 
ing town  of  Potsdam;    Leasing    and 


the,  great  philosopher  Mendelssohn 
lived  for  a  large  part  of  their  lives 
in  Berlin;  while  Bach,  Goethe  and 
Schiller  paid  frequent  visits  to  the 
city.  The  French  Church  (1701) 
on  Gendarmenmaikt,  as  well  as  the 
French  Lyceum,  in  both  of  which  the 
chief  linguistic  medium  is  still  French, 
witnesses  to  the  freedom  and  the 
welcome  accorded  to  foreigners;  and, 
as  may  be  seen  in  the  names  of  many 
still-existing  firms,  it  was  the  French 
exiles  who  introduced  the  various 
artistic  manufactures- referred-to  above. 
Thus,  it  is  perhaps  chiefly  to  Frederick

the  Great  that  Berlin  owes  its  rapid 
growth  and  subsequent  importance. 

When  his  successor,  Frederick 
William  II.,  ascended  the  throne,  the 
population  had  risen  to  nearly  150,000. 
This  increase  necessitated  a  further 
extension  of  the  city;  and  the  Rosen- 
thaler  &  Stralauer  districts  were  added. 
From  year  to  year,  the  place  grew 
in  importance  as  a  commercial,  artistic 
and  literary  centre ;  and  even  the  inter- 
ruption caused  in  its  development  by 
the  Napoleonic  wars  produced  but  a 
temporary  check  in  its  growth.  The 
FriedrichWilhelm  Academy  of  Medicine, 
the  School  for  Veterinary  Surgeons  and 


the  Artillery  Academy  took  a  leading 
place  among  the  scientific  institutes 
of  the  country;  while  in  1810,  the  Uni- 
versity at  Frankfort  o/O.  was  transferred 
hither.  From  the  fall  of  Napoleon,  in 
1815,  onwards,  the  rise  in  the  impor- 
tance of  Berlin  has  been  very  marked, 
the  development,  since  it  became,  in 
1871,  the  metropolis  of  the  German 
Empire,  being,  in  the  old  world,  un- 
paralleled and  the  present  population 
of  Greater  Berlin  now  numbering  more 
than  2Vi  millions.

EDUCATIONAL  INSTITUTBSi  Berlin 
is  now  one  of  the  leading  centres  of 
education  in  Europe.  Its  university  en- 
joys a  world-wide  repute  and  numbers 
many  Amerieans  among  its  thousands 
of  students.  Oriental  languages  are 
taught  in  a  special  Oriental  Seminary; 
while  in  Charlottenburg  there  are  the 
fine  Technische  Hochschule  &  the  Hoch- 
schnle  fiir  Husik.  On  the  27th  Oct.  1906 


another  "Hoohsohnle**  was  added  to  these. 
On  that  day  was  inaugurated  the  already 
famous  "Ilandelshoohschule"  on  the  pre- 
mises adjoining  the  exchange.  It  is 
probably  destined  to  draw  large  numbers 
of  students  from  abroad  seeking  a  com- 
mercial training  of  aUniversity  character. 

Besides  these,  there  are  also  a  vast 
number  of  institutes  of  a  more  or  less 
private  character  and  of  every  variety. 

Fran  Klara  Hessllag's  High  School  for

A  Walk  through  the  City. 

Unter  den  Linden,  with  its  two 
double  rows  of  lime-trees  forming  a 
fine  Avenue  from  Brandenhurger 
Thor  on  the  W.  to  Schloss  Brucke 
on  the  E.,  is  the  finest  thoroughfare  in 
Berlin;  round  it  stand  a  great  number 
of  celebrated  buildings.  Walking  east- 
wards from  Friedrich  St.,  we  come 
first  to  the  Academy  Building  on  the 
N.  side,  an  edifice  erected  at  the  close 
of  the  17th  cent.,   and  shortly  to  be 


demolished,  (cf.  pages  81  and  \Vi), 
Behind  it  are  the  old  Royal  Stables 
which  face  to  Dorotheen  St.,  and  oppo- 
site which  is  the  University  Library, 
At  the  end  of  the  a  venue  of  limes  rises 
a  fine  equestrian  statue  of  Frederick 
ike  Great,  designed  by  Rauch:  *the 
monument  is  over  40  feet  in  height, 
and  the  pedestal  contains  figures 
depicting  scenes  from  the  great  king's 
life,  togetl  er  with  symbolic  figures 
of    Stoength,    Wisdom,    Justice    and 


86 


MiTderalion.  The  other  figures  re- 
rre!5ent  contempoiary  princes  and 
generals,  poets  and  philosophers. 

The  building  to  the  N.  of  the 
statue  is  the  University,  once  the 
palace  of  Frederick  II*s  brother.  In 
foht  of  It  are  statues  of  Alexander 
von  Huntholdt  (Begas)  and  his 
brother   William  (Otto). 

Behind  the  University  is  a  horse- 
chestnut  grove,  with  a  bronze  statue 
of  Harzer  the  chemist;  while,  to  the 
N.,  across  Dorotheen  St.,  is  a  bust 
(^f  Hegel.  On  the  eastern  side  of 
the  grove  are  the  'Sing-Academie' 
and,  close  by,  the  Treasury,  Be- 
tween the  latter  and  the  ^'Linden"  is 
the  Royal  Watch  House,  where  the 


guards  are  stationed.  It  is  a  build- 
ing by  Schinkel  in  Doric  style.  Next 
to  it  is  the  Armory,  a  handsome 
building,  begun  by  Nering  in  1695 
and  completed  by  Schliiter  and  others. 
The  second  of  these  architects  added 
the  fine  series  of  sculptures  which 
embellish  the  exterior.  The  ground 
floor  contains  a  museum  illustrative 
of  engineering  and  artillery. 

Opposite  the  southern  side  of  the 
statue  of  Frederick  the  Great  is  the 
Palace  of  Kaiser  Wilhelm  /.,  now 
styled,  by  imperial  edict,  the  Great: 
the  building  is  open  to  the  public, 
and  contains  the  Emperor's  study, 
some  sculptures  by  Rauch,  and  the 
apartment    of   the   Empress  Augusta

Gutenberg's  bible  on  parchment  (the 

first  book  printed  with  movable  types); 

Melanchthon's  report  on   the  Diet  of 

Worms,  the  Codex  Wittekindi,  an  Sth 

century  copy  of  the  Gospels  supposed 

to  have  been  given  to  Duke  Wiltekind 

'  '"axony  by  Charlemagne  &c.  On  the 

ire  in  front  of   the  building  is  a 

ue  of  the  Empress  Augusta  sealed 

i  chair,  and  a  vase,  called  the  Kaiser 

e,  which  the  Empress   presented 

ler  consort  on  his  90th  birth-day. 

ond  it  is  the  Royal  Opera  House, 

t    by  Knobelsdorff  in    1742.      It 

''^ains  a  fine  group   by  Rietschel: 


the  interior,  which  was  thoroughly 
remodelled  in  1895,  is  capable  of 
seating  2,000  persons.  In  the  large 
concert-room,  symphony  concerts  take 
place  throughout  the  winter.  Behind 
the  Opera  House  is  the  large  catholic 
church  of  St.  Hedwig,  which  contains 
some  beautiful  stained-glass  and  other 
tasteful  decorations.  It  was  built  in 
1743—1747  in  imitation  of  the  Maria 
Rotunda  at  Rome.  The  square  in  front 
of  the  Opera  House  is  adorned  with 
statues  of  five  Generals  by  Rauch 
namely,  that  of  Schamhorst,  erected 
1822;  of  Bulow  in  the  same  year; 
of  Bliicher  in  1826  and  of  Gneisenau  & 
York  in  1855.  Opposite  the  armory 
is  the  Empress  FriedricWs  Palace 
joined  by  an  arch  to  the  Palace  of 
the  Princesses,  on  the  other  side  of

Oberwall  St  Crossing  the  Sehloss- 
hrucke  (designed  by  Schinkel  in  1822, 
and  embellished  with  8  marble  groups 
typifying  the  life  of  a  warrior)  we 
enter  an  island  formed  by  two  arms 
of  the  Spree.  Only  the  southern  end  of 
it  is  occupied  by  private  buildings, 
the  remainder  being  devoted  to  royal 
aed  public  edifices.  On  our  left  lies 
the  Lustgarten,  with  a  monument  to 
Frederick  William  III.  in  its  centre. 
It  is  an  equestrian  statue  executed 
by  Wolff  and  placed  upon  an  enorm- 
ous granite  pedestal  adorned  with 
allegorical  figures.  Behind  it  is  a  gi- 
gantic j^raniie  basin  weighing  about 


75  tons.  It  stands  in  front  ol  the 
steps  leading  up  to  the 

Old  Museum,  a  fine  building  in 
Greek  style  and,  indeed,  one  of  the 
handsomest  in  Berlin.  It  was  designed 
by  Schinkel  (1824)  and  has,  in  the 
vestibule,  a  statue  of  the  architect 
and  several  other  celebrities.  Schinkel 
also  designed  the  frescoes  in  the 
upper  vestibule. 

The  museum  contains,  principally, 
collections  of  antiquities,  some  of  them 
being  of  great  value.  It  also  possesses 
a  picture  gallery,  which  has  grown  out 
of  the  collections  bought  from  Mr.  Solly 
in  1821  and  to  which  have  been  added

a  number  of  paintings  from  the  Royal 
Collections.  The  gallery  illustrates, 
very  fully,  the  early  Italian  school  and 
the  Dutch  and  Flemish  schools  of  the 
16th  and   17th  centuries. 

Behind  the  building  stands  the 

New  Museum  (Stttler  1843).  This 
is  a  Renaissance  structure  of  no  par- 
ticular beauty;  though  the  interior  is 
sumptuously  decorated. 

The  frescoes  are  by  von  Kanlbach. 
The  treasures  of  the  interior  consist 
of:—  (a)  Collection  of  Casts;  (P)  the 
Egyptian  Museum;  (f)  Asiatic  Anti- 
quities; (B)  Engravings  and  Manu- 
scripts; and  (y))the  Antiquarium,  with 
bronzesj  terra-cottas,  gems,  vases  &c. 

The  National  Gallery  adjo  ns  the 


former  building.  Among  its  numerous 
collections,  there  are  some  gems  of  art 
which,  unfortunately,  are  badly  hung. 
The  modern  German  school  —  compris- 
ing such  artists  as  Liebermann,  Bocklin, 
Lenbach,  Achenbach,  and  von  Menzel 
—  is  well  represented. 

Behind  the  National  Gallery  stands 
The  Pergamon  Museum,    opened 
on  the  17th  Dec.  1901.    It  is  an  inter 
esting  structure  in  the  purest  Gree 
style,  designed   by   Baurat  Professo 
Fritz  Wolff  and  specially  built  for  th( 
reception  of  the  art  treasures  excavate( 
at  the  sites  of  the  three  Hellenic  citie 
of  Asia  Mmor,  and  so  constructed  a 
to  permit  of  the  Great  Frieze  from  t 
altar  at  Pergamon  being  arranged

almost  exactly  its  original  order  and 
with  its  original  cast  of  light  and  shade. 
The  main  room,  whose  floor  is 
depressed  below  the  surrounding 
peristyle,  contains  the  jnost  im- 
portant architectural  discoveries  from 
Pergamon,  which  have  been  gradu- 
ally collected  since  —  in  the  year 
1873  —  the  attention  of  the  Prussian 
government  was  drawn  to  these 
wonderful  relics  by  Carl  Humann,  who, 
in  the  year  mentioned,  presented  Ber'in 


with  the  first  large  piece  of  alto-relievo 
from  the  acropolis  at  Pergamon. 

The  north-west  point  of  the  island, 
where  the  two  arms  of  the  Spree  meet, 
is  now  occupied  by  the 

Kaiser  Friedrich  Museum,  a  new 
triangular  building  with  statue  of 
Kaiser  Friedrich  III.  in  front  and  six 
courtyards  within  for  the  admission 
of  light.  The  design,  which  is  by 
Herr  Ihne,  must  be  characterised  as 
an  absolute  failure.     Exteriorly,  it  is

faithfully  pursued  the  original  idea. 
The  chief  collections  are  on  the

Between  the  Lustgarten  and  the 
Spree  stands  the  new 

Cathedral,  a  domed  building  of 
pleasing  effect,  though  somewhat 
lacking  in  breadth  of  design.  The 
entire  structure,  which  is  in  Italian 
Renaissance  style,  has  a  height  of 
300  feet,  the  dome  having  a  diameter 
ol  100  feet  The  interior  is  very 
beautiful,  and  contains  several  paint- 
ings and  other  works  of  art  by  the 
foremost  painters  and  'designers  of 
the  day. 

Close  by  is  Kaiser  Wilhelm  Brucke; 
while,   facing  the  Lustgarten,  stands 

The  Old  Palace  (Schloss)    a    rect- 


angular structure,  some  650  ft.  long^ 
and  enclosing  4  courts.  It  is  100  ft. 
high,  and  is  surmounted  by  a  dome 
rising  to  a  height  of  250  ft.  though 
the  form  of  the  building  detracts 
greatly  from  its  elevation.  It  was 
begun  in  1443,  was  extended  by 
Caspar  Theiss  in  1 538,  and  has  since 
received  additions  and  alterations 
at  various  periods.  Though  rather 
gloomy  in  appearance,  the  structure 
is  imposing,  and  includes  some  suites 
of  magnificent  apartments,  the  prin- 
cipal of  Which  are  the  White  Saloon 
and  the  Picture  Gallery,  the  latter 
containing  portraits  of  the  reigning 
house  from  a  very  early  period,  as 
well  as  one  of  van  Dyck*s  likenesses 
of  Charles  T.  of  England,    and    some

modern    paintings.     In    front   of  the 
porch  looking  towards  the  Lustgarten, 
there    are    two    fine    bronze   groups, 
called  the  Horse  Tamers;   they   are 
by  Baron  Cloudt   of   St.  Petersburg. 
In  front  of  the  building  stands  a  hand- 
some Monument  of  Kaiser  Wilhelm  1. 
This  magnificent  equestrian  statue  is 
by   Reinhokl  Begas    and    his   pupils: 
the    main    figure    is   supported  by  a 
Bstal  embellished  with  bas-reliefs; 
steed    is    being    led  by  a  female 
re    of    Peace :     other    recumbent 
res  rest  upon    the  steps  below ; 
le,    at    the     corners,     there     are 
e  unrivalled  lions.    The  whole  is 
.osed     by    a    colormade,    which, 
/ever  beautiful  in  itself,  decide  J  ly 
'^ts    from     the     effect    of    the 


monument,  and  is  only  serviceable 
as  hiding  the  ugly  ware -houses 
across  Ih*?  Spree. 

Our  representation  of  the  monument 
is  a  reduced  reproduction  of  a  photo- 
graph by  the  yjoWkno'wnPhotograpkic 
Society  of  Berlin,  1  Stechbahn. 

The  southern  side  of  the  Palace 
faces  Schloss  Platz,  embellished  with 
a  grotesque  fountain,  which  one  can 
scarcely  believe  is  by  the  same  artist 
as  the  monument  mentioned  above. 
Close  by  there  is  a  new  and  t>eau- 
tiful  building,  where  the  Royal  Stud 
is  now  housed :  the  fa9ade  is  adorned 
with  some  very  fine  sculpturing. 
Crossing  the  Lange  Brucke  we  note

It  is  of  a  most  spirited  design;  and 
the  figures  surrounding  the  pedestal 
are  exceedingly  beautiful.  Beyond 
the  bridge,  on  the  right-hand  side, 
rises  the 

Town  Hall,  an  imposing  structure, 
built  of  brick  and  tastefully  decorated 
with  terra -cotta  and  granite.  The 
interior  is  very  attractive,  and  con- 
tains some  admirable  works  of 
art,  the  most  celebrated  of  which 
is  Werner's  picture  of  ,the  Berlin 
Congress  of  1878.  Admission  to  the 
building  is  free.  Entrance  to  the 
tower  is  obtained  upon  payment  of 


a  small  fee ;  and  as  the  structure 
has  a  height  of  254  feet  and  occu- 
pies a  central  position,  it  commands 
an  interesting  view  of  the  city. 
Adjacent  are  the  Landgerickt,  the 
Amtsgericht  and  the  Klosterkirche, 
the  last  being  one  of  the  best  me- 
diaeval edifices  in  the  city.  At  the

that  plans  have  been  prepared  for 
the  removal  of  the  various  buildings 
adjoining  the  Gate,  so  as  to  open- 
out  the  perspective  from  Pariser

the  Great  and  bisected  by  the  fine 
Charlottenburger  Chaussee,  through 
which  electric  cars  run.  Turning, 
however,  to  the  right,  we  approach  the 


Reichstags  Gebdude  (House  of  the 
Imperial  Diet),  an  exceedingly  beau- 
tiful structure  in  Italian  Renaissance 
style,  the  elegance  of  whose  pro- 
portions unfortunately  loses  by  want 
of  height;  while  the  gilded  dome 
disturbs  the  general  chastity  of  the 
edifice.  Nevertheless,  the  building 
is  unquestionably  the  loveliest  in 
Berlin;  and  the  interior  is  finely 
decorated.

Council,  a  reading  -  room,  writing-,

In  front  of  the  Reichstags  Geb&ude 
stands  the  massive  .  statue  of  Bis- 
marck, designed  by  Begas  and,  with 
the  allegorical  figures  that  surround 
it,  forming  one  of  the  most  remark- 
able monuments  in  the  metropolis. 

The  character  of  the  design  is 
such  that  an  explanation  of  the 
sculptor's  purpose  may  not  be  out 
of  place.  Around  the  base  of  the 
structure  are  arranged  a  series  of 
basreliefs  in  the  characteristic  manner 
of  Bdgas,  that  is  they  are  so  model- 
led   as   to   almost    dppear  sketched. 


and  have  a  classic  outline  similar 
to  what  we  find  in  early  Greek  and 
Etruscan  art.  They  represent  the 
growth  of  Germany  embodied  in  the 
famous  'Deutsche  Michel*.  The  first 
shows  him  as  a  child  in  leading- 
strings,  tottering  from  a  goddess  to 
his  mother,  the  Earth.  In  the 
second,  he  is  lying  on  a  bearskin: 
at  a  short  distance  appear  Roman 
soldiers;  while,  bending  over  him 
is  a  beautiful  woman  endeavouring 
to  rouse  him  from  his  sluggish 
sleep.  In  the  next  relief,  we  see 
him,  a  sturdy  but  somewhat  rude 
figure,  grappling  with  a  number  of 
youths,    who   represent   the   various

states  into  which  Germany,  prior  to 
1871,  was  torn. 

Proceeding  to  the  back  of  the  base, 
we  observe  reliefs  representing,  re- 
spectively:—  Michel  running  before  a 
triumphal  chariot;  the  goddess  Bellona 
alighting  from  her  chariot  and  handing 
a  palm-branch  to  the  grateful  inhabi- 
tants; and,  between  these,  Germania 
enthroned. 

The  two  reliefs  on  the  pedestal 
represent,  —  the  one,  Bismarck  being 
crowned  with  a  laurel  wreath,  and 
the  other,  the  bird  of  knowledge 
surrounded  by  the  birds  of  prey. 

Behind  the  pedestal  is  a  massive 
figure  of  Michel,  moulding  the  German 


sword:  in  front  of  the  pedestal,  we  see 
him  bearing  the  earth  on  his  shoulders, 
in  typification  of  the  expansion  of  the 
German  possessions  in  Africa  and 
Oceanea.  On  one  side  of  the  pedestal 
is  Germania  with  her  foot  upon  the 
neck  of  a  tigress;  on  the  other  side 
is  Fate  reclining  upon  the  Sphinx  and 
with  her  book  open  before  her. 

Close  by  and  occupying  the  centi 
of  Konigs  Platz,  rises  the  Column  c 
Victory.  The  pedestal  is  omamentei 
with  basreliefs  illustrating  the  Franco 
Prussian  War.  Above  them  there  is  i 
colonnade  adorned  with  mosaics  exe 
cuted  by  Salviati  from  A.  vonWerner'i 
designs*    The   column   itself   is   sui 


103 


rounded  with  three  tiers  of  gilded 
cannon  taken  from  the  Danes,  Austrians 
and  French.  A  figure  of  Victory  sur- 
mounts the  whole;  and  from  the 
summit  a  fine  view  is  obtained. 

On  the  western  side  of  Konigs  Platz 
is  KrolVs  Theatre,  now  royal  property, 
and  prinoipally  devoted  to  opera :  con- 
certs are  also  given  in  the  illuminated 
grounds,  hi  front  of  the  building 
there  is  a  colossal  statue  of  Moltke. 
A  short  distance  to  the.N.,  rise  the 
premises  of  the  Generalstab,  a  fine 
red -brick  edifice,  to  which  a  special 
interest  attaches,  it  having  been  the 
residence  of  Moltke.  Close  by  stands 
a  clumsy  bronze  figure  of  General 
Roon,  War  Minister,  in    1870/71.     It 


is  superposed  on  an  equally  clumsy 
pedestal  of  granite.  In  the  neighbour- 
hood there  is  a  Marine  Panorama; 
while,  following  the  street  called 
In  den  Zelten,  we  pass  a  number  of 
favourite  restaurants  near  the  banks  of 
the  Spree,  and,  in  a  few  minutes  reach 
Schloss  Bellevue,  a  royal  chateau 
in  a  pretty  little  park,  to  the  south 
of  which  lies  the  Grosser  Stern, 
the  central  point  of  the  Tiergarten. 
The  Electric  Tramway  Co.  has  erected 
here  four  enormous  statues  typifying 
the  "Chase".  From  this  spot  we  take 
the  Gr.  Stern  Allee  almost  to  the  series 
of  ornamental  ponds  which  border 
the  south-western  edge  of  the  park, 
the  largest  being  the  Neuer  See,    A

we    follow    the    edge    of   Rousseau 

Pond   to   the    statues   of   Friedrich 

Wilhelm  III.  (Drake  1849)  and  Queen 

Louise  (Encke  1880):  the  latter,  though 

corresponding   in   general   design   to 

the    former,   witnesses   to   the   great 

progress  of  art  during  the  19^  cent.

design  is  characterised  by  great 

of  artistic  beauty. 

I  the  year  1904,    another    statue 

unveiled  here  by  the  Kaiser.   It  re- 


presents the  Emperor  William  I.  as  a 
youthful  officer,  the  figure  standing 
in  an  attitude  of  easy  attention  upon 
a  pedestal  of  grey  Italian  marble,  to 
which  steps  lead  up  as  in  the  case 
of  the  two  statues  just  mentfwned. 
The  monument  is  a  work  of  Pro- 
fessor Adolf  Briitt's. 

Close  by,  in  Tiergarten  St.,  is  an- 
other specimen  of  the  statuary  of  the 
present  century.  Here,  at  the  insti- 
gation of  Coramercienrat  Leichner,  a 
beautiful  monument  was  raised  in 
the  year  1903  to  Richard  Wagner, 
The  structure  consists  of  a  base,  sup- 
porting a  pedestal  decorated  with  Ro- 
manesque blind-arcades,  the  back  one 
rounded  to  suit  the  form  of  th^  chair 
in    which    the  main  figure  is  seated^ 


103 


Wagner's  face,  turned  rather  too 
high,  is  seeking  some  harmony; 
the  same  idea  is  also  expressed 
in  the  nervous  movement  of  the 
left  hand,  and  the  flrmly  closed 
right  fist.  Perhaps  more  beautiful 
than  the  central  figure  are  those 
grouped  around  the  pedestal.  In 
the  front  there  is  a  fine  represen- 
tation of  Wolfram  von  Bschenbach 
(said  to  have  been  designed  by  the 
present  Emperor):  at  the  back  is  the 
Rheintochter  and  Alberich  the  Dwarf; 
while,  on  one  side  is  Siegfried  lying 
dead  in  the  arms  of  Briinnhilde,  and 
on  the  other  the  recumbent  figure 
of  Tannhauser. 


deyond  these  statues  and  at  the 
junction  of  Tiergarten  St.  and  Bclle- 
vue  Allee  stands  the  new  Rolands^ 
hrunnen,  unveiled  by  the  Emperor 
on  25th  Aug.  1902.  In  a  direct  line 
northward  from  it  runs  the 

Sieges  Allee,  a  fine  broad  road 
recently  embellished  on  either  side 
by  statues  of  the  various  monarchs 
of  Brandenburg  from  the  earliest  date 
down  to  1888,  the  year  in  which 
the  Emp.  William  I.  died«^  These 
are  a  present  from  the  reigning 
Kaiser  and  testify  not  only  to  His 
Majesty's  munificence,  but  also  to 
his  sense  of  the  artistic.  The  series 
of    monuments    has    been    executed

by  leading  sculptors  of  the  day,  and 
forms  one  of  the  greatest  attractions 
in  the  city;  although  the  general 
effect  is  somewhat  monotonous. 

Each  of  the  statues  is  mounted 
on  a  marble  pedestal  approached  by 
a  few  steps  and  standing  upon  a 
mosaic  floor.  It  is  shut  •  in  from 
behind  by  a  marble  bench  having 
the  form  of  a  semicircle  and  bearing 
the  busts  of  two  of  the  most  famous 
contemporaries  of  the  sovereign. 

The  total  number  of  monarchs  is 
thirty -two;  a  full  list  of  them  is 
given  below,  beginning  at  the  Column 
of  Victory  with  Albert  the  Bear 
on  the  west  side  and  ending  with

Near  the  end  of  Tiergarten  St.

and  just  off  Koniggratzer  St ,  rises  the 
Statue  of  Goethe,  perhaps  the  best 
of  Schaper's  productions:  the  majesty 
of  the  pose  is  very  striking,  and  the 
symbolic  figures  surrounding  the 
pedestal,  most  admirable.  Tbe  Lowen-

within  a  few  steps  of  Brandenburger

and  consists  of  an  arcade  of  five 
arches  supported  on  large  square

the  relics  excavated  by  Schliemann 
on  the  site  of  Troy. 

In  the  court,  which  is  roofed

out  Hausvogtei  Platz,  the  centre 
of  the  cloak  and  allied  trades.  Its 
eastern  side  is  closed-in  by  the 
Imperial  Bank,  a  fine  Renaissance 
structure  designed  by  Hitzig  (1870); 
it  is  built  of  coloured  brick  and 
adorned  with  figures  of  Industry, 
Commerce  &c.  Walking  round  the 
back  into  Kur  St.  we  may  visit  the 
Royal  Mint,  whose  beautiful  frieze, 
executed  by  Schadow  from  designs 
by  Gilly,  is  a  representation  of  the 
different    methods    of    treating    ores 


loe 


and  metals.  In  the  neighbourhood 
is  the  General  Telegraph  Office, ' 
while  southwards  is  Spittelmarkt, 
one  of  the  busiest  spots  in  the 
city.  Here  is  the  E.  end  of  Leip- 
ziger  St.,  turning  into  which  we 
pass,  at  No.  75,  the  site  of  the 
old  Abgeordnetett'Haus  now  re- 
placed by  a  handsome  block  let 
out  as  offices  &c.  Opposite  lies 
Ddnhoff  Platz,  which,  some  few 
years    ago    an    open    market  -  place, 


is   now   one   of   the  most   beautiful

The  summit  is  surmounted  by  a

statues  by  Ranch,  Wichmann  and 
Dieck.  From  this  height  a  fine  and 
unbroken  view  is  obtained  across 
the  city.  In  the  grounds,  there  are 
marble  busts  of  the  following  German 
poets: —  Riickert,  Korner,  Arndt, 
H.  V.  Kleist  and  M.  Schenkendorf. 
At  the  foot  of  the  hill  lies  Tempel-

and  reviews  take  place.  In  the  same 
neighbourhood  is  Hasenheide,  con- 
taining the  rifie-butts. 

In  the  N.  of  Berlin,  in  Alt-Moabit, 
stands  the  exhibition  building  of  the 
Academy  of  Arts.  Beyond  it  rise 
the  handsome  Criminal  Courts,  with 
a  fine  brpnze  group  in  front. 

The  western  districts  of  the  city 
are  somewhat  extensive.  They  con-

be  seen  nowhere  else.  The  collection 
of  grallatores  is  very  .complete,  and 
includes  nearly  eveiy  existing  type 
of  cranes  and  storks.  The  aviary 
contains  some  hundreds  of  cages, 
with  l.SO  varieties  of  parrots,  and 
nearly  300  other  sorts  of  exotic  birds 
(among  them  birds  of  paradise):  the 
arrangement  is  of  a  most  systematic 
and  instructive  character,  such  as 
is  to  be  found  nowhere  else  in  the 
world. 

The  institute  is,  moreover,  rendered 
doubly  attractive  by  the  beauty  of 
the  buildings  and  the  grounds.  By 
the  employment  of  an  exotic  style, 
the  exotic  animals  have  been  brought 
into  harmony  with  their  surroundings; 
and  the  best  Berlin  architects  have 
thus  succeeded  in  making  the  place 
architecturally  interesting. 

The  Elephant  House  is  an  Indian 
pagoda;  the  Buffalo  House  is  Ameri- 
can Indian ;  the  Stork  House  a  Japanese 
Temple;  and  the  Ostrich  House  ancient 
Egyptian.  Finally,  the  Antelope  House, 
Monkey  House  and  Aviary,  are  oriental 
in  style;  while,  at  the  entrance  in 
Kurfiirstendamm,  there  rises  quite  a 
Japanese  quarter;  consisting  of  work- 
shops, offices,  and  the  highly  original 
Elephant  Gate. 

Last  but  not  least,  the  Zoo  is  the 
rendezvous  of  good  society;  the 
children  of  the  higher  classes,  who 
inhabit  the  West-End,  are  seen  playing 
here  every  day:  while  old  and  young 
find  recreation  and  amusement  on 
the  tennis-lawns  and  in  the  beautiful 
shady  park  which  has  been  recently 
embellished  with  a  Group  of  Centaurs 
by  Reinhold  Begas,  (in  front  of  the 
Antelope  House)  and  with  a  Group 
of  Nymphs  in  the  Water  Temple,  by 
K.  von  Ochtritz. 


On  fine  summer  evenings,  thousands 
of  visitors  stream  along  the  prome- 
nades near  the  band -stand  where 
some  10*000  seats  hkve  been  provided: 
the  military  concert  is  given  by  two 
bands  of  the  Guards,  playing  alter* 
nately,  and  forms  one  of  the  principal 
attractions  of  the  place. 

In  winter,  the  excellent  string  band 
attracts,  daily,  a  numerous  throng  in 
the  splendidly  fitted  auditorium. 

In  Kurfurstendamm  rises  the  Kaiser 
Wilhelm  Geddchtnis  Kirche  (Memorial 
Church).  It  is  a  handsome  Romane- 
sque structure  with  a  tower  370  ft. 
high,  and  possesses  a  most  magnifi- 
cent and,  indeed,  somewhat  florid 
interior,  whose  finest  ornament  is  the 
altar-piece.  The  organ  is  electric  and 
contains  80  stops  and  4,800  pipes.

Close  by  Bland  two  important 
buildings,  viz^,  the  Kunstschule  and 
the  HochsckuU  fiir  Musik.  The  in- 
struction 13  in  the  hands  of  some  of 
the  leading  professors  of  Germany; 
and  numerous  Annerican  and  English 
students  are  to  be  found  here. 

Some  distance  further  on  rises  the 
Royal  Palace,  a  large  pile  of  build- 
ings,  commenced  in  1695,  and  en-  i 
larged  by  Knobeisdorff  in  1741.  The 
building  is  interesting,  but  only  the 
suite  of  apartments  formerly  occu- 
pied by  King  Frederick  I.  is  open 
to  the  public.  To  the  right  of  the 
building  is  the  Orangery,  10  minutes 
beyond  which  stands 

The  Mausoleum,  for  which  tickets 
must    be    taken   at    the   palace.     It 


is  a  Doric  structure  designed  by 
Gentz.  In  the  vestibule,  there  is  a 
large  figure  of  the  Archangel  Gabriel, 
upon  which  a  curious  blue  light  is 
cast  by  the  stained-glass  windows. 
Within  the  mausoleum,  there  lie 
interred  the  remains  of  Frederick 
William  III.  and  of  his  consort 
Queen  Louise,  as  well  as  of  the 
Emperor  William  I.  and  the  Empress 
Augusta.  The  finest  sculptures  are, 
perhaps,  the  recumbent  figures  of 
the  first  two,  that  of  Queen  Louise 
being  remarkably  fine.  It  was  exe- 
cuted by  the  loving  hand  of  Rauch, 
who,  originally  a  gardener,  was 
taught  his  art  at  the  expense  of  the 
Queen.

chain  of  small  lakes  to  the  sontheast; 
though,  in  som6  pai^s,  it  etretohes 
beyond  these  last.  The  highest  point 
in  the  forest  is  the  Havelberg  (920  ft.), 
not  far  from  which  is  Saubaeht,  where, 
till  recently,  the  wild  boars  were  bred. 
The  other  favonrite  spots  are  St.  Habertas 
Bestanrant  and  lake,  Hnndekehle»  Paals- 
born,  Onkel  Tom's  Hfttte  and  Sehlaehtea- 
see. 


To  Tegel,  ButmelsbiiTg ,  Grfinaa 
(with  Begatta),  Filedrlehsbagen  with 
M&ggelsee  &c. 

But,  perhaps,  the  loveliest  spot  in  the 
nearer  vicinity  of  Berlin  is  Erkner,  with 
the  adjacent  Bftdersdorfer  Kalkberge. 
Bail  from  Friedrioh  St.  to  Erkner; 
ferry  to  WoHeTsdorfer  Sehlevse;  and 
through  the  woods  to  Blidersdorf,  where 
the  finest  country  is  to  be  found. 

Finally,  there  is  the  celebrated  esE- 
cursion  to  Potsdaa  (see  route  18).

DRESDEN,  well-called  the  Floi 

of  the  North,  is  picturesquely  situi  r 

on  the  banks  of  the  Elbe:    it  is  i 

capital   of  the  kingdom  of   Sax  r, 


116 


and  has  been  the  residence  of  the 
sovereigns  from  1485.  The  city  is 
divided  into  the  Neustadt  on  the  N. 
side  of  the  river  and  the  Allstadt  on 
the  S.  side.  In  the  former  is  situated 
the  railway  station  connected  with 
the  new  town  by  the  Eisenbahtt' 
brucke,  a  bridge  which  has  also  a 
footway.  There  are  also  lour  foot 
and  vehicular  bridges  connecting  the 
old  and  new  towns,  namely:—  the 
Augustusbriicke,  the  Queen  Carola' 
briicke  (a  line  structure  affording  a 
pleasant  view),  the  Alberibrucke  and 
the  Marienbriicke,  Commencing  a 
walk  through  the  town  from  the  Railway 
Station,  we  pass  through  Kaiser  Street 


to  Kaiser  Wilhelm  Platz,  where 
the  Japanese  Palace  and  Garden 
are  situated.  The  edifice  contains 
the  Royal  Library,  which  consists 
of  nearly  400,000  vols,  and  about 
3,000  manuscripts ,  including  the 
oldest  Bohemian  Bible  and  many 
other  fine  productions;  moreover^  the 
collection  of  maps,  incunabula  &c., 
is  very  extensive.  Close  by  are 
Korner^s  House,  the  Kdrner  Museum, 
the  Ministry  of  Justice  and  the 
War  Office,  This  last  stands  at 
the  corner  of  Neustadter  Markt,  on 
which  is  erected  (1736)  the  enormous 
equestrian  statue  of  Augustus  II. 
Under    this    ruler,    Dresden    became 


the  most  important  centre   of  art  in 

Northern  Germany.  Furthermore,  in  his 

reign  the  Z winger  was  founded,  and 

porcelain    invented     (Bottger    1709). 

Crossing  Augustus  Bridge  —   built 

in  the   13  th  and  14  th  centuries  and 

completed,  as  it  now  stands,  in  1727 

—  we  arrive   at   Schloss  Platz    and 

the  Royal  Palace,     (This  bridge    is 

rtly  to  be  demolished.)     In  front 

he  Landtagsgeb&ude  there  stands 

onument,  by  Baumbach,  to  King 

!rt,    the    famous     royal     general 

whom    Moltke    said    "He    never 

idered".     This  edifice  was  begun 

\ugustus    in    1534,   and,    having 

i  added-to  at  various  architectural 

^      )resents  a  somewhat  motley 


appearance.  The  back  of  the  E.  wing 
is  decorated  with  sgraffito  work  by 
Walther;  while  the  throne -room  is 
adorned  with  frescoes. 

On  the  ground -floor,  there  is  a 
valuable  collection  of  coins.  On  the 
same  floor  is  the  Grune  Gew51be 
(Green  Vault),  containing  a  splendid 
collection  of  curiosities,  carved  ivory 
and  hammered  work,  the  crown  jewels 
of  Saxony  &c. 

Connected  with  the  Schloss  by  cover- 
ed corridors  are  the  Roman  Catholic 
Court  Church  &  the  Ptinzen  Palais, 
The  former  is  Catholic,  the  reigning 
dynasty  professing  the  Roman  faith. 
The  Church  was  built  in  1 739  in  Barocco 
style  by  Gaetano  Chiaveri:  its  organ

(2,896  pipes),  {s  the  last  and  largest 
built  by  Silbermann.  In  the  middle  of 
Theater  Platz  stands  a  fine  equestrian 
statue  of  King  John,  by  Schilling, 
the  pedestal  of  which  is  adorned  with 
friezes.  On  the  other  side  of  the 
square  stands  the  Court  Theatre,  a 
handsome  Renaissance  structure,  de- 
signed by  the  elder  Semper  and 
carried  out  by  his  son. 

It  occupies  the  same  site  as  an 
earlier  theatre,  opposite  the  Roman 
Catholic  Church.  The  building  is  richly 
adorned  with  paintings  and  has  a 
bronze  quadriga  by  Schilling  above 
the  portico  of  the  main  entrance; 
while  at  the  entrance  are  statues  of 
Goethe   and   Schiller.     Beneath    the 


quadriga  there  is  a  recess  embellished 
with  frescoes  by  Kiessling.  The  re- 
maining side  of  the  square  is  occupied 
by  the  so-called 

Zwinger  {dungtoTi),  built  1711-22. 
It  was  intended,  by  Augustus  II.,  to 
form  the  court  of  a  castle  of  grand 
design,  which  want  of  funds  compelled 
him  to  abandon.  As  the  building 
stands,  it  presents  characteristics 
partly   Rococco    and   partly  Barocco. 

It  contains  two  museums,  with 
collections  of  zoological,  anthropolo- 
gical and  palseontological  objects. 

On  the  N.  side  of  the  Zwinger  rises 
the  magnificent  new  Museum  designed 
by  Semper,  The  porch  resembles  a 
Roman  arch:    above  it,   to   the  right

the  two  cherubs  below. 

It  also  contains  numerous  and  inter- 
esting works  by  Correggio,  Titian  &c., 
and  the  famous  Madonna  and  Child 
by  Murillo.  Pre-Raphaelite  masters 
are  somewhat  scantily  represented; 
but  the  Italian  schools  contemporary 
with  Raphael  form  a  very  large  pro- 
portion of  the  collection.  Specimens 
of  the  Milanese ,  Parmesan  and 
Venetian  schools  will  be  found  in 
great  number;  while  there  are  also  a 
few    excellent    works    by   Velasquez, 


Murillo,  Claude  Lorrain,  Watteau, 
Nicolas  Poussin  and  other  Spanish 
and  French  artists.  Of  the  Nether- 
lands school  examples  of  all  the  great 
masters  will  be  found  on  the  walls. 
Between  the  Museum  and  the  Theatre 
stands  a  bronze  statue  of  Weber. 
At  the  N.  corner  of  the  Zwinger  a 
flight  of  steps  leads  up  to  the  top 
of  the  wall,  whence  the  building 
may  be  well  surveyed.  To  the  S.  E. 
stands  the  Evangelical  Sophienkirche, 
(Protestant  Court  Church)  commenced 
in  the  13th  cent.,  and  tastefully 
restored  in  1864—75.  To  the  E.  of

front    of  it.     This    latter    is  a  sand- 
stone column  designed  by  Semper  in 
Gothic  style.     Behind  the  Post  Office 
stands     the     Markihalle.      A     few 
steps   further    is    the    Home  Office; 
passing    from    here  through   See  St., 
we  reach  the  "Old  Market'*,  in  the 
middle   of  which  is  erected  the  Mo- 
nument   to     the     fallen    soldiers     of 
1870—71.     At  the  S.E.  corner  stands 
the  Kreuzkirche,  a  modern  building 
jrected  after  the  fire  of  1897. 
The  N.W.  corner  of  the  Market  is 
jpied  by  iheRatkaus,  built  originally 
1741,   but    extensively  remodelled 
»863.    The  high  tower  contains  a 
iitiful  peal  of  bells,  and  commands 
ne    view    of  the  town.     A   new 
ling  has  been  erected  at  the  corner 
nedrichsring  and  Gewandhaus  St. 


From  the  N.E.  angle  of  the  Alt-Markt, 
we  follow  Galerie  St.  and  in  a  few 
minutes  are  at  the  "Judenhof'\  Here 
is  situated  the  Johanneum  Museum, 
a  building  commenced  in  1856,  but 
several  times  restored.  It  once  held 
the  Picture  Gallery,  but  is  now  the 
depository  of  extensive  collections 
of  various  kinds.  On  the  first  floor 
is  the  historical  museum,  containing 
old  weapons,  costumes  and  artistic 
objects,  and  said  to  be  the  most 
valuable  in  Germany.  Among  its 
treasures  may  be  mentioned  the 
swords  of  Luther,  Augustus  the  Strong 
and  the  Elector  Moritz ;  Tilly's  and 
Pappenheim*s  staves ;  the  banners  of 
Pappenheim's  cuirassiers ;  weapons

KXCCBSIOirS:  The  environs  of  Dresden 
ezoeedingly  beautiful.  At  a  distaice 
IVs  miles  lies  the  pretty  village  of 
kmitiy  with  a  monument  of  Morean, 
»  fall  at  this  sj>ot  in  1818.  Kear  it 
be  Bismarck  Sanley  a  square  tower 
manding  a  fine  view  of  Dresden, 
nita  and  a  great  part  of  Saxon 
izerland,  including  Lilienstein  and 
*^:8tflin. 

it,  perhaps,  the  mos^  popular  trips 
vlon^  the  right  bank  of  the  Elbe 


with  its  vine-decked  hills,  its  villas  and 
chateaus  of  which  the  finest  is  that  at 
Albreebtabnrg.  A  short  distance  beyond 
this  are  Villa  Stock  hausen  and  Villa 
Ec^berg;  while,  some  9  miles  further, 
is  Welsser  Hirseh,  (see  below).  Still 
further  lie  Losehwiti,  and  Blasewita 
and.  about  8  miles  from  Dresden 
Pillnitz  (at  an  elevation  of  870  leet). 
This  last  place  contains  a  royal  chateau 
whose  chapel  and  dining-room  are  em* 
bellished    with,    fine^  frescoes:    in    the 


127 


oeighboxirhood,  there  are  some  excellent 
points  of  yiew.  the  best  being  that  from 
Porsberg  0,186  feet),  abont  8Vi  miles 
firom  the  town. 

PillnltSy  as  well  as  the  other  stations 
on  the  Blbe>  snoh  as  Pima,  KSnigrsteiny 
Sohandsa  Ae.y  are  best  reached  by  the 
steamboats  of  the  Saehsiseta-BShmisehe 
Dampfsehiffahrts-Gesellsehsfty  in  con- 
nedtion  with  which  we  quote  the 
following: — 

'To  leave  Dresden  without  having 
taken  a  steamboat  trip  on  the  Elbe  is 
to  have  left  the  "Northern  Florence" 
with  but  a  very  imperfect  idea  of 
its  attractions.  It  is,  indeed,  diffi- 
cult to  find  another  town  with  such 
delightful  surroundings  as  Dresden, 
whose  Elbe  Valley,  both  upstream 
and  downstream,  is  filled  with  ex^ 
quisite  scenery. 

'Though  the  Elbe  does  not  possess 
that  imposing  grandeur  for  which 
the  Rhine  is  celebrated,  thts  want  is 
counterbalanced  by  the  soft  beauty  of 
its  hills.  From  the  deck  of  the  river- 
steamers,  the  charming  landscape  may 
be  enjoyed  to  the  full;  while  one  has 
also  the  comfort  and  ease  which  this 
means  of  travelling  alone  affords. 
Doubtless,  it  is  for  these  reasons  that 
most  of  the  visitors  to  Dresden  and 
Saxon-Switzerland  prefer  to  make  use 
of  the  steamers  of  the  Sdchsisch- 
Bohmische  Dampfschiffahrts-  Gesell- 
schaft,  rather  than  to  be  cooped  up 
in  the  stifling  compartments  of  a 
railway  carriage. 

'The  company  referred-to  has  a 
river-fleet  of  37  vessels,  several  of 
which  are  chartered  to  carry  1,200 
persons,  the  company  being  the  only 
one  on  the  upper  Elbe  which  does 
a  passenger  traffic. 

'The  boats  are  admirably  fitted 
and  their  restaurants  well-arranged: 
the  catering  is  excellent,  and  prices 
very  moderate. 

'The  favourite  boats  are  the  large 
Saloon  Steamers  with  Promenade 
Deck.  These  perform  the  express 
service  among  Dresden,  Pirna.SaxoK- 
Switzerland,  Schandau,  Tetschen  and 
Aussig:  they  each  carry  a  first-class 


restaurant  and  offer  passengers  the 
very  highest  comfort' 

Of  the  shorter  trips  from  Dresden 
the  best  are,  perhaps,  to  Pillnitz, 
Wehlen  and  Schandau,  or  to  Meissen, 
the  pearl  of  the  Elbe. 

Of    the    more    distant    trips,    the 
finest  are  to  the  so-called  Bohemian 
Switzerland  &  the  Bohemian  MiddU 
Mountains,    with     the    excursionist       \ 
centres,  Schandau,  Tetschen  (Boden-      ' 
bach)  and  Aussig,  \ 

Tne  last  has  railway  connection  with 
the  Bohemian  health-resorts,  such  as 
Teplitz,  Carlsbad  and  Marienbad, 
as  well  as  with  the  Prague-Vienna 
line  of  rail  (sep  routes  44,  45  &  46). 

The  customs  revision  takes  place  on 
board   of  the  steamers  at  Schandau, 

For  the  trips  to  Dresden,  Pima, 
Schandau,  Tetschen  and  Aussig, 
tourist  tickets  in  conjunction  with  the 
railway  are  to  be  had. 

In  the  neighbourhood  of  Dresden  is 


WEISSER  HIRSCH, 

a  health-resort  which  has  grown  up 
in  recent  years  round  a  village  of 
comparatively  modern  date. 

A  BBIYAL :  By  rail  to  Dresden-Nenstadt 
and  thence  cab  or,  if  previously  ordered, 
carriage  awaits. 

COMMUNICATION:  Blectric  railway

ALTFTUDB:  781  feet. 

STANDING  POPULATION:  1,600. 

TISITOBS:  Annual  number  of  patients 
is  6,0UC. 

SITUATION:  The  place  is  sheltered 
to  the  north  and  north-east  by  an 
extensive  stretch  of  woodland  country, 
and   its  situation  has  long   been  re- 
cognised as  exceptionally  healthy  and 
beautiful.     The   village  consequently 
obtained  renown  as  a  health  •res'^*-* 
and  some  years  ago  was  chosen 
the  late  Dr.  Lahmann  for  the  erect 
of  his  sanatorium,  to   which,  as 
system  of  treatment  became  fame 
some  12  villas  were  added. 

The  Sanatorium,  which  sta 
in  grounds  at  the  edge  of  the  wo( 
is  fitted  with  every  modern  appljo 


128 


and  joined  to  the  Bath-house  by  a 
closed  corridor.  Together  with  all  its 
annexes  it  is  heated  from  a  central 
station  and  thus  rendered  suitable 
for  winter  residence. 

Not  only  the  sanatorium  but  also 
most  of 

The  Villas  are  lighted  by  electricity 
and  every  other  convjcnience. 

The  Air-Huts  are  close  to  the 
woo^s.  As  usual  they  have  one 
side  completely  open,  with  only  a 
protective  curtain  of  linen. 

The  Treatment  is  on  the  weU- 
known  natural  lines.  Medicaments 
are  employed  only  in  very  rare 
cases «  the  physician  depending 
on   the    use  of  light,  air,   water  and 


diet.  And  results  show  how  effective 
this  method  is,  especially  in  the 
following 

Diseases:—  aniemia,  heart  troubles, 
pulmonary  complaints;  all  affections 
of  the  digestive  organs,  diabetes  and, 
generally,  diseases  of  the  kidneys,

of  all  kinds;  skin-diseases,  internal 
and  external  furuncle.

Annexed  It  a  large  now  Bath-

Very  beautiful  and  tranquil  spot 


mg  distriots,  snoh  as  the  nndalating 
parts  of  Brandenbnrg,  seems  somewhat 
oat  of  place.  The  monntainoas  district, 
however,  between  Dresden  und  Bautxen 
is  exceedingly  fine.  In  general,  it  may 
be  explored,  in  all  directions,  without 
the  aesistance  of  guides  Pedestrians, 
of  coursa  see  the  district  to  best  ad- 
vantage; bat  parts  of  the  country  may 
be  viewed  from  the  steamers. 

It  is  usual  to  start  the  tour  from 

Potzscha,  which  is  connected  by  rail 

•"ith    Dresden.     The  Blbe  is  crossed 

y  the  ferry  to  Wehlen,   whence  the 

'ihlossberg  is  ascended.  In  the  neigh- 

ifhood  is  the  celebrated 

3asiei  (1,030  ft.),  which  overlooks 

Elbe  from  a  height  of  645  ft.    It 

I  precipitous  clilT  terminating  in  a 

up  of  wild  rock-pinnacles.    These 

joined  to  one  another  by  a  hand- 


some bridge,  in  keeping  with  the 
bastion -like  character  of  the  rock. 
The  Bastei  is  unquestionably  the  finest 
point  in  the  whole  district,  and  affords 
an  extensive  and  glorious  view  of  the 
wooded  ravines  and  broken  peaks 
of  the  surrounding  country. 

Beyond  the  bridge,  the  path  emerg- 
ing from  the  wood,  branches  in  two 
directions:  one  way  leads  to  the  village 
of  Rathen,  with  its  castle  ruins,  —  the 
other  io  Amselgrund  ?in;^  Raihewalde, 
At  the  end  of  the  main  road  running 
throngh  this  last  village,  one  turns 
to  the  right  and,  in  about  Va  hour, 
reaches  Hockstein,  a  precipitous  rock 
towering  above  the  road  to  a 
height  of  380  ft.,  that  is  to  say  950  ft. 
above  sea-level.  From  Hockstein,  one 


129

passes  throfigh  Wolfs  Gorge,  down 
the  valley  of  the  Polenz.  The  principal 
point  of  view  on  this  route  is  Brand: 
here  is  a  little  inn,  which  is  worth 
stopping-at  for  the  sake  of  the  prospect 
•btained  of  the  Basiei,  Konigstein, 
LiJieustein,  Grosse  Winterberg  Sec, 
Below  Brand,  the  valley  meets  theTiefer 
Grund,  and,  about  2  miles  farther  on, 
at  Wendischfdhre,  the  stream  empties 
itself  into  the  Elbe.  Here,  there  is 
a  railway  bridge  with  a  footway, 
which  leads  across  to  the  Konigstein 
and  Bodenbach  Roads.  Wendischfahre 
is  almost  a  suburb  of  the  central 
town  of  Saxon -Switzerland,  namely, 

SCHANDAU.

LEIPSIC  is  the  third  town  in 
Germany;  it  is  the  largest  centre 
of  the  book-trade  in  the  world  and 
the  seat  of  the  supreme  law-courts 
of  the  German  empire;  while  its 
university  is  one  of  the  oldest  and 
most  celebrated  in  Europe.  The 
town  is  largely  industrial,  the  chief 
products  being  leather,  porcelain « 
wood -work  &c.  The  city  is  very 
old,  and  the  streets  crooked  and 
--•rrow;    but    its    buildings,    though 


mostly  of  quite  recent  date,  are  well 
worth  seeing. 

Two  of  the  railway  stations, 
namely,  the  Bairische  and  the  Eilen- 
burger  Bahnhof,  lie  to  the  S.  E. 
Three  others,  namely,  Thuringer^ 
Magdebur^er  and  Dresdner  are 
close  together  in  the  N.  E.  of  the 
town;  while  a  sixth,  the  Berliner 
Bahnhof,  is  right  outside  the  town 
in  the  same  direction.  On  the 
promenades  facing  the  Dresdner 
Station  is  an  Obelisk  commemorating 
the  building  of  the  railway;  to  the 
W.  stands  a  monument  to  the  Burgo- 
master Muller.  Hard  by  is  BlUcher  PL, 
where  the  handsome  new  Bourse 
is  situated.  Opposite  are  the  build- 
ings of  the  permanent  Industrial 
Exhibition,  xSiTid  a  little  further  on, 
the  Old  Theatre,  founded  in  1766 
and  re -built  in  1817.  Near  this  is 
the  monument  to  Hahnemann,  the 
lather  of  homoeopathy.  Here  is  the 
entrance  to  the  Rosenthal,  a  favourite 
spot  for  excursions:  in  it  are  a 
monument  to  the  composer  Zollner, 
and  a  marble  statue  of  Gellert,  the 
poet.  Here,  too,  are  situated  the 
Zoological  Gardens, 

Close  to  Theater  PI.,  at  No.  3 
Briihl  St.,  Richard  Wagner  was  bom. 
From  the  corner  of  this  thoroughfare, 
Hain  Street  leads  direct  to  the  Market 
in  the  centre  of  the  city,  where  stands 
the  War  Memorial  of  1870  with 
the  Old  Rathatis  beyond.

This  ancient  Saxon  town,  once  the 
seat  of  the  Margraves  of  Meissen,  is, 
from  an  artistic  point  of  view,  very 
interesting,  and  contains  a  celebrated 
old  Cathedral,  13th_i5th  centuries. 
Its  spire,  at  the  S.E.  corner,  belongs 
to  the  15^  cent.,  and  is  a  fine  piece 
of  work.  The  interior  of  the  edifice 
is  embellished  with  beautiful  and  inter- 
esting sculptures  and  bronzes,  trie 
finest  of  which  is  that  of  Frederick 
the  Quarrelsome.  In  the  Georgen 
Kapelle  stands  the  tomb  of  George  the 
Bearded  and  Barbara  his  wife.  Near 
it  is  a  small  altar-piece  by  Kranach 
the  elder.  There  are  also  several  old 
paintings  and  brasses;  while  adjoining 
the  Cathedral  is  an  interesting  Cloister, 

Close  by  is  Albrechtsburg,  a  fine 
old  castle,  built  1471—1483  by  Arnold 
of  Westphalia  for  the  co -regents 
Ernest  and  Albert  (cf.  Altenburg). 
It  is  remarkable,  not  only  for  its 
great  size  and  imposing  character, 
but  also  for  its  elegant  vaulting,  its 
frescoes  and  the  charming  views  which 
it  affords.  In  the  Triebisch  Thai, 
at   the  other  end  of   the  town,  the 


visitor,  for  a  fee  of  2  Mks.,  is  shown

it  contains  several  admirable  pictures,  of 
whioh  the  fineot  is  one  supposed  to  have 
been  painted  for  Oardinal  Albreoht,  the 
founder  of  the  church.  The  S.  E.  ajigle

marked  on  the  western  side  by  the  moat 
(M&taleagraben)  and  on  the  other  sides  by 
promenades,  which  replace  the  ancient 
ramparts.  From  the  Batskeller,  a  tram-

prettily  situated  on  the  II m,  has  be- 
come classic  ground.  It  was  for 
upwards  of  50  years  the  Home  of 
Goethe;  and  Schiller  spent  the  last 
6  years  of  his  life  in  the  same  city 
Its   most   noteworthy  building  is  the 

Schloss,  restored  under  Goethe*s 
superintendence  and  standing  at  the 
head    of    Sternbriicke.      The    edifice 


contains  the  room  of  Duke  Bemhard 
and  the  so-called  four  Poets'  Rooms 
dedicated,  respectively,  'to  Goethe, 
Schiller,  Herder  and  Wieland. 

The  Herder  Room  is  at  once  re- 
cognisable by  the  poet's  motto  *Ucht, 
Liebe.  Leben"  on  the  ceiling.  Frescoes 
by  Jager  adorn  the  walls. 

In  the  Goethe  Room  the  frescoes, 
which  are  by  Jager  and  Neher,  illus- 
trate almost  the  whole  range  of  t  s 
great  German's  works,  both  in  poei  y 
and  prose 

The  frescoes  adorning  the  Schil  r 
Room  are  all  from  the  brush  of  Nel  \ 
and  are  likewise  numerous. 

On  the  walls  of  the 

Wieland  Room,  the  frescoes  are  ci 
distemper  and  are  by  Preller.  In  fr<  it 
of  the  Schloss,  and  on  both  sides  of     e

river,  lies  a  charming  park  with  many 
spots  hallowed  by  reminiscences  of 
Goethe:  in  it,  stand  a  pavihon,  called 
the  Tempelhcrrcnhaus,  the  Hume,  the 
Rdmtscius  Haus,  and  several  monu- 
ments (Prmce  Francis  of  Dessau.  Liszt, 
Shakespeare).  Here  may  still  he  seen, 
near  the  Park,  Goethe's  Gartenhaus, 
Not  far  from  the  Schloss,  at  Herder 
Ph,  rises  the  Stadtkirche  in  the  very 
centre  of  the  town.  Built  in  1400,  it 
contains  a  fine  picture  by  Kranach 
the  elder,  with  portraits  of  Lulher, 
Melanchthon  and  Bugenhagen,  The 
nave  is  the  restinis-place  of  Herder,  a 
bronze  statue  of  the  poet  having  been 
erected  m  front  of  the  church.  Behind 
the  buildmg  is  the  parsonage,  which 
was  Hercier*s  residence  till  his  death. 


Passmg  through  Ritter  Gasse,  we  reach 
the  Hof  Theater,  built  in  1907  by 
Heilmann  and  L'ttmann  of  Munich  on 
the  site  of  a  former  edifice  dating 
from  Goethe's  times.  It  is  remarkable 
for  its  noble  simph'city  of  style  and 
its  moJern  appliances,  its  orchestra  its 
arrangemeiil  of  stalls,  boxes.  &c.  Before 
the  theatre  stands  Rietschel^s  Monu- 
ment tn  Goethe  and  Schiller,  executed 
in  bronze  in  1857.  In  Wieland  St.,  to 
the  N..  IVieland's  House  is  situated. 
Ao.  12  Schiller  Si,  close  by.  is 
'Schiller's  House^  which,  was  the 
residence  of  the  poet  during  the  last 
three  years  of  his  life*  and  is  now 
the  property  of  the  town.  Its  most 
interesting  room  is  the  study,  which

and  GenelH  are  among  the  principal 
representatives.  In  the  Griine  Schloss 
is  the  Grand  Ducal  Library,  which, 
apart  from  its  280,000  vols.,  boasts 
a  large  number  of  interesting  busts 
and  a  valuable  collection  of  coins 
and  medals.  The  busts  include  three 
of  Goethe,  and  one  each  of  Schiller 
(by  Dannecker,  cf.  Stuttgart),  Herder, 
Gluck,  Tieck,  Lessing,  Wieland  and 
Winckelmann.  Of  special  interest,  too. 
is  the  museum's  geographical  collection 
comprising  800  maps,  of  which  the  most 
remarkable  are  two  of  America  drawn 
in  the  early  part  of  the  J 6^  century. 

The  tower  of  the  building  contains  a 
winding  oaken  staircase  said  to  have 
been  constructed  by  a  prisoner  in  167 1 . 

In  a  building  opposite  to  it  is  the 
Russian  Chapel,  and,  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  Ilm,  is  an  edifice  containing 
the  "Goethe  and  Schiller  Archives". 

The  Raihaus,  a  fine  Gothic  erection, 
stands  on  the  Market  Place.  It  con- 
tains Mardersteig's  painting  called 
'^Bemhard  entering  the  conquered  town 
of  Breisach";  a  purtrait  in  oils  of  the 
Emperor  William  the  First;  a  life-size 
"♦atue  of  Goethe;  busts'  of  the  four 
Weimar  Poets.  Opposite,  at  No.  II, 
the    house    which    was    once    the 

sidence  of  the  two  Kranachs. 

The  Cemetery  contains  the  FUrsten-

Fountain;  the  Belvedere;  and  the 
monuments  to  Wieland  &  Carl  August. 
The  statue  of  Shakespeare,  near  the 
Liszt  Museum,  represents  the  poet  in 
early  manhood:  he  holds  a  rose  in  his 
hand  and  appears  to  be  in  animated 
conversation. 

On  a  hill -slope  to  the  soutk  of 
the  town  stands  Silberblick,  a  villa 
containing  the  Nietzsche  Archives

Romanesque  style,  and  restored  in 
1887:  at  the  same  time,  by  means  of 
a  tasteful  addition,  it  was  connec'ed 
with  the  beautiful  Romanesque  Nicolai

the  arena  in  which,  according  to  tradi- 
tion, Walther  von  der  Vogelweide  (cf. 
Wiirzburg)  and  other  minstrel  poets 
strove  for  the  mastery. 

But  the  great  interest  attaching 
to  the  Wartburg  centres  in  its  con- 
nection with  Luther,  The  great  Re- 
former, after  bis  second  appearance 
before  the  Reichstag,  left  Worm*? 
on  26t>h  of  April  1521.  A  few  days 
later,  his?  little  cavalcade  was  sur- 
prised by  a  number  of  masked 
riders  acting  under  instructions  from 
the  Elector  Frederick  the  Wise  of 
Saxony.  This  prince,  being  a  friend 
of  Luther's,  had  him  placed  in  the 
Wartburg;  where  he  remained  hidden, 
under  the  name  of  "Junker  Georg*\ 
till  the  first  of  March  1522.  During 
this  period,  he  issued  from  his  hiding- 
place  many  a  telling  pamphlet,  and 
began,  in  December,  his  celebrated 
translation  of  the  Bible. 

The  Luther  Room  in  the  Wartburg 
is  situated    in    the   northern    part  of 
the  building  called  the  Vorburg,    It 
is  in  almost   the    same  condition  as 
when  Luther  left  it,  and  contains  the 
reformer's  table,  his  armour  as  *' Junker 
Georg",  some  of  his  letters,  his  book- 
case and  other  objects  intimately  con- 
nected with    the  great  translation  of 
the  Bible  arid  similar  literary  labours. 
One  day,  while  at  work,  he  is  said  to 
have  seen  the  devil  making  mouths 
«t  him,   and  flung  his  inkpot  at  the 
isitor's  head:  Satan  ducked,  and  the 
ik  spurted  all  over  the  wall.  The  origi 
al  stain  having  been  chipped  off  "by 
inglo-Saxon  tourists",  a  new  one  was 
lade  which  followed  a  like  fate. 

The  finest  part  of  the  Wartburg, 
rom  an  architectural  point  of  view,  is 
he  Hofburg^  in  which  the  Land- 
raves  of  Thuringia  formerly  lived.  It 


contains  the  Room  of  the  Landgraves, 
decorated  with  2  modern  frescoes  illu- 
strating historical  scenes;  the  Sdnger- 
saal  is  adorned  with  portraits  of  Liszt, 
Wagner,  Kaulbach  &c.,  introduced  into 
a  fresco  representing  the  tradition  re- 
ferred*K>  above.  The  Elisabeth  Gallery 
is  adorned  with  frescoes  illustrating  the 
life  of  St.  Elisabeth,  whom  **Tann- 
hauser"  lost  through  revealing,  in  his 
love-song  at  the  Minstrels' Contest,  that 
he  had  visited  the  .Mount  of  Venus. 
Beyond  it,  is  the  Chapel,  with  old 
stained  -  glass  and  wall-paintings. 

Other  interesting  rooms  are  the 
Armory  in  the  Dirnitz,  the  Stables, 
and  the  Tower,  From  the  Kanonen 
Battery,  to  the  left  of  the  entrance, 
a  good  view  of  the  whole  building 
is  obtained.  The  Kemenate  now 
shown  to  visitors,  is  furnished  for  the 
use  of  the  Grand  Ducal  family.  It 
contains  18  pictures  representing 
incidents  in  the  life  of  Luther. 

EISENACH  SPA  (See  also  historical 
introduction  above  &  notice  on  page  2). 
—  The  spa  which  adjoins  the  town 
on  the  south-eastern  side,  consists 
of  a  Pavilion,  Pump  Rooni  and  other 
buildings  situated  in  a  delightful  un- 
dulating park  some  thousands  of  acres 
in  extent  and  filled  with  grand,  spread- 
ing trees,  many  of  them  hoar  with 
age  and  storied  by  tradition. 

But  though  the  surroundings  art 
so  old,  the  spa  itself  is  quite  modern. 
Down  to  the  year  1906  Eisenach  de- 
pended solely  on  its  salubrious  climate 
as  a  health-resort.  In  that  year,  how- 
ever, the  spa  was  opened,  the  waters 
of  the  Grossherzogin  KarolinenquelU 
having  been  condulted  to  the  new 
Pump  Room  from  an  estate  called 
Wilhelmsgliicksbrunn  some  little  dis- 
tance from  the  town. 


151 


These  waters  were  in  repute  from 
the  14th  cent,  to  the  middle  of  the  IQth. 
During  the  18^^  cent,  over  a  million 
pounds  of  salt  were  annually  ohtum  d ; 
while  quantities  of  Glauber's  Salts 
were  yielded  by  the  maher-Iye. 
Later  on,  the  waters  were  turned  to 


medicinal  purposes  and  a  primitive 
bath-house  was  erected  at  Wilhelms- 
^lucksbrunn;  and  the  statistics  for 
the  years  1840—1843  show  a  re- 
markably high  proportion  of  cures. 
Mismanagement,  however,  led  to 
neglect  of  the  place;   and  the  watet^ 


were  even  forgotten,  until  the  recent 
efforts  of  the  Chief  Burgomaster 
Schmteder,  of  Herr  von  Dreyse.  the 
Commercial  Counsellor,  and  others 
fought  them  again  into  notice  and 
gave  them  the  rare  opportunity  t  ey 
iiow   have    of  re-obtaning  and   in- 


creasing   that    well -deserved    fame 
which  they  formerly  enjoyed* 

Their     efficaciousnesa     is     evident

This  favourable  composition  led 
Professor  Kionka  of  Jena  to  publish, 
in  the  Balneologische  Zeitung,  an  ap- 
preciation, in  which  he  states  that 
the  waters  will  be  found  efficacious 
as  baths  in  treating  scrofula,  rickets, 
glandular  swellings,  deposits  due  to 
inflammation,  chronic  suppuration, 
female  complaints  and,  especially, 
rheumatism.  Taken  as  a  medicine, 
their  wealth  of  sodium  chloride  renders 
them  very  useful  in  cases  of  acute 
and  chronic  catarrh  of  the  stomach 
and  intestines,  and  excess  of  blood 
in  the  abdommal  organs;  and  they 
may  be  drunk  for  bronchial  catarrh  &c. 
They  are  also  applicable  to  enlarge- 
ment of  the  liver  and  pancreas  as 
well  as  for  reducing  obesity.  More- 
over, they  will  unquestionably  be  of 
the  greatest  service  in  curing  gout ; 
for  this  disease  has  been  shown  by 
modern  research  to  result  from  the 
liver  quite  as  much  as  from  the  kid- 
neys, and  the  waters  of  the  Gross- 


ktrzogin  KaroUnenquclle  posseas  the 
admirable  quaiity  of  acting  favourably 
on  boih  these  organs. 

IE  is  clear  thai  Eisenach,  which  has 
hitherto  enjoyed  a  u  c  h  f a vou  r  as  a 
climHtic  health-resort,  will,  frs  a  spa, 
obtain  world  -  wide  repdte.  During 
tlie  fifteen  years  from  1889  to 
1905  the  annual  number  of  its  visi- 
tors, exclusive  of  tourists,  rose  from 
59,705  to  99,548,  —  high  figures 
indeed,  and  due  to  the  delightful 
climate  of  the  town,  to  its  interesting 
historical  associations  and  to  the 
charming  walks  in  the  immediate 
neighbourhood  as  well  as  in  the  sur- 
rounding Forest  of  Thuringia. 

Among  then^arer  trijM,  the  chief  are  :— 

An  interesting  excorsion  to  Annathal, 
40  minates  from  Frauenthor  tbioogh  the 
Marienthal,  which  may  be  done  at  the 
same  time  as  the  visit  to  the  Wartborg. 
At  the  entrance  to  the  Annathal,  a  pa^ 
winding  to  the  left  leads  to  the  pictaree- 
qae  LsadgrsfoBseblnekt  (gorge).  The 
narrowest  part  of  the  valley  Is  termed 
the  Draehensehlaclity  and  is  marked  with 
a  large  "A*'.  It  is  *^50  paces  in  length ;  and 
the  rooks  on  either  side  approacn  so  close 
to  one  another  as  to  make  it  impossible 
for  more  than  one  person  to  pass  at  a  time. 

On  the  Gdpelskuppe,  a  hiil  near 
Kis»>nRoh,  rises  the  Denkmalderdestsehea 
liursehensehsft  (Monument  to  the  Gher- 
niHn  Studentrv)  in  commemoration  of 
the  efforts  made  by  German  arndenttt  to- 
wards imperial  union.  It  is  a  striking 
structare  ornamented  with  nine  eagles 
and  bearing  representations  of  Hermaxm 
the  Deliverer,  Charles  the  Great,  Lather, 
DQrer,  iioethe  and  Beethoven. 

A  Bisnarek  Colawn  has  been  erected 
on  the  Watenherg.

The  Markt  PL  is  a  fine  square,  with 
a  statue  of  Prince  Albert  in  the  middle. 
At  the  S.E.  comer  is  the  quaint  old  Rai-

the  Government  Buildings,  and  a  little 
to  the  right  of  them  is  the  Armory 
containing  the  Ducal  Library  of 
60,0CX)  vols.  A  few  paces  to  the  E.

called  the  "Ehrenburg",  is  situated. 
It  contains  an  enormous  drawing- 
room  and  a  valuable  picture  gallery 
with  portraits  of  royal  personages. 
Close  by  are  the  Theatre,  the  kleines

was  attended  by  Goethe's  father,  when 
a  boy.  The  house  opposite  the  school 
was  once  the  residence  of  Jean  Paul 
Richter.  In  the  neighbouiing  Stein' 
gasse,  there  is  a  Museum  containing 
antediluvian  remains  discovered  in  the 
district.  Near  the  Palace  is  a  steep 
foot-path  by  which  one  climbs  to  the

This  ancient  town  is  rendered  inter- 
esting by  its  being  the  birthplace  of 
Luther*  The  house  in  which  he  was 
bom  is  No.  16  Luther  St.:  that  in  which 
he  died  stands  opposite  Audreaskirehe, 
and  contains  his  death -bed  and  other 
relics.  The  principal  tokens  of  the 
great  reformer,  however,  will  be  found 
in  the  house  of  his  nativity.  Here 
are  to  be  seen  indulgences,  paintings, 
translations  &c.,  which  recall  the  great 
conflict  with  Borne.  A  bronze  statue 
of  Luther,  erected  in  commemoration 
of  the  400  (It  anniversary  of  his  birth, 
represents  the  reformer  rending  the 
papal  bulls. 

The  church  of  Sts.  Peter  &  Paul  calls 

^^  many  reminiscences  of  Luther,  by  its 

tssession  of  the  font  in  which  he  was 

ristened,  his  leathern  cap,  a  remnant 

his  cloak  &c.

foot  of  which  it  stands.  Its  ancient 
importance  is  still  to  be  seen  in  the 
numerous  quaint,  old  houses,  the  many 
towers,  and  the  remnants  of  the  old 
ramparts.  In  approaching  the  place  from 
the  station,  we  pass  the  <^d  Paal's  Toirer 
and  the  hotel  which  used  to  bear  its  name, 
but  which  is  now  called  AehteraaBa. 
This  hotel,  to  which  a  new  wing  has 
been  added,  stands  in  the  loveliest 
quarter  of  the  town,  and  is  surrounded 
with  a  delightfal  and  shady  park,  three 
acres  in  extents  Adjacent  to  the  hotel 
is  the  *01d  German  Beer  House*,  built 
in  the  **Achtermann**.  This  renowned 
tower  of  the  ancient  fortifications  was 
built  in  1806;  among  its  cosy  rer^esses, 
the  'Bismarck- Ni'«chO*  is  very  celebrated; 
while,  on  the  first  floor,  there  is  an 
elegHut  dining-room  decorated  with 
noteworthy  frescoes. 

Opposite  the  tower  is  a  fine  Ohurch 
in  Bomanesque  style  connected  with  the 
monastery  ox  H eawerk  and  erected  in  the 
12t]»  century.  Bahahof  St.,  which  passes 
between  these  two  buildings,  leads  past 
Jaeobikireiie  to  the  Marlt  PI.  This 
souare  is  embellished  with  a  large  and

The  edifloe  datM  from  th«  opening  of  the 
ISA  cent.,  and  oontains  a  number  of  old 
freaooes  and  eome  good  wood  -  oarving. 
Close  by  is  Fraakemberger  Cloiiter.  About 
S  minnteg'  walk  to  the  S.K  is  Claattbor, 
and,  some  distance  farther,  the  Ksiser- 
haasy  the  oldest  secular  bailding  in 
Oermany.  The  original  strncture  was 
erected  in  1060  and  was  the  palace  of 
eleven  snecessive. emperors,  the  last  of 
whom  resided  here  till  1253.  The  edifice, 
which  was  severely  damaged  by  fire 
in  1280,  has  been  admirably  restored. 
The  place  may  be  viewed  from  U— 1, 
and  m>m  2  till  dask.  The  bailding  con- 
sists of  the  Saslbaa,  with  its  extension 
added  later,  the  private  chapel  of  St« 
Vlrleh  and  the  connecting  corridor.  The 
ajpper- floor  of  the  Saalbau  is  adorned 
with  frescoes:  in  the  interior  of  the 
chapel  is  the  toml>  of  flearj  III. 

Opposite  the  building  are  the  eques- 
trian statues  ot  Barbsrossa  and  Kaiser 
Wllhelm  [.  (Walter  Schott). 

Sastwards  of  the  Kaiserhaus  stands 
the  Domkapelle,  which  is  the  vestibule 
of  the  once  fionous  Cathedral  erected 
in  1050  by  Bmp.  Henry  111.  The  main 
building  was  sold  in  18&:0  for  1,100  dollars 
and  pufled  down.  The  'Kapelle*  has  been 
restored;  and  its  portal,  with  richly 
sculptured  capital,  witnesses  to  the  former 
grandeur  of  the  Duilding.  The  interior 
contains  a  number  of  interesting  relics 
of  the  Cathedral,  among  them,  the 
Krodo  Altar  of  gilded  bronze,  the  screen 
presented  to  fienr^  III.  by  Herzfeld 
Cloister,   and  a  stained-glass  window. 

In  the  S.E.  of  the  town,  some  10  mi- 
nutes* walk  from  the  Domkapelle,  are 
the  Kurpark  and  the  Zwiager:  this 
latter  is  a  broad  tower  in  the  old  town 
wall:  from  it  a  good  view  is  obtained. 
Passing  along  by  the  ramparts  we  come 
to  St.  AsBeahaaSy-a  home  for  women 
founded  in  1494.  It  possesses  a  chapel 
with  painted  timber  ceiling  &c.  Con- 
tinuing in  the  same  direction,  a  walk  of 
about  10  minutes  brings  us  to  the  old 
BTeitenthOT,  one  of  the  best-preserved 
gates  in  the  town.  Still  keeping  to  the 
promenades,  we  reach  Georgenbergy  in 
the  neighbourhood  of  the  station,  where 
the  rums  of  an  ancient  cloister  have 
been  unearthed:  the  outline  of  the 
church,  with  its  nave,  aisles  and  five 
towers,  is  to  be  clearly  seen.

This  mountain  village  is  a  favourits 
health-resort  and,  on  account  of  its  pure 
mountain  air  and  hydropathic  establish- 
ment, is  coming  more  and  more  into 
vogue.  The  number  of  visitors  now 
exceeds  4,000  annually  exclusive  of 
tourists.

HA&ZBUSG,  to  the  N.  of  the  Broekes, 
and  at  the  entrance  te  the  Bada«tkal» 
is  a  favourite  summer-resort.  It  enjoys 
a  fine  situation  and  possesses  a  Kvrhavs 
which  forms  the  gathering-point  of  the 
numerous  visitors.  The  bath,  Jallvskall, 
was  formed  in  1850.  Its  waters  contain 
chlorates  and  sulphates  of  .sodium,  po- 
tassium, magnesium  &o^  with  tnMtea  of 
iron.  The  principal  complaints  treated  are 
gout,  rheumatism,  scrofula,  and  catarrh 
of  the  bronchial  tubes,  stomach  &c. 

There  is  also  a  spring,  recentljjr  dis- 
covered, which  yields  hot  water  of  similar 
composition  to  the  above,  and  which  is 
used  as  a  medicine  for  catarrh,  piles, 
constipation,  gout,  obesity  &c. 

The  environs  of  Harzburg  are  very 
picturesque  and  interesting.  A  pleasant 
excursion  is  up  the  valley  of  the  Badau, 
whose  noisy  babblings  have  given  to  it  ita 
name  (Bow).  But  the  favourite  trip  is 
to  Burgbergy  to  which  there  is  a  choioe 
of  two  paths,  —  one  starting  from  Jnlius- 
hsll  and  the  other  from  the  'Eichea' : 
there  are  also  two  carriage-roads.  The 
mountain  (1,656  feet)  is  crowned  with 
ruins,  some  of  which,  the  Krodohalley 
are  said  to  be  the  remnants  of  an  old 
heathen  temple.  Another  was  once  the 
residence  of  the  Bmperors  (1181—1289): 
it  was  founded  by  Henry  IV.  and  has  been 
twice  rebuilt.  The  spot  affords  a  fine 
view,  and  is  also  interesting  for  its  gran- 
ite stone  in  memory  of  Uhlaady  and  fnr 
the  Canossa  monument  upon  which  » 
engraved  Bismarck's  memorable  wo  i 
uttered  in  the  Beichstag  in  May  1871 
"Nach  Canossa  gehen  wir  nicht".

eye  sweeps  the  horizon  in  every  direction, 
it  being  possible  to  see  the  spites  and 
towers  of  Brunswick,  Hanover,  Gassel, 
Gotha,  Erfurt  and  Magdeburg.  As, 
however,  the  horizon  never  remains 
clear  for  long  together,  it  is  advisable 
to  reach  the  summit  before  night*fal], 
and  to  remain  till  next  moininsr. 

Adjacent  to  the  hotel  is  the  Heteoro- 
logrical  Station;  while  not  far  from  the 
south-eastern  corner  is  the  Witches' 
Basin  and.  a  short  distance  beyond,  the 
Deril's  Pulpit  and  the  Witehes'  Altar, 
where,  according  to  the  legend,  the 
witches  meet  on  May- Day  Eve. 

The  tradition  may  perhaps  have  arisen 
from  the  *Broeken  Spectre*,  a  well-known, 
thoagh  rare,  phenomenon,  in  which  the 
shadow  of  the  mountain  is  cast  by  the  sun 
upon  a  bank  of  fog.  The  legend,  it  will  be 
remembered,  has  been  dettly  woven  by 
Goethe  into  his  drama  of  Faust.

an  iron  cross  which  causes  the  magnetic

a  number  of  villas  have  op.  Thia  colony 
iDO^udBft  the  river  Bode-  The  stream 
runs  through  a  wild  and  maguidoeub 
valley,  and  divides,  in  its  course,  the 
Kingdom  of  Prussia  from  the  Duchy  of 
Brunswick.  The  valley  is  by  far  the 
finest  in  the  whole  of  the  Hars:  from 
among  the  woods  which  clothe  its  steep 
and  rugged  sides,  crop  up,  at  every  bend 
and  turn,  fantastic  crags  with  which 
some  weird  and  ancient  legend  has  been 
linked.  Thale  is  also  an  important 
bath  with  springs,  rich  in  iodides,  bro- 
mides and  chlorides. 

EXCUBSIONS:  From  Hubartnsbad  up- 
stream, to  Bosstrappe*  The  route  lies 
along  the  Bode  as  far  as  the  first  bridge 
above  Hubertus  Island.  Tourists  follow- 
ing the  right  bank  must  cross  this  bridge 
at  Waldkater,  and  take  the  path  through 
the  preserves  and  across  Bfilow  Hdhe. 
Another  route  by  which  this  height  may 
be  reached  is  across  the  bridge  near 
the  Bleehhfltle  and  up  the  hills,  bearing 
then  to  the  left.  From  Billow  H5he,  the 
road  winds  along  the  hills  south-west- 
wards to  Bosstrappe.  This  consists  of 
precipitous  rocks  rising  to  a  height  of 
some  1,960  ft  It  derives  its  name  from 
an  enormous  horseshoe,  the  hoof  print 
of  a  legendary  steed. 

Prom  the  Uosstrappe,  following  our 
way  a  few  steps  backwards,  we  come 
to  the  Sehorre,  a  sig-sag  path  on  the 
left  leading  down  again  to  the  stream, 
at  a  spot  which  forms  the  entrance  to 
the  Bodekessel.  This  is  a  rugged  de- 
pression in  the  vale  of  the  Bode,  built 
up  of  great  granite  blocks.  Returning 
down  Stream  from  the  Sehurre,  a  walk 
of  some  7  minutes  brings  us  to  Konigs- 
rnhr,  where  we  oross  the  stream  by  the 
Jungfera  Bridge  and  follow  a  shady 
path  through  the  HIrseh  grand  to  La

than  the  latter.  From  the  hotel,  the  cliffs 
fall  preoipitously  to  the  river  below, 
whose  murmnring  is  distinctly  audible. 
Looking  down  the  valley,  we  perceive 
Qaedlinbnrg  and  the  quaint  town  of 
Halberstadt,  while,  with  the  help  of  a 
telescope  placed  at  the  disposal  of  gaests, 
the  towers  of  Kagdebnrg  cathedral  come 
into  view.  Taken  all  in  all,  Hexentans- 
platB  is  one  of  the  most  delightful  places 
to  stop  at  in  the  whole  of  the  Hars; 
while,  apart  from  its  own  beauties,  it  is 
an  admirable  centre  for  some  fine 

EXCUBSIONS,  of  which  the  favourite 
is  along  the  beautiful  road  past  Dan-

<|1JEDJLINBVR«  (POP.:  24.000.  -> 
HOTELS:  Bar;  Buntes  Lamm)  is  situated 
some  three  miles  to  the  N.B.  of  the 
Ham  Mts.  It  was  founded  by  Henxj  I., 
who,  according  to  tradition,  received 
the  imperial  crown  at  Finkenherd  on 
the  road  to  Sohloss  PL:  at  the  time, 
he  was  setting  birdsnares,  >-  hence  his 
surname  ^he  Fowler'* 

In  the  town,  at  Sehloss  PL,  is  the 
house  in  which  Klopstoek  was  born. 
(Memorial  tablet). 

The  Bathaus,  in  the  Markt  PL,  is  quaint 
and  curious  (14*1^  cent.).  In  front  of  it 
stands  a  figure  of  Bolandf  indicating  that 
the  place  was  a  free  town,  it  having 
been  a  member  of  the  Hanseatic  League. 
Its  walls,  with  thair  towers  and  moat, 
still  witness  to  its  andent  importance. 

In  the  girls'  school^  there  is  a  Muml- 
eipal  Hnsenm  containing  collections  of 
weapons,  arms,  and  records,  including  a 
codex  of  the  'Saxon  Spiegel'  with  glossary 
(15tb  cent.^.  The  dymnaslum  contains  an 
ancient  Library  with  a  number  of  old 
MSS.,  among  them  another  and  evan 
more  celebrated  codex  of  the  Saxon 
Spiegel   18tb  cent.). 

Overlooking  the  town  on  the  western 
side  are  the  Sehloss  &:  the  Abbey  Chareb. 
Castellan  in  the  court-yard  (admission 
50  pf.).  The  castle  possesses  some  inter- 
esting pictures,  among  them  one  of 
Aurora  of  Konlcsmark,  the  mistress  of 
Avgnstas  the  Strong.  The  Abbey  Chareb, 
with  its  two  towers,  was  erected  in  its 
present  form  by  Otto  III.  During  some 
restorations,  a  small  chapel  wa^  dis- 
covered to  the  E.  of  the  tomb  of  Henry 
the  Fowler.  In  the  crypt,  which  is  de- 
oorated  with  rich  and  fantastic  Romane- 
sque sculpturing,  repose  the  remains  of 
the  founder  and  «his  consort.  In  a  romb, 
reached  by  a  narrow  stairway,  there 
are  several  cotfins,  including  the  sar- 
oophagns  of  Countess  Aarora. 


<)uediint>urg  is  a  good  oen^  tmk

the  whole  of  the  lower  Hars. 

HAIiBERSTADT  (POP.:  48,000.— 
HOTE  LS :  eoldenes  Boss ;  Prlnee  Bagens) 
lies  in  a  fertile  plain  on  the  banks  of 
the  Holtemme^  It  is  one  of  the  most 
central  spots  for  reaching  the  Hars, 
having  direct  railway  oonneotion  with 
all  the  principal  spots  in  this  beauti- 
ful mountain  group.  The  town  itself 
possesses  extensive  commereial  inter- 
ests and  some  important  factories.  It 
has  preserved  its  medissval  character 
to  a  remarkable  degree;  and  its  gabled 
houses  give  to  it  a  quaint,  old-world 
a|>p<»aranoe.  In  some  eases  the  upper- 
most floor  juts  out  to  the  extent  of 
between  three  and  four  feet.  One  of 
the  most  interesting  examples  is  to  ba 
foand  in  the  Sehahhofy  a  Renaissance 
building  erected  in  1679,  and  richly 
decorated  with  wood-carving:  this  house, 
as  well  as  Tetzel's  (l->20),  is  situated  at 
the  coiner  of  the  Fisehmarkt.  Close  by, 
in  the  Holsnarkt,  stands  the  Bathaas 
(14tb  cent.).  It  is  a  Gothic  building  with 
Renaissance  additions.  To  the  S.W. 
stands  an  enormous  figure  of  Boland; 
while,  at  th6  S.B.  corner  of  the  Markt, 
the  Batskeller  is  situated.  This  fine 
timber  structure,  richly  carved,  dates 
from  1461.  Indeed,  the  architecture  in 
wood  to  be  seen  in  Halberstadt  is 
probably  the  finest  in  Burope. 

A  little  to  the  N.  of  the  Bathaas  rises 
the  Hartlnikirehe  (14  tb  cent.)  with  fine 
towers :  opposite  its  N.  W.  comer,  a  narrow 
Hlley  leads  on  to  the  Dom  PU,  where  the 
Cathedral  stands.  The  original  building 
was  burned  down  in  the  12th  cent.;  and 
the  present  edifice,  begun  a  few  years 
later,  was  not  completed  till  the  ISt^cent. 
Oonsequently,  its  architecture  is  some- 
what incongruous;  but  the  western 
end  of  the  nave  is  pure  OgivaL  The 
interior  is  interesting,  and  possesses 
a  screen  in  late-Gothic  style.  On  the 
Dom  PI.,  there  is  a  monument  comme- 
morating the  events  of  1M70— 71:  while, 
at  the  further  end,  stands  the  Chorch 
of  oar  Lady,  the  oldest  building  in  ihm 
district.  It  is  a  Bomanesqne  basilica^, 
commenced  in  the  year  10o6,  and  pos* 
sessing  four  towers.

POTSDAIC,  for  more' than  a  century 
the  residence  of  the  royal  family,  is  be- 
autifully situated  on  the  Havel,  and  has 
been,  nom  earliest  times,  the  seat  of 
the  goTemment  of  Brandenburg.  It  has 
become  interesting  through  its  con- 
nection with  Frederick  the  Great,  who 
erected  here  a  large  number  of  palaces 
and  other  buildings.  The  most  interest- 
ing of  these  are  the  following,  namely  :~ 

Stadtsehloss,  where  Frederick  the 
Great  lived,  and  which  contains  a 
number  of  rooms  all  left  as  he  used 
them.  From  the  western  side,  a  '^Golden 
Stair-case**  leads  to  the  main  boildings. 
One  of  the  most  interesting  rooms  is 
the  Msrble  Ssloon,  with  magniilcent 
paintings  by  Vanloo,  antique  clocks  &o. 
Before  the  Schloss  stands  a  large  lime- 
tree,  where  persons  waited  to  present 
their  petitions  to  the  king. 

In  the  neighboarhood  is  the  JauU 
rartea,  adorned  with  bronse  busts  of 
York  and  BltLoher  and  several ,  other 
interesting  persons,  all  by  Ranch,  and  a 
bronse  statue  of  Frederick  William  I 
near  the  parade  ground  on  which  he 
used  to  drill  his  grenadiers. 

Frledensfcirehe  is  a  church  in^earlv- 
Ohristian  style.  It  possesses  a  dock- 
tower  180  feet  high,  and  some  beauti- 
ful Italian  sculptures.  We  enter  the 
ministers   by  a  Bomanesqae   portal   in 

Ta-ootta  and  afterwards    find    our- 

I     7es   in   the   Atrium,    where    several 

sculptures  are  to  be  seen,  such  as 

I       aes  of  Hoses,  Aaron  and  Bar(BaachX 

I      .  a  com  of  Tbe  BIsen  Christ  by  Thor- 

dsen.  To  the  right  of  the  building  is  the 

Isnsolensiy  a  magnificent  erection 
j  different  sorts  of  marble.  In  the 
i     lotnre  repose  the    remains  of    the 

peror  Frederlek  III.  and  his  consort. 


1       former  Princess  ^yal  of  Bneland. 
'e    them,    there   is   a  magnificent 


tomb,  with  a  recumbent  figure  sculp* 
tured  by  Begas  and  forming  one  of  his 
finest  works:  in  the  altar-niche,  there 
is  a  Piet4  oy  Rietsohel,  with  a  sareo- 
phagus  of  two  of  Frederick's  sons  on 
either  side:  the  whole  is  filled  up  with 
flowers  and  wreaths  sent  by  various 
emperors  and  other  personages. 

In  the  Park  of  Sanssoael  there  is 
the  Great  Foantstai«  the  water  of  which 
rises  to  a  height  of  190  feet;  round  the 
basin  stand  8  marble  figures,  of  which 
the  Venus  (Pigalle)  is  the  most  beautilul. 
Straight  ahead,  we  ascend  a  broad  flight 
of  steps  66  ft.  high,  and  broken  by  six 
terraces  with  fine  beds  of  fiowers,  hot- 
houses and  the  graves  of  Frederick  the 
Great's  dogs.  The  monarch  himself  also 
wished  to  be  bur;ied  here,  that  he  might 
be  truly  *8ans  souci*.  We  now  reach  the 

Palace  of  Sanssoueiy  erected  by 
Knobelsdorfi.  It  consists  of  only  one 
story;  and  the  rooms  where  the  king 
lived  and  died  are  still  in  the  same 
order  as  he  left  them.  The  most  Inter- 
eeting  apartments  are:— 

The  Boost  of  Yoltaire»  with  curious 
wood-carving  and  painted  walls  designed 
by  Frederick  to  represent  the  character  of 
the  French  wit,  the  peacock  typifying  his 
vanity,  the  ape  his  mimicry,  the  parrot  his 
garrulity.  The  Librsr  j  is,  of  course,  quite 
French,  and  curiously  arranged.  The  Pie- 
tare  Gallery  contains  several  good  paint- 
ings by  van  Dyck,  Bembrandt»  Ooinelius 
von  Haarlem,  Bubens  &io.:  the  visitor 
should  take  care  that  it  is  shown,  and 
not  be  put-off  with  the  corridor  where 
Watteau's  pictures  are  hung. 

TheOraageryt  in  Florentine  style  with 
several  good  paintings  &  sculptures  and, 
on  the  terrace,  the  statues  of  Ceres, 
Flora  Ac. 

The  New  Pslaecy  the  summer  residence 
of  William  II,  is  dosed  to  visitors  from 
May  till  towards  November.  It  contains 
aoo  apartments,  the  Imperial  iamily 
residing  in  the  K.  wing.  The  SheU 
Saloon  IS  richly  decorated  with  precious 
stones  and  souvenirs  brought  back  by 
William  n  from  his  travels.  Furthermore, 
the  palace  contains  a  theatre,  a  Marble  or 
Concert  Saloon  with  magnificent  painted 
ceilings  &c.  Near  the  Palace  is  the  Haaao- 
leasifWith  a  marble  statue  of  Queen  Louise 
and  the  Temple  of  Friendship,  built  by

tains the  rooms  of  Emperor  William  L

the  Electorate  ofHesseH.  It  is  now  the 
seat  of  Government  in  the  province  of 
Hessen-Nassau,  and,  since  its  annexation 
to  Prussia  in  1866,  has  become  a  large 
and  important  manufacturing  centre. 
The  population,  which,  within  this 
period,  has  nearly  trebled,  is  engaged 
principally  in  the  manufacture  of  loco- 
motives, cars  and  tools.  The  town  is, 
however,  also  devoted  to  art,  and

At  the  end  of  the  street  is  Friedrich 
Wilhelms  PI.,  embellished  with  a  foun- 
tain by  Schneider:  the  allegorical 
figures,  representing  the  rivers  Fulda, 
Werra  &c,,  are  by  Bchtermeyer, 
Running  south-west  from  here  is 
Stdnde  PL  ornamented  with  a  double 
avenue  of  linden- trees.  Here  are  situated 
the  Stdndehaus  and  the  Hall  of  Art, 
The  latter  stands  at  the  corner  of  Wil- 
helm  St.,  and  contains  an  exhibition  of 
modern  paintings,  Cassel  vying  with 
Diisseldorf  for  the  3^  place  among 
the  art  centres  of  Germany. 

The  S.W.  corner  of  Stande  PI.  is 
occupied  by  the  Barracks,  Here  we 
turn  to  the  left  and,  passing  through 


Gr.  Friedrich  St,  reach  Wilhelms  PL, 
where  the  Oberprdsidium  stands. 
The  large  building  close  by  is  the  Wit* 
helm's  Gymnasium;  from  Wiihclm's 
PI.,  we  take  the  Obere  Konig  St.,  the 
principal  business  street  of  the  town. 
A  few  paces  along  it  on  the  ri^ht- 
hand  side  is  Mess  PI.,  embellished 
with  a  bronze  bust  of  Burgomaster 
Schomburg,  A  little  further  on,  the 
street  passes  Opern  PL,  where,  in 
front  of  the  Opera  House,  stands  a 
bronze  statue  of  Louis  Spohr,  who, 
for  36  years,  conducted  the  orchestra 
here.  Leaving  Friedrichs  PL  on  the 
right,  we  proceed  to  Kdnig"s  PL, 
a  large  circus  containing  the  principal

nerous with  his  Consort  and  that 
to  Prince  Philip  of  Hessen, 

Returning  southward  through  Mittel- 
gasse  to  Stein  weg,  we  reach  the  Natural 
History  Museum,  open  Mon.  and 
Thurs.  from  lO—l,  and  Thurs.  and 
Sat.  from  3—6.  On  the  ground-floor 
and  Ist  floor  are  the  natural  history 
cabinets  with  a  herbarium  said  to  be 
the  oldest  in  Germany  (I6th  cent.): 
the  second  story  contains  the  £thno> 
logical  collections.  Adjoining  it  is  the 
Military  School  and  next  to  this 
stands  the  Museum  Fridericianum. 
This  latter  was  instituted  by  the  Land- 
grave Frederick  II.  in  1769,  and  con- 
tains collections  of  coins,  antediluvian 
relics  and  a  few  classical  sculptures. 
Its  Library,  in  which  the  Grin^ms 
laboured  for  15  years,  possesses 
170,000  vols,  and  1,600  MSS.,  among 
the  latter  being  many  rarities.  At  the 
corner  of  Friedrichs  PI.  is  the  old 
Palace  of  the  Electors:  while  in  the 
centre  of  the  square,  which  is  very 
large  and  bounded  on  three  sides  by 
avenues  of  trees,  stands  the  statue 
of  the  Landgrave  Frederick  II,  made 
notorious  by  his  having  hired  12,000 
soldiers  to  the  English  to  assist 
them  in  the  American  war  of  Inde- 
pendence. 

At  the  south-eastern  end  of   the 
square  is  a  handsome  gate,  called  the 
"AueThor**diTid  adorned  bySiemering's 
bronze  reliefs  of  the  "Warrior's  Fare- 
well and  Return'*.    It  leads  on  to  the 
Aue  (meadow),  a  fine  promenade  with 
^rench  landscape  gardening  and  beau- 
tiful trees.    It  contains  a  fine  Orange 
^ouse  and  the  Marmorbad,  a  pavilion 
mbellished  with  marble  statues  by  the 
rench  sculptor  Monnoi  (Bacchante, 
'aun   ftc).    Close  by  is   Kuuperfs

works  by  Italian,  Flemish  and  Dutch 
masters: —  indeed,  the  Cassel  Gallery 
possesses  the  best  collection  In  Ger- 
many of  pictures  by  Rembrandt  and

casts,  miniatures,  mosaics,  porcelain  &c. 
The  picture .  gallery  will  be  found  on 
the  first  floor:  it  consists  of  about 
1,000  paintings,  of  which  the  most 
noteworthy  are; —

Jordaens,  van  Dyck  &c. 

Recrossing  the  meadow,  with  its 
Bowling  Green  and  fine  view  of  the 
river,  we  come  to  Schloss  PI.,  at  the 
N.E.  corner  and  close  to  Drath  Bridge 
where  the  Palace  of  Justice  stands  and 
whence  a  quarter  of  an  hour's  walk

WILHELMSHOHS,  which  may  be 
reached  in  one  hour  on  foot  through 
an  avenue  of  fine  lime-trees,  was 
formerly  the  summer  residence  of  the 
Electors.  It  has  a  world-wide  cele- 
brity on  account  oT  its  magnificent 
situation  and  lovely  grounds.  The 
castle  itself  is  luxuriously  appointed: 
the  public  are  shown  over  it  by  the 
castellan  on  week-days,  provided  the 
Imperial  family,  which  spends  a  part 
of  the  summer  here  every  year,  is 
not  in  residence.  It  is  principally 
interesting  as  the  place  where  Napo- 
leon III.  was  retained  as  prisoner  of 


war  in  1870.  To  the  N.E.  of  it  lie  the 
hot-houses,  in  which,  during  the  spring, 
a  fine  show  of  camelias  is  to  be  seen. 
Behind  it  is  the  Guard 'house  and 
Grand  Hotel  Wilhelmshohe  {formerly 
Schombardt),  whence  winding  paths 
lead  up  to  the  new  waterfall.  Another 
dim  by  by  the  reservoir,  brings  us  to 
the  temple  of  Mercury.  From  here,  we 
may  take  one  of  several  paths  through 
the  woods  to  the  Riesenschloss  (Ok- 
togon),  the  highest  point  in  the  park 
and  from  the  platform  of  which  a 
splendid  view  may  be  enjoyed. 
On  a  high  column  here,  rises  a  co-

fine  view  is  obtained  from  the  look- 
out tower  at  the  Elf  Buchen  (Eleven 
Beeches),  a  spot  about  25  minutes* 
walk  to  theN.  But  the  great  attractions 
at  the  Oktogon  are  the  Cascades, 
foaming  down  the  side  of  Carlsbdrg 
and  terminating  in  Neptune's  Basin. 
From  this  last  spot,  we  proceed

a  certain  quantity  of  sodium  and  po-

the  modern  methods  of  treating  heart- 
disease  practised  by  its  physicians,  that 
the  spa  owes  its  rapidly  growing  fame. 
The  climate,  which  corresponds  in 
general  to .  that  of  Centra]  Germany, 
is  influenced  in  a  specially  agreeable 
manner  by  the  proximity  of  the  Taunus, 
which  causes  a  refreshing  coolness 
to  make  itself  felt  morning  and  evening. 
The  average  temperature  from  May  !»* 
till.  October  lfl<i  is  16.80  c.  =  62,24®  F. 
In  the  month  af  July  it  rises  to  19**  C. 
=  66.20  F.  The  average  height  of 
the  barometer  is  750  mm.  The  air, 
owing  to  the  proximity  of  the  thickly 
wooded  Taunus  range,  is  fresh  and 
.pure   and   rich,  in  ozone   by  reason 


of  the  large  graduation  works  (Gra- 
dierwerke). 

There  are  5  drinking  springs:  the 
Kur  and  Karlsbrunnen  (for  use  under 
treatment  only)  are  mildly  carbonated 
stimulating  waters  promoting  intestinal 
circulation  and  secretion  and  relieving 
congestions  of  the  abdominal  organs; 
the  Germaniabrunnen,  Schwalheimer 
Brunnen,  Ludwigsbrunnen  and  Lowen- 
quelle  are  not  only  medicinal  but  also 
excellent  table  waters. 

The  springs  which  are  used  for 
bathing  purposes  are  Nos  XII,  VII 
and  XIV.  The  different  kinds  of 
baths  are  as  follows; — 

Brine  Baths  (reed   from  iron   and

calcium  salts  as  well  as  carbonic  acid 
by  the  process  of  "graduation". 

Thermal  Baths  coming  from  the 
open  thermal  tanks  where  a  portion 
of  the  carbonic  acid  gas  evaporates, 
the  wat6r  being  exposed  to  the  air. 

Thermal  Sprudel  (Effervescing) 
Baths  containmg  much  carbonic  acid 
and  coming  from  the  covered  tanks 
where  almost  the  full  temperature  and 
all  the  carbonic  acid  of  the  Sprudel 
are  preserved. 

Sprudel  Baths,  The  water  of  the 
springs  is  led  through  conduits  from 
the  upper  tube,  direct  to  the  bath 
without  coming  into  contact  with  the 
outer  air,  so  that  it  preserves  its 
full  amount  of  carbonic  acid  gas. 


Stream  Baths.  By  means  of  a  • 
special  contrivance  attached  to  the 
baths,  it  is  possible  to  arrange  for 
stream  baths  with  continuous  inflow 
and  outflow  of  the  water.  They  are  of 
three  kinds,  namely,  sprudel,  thermal- 
sprudel,  and  thermal. 

All  tiie  baths  can  be  strengthened 
at  will  by  the  addition  of  the  excel- 
lent mother-lye  which  is  extracted  in 
Nauheim   during    the   preparation 
the  salt. 

Owing  to  this  manifold  variety 
is  possible  to  prescribe  baths  sui 
exactly  to  the  temporary  mor 
condition,  i.  e.  to  tiie  individual  ne( 
of  the  patient.

Establishment  fitted  with  the  most 
modern  apparatus  for  massage  and 
therapeutic  gymnastics. 

The  Swiss  Dairy  (from  Appenzell) 
providing  all  kinds  of  dairy  produce. 

The  diseases  for  the  cure  of  which 
Nauheim  is  celebrated  are: —  Dise- 
ases of  the  heart,  of  the  endocarditic 
type;  the  after-result  of  rheumatism; 
gout  and  all  kinds  of  rheumatism; 
diseases  of  the  peripheric  and  central 
nervous  system;  female  complaints; 
disorders  in  the  normal  state  of  the 
blood,  asthenia,  chronic  catarrh,  con- 
gestion in  thd  abdominal  organs, 
chlorosis,  anaemia  &c.  &c. 

The  baths  of  Nauheim  produce 
peculiarly  stimulating  effects  on  the 
thinnest  ramifications  of  the  nerves 
in  the  epidermis  which  acting  on  the 
whole  nervous  system  beneficially  in- 


fluence the  whole  body.  The  action 
of  the  heart,  the  respiration,  the  pres- 
sure of  the  blood,  the  whole  circulation, 
the  temperature  of  the  bo'dy  and^ 
consequently,  the  change  of  tissue 
can  be  regulated  thereby.  This 
stimulus  enables  the  body  to  absorb 
and  secrete  diseased  matter,  excites 
it  to  generate  a  new  healthy  tissue, 
brings  about  a  better  assimilation  of 
food,  and  invigorates  the  whole  body 
including  those  parts  of  it  which 
have  been  impaired  by  disease.  The 
beat  of  the  heart  grows  slower  and 
stronger,  the  pulse  grows  fuller, 
ana  the  breathing  more  regular  and 
quiet. 

Though  Nauheim  is  pre-eminently 
a  health  resort,  it  is,  nevertheless^ 
an  extremely  agreeable  place  to  stay 
at.  A  fine  orchestra  plays  thrice 
daily;  concerts,  fire-work  displays  and 
balls  take  place  at  frequent  intervals; 
theatrical  and  operatic  performances 
are  given  in  the  Kurhaus,  which,  with 
its    broad  terrace,    is  the  centre    Oi

is  very  extensive  and  is  beautifully 
laid-out:  it  contains  a  lake  that  af- 
fords opportunity  for  boating  and 
fishing.  The  lawn-tennis  courts  have 
been  recently  reconstructed  in  accor- 
dance with  the  latest  requirements;  the 
well-kept  golf-links  are  prettily  situ- 
ated at  the  edge  of  the  woods.  The 
walks  and  excursions  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood are  very  fine. 

Divine  service  is  provided  for  aH 
creeds. 

Three  years  ago  the  State  recogni- 
zed the  growing  importance  of  Bad- 
Nauheim,  and  its  legislature  voted 
the  sum  of  7,500,000  Marks  for  im- 
provements of  all  kinds.  Six  new 
bath  houses  are  to  be  erected,  four 
of  which  will  be  in  readiness  for  the 
season  1908.  Two  central  admi- 
nistrative buildings,  a  heat  and  electric 
light  plant  as  well  as  a  laundry 
were  finished  and  put  in  operation 
in   1907.  — 

Nauheim  possesses  the  peculiar 
advantage  of  improving  the  tissues 
and  relieving  the  affections  caused  by 
advancing  years. 


The  walks  and  excursions  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood are  very  fine,  the  favourite 
being  to '  the  villages  of  Nieder  and 
Ober  MOrlen,  to  the  rose -gardens  of 
Steinfurth.  to  Wisseiheim,  Schwalheim, 
Dorheim,  Friedberg  Gastle  &o. 

Among  the  many  admirable  privats 
institutes  of  the  spa,  the  following 
deserve  special  mention  r— 

Karhans  Lindenhof.  This  establish- 
ment is  under  the  care  of  Sanitatsrat 
Dr.  Waehenfeldy  who,  with  his  able  staff, 
devotes  himself  principally  to  patients 
sufi ering  from  heart-disease,  gout,  rhea- 
matism,  scrofula,  and  female  complaints. 
Moreover,  oonvalescents  and  persona 
run  down  in  health  will  find  here  a 
comfortable  home  under  careful  medical 
supervision;  while, great  attention  being 
paid  to  a  well-ordered  diet,  dyspeptics 
and  others  are  foond  in  great  number 
in  the  institute. 

FRIEDBERG  (POP.:  7.800.  — 
HOTELS:  Trapp;  Weith),  once  a  very 
important  place,  is  famous  for  its  so- 
called  ''Judenbad"  (ilih  cent?)  and  ita

FRANKFORT  is  a  celebrated  old 
city  which,    as   one    of  the   leading 


members  of  fhe  Hanseatic  League, 
maintained  its  independence  until 
after  the  war  of  1866.  It  then  became 
incorporated  with  Prussia,  but  retained 
its  importance  as  one  of  the  chief 
money-markets  of  the  world,  its  Stock 
Exchange  being  among  the  principal 
bourses  in  Germany.  The  city  is 
also  t  busy  commercial  and  industrial 
centre,  with  a  large  trade,  in  wines, 
soaps  &c.  Its  literary  and  historic 
associations  will  be  gathered  from 
the  many  monuments  and  ancient 
edifices  embellishing  the  streets  and 
squares  of  the  city,  which  is  divided 
into  the  Altstadt  and  the  Ncustadt. 
The  former  consists  largely  of  narrow 
alleys  and  courts:  many  of  the  build-

ings  are  gabled,  and  have  the  old 
projecting  floors  such  as  are  to  be 
seen  in  Chester,  Halberstadt  and  t)ther 
old  European  towns.  The  Ncustadt 
is  the  centre  of  the  money-market, 
and  possesses  a  large  number  of 
fashionable  shops,  cafes  &c. 

The  Railway  Station  lies  in  the 
S.W.  of  the  town:  proceeding  from 
it  eastwards  through  Kaiser  St.,  we 
reach  Rossmarkt,  embellished  with  a 
r  lumental  group  of  Gutenberg,  Fust 
s  Schoffer  (see  Mayence).  To  the  N. 
c  on  Goethe  PI.  stands  a  handsome 
r  ument  of  Germany's  greatest  poet, 
c  in  bronze,  in  1844,  from  designs 
\  >chwanthaler.  Beyond  the  Goethe 
I  iument  rises  the  tiew  Bourse,  a 
r  ;niticent  building,  filling  the  whole 
I       "-e  named  Borsen  PI,  It  was  built 


by  Bumitz  and  Sommer  in  1879  and 
possesses  a  splendid  Renaissance  hall, 
which  may  be  seen  between  12  and  ^ 
o'clock.  Returning  southwards  through 
Schiller  St,  we  come  to  the  SchilUf 
Monument,  occupying  a  square  which 
bears  the  dramatist's  name.  Close  by 
is  Katharinenkirche  (St.  Catharine^ 
Church)  and,  a  little  beyond  it,  at  th9 
corner  of  the  Zeil,  is  Liebfrauen  St., 
which  leads  by  the  Church  of  Our  Lady, 
past  the  Old  Bourse,  to  St,  PauV^ 
Church  (where  Parliament  so  oftlfi 
held  its  sittings),  and,  beyond  it,  to 
the  Romer  or  old  Rathaus  (1405)- 
This  last  has  now  been  incorporated 
in  a  new  triple  group  of  buildings 
known  under  the  name  of  the 

Neue  Rathaus.  In  the  modifications) 
no  important  part  of  the  old  hiftgric 


1S8 


Romer  has  suffered  change.  The  new 
structures,  designed  by  v.  Hoven  and 
Neher  in  Gothic  style,  form  a  worthy 
extension  of  the  old  edifice. 

Approaching  the  buildings  from 
Paul's  PI.,  we  have  before  us  the 
Fesisaalbau,  containing,  as  is  usual 
in  Germany,  the  Ratskcller,  which  in 
Frankfort  is  famous  for  its  RUdes- 
heimer  wines.  The  entrance  is  orna- 
mented with  suitable  carvings.  Above 
the  'cellar'  is  the  Fesisaal  itself,  a 
magnificent  hall  in  which  no  expense 
has  been  spared.  To  the  same  suite 
of  rooms  belongs  the  celebrated  Wahl- 
zimmer  der  Kurftirsien,  where  the 
Emperors  were  formerly  elected,  and 


a  fine  room,  called  the  Kaisersaal, 
embellished  with  portraits  of  the 
Geiman  Emperors  from  Charlemagne 
to  Francis  II.:  in  the  room  stands  a 
marble  statue  ottheEfttperor  Williaml. 

Adjoining  the  Festsaalbau  is  the 
Sudban  with  two  tall  towers  dubbed 
respectively  **Long  Franz"  and  "Little 
Cohen".  The  former  is  decorated  with 
an  early-Renaissance  window  and  a 
couple  of  mosaics.  The  other  tower 
bears,  as  embellishments,  four  allegoric 
figures.  A  bridge  joins  the  Siidbau  to 
the  Nordbau  in  which  the  financial 
administration  of  the  city  is  located. 

The  best  view  of  the  whole  struc- 
ture is  obtained  from  Paul's  PI.     On

"Be  united":  the  pedestal  is  embel-

On  Romerberg,  close  by,  there  is 
a  fountain,  and,  beyond,  the  Church 
of  Si,  Nicholas,  A  little  further  south- 
wards is  the  so-called  Saalhof,  built 
in  1717  on  what  is  probably  the  spot 
where  Charlemagne's  palace  stood. 
Hard  by  is  the  Eiserne  Sieg,  a  sus- 
pension bridge  for  foot-passengers, 
built  by  Schmick  in  1869.  Passing 
along  the  bank  of  the  river  eastwards, 


we  obtain  a  view  of  the  old  bridge  con- 
structed in  1342:  taking  the  third  turn- 
ing to  the  left,  we  reach  the  Cathedral, 
historically  the  most  interesting  edifice 
in  the  city.  It  was  in  this  building  that 
the  kings  and  emperors  of  the  old 
German  Empire  were  crowned.  The 
present  building  was  erected,  at  the 
opening  of  the  13*h  cent ,  on  the  spot 
where  had  stood  the  Church  of  St. 
Salvaior,  founded  by  Ludwig  the 
Pious.  It  is  a  cruciform  Gothic  building 
with  a  handsome  spire  and  three 
turrets.  The  chimes  are  very  fine,  the 
largest  of  the  ten  bells  having  been 
cast  from  French  cannon  and  requiring 
16  men  to  ring  it.    The  interior  con-

of  Borne  PI.  isRechneigrabenSt.;and  in 
the  first*turrimg  to  the  right  (Schiitzen 
St,)  ia  another  handsome  Synagogue 
erected  in  1852  in  Moorish  style. 
Schiitzen  St.  leads  down  to  Schone 
Aussichi  on  the  river  bank :  turning  to 
the  left,  we  reach  the  Obtrmainhrucke, 
at  the  head  of  which  stands  a  marble 
bust  of  Lessing  and,  behind  it,  the  city 
Library.  This  latter,  an  edifice  built 
in  1S20,  contains  about  200,000 
volumes.  In  the  vestibule,  there  is  a 
marble  statue  of  Goethe  by  Marches! 
(1838)  and  a  large  number  of  busts. 
(Admission  Mon.  and  Fri.  9—1, 
Wed.   3—5). 


From  here,  a  walk  may  be  taken 
along  the  old  ramparts,  which  have 
been  laid-out  in  grounds.  The  third 
turning  to  the  right,  Pfingstweid  St., 
leads  to  the  Schutzenbruunen  Denk" 
mat,  designed  and  executed  by 
Eckhardt  in  1887.  Beyond  it  are  the 
Zoological  Gardens,  from  the  tower 
of  which  a  fine  view  is  obtained.  The 
entrance  fee  to  the  gardens  is  1  mk., 
and  50  pf.  extra   to    the  Aquarium. 

Continuing  along  the  ramparts,  we 
come  to  Friedberger  Thor,  where  there 
is  a  monument  to  the  Hessian  soldiers 
who  fell  at  the  spot  in  1792.  Opposite 
is  "Beihmann's  Museum*'  containing

Here  we  may  leave  the  ramparts  by 
passing  through  the  Friedberger  Thor 
and  turning  to  the  right  along  Bleich  St. 
A  walk  of  a  few  minutes  brings  us  to 
Si.  Peter's,  in  whose  old  churchyard 
there  stands  a  monument  to  the  Franco- 
Prussian  War.  It  is  a  bronze  group  by 
~     hardt.     A    few    paces    further    is 
ited  the  Senchenbergische  Siift, 
ided  in  1763  and  containing  a  col- 
ons of  natural  history,  a  library  &c.

e  street,  where  the  Museum  stands, 
;  the  Eschenheimer  Tower  (1408) ; 
last  remnant  of  the  old  ramparts, 
whole  situation  of  this  tower  is  very 


beautiful.  Beyond  it,  in  the  ramparts, 
is  the  Borne Denkmal,  and,  a  few  paces 
further,  Mozart  PI.  At  the  next  corner 
is  Opern  PI.,  where  the  magnificent 
Opera  House,  one  of  the  handsomest 
buildings  of  its  kind  in  the  whole 
country,  is  situated:  it  was  et^ected, 
in  1873—1880,  from  the  designs  of 
the  Berliner  architect  Lucae.  From 
this  square  two  electric  tramways  run 
to  the  Palm  Garden  (tickets  1  Mk.), 
one  passing  through  Bockenheimer 
I^andstr.  to  the  front  entrance  and  the 
other  through  Feldbergstr.  to  the  back 
entrance. 

The  grounds  are  beautifully  laid-out 
and,  in  the  houses,  there  are  some 
fine  specimens  of  palms    and    other 


189 


tropical  plants.  The  place  is  open 
the  whole  day;  and  concerts  are  given 
every  afternoon  and  evening.  To 
the  S.  of  the  gardens,  in  Beethoven 
St.,  there  is  a  panorama  (tickets 
I  Mk.). 
Other  buildings  of  interest  are: — 
The  house  in  which  Goethe  was 
born.  It  stands  a  little  to  the  S.E. 
of  Rossmarkt,  at  23  Grosser  Hirsch- 
graben:  the  building,  bought  by  the 
'Freie  deutsche  HochstifV,  has  been 
restored,  as  far  as '  possible,  to  the 
condition  in  which  it  was  during 
Goethe's  youth.  At  the  end  of 
Hirscbgraben  is  the  Mini,  and,  close 
by,  the  Bank;  while,  crossing  the 
Untere  Mainbriicke,  and  turning  to 
the  right  along  the  river  bank, 
we  reach  SiadeVs  Art  Instiiute, 
This  last  was  founded,  in  the  18th 
century,   by  a  citizen   of  Frankfort, 


Job.  Fr.  St&del.  It  possesses  a  good 
collection  of  pictures  by  old  masters 
of  the  Dutch  and  German  schools, 
a  few  specimens  of  the  Italian  and 
Spanish  schools  and  a  large  number 
of  copper-plate  engravings. 

Through  the  centre  of  the  city, 
from  Schiller's  monument,  runs  the 
Zeil,  the  principal  business  street  of 
Frankfort:  it  is  a  broad  road,  which, 
with  its  continuation,  the  Neue  Zeil, 
ends  at  the  Zoologischer  Garten,  in 
the  £.  of  the  city.

The  8pa  is  beautifully  located  among 
well -wooded  mountains,  from  which 
osone*laden  breezes  waft  incessantly 
the  scent  of  pines  and  firs.  It  pos- 
sesses many  fine  buildings,  of 
which  the  most  striking  is  the  great 
*'Kurhaus".  This  edifice,  open  all 
the  year  round,  has  a  splendid  theatre 
and  concert  room,  together  with  one 
of  the  best  permanent  orchestras  in 
Germany. 

The  Castle,  standing  on  the  highest 
(north-western)  elevation  of  the  slope, 
and  partly  re-built  in  1680,  commands 
a  magnificent  view  of  the  Taunus. 
There  is,  of  course,  an  English  Church 
and  also  a  celebrated  Russian  Chapel. 
Of  monuments,  those  to  the  emperor 
and  the  empress  Frederick  and  that 
to  Hdlderlin  are  worth  seeing;  so,  too, 
are  the  large  bronze  statue  of  Wilhelm  I., 
and  the  Landgrafen-Denkmal  erected 


in  1906  near  the  Elisabeli)  spring. 
In  the  splendid  park,  extending  over 
more  than  300  acres,  stands  the 
magnificent  Kaiser  Wilhclm's  Bad, 
where,  besides  all  other  kinds  of  baths, 
the  celebrated  natural  carbonic  -  add 
baths  are  to  be  had.  The  springs  are 
ten  in  number,  among  them  ''Elisa- 
beth", "Kaiser"  and  •'Ludwig"  (all 
aperient),  and  ''SUhl**  and  ^'Louisen*' 
tonic.  One  of  the  springs  is  similar 
in  its  effects  the  Carlsbad  waters.  The 
waters  have  a  temperature  of  about 
60^,  and  -are  always  clear  and  spark- 
ling. The  chief  bathing  springs  are 
the  ''Soolsprudel"  and  ^^Landgrafen- 
Brunnen";  the  latter  is  also  used  for 
drinking. 

The  principal  mineral  ingredients  of 
the  Homburg  Springs  are: —  Chlorides 
of  Sodium,  Potassium,  Lithium  and 
Magnesium;  and  Iodide,  Bromide  and

curative  effects  in  cases  of  Catarrh 
of  the  Stomach,  Chronic  Constipation, 
Piles,  Complaints  of  the  Liver,  Catarrh 
of  the  Biliary  Ducts,  Obesity,  Diabetes 
ftc.  Considerable  success  has  also 
been  obtamed  in  the  treatment  of 
diseases  of  the  heart,  and  also  of 
complaints  peculiar  to  women. 

The  **Kaiser  WUhelm  Bath"  is  a 
new  building,  containing  an  mhala- 
I  room  and  fitted  with  all  modern 
an^ements  for  every  description  of 
rapeutic  bathing.  Besides  this,  there 
in  the  middle  of  the  town,  a  Bath 
jse  (Kurhaus-Bad). 
For  those  seeking  recreation  merely, 
re  are  fine  golf-links  and  tennis- 
unds;  while  the  neighbourhood 
rs   to   pedestrians  some  tempting 


excursioi^s.  One  of  the  finest  is  to 
the  Saalburg  on  the  saddle  of  the 
Taunus,  with  the  remains  of  an 
old  Roman  Castle  and  a  charming 
view.  Within  the  Saalburg  is  the 
^^Imperial  Limes  Museum**  for  Roman 
antiquities.  The  foundation  stone  was 
laid  on  Oct  11th  1900,  by  the 
German  Emperor.  The  Taunus  can 
now  be  reached  in  a  few  minutes  by 
using  the  electric  railway,  opened 
in  1900. 

The  environs  of  Homburg  are  very 
beautiful,  and  offer  opportunities  for 
most  delightful  picnics.  Two  of  the 
most  charming  spots  are  Hardtwald 
and  WildparK  the  latter  filled  with 
numbers  of  fallow-deer  maintained 
at  public  expense  and  remarkable  for 
their  tameness.

is  a  spa  on  the  southern  slopes  of  the 
Taunus  Range.  It  is  protected  from  the 
bleak  winds  of  the  N.  and  E.  by  sylvan 
heights;  so  that  the  climate  is  mild  but 
slightly  stimulating.  The  place  is  well 
supplied  with  means  of  entertainment, 
and  the  environs  of  the  Mulde  Valley, 
in  which  it  lies,  offer  ample  opportun-

BAD  KRONTHAIi  (ALTITUDE:  560

of  the  most  oharming  parts  of  the  Tannns 
Banff e.  The  climate  is  ezoeptionally

been  known  for  centuries,  are  chaly- 
beate in  oharacter.  The  waters  of  the 
Kronthal  Bronnen  are  despatched  in 
great  quantities,  the  annual  yield  being 
over  60,000,000  litres. 

They  have  proved  themselves  to  be  a 
most  admirable  remedy  for  disturbances 
of  the  nutritive  system,  for  nervous 
complaints  and  as  a  preventive  in

I  to  Kronberg  Castle  ( 1 3th  cent.). 

Castle,  which  is  still  in  an  ex- 
c  state  of  preservation,  remained 

ii  Tamily    of  its   founder  till  the 

Ij  came   extinct   in    1704.    It  is 

t  lese  Knights  of  Kronberg  that 
tl  ''**   is   supposed   to   be   in- 


debted for  its  vast  plantations  of  the 
edible  chestnut,  which  give  to  the 
place  such  a  southern  aspect.  The 
knights  are  said  to  have  brought  the 
tree  with  them  on  returning  from  one 
of  the  crusades. 

About  10  min.  northwards  of  the  town 
stands  Sehloss  Friedriehsbofy  formerly 
the  residence  of  the  late  Bmpr.  Frederick. 
Some  2Vt  miles  distant  lies 

kOnigstein. 

POPULATION:  200. 

ALTITUDE:  1,190  feet. 

HOTELS:  Pfaff;  Ord. Hotel;  both Ittcl. 

K5NIGST£IN  is  a  hamlet  much  fre- 
quented by  tourists  and  others,  on  ac- 
count of  its  romantic  and  picturesque 
situation  on  the  Taunus,  some  1,200  ft. 
above  the  sea-level.  It  is  supplied  with 
electric  light  and  consists  largely  of 
pretty  villas,  including  a  chateau  of  the 
Duke  of  Luxembourg.  To  the  west  of 
the  town,  and  crowning  a  high  and 
precipitous  cliff,  lie  the  extensive  ruins 
of  the  old  Castle,  formerly  the  fortress 
of  KOnigstein.  Half  an  hour's  walk  to 
the  north,  there  is  another  old  ruin 
called  the  CASTLE  of  FALKBNSTEIN 
overlooking  the  little  village  of  the 
same  name.  The  place  contains  a  hand- 
some new  institute  for  the  reception 
of  patients  suffering  from  pulmonary 
complaints. 

From  the  Castle  ruins,  a  delightful 
woedland  path  leads  back  to  Kron- 
berg; while,  from  Konigstein,  a  number 
of  charming  excursions  may  be  under- 
taken, the  hest  being  to  the  belvedere, 
at  Hartenberg  (20  minutes);  to  the 
pretty  dale  named  Bill  thai  (25  min.); 
a  more  distant  tour  (2  hours)  is  the 
climb  to  the  top  of  Great  Feldberg, 
the  highest  point  in  the  Taunus  (2,650 
feet)  from  which  the  view  obtained 
in  fine  weather  is  extensive  and  beau- 
tiful.

WIESBADEN  is  admittedly  the 

queen  of  Continental  spas.     It  is  a 

beautiful    town   lying  in  a  sheltered 

valley  on  the  southern  slopes  of  the 

Taunus  Range.  The  surrounding  hills, 

along  the  spurs  of  which  it  creeps 

to  within  an  hour's  distance  of  the 

Rhine,  are  densely  wooded,  and  com- 

niofely  protect  the  town  from  the  bleak 

ds  of  the  N.  and  E.    The  climate 

consequently    so    mild    that    even 

edible  chestnut,  the  almond,  the 

;nolia  and  similar  trees  flourish  in 

open  air.    The  mean  temperature, 

ummer,  is  just  over  18®C.;  while, 

/inter,  it  seldom  fails  below  3^,  the 

lest  month  being  January,  with  a 

.n  temperature  of  2^  C.     Indeed, 


the  number  of  days  during  the  year 
upon  which  outdoor  exercise  may  be 
taken  is  very  large;  and,  even  in 
winter,  one  can  commonly  sit  out  of 
doors  in  the  open  air. 

In  order  to  maintain  a  high 
standard  of  health,  Wiesbaden  has 
been  kept  a  purely  residential  town 
and  spa,  with  no  sort  of  industry 
or  manufacture  and  no  smoke  nor 
soot.  A  high -pressure  water-supply 
provides  pure  crystal -clear  water  in 
ample  volume  throughout  the  town. 
The  streets  are  scrupulously  clean  and 
are  continually  watered  with  great  care ; 
while  a  thorough  system  of  disinfection 
is  regularly  carried  out  As  a  conse- 
quence, the  mortality  —  always  a  very

The  town  is  filled  with  attractions; 
and  a  view  of  the  place  shows,  at 
a  glance,  what  a  large  number  of 
handsome  edifices  it  contains. 

As  at  all  great  spas,  the  Pavilion 
(Kurhaus)  forms  the  central  point  of 
interest  in  Wiesbaden.  It  is  a  splendid 
structure  occupying  the  site  of  a 
famous  predecessor  erected  by  the 
Duke  of  Nassau,  and,  seen  across 
the  Flower  Garden  with  its  fountain  I 


and  bordering  avenue  of  grand  trees, 
forms  one  of  the  most  beautiftil  sights 
of  the  town.  The  exit  at  the  back  of 
the  building  opens  on-to  the  Kurpark, 
where  the  band-stand  is  situated  and 
where  there  is  a  monument  to  Gustav 
Freytag.  Here,  too,  in  the  middle  of 
the  lake,  the  great  fountain  springs 
aloft  to  a  height  of  about  100  feet. 
The  front  of  the  building  looked  across 
to   Kaiser  Friedrichs  PI. 

To  the  N.  of  the  Kur  grounds  are 
situated  a  Branch  Post  Office  and  the

The  Wiesbaden  Springs  have  been 
known  from  Roman  times.  They  have 
a  high  temperature  (69^  0.)  and  contain 
principally  common  salt,  with  a  certain 
amount  of  chlorides  of  calcium,  potas- 
sium, lithium  &0.:  the  proportion  of 
protoxide  of  iron  is  very  small;  and 
the  waters  are  principally  of  value  as 
thermal  saline  springs.  The  number  of 
thermal  baths  is  about  900,  the  water 


for  which  is  supplied  by  20  springs; 
BO  that  no  fewer  than  2,600  persons  can 
bathe  daily.  The  complaints  treated 
are  chiefly  rheumatism,  soat,  neuralgia, 
paralysis,  skin-diseases  «e. 

The  waters  are  drunk  mostly  at 
the  Kotfhbmnaesy  dnriny  the  earlier 
hours  of  the  day.  Another  drinking

As  an  adjunct  to  the  waters,  grapes

forming,  in  the  middle- ages,  a  centre 
whither,  during  the  summer,  there 
flocked  the  aristocratic  world.  The 
I7tb  cent  was  its  prime  period  of 
flourishment ;  and ,  having  declined 
during  the  Napoleonic  wars,  it  has  now 
regained  much  of  its  former  popularity.

spas  of  the  district,  lies  778  feet 
above  the  Rhine  on  the  north-west 
slopes  of,  the  Taunus  Mountains  and 
mainly  in  a  side  valley  of  the  Aare. 
Through  this  valley  flows  the  Schwal- 
bach,  whence  the  resort  has  obtained 
its  name,  the  prefix  "Langen"  having 
been  taken  from  the  straggling  form 
the  village  and  added  for  the  sake 
distinction. 

The  ancient  part  of  the  place  stands 
the  neighbourhood  of  the  protestant 
lurch  and  consists  chiefly  of  interest*

Kursaal  and  the  English  Church, 
on  the  slopes  above,  and  the  Wein- 
brunnen  and  Stahlbrunnen  in  their 
respective  valleys  below. 

Through  these  valleys  there  flow 
streams,  which,  by  erosion,  have,  in 
parts,  almost  laid  bear  the  slate  rock 
beneath.  In  such  cases  the  subterranean 
waters  with  which  the  rock  is  saturated 
find  their  way  to  the  surface. 

Most  of  the  springs,  and  especially 
the  Stahlbrunnen  and  Weinbrunnen, 
are  rich  in  iron  of  an  easily  assimilable 
character  owing  to  the  presence,  in 
great  quantity,  of  carbonic  acid.

I  mentioned  are  exported  in  bottles,  and 

they  are  the  only  springs  having  Pump- 

Rooms.  Both  these  and  the  remaining 

springs  are  of  great  value  for  bathing 

purposes ;  while  bf  at  least  equal  value 

with  the  waters  are  the  famous  and 
1^,  vast  peat- beds  found  in  the  district 

p  and  remarkable,  for    the  quantity  of 

^  salts  which  the  mineral  springs  have 

F  been  depositing  in  them  for  ages. 

f  THE  WATERS   AS   A   BETEBAGE.  — 

From  the  aforesaid  details  it  becomes 

dear  that,  the  chalybeate  waters  being 

easily  assimilated,  their  effeot  is  to  im- 
prove the  blood,  strengthen  the  nerves, 

morease  the  appetite  and  assist  digestion. 
THE    WATEBS   AS    BATHS.   —    Their 
r  external  effect  is  to  remove  scurfy  and 

I  homy  matters  from  the  epidermis,  as  well 

P."  as  to  cleanse  the  ^ores  and  increase  the 

^  activity  of  the  skin.  Moreover,- the  car - 

i':  bonic-acid  gas  is  of  the  greatest  service 

I  in  strengthening  the  nerves  and  regn- 

■  lating  the  activity  of  the  heart;  while 

the  great  variety  of  springs  renders  it 

possible  to  adapt  the  baths  to  diseases 

of  the  most  differingohara  ter. 

PEAT- BATHS.  —  Here  the  pressure 

of  weight,  the  various  and  peculiar  salts, 

and,  above  all,  the  olmic  acid  are  very 

effective  in  stimulating  the  activity  of  the 

skin,  soothing  the  nervous  system,  aiding 

metabolism  and  resorbing  discharges. 

INDICATIONS.  —  The  principal   ail- 
ments  treated   are:—  clorosis,  ansBmia, 

catarrh  of  the  stomach,  dyspepsia,  dis- 
eases of  the  kidneys  and  bladder,  malaria, 

Basedow's  -  disease ;     nervous    debility, 

hysteria,   paralysis,   rheumatism,   gout, 

and  all  kinds  of  female  complaints. 

TBEATHBNT.  —  In  order  to  deal  ef- 
fectively with  these  illnesses,  the  various 

Bath-houses,  Sanatoriums  &c.  are  fitted 

up   with  every  conceivable  therapeutic 

appliance  which  may  aid  in  the  treatment. 
Moreover,  the  well-kept  paths  in  the 

lovely  vicinity  of  the  spa  are  carefully 

graduated  to  adapt  them  to  the  various 

gatients  and  to  assist  in  the  cure  of 
eart- disease. 
BNTEBTAINMENTS.  —  The  place  con- 
tains a  magnificent  Pavilion  where  all 
sorts  of  entertainments  are  arranged. 
Open-air  concerts  are  given  at  thePamp- 
rooms;  and  there  is  plenty  of  opportunity 
for  lawn -tennis,  fishing  Ike;  while  the 
character  of  the  environs  ia  such  as  to 


render  picnics  and  excursions  very 
enjoyable.  In  th'e  valley  of  the  Weiiii* 
brunnen,  there  are  some  fine  Golf-Uafes, 
which  were  opened  in  the  year  1907.

This  is  a  charming  village  and  spa 
with  a  permanent  population  of  between 
800  and  4(0.  It  is  situated  on  the  southern 
slopes  of  the  Taunus  Range  at  an  ele- 
vation of  nearly  1,000  feet:  while  the 
lovely  valley  in  whioh  it  lies  is  sur- 
rounded by  tree-olad  hills  rising  to  a 
height  of  2,000  feet.  The  climate  is  very 
invigorating  and  refreshing;  and  osa  is 
made  of  whey  as  an  adjunct  to  tLie 
thermal  baths,  whose  temperature  variea 
between  2t^  and  Q2fi  G.  The  waters  rtb 
used  either  at  their  natural  temperature 
or  artificially  watmed.  The  analysis 
made  by  Fresenina  in  1888  gives  ihe 
following  results: —  calcium  sulpliate 
0.018,  carbonate  of  lithium  0.0026,  sodium 
carbonate  0.002,  sodium  chloride  0,27 
with  a  large  proportion  of  free  carbonic 
acid. 

The  waters  of  the  Setalangea quelle  and 
Marlen  quelle  are  also  used  for  drinking 
purposes. 

The  above  methods  of  treatment,  com- 
bined with  the  bracing  character  of  the 
atmosphere,  are  exceedingly  bene^eial 
in  cases  of  nervous  affections,  female 
complaints,  skin  -  diseases,  gout  and 
rheumatism,  and  also  for  convalescents 
and  aged  persons.

The  city  of  HANOVER,  a  favourite 
resort  of  Anglo-Saxons,  is  the  capital 
of  the  province  of  the  same  name, 
the  latter  having  ceased  to  be  a  king- 
dom in  1866,  when  it  became,  by 
conquest,  a  part  of  Prussia. 

It  is,  for  many  reasons,  a  great  fa- 
vourite among  foreigners.  Bordered 
to  the  north  and  east  by  extensive 
woods,  to  the  west  by  Herrenhausen 
Park  and  to  the  south  by  the  lovely 
grounds  of  the  Maschpark,  the  town  la 
one  of  the  healthiest  and  pleasantest 
in  Europe.  The  roads  are  paved

provided  with  special  wooden  tracks 
rendering  it  a  perfect  Eldorado  for 
cyclists.  Taxation  is  low  and  living 
cheap.  Moreover ,  fine  museums, 
libraries,  colleges  of  science,  the  con- 
servatory of  music  and  other  edu- 
cational institutes  of  the  town  make 
it  a  leading  place  of  residence  for 
young  people,  particularly  as  the 
German  spoken  here  is  almost  un- 
rivalled for  purity. 

The  Society  for  Promoting  the  In- 
terests of  Foreign  Visitors  (Verein  fur 
Fremdenverkehr)  gladly  furnishes  in- 
formation and  guide  gratis. 

The  Railway  Station  is  situated  in 
the  centre  of  the  town.  In  front  of  it 
is  a  bronze  statue  of  Ernst  August; 
close  by  stands  the  Post  &  Telegraph 


Office;  while  opposite  the  station,  at 
No.  5  Ernst  August  PL,  are  the  offices 
of  the  Society  for  Promoting  the 
Interests  of  Visitors,  where  verbal  or 
written  information  may  be  obtained 
gratis,  (open  on  weekdays  10 — 1  and 
3  —  5  o'clock).  Bahnhof  St.  leads  into 
Georg  St.,  the  principal  street  and 
promenade  of  the  town. 

At  the  comer  is  the  favourite  CM 
Kropcke,  designed  by  Goetze  and 
larged  by  Lorenz.  From  the  col 
house,  with  its  beautiful  garden, 
admirable  view  of  the  bustling

bellished with  statues  of  Sophocles, 
Terence,  Goldoni,  Moliere,  Shakspere, 
Calderon,  Lessing«  Goethe,  Schiller, 
Mozart,  Beethoven  and  Weber.  The 
building  contains  an  auditorium,  de- 
corated with  beautiful  symbolic  fres- 
coes and  arabesques,  and  capable  of 
accommodating  1,650  persons. 

In  front  of  this  edifice  is  a  monu- 
ment to  Marschner,  the  composer 
and  conductor.  The  musician  is  re- 
presented leaning  upon  the  conductor's 
lectern  as  though  listening  to  the  music 
as  it  issues  from  the  building  within 
whose  walls  he  so  long  laboured. 
Here,  too,  are  a  marble  monument 
to  Siromeyer,    the    surgeon,    and    a 


bronze  statue  to  the  famous  techno- 
logist Karmarsch,  for  many  years 
Director  of  the  Polytechnic  Academy. 
On  the  W.  side  of  the  Platz  is  So- 
phien  St.,  where  the 

Kunstlerhaus  is  situated.  It  is  a 
handsome  structure  in  Romanesque 
style,  erected  in  1855  by  Geheimpr 
Regierungsrat  Hase  and  possessing 
a  fa9ade  ornamented  with  statues 
of  Diirer,  Leibniz,  Peter  Vischer  and 
A.  V.  Humboldt,  alternately  represent- 
ing art  and  science.  The  granite 
lions  flanking  the  steps  are  copies 
of  the  ancient  Egyptian  work  in  the 
Capitol  at  Rome.  In  the  Kiinstler- 
haus  are  held  the  annual  exhibitions 
of  the  Kunstverein.

mementos    of   the    past    life    of   the 

Hanoverian    peasantry    and    citizens.

Marien  St.,    to    the    left,    is   the 

autiful  Gartenkirche,  a  white  sand- 

"oe   building,    with    an   interesting 


churchyard  containing  the  remains  of 
Charlotte  Kestner  (Werther's  Lotte), 
and  Caroline  Herschel,  sister  of  the 
celebrated  astronomer.  There  is  also 
a  curious  grave  to  be  seen  here:  the 
tombstone  bears  an  inscription  for- 
bidding the  opening  of  the  grave. 
Oddly  enough,  under  this  very 
stone,  a  seed  became  lodged  which, 
sprouting,  has  burst  open  the  tomb, 
and  tilted  the  enormous  stone  which 
sealed  it. 

Returning  across  Aej^idien-Tor  PI., 
we  soon  reach  Aegidienkirche,  a 
14th  century  building  with  a  Renais- 
sance tower  added  in  the  18  th  cent 
After  the  demolition  of  the  original 
edifice,  a  Gothic  structure  was  erected 
having  a  nave    and    two  aisles,  the

whole  of  which  was  completely  re- 
modelled by  Laves. 

Opposite  the  cliurch  stands  the 
ancient  "Justiz  Kanzlei"  —  now  a 
private  residence:  it  is  a  Gothic 
building  with  a  notable  brickwork 
gable  in  the  front. 

Passing  through  Markt  St.,  we 
reach  the  Marklkirche,  the  oldest 
church  in  Hanover,  it  being  mentioned 
as  early  as  1238.  The  g[ass  in  the 
choir  dates  from  the  14th  cent: 
the  rest  of  the  windows  are  beau- 
tiful, modern  work;  while  the  interior, 
restored  in  1850,  is  decorated  with 
paintings  by  Schaper. 

The  MarM  PI,  is  embellished  with 
a  monument  to   Luther  and   with   a 


statue  of  Ernest  the  Confessor,  Duke 
of  Brunswick  &  Liineburg,  and  one 
of  his  wife,  Elisabeth. 

Close  by  is  the  Old  Rathaus,  com- 
menced in  1439,  but  restored  and 
enlarged  at  later  periods. 

At  No.  10  Schmiede  St.,  Leibniz 
once  lived:  the  house,  which  is  a 
beautiful  example  of  German  Renais-

by  the  Industrial  Art  Museum, 

From  the  Marktkirche  westwards,

The  interior  is  decorated  with  ad-

Between  the  principal  sentry-box

Palais  in  which  were  born  Queen 
Louise  *the  Good'  of  Prussia  and  her 
sister.  Queen    Friederike  of  Hanover. 

At  the  corner  of  Friedrich  St.  is 
the  new  Rathaus,  once  the  palace

Close  to  the  Kestner  Museum,  an 
imposing  new  Rathaus  is  in  course 
of  erection. 

In  the  grounds,  there  is  a  handsome 
fountain,  surmounti^  by  a  Siaiue  of 
Guienberg,  now  generally  admitted 
to  be  the  inventor  of  movable  types 
(see  Mayence  and  Haarlem). 

Close  by  this  fountain,  amidst  the 
beautifully  laid-out  grounds  of  the 
"Masch  Park"  rises  the  Provincial 
Museum,  a  fine  structure  in  Italian 
Renaissance  style,  crowned  by  a 
fine  cupola.  The  entrance  to  the 
Art  Collections  is  on  the  left  side, 
and  that  to  the  Natural  History  Col- 
lections on  the  right.  The  joint 
Collections  of  Brunswick  and  LQne- 
burg  (Guelph  Museum  and  Cumber-

to  this  museum.  To  the  right  of 
the  entrance-hall  are  the  Pre-historic 
and  Ethnological  departments.  In  the

Westwards  lies  Waterloo  PL,  with 
a  column  erected,  in  1826,  to  the 
Hanoverians  who  fell  at  the  battle 
of  Waterloo:  the  column,  which  was 
designed  by  Laves,  is  surmounted 
by  a  copper  figure  of  Victory  (Hengst) 
and  affords  a  good  view  of  the 
town.  The  Plaiz  is  one  of  the 
drill -grounds  for  the  military;  and, 
adjoining  the  barracks,  there  stands 
the  Armoury,  containing  the  flags 
of  the  Hanoverian  army.  Opposite 
is  the  Polizei'Prdsidium,  an  imposing 
building.  Not  far  distant  is  a  Statue 
of  Count  Alten,  the  general  who 
took  part  in  the  Peninsular  War  and 
at  Waterloo.  Hard  by,  there  is  a 
bust  of  Leibniz,  a  work  executed 
by  Hewetson,  the  Irishman.  Here, 
too,  are  the  Royal  Archives  and 
Library,  and  the  Oberprdsidium, 
Through  Archiv  St.,  turn  to  the  left, 
and  on  the  right  is  the  Neustddter 
Kirche,  where  the  remains  of  Leibniz, 
the  philosopher,  are  interred:  it  is 
a  Renaissance  structure  containing  a 
16th  cent  communion  cup  and  other 
interesting  objects.  At  the  N.  end  of 
the  street  is  the  handsome  Synagogue, 
a  Moresque  edifice  designed  by  Oppler 
and  situated  in  the  middle  of  the  old 
town  with  its  quaint  and  crooked 
streets.  The  newer  town  is  hand- 
somely built,  with  broad  roads  and 
fine  modem  edifices. 

Working    westwards,     we    reach

919 


Goethe '  PL,  where  stands  a  hand- 
some 

Garrison  Church  in  Romanesque 
style.  In  the  north-west  of  the 
town  begins  Herrenhausen  Allee 
on  the  right  hand  of  which  rises 
the  Welfenschloss ,  an  imposing 
Romanesque  building  now  used  as 
a  Polytechnic  School.  In  front  of 
the  building  is  a  beautiful  prancing 
stallion,  called  the  Saxon  Horse, 
Behind  the  palace  is  the  Welfen 
Garden,  which  is  very  prettily  laid- 
out.  To  .the  left  of  the  avenue 
are  the  pretty  grounds  known  as 
Georgen  Garden,  and,  at  the  end, 
is  situated 

The  Schloss  in  Herrenhausen,  once 
the  residence  of  the  kings  of  Hanover. 
It  contains  numerous  portraits  and 
other  interesting  memorials  of  the 
Guelph  family. 

Southwards  of  the  Schloss  lies  the 
French  Garden,  in  Lewis  XIV.  style, 
with  an  open-air  theatre  and  numerous 
statues  and  fountains.  These  last  play 
on  Sun.  &  Wed.  from  4 — 6  p.  m.  (May 
to  Aug.),  and  3 — 5  p.  m.  (Sept.):  the 
finest  of  them  rises  to  the  remark- 
able height  of  67 "2  metres,  an  ele- 
vation hitherto  unattained  by  any 
other  fountain. 

Not  far  from  the  fountain  is  situated 
the  statue  of  the  Eleciress  Sophia, 
which  marks  the  spot  where  she  died. 
The  French  Garden  received  its  present 
form  in  1666  from  designs  by  Le  Notre, 
the  famous  Matire  des  Jar  dins 
Royaux  under  Lewis  XIV.  Conse- 
quently, it  is,  after  the  parks  of 
Versailles  and  Schonbrunn,  the  most 
remarkable  of  its  kind.  The  Berg- 
garten,  opposite  the  Castle,  is  a 
tastefully  laid -out  spot  of  great  in- 
terest both  to  connoisseurs  and  to 
the  uninitiated.  In  spring,  a  certain 
part  of  it,  called  "Paradise",  is  re- 
markable for  its  vast  and  varied 
plantations  of  rhododendron  and 
azalea.  In  the  orangeries  and  hot- 
houses there  are  numerous  rare  and 
beautiful   plants,    including    a    large 


variety  of  orchids  and  a  fine  victoria 
regia.  But  the  most  famous  place 
is  the  palm-house  with  a  wealth  of 
tropical  plants  of  all  kinds.  A  walk, 
bordered  by  tall  old  lime-trees,  leads 
to  the  Mausoleum,  which  contains 
the  beautiful  recumbent  marble  figures 
of  King  Ernest  Augustus  and  his  con- 
sort Queen  Friederika,  —  master- 
pieces by  Rauch. 

Not  only  Herrenhausen,  but  also 
the  other  environs  of  Hanover,  are 
exceedingly  pretty.  The  favourite 
walk  is  to  the  Eilenriede,  a  forest 
(660  ha.)  which  stretches  right  up  to 
the  eastern  edge  of  the  town  and 
justly  forms  the  pride  of  the  inhabi- 
tants. Near  the  entrance  at  the  end 
of  Konig  St.,  is  the  handsome  Krieger- 
denkmal  (monument  to  warriors  killed 
in  the  Franco  -  Prussian  war  of 
1870).  In  front  of  the  pedestal  and 
flanked  on  either  side  by  allegorical 
lions  stands  the  weeping  figure  of 
Hanovera.  It  is  surmounted  by  an 
imposing  statue  of  *'Germania'*  hold- 
ing aloft  the  palm  of  peace  and 
accompanied  by  two  genii.  Close  by 
is  the  "Neue  Haus",  an  elegani 
restaurant  in  pretty  grounds.  Ten 
minutes  beyond  it  is  the  Zoological 
Garden. 

Finally,  it  may  be  added  that 
the  Hanover  cemeteries  are  of 
considerable  interest,  the  Engesoh- 
dener,  with  its  magnificent  monu' 
ments  and  beautiful  flowers,  being 
especially  fine.

mediaeval  appearance,  and  possesses 
many  good  examines  of  timber- 
work.  The  most  important  build- 
ings are:— 

The  SehloMy  a  handsome  edifice, 
erected,  in  ite  present  form,  In  1865. 
The  main  fafade,  416  ft  in  length  and 
110  feet  high,  has  a  magnificent  porch 
erowned  by  a  very  fine  quadriga,  mo- 
delled from  designs  by  Blettehel.  On 
the  parapet  are  two  enormous  statues 
of  Kaiser  Otto  IT.  and  Otto  the  Child.

is  the  Thoslre^  a  beantlfal  btiildiug,  to 
the  N.  of  which  stands  the  monument 
to  the  oomposer  Frans  Abt« 

Returning  again  westwards,  through 
Stein wegi  we  come  to  Burg  PI,,  on 
which  the  Cathedral  rises.  It  was 
built  by  Benry  the  Lion  towards 
the  cloae  of  the  12th  century  and 
is  an  edifice  in  Romanesque  style. 
Unfortunately,  the  towers,  which 
were  burned  down  the  year  after 
Its  complelion^  have  never  been  fully 
restored.  The  interior  is  shown  by 
the  sacristan,  who  lives  at  No.  5 
opposite  the  western  door. 

It  contains  an  early*  Gothic  monu- 
ment  to  the  Founder  and  his  eon- 
sort:  there  is  also  a  brass,  near 
tiie    choir^    marking  the    spot  where 


the  remains  of  the  Bmperar  Otio  I. 
are  laid.  In  the  southern  aisle,  there 
is  a  monument  to  Duke  Louis  Rudolf  , 
cast  in  zinc.  The  decoration  of  the 
nave  is  from  designs  by  Pr^f^sor 
Essenweiu,  while  the  candelabra, 
hung  in  the  nave,  is  copied  from 
that  in  Hildesheim  Cathedral.  The 
frescoes  in  the  choir  and  transept, 
the  alabaster  representation  of  Biskop 
Hermann,  the  sandstone  statue  of 
Henry  the  Lion,  the  wood^  figures 
of  John  the  Baptist  and  St.  Blasius 
and  other  carvings  are  worth  seeing. 
The  crypt,  which  is  very  large,  con^ 
tains  the  family  vault  of  several 
branches  of  the  Guelphs:  it  has 
to  be  lighted,  and  is  shown  for  a 
special  fee. 

To  the  N.  of  the  Cathedral  is  a 
bronze  figure  erected  on  a  pedestal 
by  Henry  the  Lion  (1166).  Eastwards 
from  it  is  the  old  Palace  built  by  Henry 
on  the  spot  where  the  Castle  o/Dank- 
waderode  stood.  The  present  building 
having  suffered  repeatedly  from  the 
ravages  of  fire,  has  been  recently 
restored.  The  southern  side  of  Burg  PL 
is  occupied  by  the  Police  StaUon, 
the  Law  Courts  and  the  New  Siadt- 
haus,  the  Old  Stadihaus  being  on  the 
eastern  side  of  the  square.  North  of 
this  last  building  stands  the  Armory 
and  beyond  it,  in  Caspari  St,  the 
"Provincial Museum",  On  the  square 
at  the  end  of  the  street,  there  is  a 
fountain  with  a  statue  of  Henry  the 
Lion,  Here,  too,  rises  the  Church  of 
St,  Catharine,  a  handsome  building, 
said  to  have  been  commenced  by 
Henry  the  Lion. 

HagenbrOcke,  a  street  running  west* 
wards  from  Hagenmarkt,  leads  to  the 
Neustadt  Raihaus  containing  the  ' 
Museum  with  collections  of  Tent 
antiquities,  various  works  of  ert 
The  ground -floor  contains  the  ( 
Archives  and  Library,  In  the  eout 
chamber,    there    is    some    beau 
panelling  dating  from  the  16th  < 
Through  Kuchen  St.  and  then  tal 
the   first   turning    to   the   right 


the  AUe  Vfaage,  a  fine  old 
wooden  structure  in  late-Gothic  (1634). 
Beyond  it  is  St,  Andrew* s  Church, 
of  which  the  story  goes  that  it  was 
built  by  rich  cripples:  it  is  an  edifice, 
partly  Transitional  and  partly  Gothic. 
The  tower,  300  feet  high,  was  built 
in  1740,  the  original  (1.^18)  having 
been  destroyed  by  lightning.  The 
gable  of  the  southern  aisle  is  em- 
bellished with  sculptures  representing 
the  Annunciation,  the  Adoration  of 
the  Magi,  Plight  into  Egypt  and 
the  Throne  of  Christ:  the  steps  of 
this  last  are  thronged  with  cripples 
in  allusion  to  the  above  legend. 
Returning  by  the  '*Alte  Waage"  and 
passing  through  Meinhard  Hof,  we 
turn  sharply  to  the  right,  and,  a  few 
paces  further,  reach  the  BrUdern' 
kirche,  a  large  Gothic  building  with 
a  copper  font,  some  reliefs  and  an 
excellent  altar-piece:  it  has  also  some 
beautiful  stained -glass  and  choir 
stalls.  Working  from  here  towards 
the  S.  W.,  we  come  to  Altstadt 
Markt,  where  the  Altstadt  Ratkaus 
stands.  .  It  is  an  elegant  and  inter- 
esting Gothic  building  commenced 
in  1250,  with  open  arcades  whose 
9  pillars  bear  each  a  statue  of  a 
Saxon  prince. 

Opposite  the  Rathaus  is  St,  Martinis 
Church,  founded  in  the  I2th  cent,  but 
enlarged   and   remodelled    at   several 
different  periods.     The  fafades   con- 
tain some  excellent  carving   and  fine 
porches.     In  the  wall,  at  one  of  the 
corners,  is  a  tombstone  representing 
von  Rauchhaupt   in    full   armour  as 
ho   fell   during   an    attack    upon    the 
town    in    1615.      In   the   interior   of 
the    building     is   a   brass    font    and 
interesting  old  pulpit  embellished 
ih    marble    reliefs.     There   is  also 
nonument   of  Hans  JUrgen,   the 
rover  of  the  spinning-wheel, 
'he  Altstadt  Markt  contains  also 
le  fine  old  private  houses,  and  is 
»rned  with  a  pewter  fountain  erected 
1408.    Through  the  Eiermarkt  to 
S.  we  reach  the  Synagogue,  in 


ByzantO' Moresque  style.  The  old 
ramparts,  laid -out  as  gardens  and 
promenades,  contain  several  modem 
buildings  and  statues,  among  which 
the  following  may  be  mentioned:—: 
The  Monument  commemorating  the 
war  of  1870:  it  is  an  enormous  figure 
of  Germania,  supported  by  an  obelisk. 
To  the  N.  of  it  is  a  bronze  statue 
of  Lessing,  who  died  at  12  Aegidien- 
marJti  in  1781.  He  is  buried  in  the 
Cemetery  of  St,  Magnus  Church, 
which  is  situated  in  the  S.E.  of  the 
town ;  close  by  is  a  monument  to 
Schill  who,  together  with  14  of  his 
soldiers,  was  shot  and  buried  on  the 
spot  by  order  of  Napoleon  the  First

POPULiTION:  45,080. 

HOTEL:  d'Angleterre^  l«t class,  near 
Cathedral  and  Town  Hall,  Bngliah

HILDESHEIM  is  a  semi  -  Catholic 
city,  which  has  preserved  its  mediaeval 
character  in  such  perfection  as  to 
have  earned  the  cognomen  of  Nurem- 
berg of  the  North. 

The  quaintness  of  the  place  is  in 
keeping  with  the  legend  of  its  origin. 
While  hunting,  Ludwig  the  Pious,  hav-  . 
ing  followed  the  quarry  too  eagerly, 
got  separated  from  his  companions. 
Benighted  in  a  lonely  spot,  he  lay 
down  to  sleep  and  was  visited  by  an 
angel  falling  as  snow.  This  messenger 
made  him  various  revelations,  and 
directed  him  the  way  home.  On 
waking,  the  king  found  a  rose-bush 
where  the  angel  had  stood.  Here, 
therefore,  he  erected  a  cathedral 
round  which  the  town  afterwards 
grew  up. 

Historically,  the  place  is  first 
mentioned  as  the  seat  of  a  bishop  in 
814.  In  the  following  century,  Hildes- 
heim  displayed  remarkable  artistic 
activity,  and  became,  two  centuries 
later,  one  of  the  chief  centres  of 
Romanesque  art 

Its  principal  buildings,  which  illus- 
trate admirably  the  transition  from 
Ogival  to  Renaissance  may  be  visited 


from  the  railway  station  in  the 
following  order:-" 

The  Town  Hall,  a  late- Gothic 
edifice  of  the  14th  cent,  —  colonnaded 
aAd  containing  on  the  first  floor  a  scries 
of  fine  frescoes  by  Prell:  the  most  strik- 
ing are  that  representing  Lewis  the  Pious 
and  Irmingard  conferring  the  bishopric 
on  Gunthar;  and  that  of  Hermann  (Ar- 
minius)  handing  over  the  Roman  spoil 
to  the  priests  at  Galgenberg. 

Hard  by,  there  are  several  inter- 
esting gabled  houses  embellished  with 
beautiful  carvings:  the  finest  are  the 
Templar  House,  Wedekind's  House 
(1589)  and  the  Knochenhaner  House 
(1529),  the  last  being  considered  the 
largest  and  handsomest  timber  struc- 
ture in  Germany. 


St,  Andrew's  Church  possesses  a 
14ih  cent,  choir  and  a  high  modern 
tower. 

The  Cathedral  was  founded  in  872, 
the  present  building  exemplifying  the 
late-Gothic  and  Romanesque  periods. 
The  interior,  decorated  in  Barocco 
style,  contains  numerous  interesting 
relics,  such  as  a  large  candelabra,  a 
13th  cent,  font,  a  remarkable,  carved 
pillar  and  some  very  old  MSS.  of 
music.  In  the  cloisters  will  be  found 
the  famous  rose-tree  referred-to  above. 

The  Romer-Museum  contains  varied 
collections. 

St,  Godehard's  Church  in  the  S.  of 
the  city,  is  a  12th  cent.  Romanesque 
edifice,  admirably  restored  and  con- 
taining frescoes  and  relics.

Following  the  ramparts  northwest-

by  is  St,  Michael's  Church,  founded 
by  Bishop  Bernward,  and  constituting 
one  of  the  grandest  Romanesque 
basilicas  in  Germany. 

Recently  the  town  has  begun  to 
add  to  its  artistic  interests  also 
those  of  commerce;  and  a  great 
number  of  factories  have  sprung  up 
of  which  the  most  important  is,  per-

'Hamelin  town  in  Bmnswick*',  wjth 
"the  river  Weser  deep  and  wide,  which 
washes  its  walls  on  the  sonthem  side^*, 
has  obtained  an  accidental  celebrity  Vtv 
reason  of  its  legend  of  the  Pied  P 
a  story  made  familiar  to  the  Bng

It  is  a  quaint  old  town  an^  is  jo 
to  the  left  bank  of  the  Hver  b, 
saspension  bridge,  not  far  from 
influx  of  the  Hameln  stream. 

The  finest  of  its  edifices  is  the 

Minster  of  St.Bonifaee,  sitnaied  1 
the  bridge  and  dating  from  the  ll^b  ct 
though,    after  a   oonflagration    *

Besides  this  building,  the  town  con- 
tains also  a  number  of  Renaissance 
(tmotures  of  considerable  interest,  the 
most  important  of  them  being:— 
Dempter  Honse,  at  7  Uarkt,  Hoehseits- 
hans  at  2  Oster  St.  and  the  world- 
famed  BsttenfSngerhsns  at  7  Oster  St 
The  last  of  these  is,  of  coarse,  connected 
with  the  famous  legend  referred -to 
above.  As  to  the  origin  of  the  story, 
various  explanations  have  been  given, 
the  most  commonly  accepted  being  that 
it  is  based  on  the  tradition  of  an  epi- 
demic of  choreomania  which  is  said  to 
have  seized  the  youth  of  the  town  to- 
wards the  close  of  the  13ti»  cent.  In  all 
probability,  however,  it  is  but  a  warped 
remembrance  of  the  "Children's  Orusade" 
which  took  place  in  1211. 

BXCUBSIONS:  Of  these  the  favourite 
are:—  (1)  to  the  Klfit,  a  once  fortified  ele-

PYRMONT  is  a  spa  of  great  renown 
with  a  permanent  population  of  3,000, 
the  number  of  its  guests  and  patients 
being  upwards  of  20,000  annually. 
The  h'ttle  town  is  situated,  at  an 
altitude  of  rather  more  than  400  ft., 
in  the  pretty  valley  of  the  Emmer. 
The  hills  surrounding  it  are  dad 
with  thick  woods  whose  luxurious 
foliage  enlivens  the  exquisite  scenery 
with  its  rich  tints.  They  are  reached 
by  the  beautiful  avenues  that  lead 
from  the  town  in  various  directions 
and,  commencing  with  a  gentle  in- 
cline, become  gradually  steeper  and 
steeper  as  they  approach  the  summits 
of  the  hills. 

These  last,    rising    to  a  height   of 


225 


15 


over  1,500  feet,  effectually  protect 
the  town  against  bleak  or  boisterous 
winds,  but  lend  it,  at  the  same  time, 
all  the  advantages  of  a  mountain 
climate.  The  mean  summer  temper- 
ature does  not  rise  above  16^  C; 
while  intense  cold  is  rare  during 
the  winter  months.  The  season  lasts 
from  the  beginning  of  May  till  the 
10th  of  Oct. 

The  air  is  bracing  and  invigorat- 
ing: the  newly-arrived  patient  feels, 
almost  at  once,  the  exhilarating  effect 
up'on  the  nervous  system;  the  appe- 
tite is  stimulated  and  tone  given  to  all 
the  functions  of  the  body.  Moreover, 
to  the  influence  of  the  atmosphere 
is  added  that  of  the  waters.  There 
are,  in  all,  eight  springs  falling  under 
two  heads,  namely  the  ferruginous 
and  the  saline. 


FERRUGmOUS  SPRINGS : — 
The  water  of  the  Hauptquelle  (Chief 
Spring)  contains  a  large  proportion  of 
calcium  carbonate,  calcium  sulphate 
and  magnesium  sulphate:  its  prin- 
cipal chlorides  are  those  of  sodium 
and  lithium;  while  a  large  quantity  of 
iron  occurs  in  the  form^^of  bicarboniate 
of  iron-protoxide.  The  water,  which 
is  effervescent,  tastes  ferruginous  and 
slightly  acid.  The  spring  yields  be- 
tween 350  and  400  litres  per  hour; 
and  the  water  is  consequently  des- 
patched in  large  quantities  to  various 
parts  of  the  world. 

The  Brodelhrunnen,  which  yields 
between  7,000  and  8,000  litres  hourly 
and  is  used  only  for  bathing  purposes, 
contains  also  a  large  percentage  of 
iron.  The  quantity  of  carbonic-acid 
gas    is  so  great  that,    as    the  water

rises,  it  throws  off  thousands  of 
bubbles,  which,  bursting  on  contact 
with  the  atmosphere,  produce  a 
noise  audible  throughout  the  length 
of  the  avenue  in  which  the  spring 
is  situated;  hence  its  name  of  'fons 
bulliens*. 

The  Helenenquelle  differs  but 
slightly  from,  the  Hauptquelle  in  com- 
position, containing  more  sulphates 
and  somewhat  less  iron.  Of  all  the 
chalybeate  springs  it  is  the  richest 
in  carbonic  acid,  and  possesses  a 
most  agreeable  flavour:  it  yields 
12,000  litres  of  water  an  hour  having 
a  temperature  of  12.7^  C.  and  a 
specific  weight  of  1.0038. 

Of  the  lemaining  springs  the  most 
deserving  of  mention  are :—  the  Augen- 
brunnen,  used  in  treatment  of  the  eyes, 
the    Trampelschc    Eisensauerlinge; 


and  the    Pyrmonter  Sauerling,    much 
prized  as  a  ^.able  beverage. 

The  waters  of  the  first  four  springs 
mentioned  above  are  led  through 
underground  conduits  to  the  reser- 
voirs at  Stahlbadehaus,  whence  they 
are  distributed  to  the  various  baths. 

SALINE   SPRINGS:—     The 
Salzbrunnen,    opened    in    1795    by 
Dr,  Tratnpel,  rises  on  the  left  bank 
of  the  Emmer.     The  water  is  clear, 
slightly  sparkling,  and  salt,  but  b»a 
a    very     agreeable     and    refresh 
flavour.    It  tastes  best  when  dr 
at  the  spring,  but  is  despatchec 
bottles  and  flasks  to  Pyrmont  e\ 
morning  at  sunrise. 

Close  by  is  the  Old  SoolqUi 
whose  waters,  differing  but  1 
from  the  above,  are  employed  o 
for  bathing  purposes.

The  New  Soolquelle;  bored  in  1856, 
is  situated  on  the  right  bank  of  the 
stream  at  the  foot  of  Muhlenberg, 
Its  waters,  likewise  used  for  bathing 
only,  contain  above  four  per  cent  of 
mineral  matter  (3*20/o  salt),  and  rank 
among  the  best  of  their  kind. 

As  a  valuable  adjunct  to  the  above, 
mud-baths  are  employed  according  to 
the  latest  scientific  methods. 

The  so-called  /mud',  which  contains 
a  high  percentage  of  iron,  sulphur, 
carbonic  acid,  formic  acid,  ammonia 
&c.,  is  obtained  from  the  fens  lying 
beyond  the  pavilion  park,  and  is  at 
least  equal  in  medicinal  value  to  those 
of  Franzensbad  and  Marienbad. 

After  being  dug  out,  it  is  laid  in 
sheds  to  be  weathered.  Thence  it  is 
carried  to  th^  Moorbadehaus,  dried 
in  lofts,  and  afterwards  ground  in 
a  mill.  Having  been  sifted,  it  is  dis- 
tributed for  use  to  the  various  bathing 
establishments. 

The  principal  street  in  Pyrmont  is 
Brunnen  St.  Here  are  situated  the 
G.  Post  Office  as  well  as  most  of  the 
Hotels  and  large  houses  of  business. 
It  is  a  fine  promenade  lined  on  the 
one  side  with  lime-trees  and  on  the 
other  with  oaks.  Its  western  end  is 
occupied  by  the  "Brunnen":  while, 
looking  southwards,  we  catch  a 
glimpse  of  the  Muhlenberg  Hills. 
From  the  Brunnen,  a  continuation  of 
the  street,   named  Bassin  St.»  leads 


past  the  Helenenquelle  and  the  play- 
grounds along  the  southern  side 
of  the  pavilion  park.  A  few  paces 
to  the  N.  E.  of  Brunnen  PI.  is 
the  New  Stadtkirche,  a  handsome 
Gothic  building  in  which,  during 
the  season,  English  services  are 
held.  Returning  through  the  same 
street,  across  Brunnen  PI.,  we 
pass,  on  our  left  hand,  Altenau 
PL,  beautifully  laid -out  and  de- 
corated with  a  vase  modelled  by 
Prof,  Drake  and  presented  by 
him  to  the  town.  A  few  steps 
beyond,  and  on  the  same  side 
of  the  way,  is  Kaiser  PU  em- 
bellished with  Volcke*s  monu- 
ment to  the  Franco -Prussian  War. 
At  the  end  of  the  street  there  is  a 
fountain,  whence  we  can  return 
through  the  magnificent  avenue 
termed  the  Haupt  Allee,  whose 
mighty  lindens,  2CX)  years  old, 
intertwine  their  branches  over- 
head like  the  archings  of  a  church- 
aisle.  In  the  avenue  is  situated  the 
Theatre  which,  though  its  exterior 
is  somewhat  old  in  appearance,  has  a 
comfortable,  modem  auditorium. 
Close  by  is  the  handsome 
New  Pavilion  (Kurhaus).  The  main 
building  consists  of  two  stories,  the 
upper  one  containing  the  large  ball- 
room and  concert-room,  with  elegant 
side-apartments.  In  one  of  the  wings 
is  the  magnificent  dining-room;  u'  "

the  remainder  of  the  building  is

and  kitchen  are  under  the  able 
management  of  Mr.  F.  G&nger,  for-

The  roofs  of  both  wings  are  laid- 
out  as  terraces  with  hanging  gardens. 
From  the  western  wing,  one  obtains 
a  beautiful  view  across  the  park 
to  the  Goldfish  Pond^  surround- 
ed by  numerous  copper  beeches. 
Looking  southwards,  we  see  the 
white  walls  of  the  Lugdc  Cloisters; 
while  immediately  across  the  park 
rises  the 

Schloss,  surrounded  by  ramparts 
and  an  unusually  broad  moat  This 
building  contains  a  number  of  pictures 
by  Fischbein  which,  together  with  a 
few  other  objects  of  interest,  may 
be  inspected  by  the  public.  The 
ramparts,  too,  are  worth  seeing,  if 
only  for  the  sake  of  an  enormous 
lime-tree,  whose  trunk  measures  over 
16  feet  in  circumference,  while  the 
foliage  droops  to  the  earth  all  round, 
and  forms  a  charming  arbour.

This  ancient  and  formerly  Hanseatic 
city  is  the  capital  of  Westphalia. 

The  Cathedral  dates  from  the  13th 
cent,  and  contains,  in  the  southern 
vestibule,  sculptures  of  Christ  and 
the  Apostles.  Most  of  the  old  deco- 
rations were  destroyed  by  the  Ana- 
baptists ;  but  there  are  a  marble  group 
by  Achtermann,  a  14th  cent,  painting 
above  the  north  porch  and  a  relief 
over  the  southern  one.  Opposite  the 
Cathedral  is  the  Stadthaus,  containing 
statues  of  Hermann  (see  Osnabriick), 
and  others.  Not  far  from  this  building 
is  the  beautiful  Ludgerus  Brunnen 
In  the  Dom  PL  stands  also  the  Uni- 
versiiy.  Behind  it  is  the  ancient 
Jesuit  College  where,  in  the  Pauline 
Library,  are  some  interesting  portraits, 
including  one  of  John  Leyden,  the 
Anabaptist.  On  the  Haupt  Markt 
rises  the  Rafkaus,  a  fine  edifice  with 
a  handsome  Gothic  gable.  The  most 
interesting  room  in  the  building  is 
the  Friedensaal,  where  the  Peace 
of  Westphalia  was  signed  in  1648. 


Adjacent  to  the  Rathaus  is  the  old 
Weigh  House:  while,  on  the  other 
side,  stands  the  Stadikeller,  both  build- 
ings being  in  Renaissance  style,  and 
the  latter  containing  some  Italian  and 
German  pictures  of  an  early  period. 
At  the  N.  end  of  Haupt  Markt  rises 
St.  Lambert  *s  Church,  in  elegant 
1 4  th  cent.  Gothic. 

A  little  to  the  N.W.  of  Dom  PI. 
and  just  across  the  river,  is  the 
Church  of  Our  Lady,  another  fine 
Gothic  building  of  the  14  th  cent. 
The  choir  possesses  some  fine  stained- 
glass;  while,  beneath  the  organ-loft, 
are  two  pictures  by  Ludger  torn  Ring, 
one  of  the  best  representatives  of 
the  Miinster  school. 

St.Aegidius  and  the  Ludgerikirche 
are  two  churches,  in  the  S.  of  the  town, 
which  are  well  worth  seeing;  while 
close  to  the  western  ramparts  stands 
the  abbey  Church  of  St.  Maurice, 
In  the  N.  of  the  city  is  the  Church 
of  St,  Martin,  commenced  in  the 
1 2  th  cent.,  and  completed  at  the 
close  of  the  14th.  The  W.  side 
of  the  town  is  still  surrounded  by 
the  moat,  which  completely  shuts  in 
the  Schloss-Garten,  At  the  entrance 
to  the  garden  stands  the  Schloss 
itself.  Once  the  Episcopal  Palace, 
it  is  adorned  with  allegorical  sculp- 
tures, and  contains,  in  the  chapel^ 
an  altarpiece  by  Fischbein.  Behind 
it,  in  the  Schloss  grounds,  is  the 
Botanical  Garden;  while  outside 
the  grounds  and  a  little  to  the  S. 
of  Abschnitt  Thor,  is  the  Zoological 
Garden.

OBYNHAUSEN  is  a  favourite  bath 
founded  in  1846.  It  lies  in  a  beautiful 
spot  on  the  Werra,  between  the  Weser 
Mountains  and  the  heigbts  of  Teuto- 
burger  forest,  and,  beine  surrounded 
by  fine  woods^  enjoys  a  nealthy  and 
invigorating  climate. 

The    spa    possesses    four    thermal 

and    two    ordinary   springs;     but    it 

is    chiefly    to    the    former    that    the 

[     h    owes    its   fame    as    a    health- 

1      >rt.    The  waters,    which   possess 

i      atural   temperature   ranging  from 

C.    to    34*5^  C,    contain    some 

various  salts,  and  are  surcharged 

i  carbonic  acid. 

The    value     of    this    gas    in    the 

itment    of   nervous    debility    and 

ired    complaints    is    well    known. 

nother  advantage  of   the   Oeyn* 


hausen  springs  is  their  variety.  This 
is  so  great  that  it  enables  physicians 
to  obtain  by  mixture,  baths  of  any 
required  strength  and  to  adapt  the 
treatment  to  the  peculiarities  of  the 
patient^s  constitution. 

One  of  the  springs,  the  Borloclh 
soole,  rises  unmixed,  and  contains 
90/q  of  common  salt:  the  other,  the 
Schachtsoole ,  is  mingled  near  the 
head  of  the  shaft  with  fresh  water 
and  thus  reduced  in  strength  to  3% 
of  salt. 

By  combining  these  two,  any  de- 
sired proportion  of  salt  may  be 
obtained  in  the  bath. 

The  high  percentage  of  common 
salt  in  the  Borloch  Spring  is  one 
of  the  great  characteristics  of  Oeyn- 
hausen,  and  the  variety  of  the 
springs  adapts  the  spa  for  the 
treatment  of  diseases  of  the  most 
manifold  character. 

The  principal  edifices  in  Oeyn- 
hausen  are  naturally  the  Pavilion 
and  the  Bath  Houses.  The  former, 
besides  its  theatre  and  covered 
colonnade,  possesses  reading,  music, 
drawing  and  dining  rooms.  Beau- 
tiful grounds,  120  acres  in  extent, 
surround  the  building,  and  form  the 
chief  resort  of  visitors.

This  old  place  is  the  chief  town 
in  Westphalia.  It  is  purely  industrial, 
most  of  the  inhabitants  being  engaged 
in  the  metal  foundries,  or  in  the  large 
and  celebrated  breweries.  There  are, 
however,  a  few  buil-dings  of  interest, 
such  as  the  Church  of  SU  Reinold,

Other  old  churches  are  SL  Pcter\

and  the  Roman  Catholic  Church, 
near  the  Markt  PI.  The  old  Rathaus 
also  stands  here:  having  fallen  into 
a  somewhat  ruinous  state,  it  was 
tastefully  restored  in  1899,  and  now 
forms  one  of  the  most  interesting 
sights  of  the  town.  At  Hoherwall 
is  the  monument  to  the  war  of  1870. 

In  the  middle  -  agea,  when  Dortmund 
was  a  free  and  Hanse  town,  its  com- 
meroial  importance  was  much  greater 
than  at  the  present  day;  bat,  since  the 
reunion  of  the  German  states,  it  has 
been  rapidlv  returning  to  its  old  posi- 
tion, one  of  the  leading  firms  being  that 
of  the  engineering  concern  "DortmuQder 
Union",  whose  works  deserve  inspection. 
Donbtless,  as  the  centre  of  a  large  mining 
district,  Dortmund  is  destined  to  take 
even  a  higher  place  among  German 
manufacmring  towns  than  it  at  present 
holds.  Till  recently,  all  its  prodacts 
had  to  be  despatched  by  rail,  and  all 
its  supplies  obtained  in  like  manner.  Bat, 
in  Ang.  1899,  a  canal,  connecting  it  with 
the  Ems  and  the  Rhine,  was  opened 
which  has  already  began  to  work  its 
baneficial  effects,  raw  material  and  food 
supplies  being  brought  from  the  North 
Sea  and  from  Holland,  while  the  pro- 
ducts of  the  town  now  leave  for  all  parts 
of  the  world  by  the  same  routes.

to  have  been  founded  in  the  1 2th  cent, 
by  the  Counts  of  Berg,  who,  by  intro-

to  the  Solingen  swords  a  world-wide 
celebrity.  The  cutlery  has  retained  its 
renown  to  the  present  day,  and  the

factories,  ten  of  which  are  engaged  in 
the  manufacture  of  swords  and  give 
employment  to  about  1,500  work-

This  important  manufacturing  town 
is  the  centre  of  the  largest  coal-mining 
district  in  Germany.  The  plentiful 
supply  of  coal  has  called  into  existence 
an  extensive  iron  industry,  which  is 
rapidly  increasing.  The  most  cele- 
brated works  in  the  town  are  those 
of  Krupp,  whose  gun  factory  is  too 
well-known  to  call  for  comment 

A  statue  of  Alfred  Krupp,  by 
Schaper,  was  erected  in  1889,  in 
front  of  the  handsome  Rathaus.  The 
Minster  is  a  very  old  building  dating 
from  the  ll^i  cent.  In  the  interior, 
there  are  an  altar  •  piece  and  a  10th 
cent  candelabra ,  which  are  both 
worth  seeing.  The  treasury  contains 
a  number  of  productions  also  of  the 
10th  cent:  while  to  the  N.  of  the 
building  are  situated  the  beautiful 
cloisters.

DOSSELDORF  is  an  important 
town  situated  on  the  right  bank 
of  the  Rhine  and  possessing  a  con- 
siderable number  of  large  industrial 
concerns.  But  it  is  principally  cele- 
brated for  its  School  of  Art,  and 
disputes  with  Cassel  the  third  place 
among  the  art  centres  of  Germany. 
The  Picture  Gallery  was  founded 
by  the  Elector  John  William  at 
the  opening  of  the  18th  century; 
while  the  Academy  was  established 
by  Charles  Theodore  in  1767.  This 
latter  association  possesses  a  fine 
Renaissance  building  near  the  Rhine 
Bridge  and   facing   the  Hofgarten; 


it  contains  a  large  number  of 
school  -  rooms,  studios  &c.  Among 
its  treasures  are  some  casts  and  a 
considerable  number  of  paintings, 
drawings  and  copper-plates:  the  great 
Hall  is  decorated  with  a  fine  series 
of  frescoes  by  Peter  Jansseu,  the 
president.  In  Men  Lagerhaus,  close 
by,  there  is  a  Historical  Museum 
with  collections  of  Roman  and 
Prankish  antiquities.  The  bridge 
beyond  it,  with  its  two  enormous 
arches  and  gigantic  lion ,  is  also 
worth  seeing.  Passing  southwards, 
along  the  bank  of  the  Rhine,  a  few 
paces  bring  us  to  the  Church  of 
St,  Albert  with  a  tower  partly  Ro- 
manesque, partly  Gothic.  The  latter 
style  is  also  that  of  the  main  building, 
which  was  erected  towards  the  close 
of  the  14th  cent.,  and  contains  marble 
tombs  of  Dukes  William  V.  and  John 
William  III.  of  Cleves  &c. 

A  short  distance  further,  across 
Burg  PI.,  we  reach  the  Old  Rat- 
haus,  a  16th  century  building.  The 
Markt  PU  is  decorated  with  a 
pewter  statue  of  the  Elector  John 
William,  cast  by  Gruppello  in  1711. 
Through  Muhlen  St  eastwards 
rises  the 

Church  of  St,  Andrew,  a  building 
erected  in  1629  and  containing  an 
altar  -  piece  by  Deger  and  some 
interesting  tombs.  Beyond  it,  at 
Friedrich's  PI.,  is  situated  the 

Kunsthalle,  containing  the  per- 
manent exhibition  and  the  town  col- 
lection of  paintings  of  the  modern 
Diisseldorf  School.  The  most  strik- 
ing pictures  are  those  by  the  two 
Achenbachs,  Cornelius,  Camphausen, 
Lenbach,  Janssen  &c.  In  front  of 
the  building,  there  is  a  bronze  statue 
of  Bismarck  by  Bauer  and  Rdttger. 
Opposite  the  Kunsthalle  are  statues 
of  the  Emperor  William  I.  and 
Count  Molike,  Close  by  is  the 
Museum  of  Industrial  Art  with  col- 
lections of  textile  fabrics,  laces,  em- 
broidery, porcelain,  wood-carvings  &c.: 
there    are    also    rooms    representing 


n 


various  countries  and  epochs,  and 
collections  of  Japanese  and  Hindoo 
productions. 

Across  Allee  St  stands  the  Theatre, 
and  behind  it,  in  Hof  Garten,  a 
monument  to  the  Franco  -  Prussian 
War,  which  is  among  the  best  of 
its  kind.  Southwards  from  here  is 
a  monument  to  the  celebrated  artist 
Cornelius:  it  is  a  bronze  group 
by  Donndorf  with  allegorical  figures 
of  poetry,  religion  &c. 

Cornelius  is  the  greatest  painter 
Diisseldorf  has  produced;  he  was  born 
in  1783  at  15  Kurze  St  Perhaps 
the  other  most  celebrated  native  of 
the  town  is  Heinrich  Heine,  bom 
at  53  Bolker  St.  in  1799.

MtliHEIM  (POP. I  50,000.  —  HOT.:

is  an  ancient  place,  formerly  fortified, 
and  containing  a  magnificent  new

Some  few  years  since,  the  town 
was  incorporated  with  Cologne. 
Like  r4her  suburbs  of  the  city,  it 
possesses  a  considerable  number  of 
machine  factories  and  similar  con- 
cerns, which  render  it  interesting  to 
the  teUmical  world. 

THE  RHINE. 

This  beautiful  and  wonderful  river, 
parent   of   much    contention    an' 
many   songs,    has  its  source  ir 
Gothard:  thence  it  flows  through  j 
Constance    and    between   the   S* 
mountains,  becomes  the  boundarj

lie  between  Mayence  and  Cologne: 
this  part  of  it  is  traversed  by  the 
steamers  of  the  "Rhein  Dampfschiff- 
fahrt  Gesellschaft",  The  trip  is  most 
commonly  taken  on  the  return  journey 
from  Switzerland  in  order  to  save 
time;  but  those  who  travel  upstream 
have,  perhaps,  a  better  opportunity 
of  enjoying  the  varied  and  romantic 
scenery  which  comes  into  view  at 
every  turn  in  the  river.  In  the 
guide,  the  upstream  route  has  been 
foUowedi  since  so  many  Americans 
arriving  at  Hamburg  travel,  lirst  to 
Berlin  and  thence  via  Magdeburg,  the 
Harz  Mts.  and  Hanover  to  Cologne. 
From  here,  the  steamer  may  be  taken 
to  Mayence,  the  journey  being  broken 
at  any  of  the  various  stopping- places. 
The  guide  will,  however,   be  found 


just  as  useful  for  those  who  prefer 
to  do  Switzerland  first  and  the 
Rhine  afterwards;  as,  the  order  of 
the  towns  being  merely  reversed, 
one  has  only  to  turn  to  the  end 
of  the  section,  "The  Rhine",  and 
then  work  backwards.

~  COLOGNE.  — 


HOTEL  DU  NORD. 

First-class  house  patronised  by  royalty. 


to  find  his  way  about  Cologne,  and, 
consequently,  we  would  recommend 
the  following  route  as  enabling 
the  sight-seer  to  do  as  much  as 
possible  with  the  smallest  expendi- 
ture of  time. 

Starting  from  the  Central  Station, 
the  Cathedral  comes  first,  thence 
across  Domhof  and  westwards 
through  Unter  Goldschmidt  past 
the  Moltke  Monument,  Here,  we 
turn  to  the  left,  and,  in  a  few  paces, 
reach  the  porch  of  the  Rathaus; 
thence,  to  the  left,  through  Burger  St, 
to  Alien  Markt,  where  the  back 
of  the  Rathaus  and  the  monument 
to  Jan  van  Werth  may  be  viewed. 
Through  Unter  Kdsten  to  Heu- 
markt  (monument  to  Frederick 
William  III.),  through  Bolzen  Gasse 


to  GUrzeffich.  From  here,  past  the 
Colosseum  to  Casino  PI.  {Bismarck 
Monument),  If  time  permit,  a  visit 
should  be  paid  to  the  Church  of 
Maria  im  Capitol,  close  by.  From 
Bismarck  Monument,  along  Hohe  St, 
as  far  as  Wallrafs  PI.,  where 
the  Wallraf-RichartZ' Museum  is 
situated.  Thence  through  Rohren 
Gasse  to  the  Palace  of  Justice,  and 
across  Katenhug  to  Unter^Sachsen- 
hausen  (Palais  Oppenheim,  A.  Schaaff- 
hausen*scher  Bankverein,  the  New 
Imperial  Bank  and  the  General 
Post  Office). 

In  the  centre  of  :he  city  almost 
the  only  means  of  ^'xiimunication 
is  the  cab,  the  streets  scarcely  per- 
mitting the  passage  of  other  vehicles; 
but  the  Ring  Tramway  is  very  useful 


in  visiting  the  splendid  buildings  of 
the  *Neustadt*;  and  those  who  have 
time  should  make  the  whole  Journey 
round  the  town  in  this  way.  Horse- 
cars  also  run  to  the  various  suburbs, 
and  alongside  the  Rhine  to  the  Zoolo- 
gical Gardens  and  Flora  Garden. 
One  of  the  cars  runs  to  Nippes  and 
the  City  'VolksgarUn'. 

The  Cathedral  is  considered  to  be 
the  crown  of  Gothic  architecture:— 
its  grand  proportions,  innumerable 
turrets,  and  delicate  tracery  produce 
an  effect  upon  the  beholder  at 
once  imposing  and  overawing.  The 
building  was  begun  in  1248,  on 
the  spot  where  its  predecessor  had 
stood.  Master  Gerard  is  the  man 
whose  spirit  breathes  through  the 
design^  though  the  actual  build- 
ing,   hindered    by   disputes    between 


the  Archbishops  and  the  dty, 
progressed  but  slowly  under  him 
and  his  son  John.  Continued  with 
ardour  through  just  two  centuriest 
the  work  then  began  to  slacken. 
Indeed  by  the  end  of  the  18  th  cent 
the  ediUce  was  falling  to  ruin  and 
was  used  by  the  French  as  a 
bam.  But  Frederick  William .  IIL 
of  Prussia  Issued  an  order  for  its 
restoration,  and  the  work  of  com- 
pletion was  carried  on  apace; 
so  that,  by  1880,  the  perfected 
edifice  was  solemnly  opened  in  the 
presence  of  the  Emperor  William  L 
and  the  other  assembled  German 
princes. 

The  building  is  cruciform,  with  a 
nave  and  double  aisles.  Its  finest 
parts  are  the  main  porch  (100  feet 
high)-    and     the    western     fa9ade,

rising,  lofty  and  clear,  in  lines  that 
renew  themselves  to  the  very  top- 
most turrets: —  the  poKh  of  the 
tower,  decorated  with  sculpturing 
of  the  15  th  cent.,  is  also  very 
beautiful.  The  choir  is  surrounded 
with  seven  chapels  and  is  the  oldest 
part  of  the  building. 

The  interior  is  majestic  in  its 
simplicity,  the  eye  almost  losing 
itself  in  the  endeavour  to  follow 
the  lofty  pillars  that  branch  away 
into  the  vaulting  of  the  roof  above. 
But  the  severity  of  the  stone -work 
is  modified  by  the  rich  colouring 
of  the  stained  -  glass.  The  finest 
windows  are  those  of  the  N.  aisle 
which  date  back  to  the  beginning 
of  the  16  th  cent.  The  choir  and 
treasury,  for  which  tickets  must  be 
obtained  (1.60  mk.),  are  very  inter- 
esting.   In  the  former  will  be  found 


240 


some  excellent  wood -carving  of  the 
15th  century,  some  beautiful  old 
stained-glass,  and  a  number  of  statues 
and  frescoes ;  while  the  treasury 
possesses  two  valuable  old  reli- 
quaries, one  of  gold  and  one  of 
silver,  and  respectively  of  Ro- 
manesque (1200)  and  of  Renaissance 
workmanship:  other  treasures  are 
a  Romanesque  cross,  a  sword  of 
justice  &c. 

The    Drei    Konigen    Kapelle    is 
said  to  be  the  resting-place  of  the 
three  Kings  (?)  who  came  to  worF**'" 
the  child  Jesus,    their  remains   1

tains    the    so-called    Domhild, 
finest   painting   of  the   old  Cole 
school    and    mentioned     by    ^ 


in  his  diary:  the  other  Chapels  con- 
tain similar  works  of  art,  which  should 
be  examined  if  time  permit. 

The  statue  of  Count  Moltke  on 
Laurenz  PI.  is  by  Schaper. 

The  Raihaus  is  an  interesting  build- 
ing begun  in  the  Mth  cent.,  but  with 
extensive  additions  made  at  later  pe- 
riods. It  contains  a  beautiful  Renais- 
sance hall  and  a  fine  Hansa  Saal  with 
many  ancient  portraits  and  some  ex- 
cellent black  oak,  brought  to  light  a 
few  years  since  during  some  resto- 
rations. At  the  back  of  the  building 
is  a  fountain  with  a  statue  of  Jan 
van  Werth,  the  general  who  played 
an  important  part  in  the  Thirty  Year's 
War,  and  whose  unrequited  love  for 
a  damsel  of  Cologne  is  represented  in 
the  reliefs. 

The  colossal  statue  of  Frederick 
William  III.  of  Prussia  was  erected  in 


1878:  it  is  surrounded  with  repre- 
sentations of  Prussian  statesmen, 
soldiers  etc.  such  as  Hardenberg, 
Blizcher,  York,  Beuth,  Gneisenau,  the 
Humboldts  and  many  others. 

The  Gurzenich  is  a  15th  cent,  build- 
ing erected  at  enormous  expense  by 
the  town  council  to  ferve  as  a  ball- 
room and  for  the  giving  of  grand 
municipal  festivities.  The  exterior  is 
unimportant;  but  the  interior  contains 
some  beautiful  stained-glass  and,  pos- 
sessing excellent  acoustic  properties,  is 
now  used  principally  as  a  concert-room. 

The  bronze  statue  of  Bismarck  at 
Augustiner  PI.  was  erected  in  1879 
from  Schaper's  designs. 

The  Ch.  of  St,  Maria  im  Capitol  is 
a  cruciform  Romanesque  basilica,  and, 
next  to  the  cathedral,  the  finest  ecclesi- 
astical building  in  the  city.  •  It  dates 
from  the  early  half  of  the  llt^h  cent.,

The  City  Museum,  erected  some  45 
yearssince,  at  a  cost  of  17 5, 000 dollars, 
is  called  also  the  Walraf  Richartz  Mu- 
seum, Herr  Walraf  having  bequeathed 
the  nucleus  of  the  collections,  and 
Herr  Richartz  having  provided  the 
means  for  the  building  of  the  edifice. 

From  March  to  October,  the  place 
is  open  on  weekdays  from  9-4  o'clock, 
Sun.  and  FesL  9-1  and  3-5;  from 
Nov.  till  Febr.  on  weekdays  from  10-3, 
Sun.  and  Fest.  10-1  and  3-4.  The 
ground-floor  contains  collections  of 
antiquities,  both  Roman  and  mediaeval. 
The  stair-case  is  decorated  with  fres- 
coes by  Steinle  illustrating  the  history 
of  art.  and  civilisation.  The  upper 
storey  contains  the  picture  gallery, 
which  is  divided  into  the  Italian  school 
(also  containing  the  recently  acquired 
Murillo),  the  old  Cologne  school  (very 


extensive),  the  Dutch  and  Flemish 
schools  (Rubens,  Jan  Steen,  Jordaens, 
Cuyp&c.)and  the  modern  school  (most' 
ly  German  artists,  e,  g,  A.  v.  Werner, 
Lenbach,  Leasing,  Achenbach  &c.). 
The  Palace  of  Justice,  at  Apellhof 
PI.,  is  a  fine  modern  building  with  a 
handsome  front.  Close  by  are  the 
Armory,  the  Government  Offices  and 
the  Romer  Thurm ;  while  the  street 
opposite  the  N.  fa9ade  of  the  Law 
Courts,  and  called  Katenbug,  leads  to 
LJnter  Sachsenhausen,  where  we  turn 
to  the  right,  and,  in  a  few  paces,  reach 
the  Imperial  Bank,  a  new  sand-stone 
building  in  early-Gothic  style  and  op- 
posite which  is  the  General  Post  Of- 
fice, a  magnificent  structure  likewise 
in  early-Gothic  and  containing  statues 
of  Stephan,  the  late  postmaster-general, 
and  of  Freiherr  von  Thurn  the  father 
of  the  German  Post.  Opposite  the

portant and  interesting  buildings,  the 
following  should,  if  time  allow,  be 
visited,  namely,  St.  Martin's  le  Grand, 
between  Alten  Markt  and  the  Rhine, 
the  Tempelhaus,  a  beautiful  Roman- 
esque building  at  8  Rhein  Gasse,  St 
Andreaskirche,  near  the  Post  Office, 
the  Jesuitenkirche,  in  Marzellen  St., 
StGereon's  Church,  at  the  northern  end 
of  Gereon  St.,  with  the  City  Library 
hard  by,  and  St.Severin's  Church,  near 
the  end  of  the  fine  street  of  the  same 
name.  This  street  is  closed  by  a  beau- 
tiful gate-way,  a  remnant  of  the  me- 
diaeval fortifications.  From  here, passing 
through  the  Karthauserwall,  we  come 
to  the  Ulrepforte,  an  old  round-tower, 
beyond  which  a  portion  of  the  ancient 
city  wall  still  stands.  Close  by  is  the 
Ulredenkmal,  a   14 th  century  relief 


commemorating  the  victory  of  the 
municipal  party  over  the  soldiers  of 
Archbishop  Engelbert. 

From  here,  passing  along  the  Ring 
to  the  western  part  of  the  town,  we 
come  to  the  Hahnenthor,  the  third 
of  the  old  gate- ways. 

Still  further  round  the  Ring  is  a 
monumental  fountain  to  the  Emperor 
William  I.,  and,  seme  distance  beyond 
it,  \hQ  Museum  of  Industrial  Art,  an 
edifice  containing  bronzes,  glasses, 
book-bindings  &c.  from  the  12th  cent 
downwards.  Near  the  eastern  end  of 
the  Ring  is  Eigelsteinihor ;  while  east- 
ward of  Hahnenthor,  mentioned  above, 
and  almost  in  the  very  centre  of  the 
city,  lies  the  Neumarkt.  Here,  at  the 
corner  of  Richmod  St.,  is  the  house 
of  Richmodis  von  Aducht,  who,  being 
informed  that  his  wife  had  awaked  from 
a  trance,  replied  that  he  would  sooner 
believe  his  horses  had  climbed  to  the

In  the  Deutscher  Ring  a  handsome 
monument  to  the  late  much -beloved 
Emperor  Frederick  IIL  was  unveiled 
on  the  ist  ©f  October  1903. 

Another  very  fine  statue  was  also 
erected  in  the  same  year  in  Kaiser 
Wilhelm  Ring,  being  a  monument  to  the 
Empress  Augusta,  consort  of  William  I. 
Close  to  the  S.  Ufer  St.  there  is  a 
grand  Bismarck  Turm,  which  is 
worth  seeing.

is  an  induatrial  town  whose  history 
dates  bnok  to  Roman  times.  It  contains 
several  interesting  baildings,  the  most 
important  of  which  are:- 

The  Church  of  St.  Qnlrlavs,  one  of 
the  finest  examples  of  the  Transitional 
style.  The  e<iifice,  which  was  com- 
menced early  in  the  13t>a  cent,  consists 
of  a  nav«  and  two  aisles  with  towers 
and  transept.  The  crypt  is  extensive 
and  is  considerably  older  than  the  rest 
of  the  strnctnre. 

The  Bathaas,  in  its  present  form, 
was  erected  at  the~  close  of  the  18th 
centnry,  and  contains  some  noteworthy 
pictures  by  Janssen. 

Finalljr,  a  collection  of  Romnn  anti- 
quities will  be  found  in  the  Oberthor,

CLE  VES,a  favourite  bath  of  the  Dutch, 
is  situated  on  a  charming  wooded  ele- 
vation close  to  the  Bhine.  Its  springa 
are  chalybeate  and  very  efficacious  in 
the  treatment  of  nervous  complaints. 

The  town  was  once  the  capital 
of  a  duchy  of  the  same  name,  and 
still  contains  the  old  Ducal  Casilc 
commonly  called  the  Schwanenhurg, 
interesting  to  Englishmen  as  being 
the  palace  in  which  Anne,  daughter 
of  the  Duke  of  Cleves  and  wife  of 
Henry  VIII.,  was  born.  The  building 
has  now  been  converted  into  law- 
courts  and  prison.  The  arcade  of  the 
court*yard  contains  an  old  Romaa 
altar;  while,  from  the  terrace  and 
the  Schwanenthurm  (1439),  extensive 
views  of  the  lower  Rhine  are  obtained.

magnificent  brick -building  in  Gothic 
style,  erected  in  the  H^h  cent,  and 
containing  some  interesting  tombs 
of  the  Counts  and  Dukes  of  Cleves. 
The  only  other  building  of  interest  is 
the  Prinzenhof,  built  by  Maurice  of 
Orange-Siegcn  in  1664.  To  the  W. 
of  ihe  town  lies  the  Tiergarten,  a 
charming  park,  southwards  of  which, 
on  Cleves  Hill  (1,000  feet),  stands-

A(X-LA-GHAPELLE  (or  German: 
Aaahen)  lies  in  a  lovely  and  fertile  valley 
snrrouDded  by  wooded  heit^hts.  In 
forcner  times  and  especially  in  the  days 
of  Ciiari^ma^np,  it  was  one  of  the  lead- 
ing' oitjes  m  Kurope.  But  its  former 
impurtaT^ca  is  eow  represented  only  by 
a  luw  striking  buildings,  among  which 
the  tin  est  ia  tb^ 

Minster,  standing  in  the  centre  of 
the  cily.  The  body  of  the  edifice  is  an 
octagon  in  Byzantine  style  surmounted 
by  a  cupola.  The  interior,  which  is 
borno  upon  eight  enormous  pillars, 
con^nins  a  fine  mosaic  and  a  gilded 
candolabra  over  13  feet  in  diameter: 
beneath  it  is  the  grave  of  Charlemagne, 
mtirked  wiih  the  words  Carolo  Magno. 


In  the  so-called  Hungarian  Chapel  wMI 
be  found  the  treasury,  which  is  very 
rich  in  old  pictures,  statues,  reliefs, 
precious  stones  &c.  The  choir  is  tight 
and  airy,  and  contains  some  modem 
stained-glass  and  16th  cent,  carving. 

The  Rathau8  (1353—1370)  is  an 
interesting  Gothic  building  close  by  the 
Minster:  the  stair-case  and  the  Kaiser- 
saal,  to  which  it  leads,  are  very  fine,  the 
latter  being  decorated  with  a  series  of 
excellent  modern  frescoes:  the  Sessions 
Room  is  worth  visiting  for  its  17  por- 
traits of  emperors  and  popes,  among 
them,  one  of  the  present  Emperor  by 
Anton  von  Werner.  The  two  handsome 
towers  which  flank  it  were  erected 
from  designs  by  Prof.Frentzen  in  1902 
to  replace  the  13^^  cent,  structures 
destroyed  by  fire  in  1883. 

The  Knrhansy  bnilt  in  1782,  contains  a 
ball-room,  concert- room  &c^t  the  back  is 
the  Kursaal  in  Moresque  style:  it  faces  to- 
wards the  Kurgarten;  and  in  it  weekly 
concerts  take  place.  The  Elisenbrnnnen 
is  in  a  Doric  hall  at  Wilbelm*s  Pi. 

Other  buildings  of  note  are  the  Teeta- 
nieal  High  School,  St.  Peter's  Church, 
8t«  Albert's  Chareta,  the  Synagogue  and 
the  Saermondt  Maseam.  The  last  con- 
tains the  collection  of  pictures  presented 
by  the  founder,  from  whom  the  gallery 
takes  its  name.  As  is  natural,  the  bulk 
of  the  paintings  belong  to  the  Dutch  and 
Klemish  schools,  but  there  are  also  spe- 
cimens of  Constable,  Kranach  &  Muriilo. 

A  aiburb  of  Aix,  named

BONN  is  a  famous  university  city 
beautifully  situated  on  the  left  bank  of 
the  Rhine,  here  spanned  by  a  fine  bridge 
erected  in  1898.  It  contains  several  inter- 
esting buildings^  of  which  the  following 
are    the  most  important,   namely:— 

The  MinsUr,  a  magnificent  structure 
standing  almost  in  the  centre  of  the 
city.  The  edifice  is  one  of  the  finest  spe* 
dmens  of  late -Romanesque  architec- 
ture extant,  and  has,  besides  its  four 
turrets,  a  tower  over  300  ft.  in  height. 
The  interior  contains  several  interesting 
statues,  reliefs  and  mosaics;  while  the 
crypt  (1 1th  cent)  is  also  worth  seeing.

BAD  NEUENAHR,  though  probably 
known  to  the  ancients,  did  not  come 
into  vogue  as  a  modern  health-resort 
until  after  1867.  Since  that  date,  its 
charming  situation  in  one  of  the 
loveliest  lateral  valleys  of  the  Rhine, 
its  excellent  thermal  spring  and  the 
care  which  has  been  bestowed  by  the 
Baths  Committee  on  the  arrange- 
ments of  the  place  have  caused  it  to 
rise  rapidly  in  popularity. 

The  great  attraction  of  the  spa 
lies  in  its  wonderful  springs,  of  which 
the  'Grosse  Sprudel'  is  thermal.  Its 
waters,  though  similar  to  those  of 
Carlsbad  and  other  warm  spas,  are 
considerably  milder  in  character  and 
consequently  much  easier  of  assi- 
milation. 

Their  effect  upon  the  system  is 
cleansing  and  stimulating,  both  as 
baths  and  as  beverages.  The  prin- 
cipal complaints  treated  are:—  catarrh 
of  the  respiratory  organs,  tubercu- 
losis, pleurisy,  catarrh  of  the  digestive 
organs  and  bladder,  stone,  inflamma- 
tion of  the  kidneys,  diabetes,  gout, 
Theumatism  &c. 

Besides  the  waters,  all  kinds  of 
baths  are  to  be  had  at  Neuennhr, 
together  with  inhalation,  massage, 
Sv/edish  gymnastics  &c. 

Moreover,  here  is  situated  the 
Spring  where  the  world  -  famous 
APOLLINARIS  WATER  is  bottled. 
It  is  sent  down  the  Rhine  to  Antwerp, 
Rotterdam,  London,  America,  and,  in 
fact,  to  all  parts  of  the  world. 

The  Spring  was  discovered  in 
1851;  and  the  quantities  of  bottles 
sold,  which  were:  —  8,000,000  in 
1880,  18,000,000  in  1890,  now 
exceed  30,000,000  bottles. 

Some  short  distance  further  up  the 
alley  lies 

AHRWEILER  (HOTELS:.  8terii$ 
•rei  Eroaen.  —  POP.:  4,700),  an  inter- 
esting old  town  which,  though  burnt 
down  by  the  French  during  the 
troubles  of  the  1 7th  cent.,  has  retained 
its  ancient  walls  and  gates.  It  is  the 
principal  market  ^for  Red  Ahr  Wines, 


WALPOBZHHM  ties  3  miles  beyond 
Neuenahr,  in  the  middle  of  the  Ahr 
Valley  just  where  it  begins  to  narrow 
into  a  ravine.  The  place  is  celebrated 
for  its  excellent  wines,  the  restaurant 
of  S/.  Peter  being  one  of  the  best 
houses  at  which  to  obtain  samples. 
The  excursions  in  the  neighbourhood 
are  very  beautiful:  one  of  the  most 
charming  is  to  the  "Bunten  Kuh" 
where  a  beetling  crag  200  ft.  in  height 
affords  a  good  view.  From  Walporz- 
heim  onwards,  past  Demau,  with  the 
ruins  of  Schaffenburg ,  the  valley 
grows    narrower    and    narrower    till 

we  reach 

▲  liTEBTAHB  (HOTBLS:   Caipaxll 

Bbeialaeher  Hoi),  a  charming  hamlet 
and  pejhaps  the  pearl  of  the  whole 
valley.  Its  finest  points  of  view  are 
Henlei  and  the  bridge  across  the 
river.  Above  the  town  are  the  ruins 
of  Altenahr  Castle,  perched  upon  a  high 
and  rugged  crag.  The  spot  affords 
a  good  view;  but  those  obtained  . 
from  Weissen  Kreuz  and  from 
Schwarzen  Kreuz,  respectively  north- 
wards and  southwards  of  the  castle, 
are  still  finer.

RHEINBROHIi  (POP.  I  2,000)  is  a 
very  old  place  possessing  a  pretty 
Gothic  Ch.,  and  situated  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  river  in  one  angle  of  a 
three-cornered  plain.  Across  the  stream 
is  seen  the  little  hamlet  of  BROHL, 
at  the  entrance  to  the  valley  of  the 
same  name.    To  the  right  of  it  rises

Sckloss  Rheineck,  erected  in  1832  on 
the  ruins  of  an  ancient  Castle. 

Some  short  distance  from  Bheinbroh], 
and  at  the  apex  of  the  plain,  lies  Bad 
Arienheller,  in  a  sheltered  spot  between 
beech-clad  hills.  The  little  spa  possesses 
excellent  springs,  a  bath-honse  and  a 
fine  hotel. 

ANUERBTACH  (POP.:  8,400.  — HOT.: 
Bhelniseher  Hof )  is  u  qaaint  old  town 
picturesquely  situated  on  the  left  bank 
of  the  Rhine. 

The  finest  of  its  buildings  is  the 
Pfarrkirclie,  a  Bomanesque  edifice  (12tb 
cent.),  possessing  an  interesting  choir, 
which  is  somewhat  older  than  the  main 
body  of  the  bailding.  The  church  has 
four  fine  towers,  of  which  the  oldest 
18  the  Clock  Tower* 

The  Bathans  is  a  16^1^  century  structure 
in  late  -  (iothio  style  and  containing 
collections  of  Boman  and  Frankish 
antiquities.  At  the  back  of  the  edifice, 
there  is  a  curious  structure  called  the 
Judenbad  consisting  of  a  cisterti  16  feet 
in  length  and  45  feet  deep. 

The  finest  excursion  is  to  LAACHEB 
SEE,  the  largest  of  the  Eifel  Lakes. 
It  has  a  depth  of  175  feet,  the  waters 
having  collected  in  an  extinct  crater. 
On  the  southwestern  bank  of  the  lake 
is  situated  the  Abbey  of  Laaoh.  The 
Church  is  a  fine  Bomanesque  building 
dating  back  to  the  12ti>  cent. 

From  Andemach  a  line  of  rail  runs 
up  through  the  rugged  and  bleak  high- 
lands of  the  Eifel  to 

GEKOI.STEIX  (ALT.:  1,230  feet.  - 
HOT.:  znr  Post),  which  owes  its  name 
to  Gerhardstein  Castle  founded  in  1115 
and  dismantled  durine:  the  French  wars, 
the  ruina  still  crowning  a  height  that 
overshadows  the  little  town. 

The  town  possesses  six  springs,  some 
of  them  of  long  standing,  such  as  the 
Sidinger  Brunnen,  known  to  the  Bomans 
and  for  years  the  attraction  of  thou- 
sands of  pilgrims. 

In  the  neighbourhood,  there  are  dO'

The  name  *'COBLENZ"  is  merely 
the  German  corruption  of  the  Roman 
word   Confluentes,    the  town  having 
been  given  this  name  by  the  Romans 
on  account  of  its  situation  at  the  spot 
where  the  Moselle  mingles  its  waters 
with  those  of  the  Rhine.     Coblence  is 
the  capital  of  the  Rhine  Province,  and 
boasts  a  situation  that  is  perhaps  un- 
rivalled by  any  other  of  the  larger  towns 
of  the  Rhine:   the  tongue  of  land  upon 
which     it     lies,     with     its    impoi 
palaces  and  elegant  private  buiidi' 
is  flat    and   triangular,    ending    ii 
sharp    apex    upon    which     the 
statue  of  the  Emp.  William  I,  is-  j 
from  every  point  of  view;   while 
whole  is  shut  in  by  the  grand  hei' 
of  the  surrounding  mountains. 

The  most  important  building  if 


Schloss,  facing  the  Rhine  between 
Holzthor  and  the  railway  bridge.  It 
IS  a  long  structure,  erected  from  de- 
signs by  Ixnard  and  Peyre,  between 
the  years  1778  and  1785,  and  restored 
in  1842.  The  royal  apartments  are 
open  to  the  public  (tickets  25  pf.): 
they  are  situated  on  the  first  floor, 
and  .  contain  some  fine  Gobelins 
and  modern  pictures.  In  the  Kur- 
furstensaal  (Hall  of  the  Electors)  hang 
portraits  of  the  Electors  from  loll 
down  to  Clemens  Wenceslaus,  for 
whom  the  palace  was  built.  It  was  here 
that  William  I.,  with  the  help  of  his 
generals,  developed  those  plans  for  the 
reorganisation  of  the  Prussian  army 
which  indirectly  affected,  in  so  great 
a  degree,    the  fortunes   of  Germany. 


At  the  southern  end  of  the  square  in 
which  the  castle  stands  are  the  Royal 
Sfables,  now  converted  into  Ariitlery 
Barracks.  Beyond  them  is  Mainzer 
Thor,  with  the  beautiful  Barbara 
Fountain  close  by;  while,  at  the  N.W. 
corner  of  the  square  (Clemens  Pl.)i 
are  the  Posl  Office  and  the  Stadt 
Theater,  the  latter  containing  the 
municipal  Picture  Gallery,  which 
consists  of  some  200  paintings  by 
minor  Dutch  artists  &c. 

Passing  through  Post  St.,  north- 
wards, we  reach  Goben  PI.,  taking  its 
name  from  the  statue  of  General  von 
Goben  with  which  it  is  embellished.

the  celebrated  Castorkirche,  before  the

Fountain,  erected  by  the  French  in  1812 
to  commemorate  Napoleon's  entry  into 
Moscow,  and  bearing  an  inscription 
added  by  the  Russian  General,  St.  Priest, 
"Vu  et  approuve". 

The    church   itself  is   a  12th  cent. 

basilica  with  four  towers  and  a  beau- 

t  ful   choir  facing  towards  the  quay. 

The    original    building   was   founded 

in  836,  and  dedicated  to  St.  Castor: 

present  edifice  contains  two  Gothic 

3S  of  Archbishops  of  Treves  and 

e    good   modern   frescoes ;    while 

vaulting    of  the    Gothic  nave  is 

worth  attention. 

le  church  is  rich  in  historical 
:iations.  It  was  founded  by 
ivig  the  Pious,  whose  sons,  a  few 
'«  later  (842),  met  in  the  building 


to  discuss  the  division  of  thejr  father's 
kingdom  and  negotiate  the  terms  of 
the  Peace  of  Verdun  whereby  the 
boundaries  of  Germany,  France  and 
Lorraine  were  determined.  Moreover, 
it  was  here  that  Conrad  III.  was  elected 
Emperor  in  1438,  the  opening  year 
of  Germany's  Augustan  period. 

The  spot  was  accordingly  well 
chosen  for  the  erection  of  the  colossal 
monument  of  William  the  Great,  to 
whom  modern  Germany  is  indebted  for 
having  extended  and  defined  her  bound- 
aries. The  statue  stands  right  at  the 
tip  of  the  sharp  tongue  of  land,  called, 
"Deutsches  Ecli*,  where  the  Moselle 
meets  the  Rhine.  In  order  to  enlarge  the 
base,  an  embankment  was  constructed, 
and  walls,  1160  feet  in  length,  were

built:  from  these  rises  a  long  flight 
of  steps  surrounded,  at  the  top,  by  a 
fine  colonnade.  In  the  centre,  there  is 
an  enormous  pedestal  with  the  words 
^Wilkclm  dem  Grossen*'  carved  in 
large  characters  above  a  gigantic  relief 
of  the  imperial  eagle.  The  whole  of  the 
substructure  and  interstructure  was 
designed  by  Bruno  Schmitz  and  con- 
sists of  granite  and  basalt.  The  eques- 
trian statue  of  the  Emperor  himself  is 
of  beaten  copper,  and  rises  to  a  height 
of  46  feet:  it  is  accompanied  by  a  fine 
genius  bearing  the  imperial  crown, 
its  designer  being  Emil  Hundriser. 
The  entire  structure  forms  perhaps 
the  grandest  of  purely  personal  monu- 
ments in  the  whole  world. 

Another  noteworthy  building  is  the 
Kaufhaus  at  the  further  end  of  Mosel  St 
from  Deutschen  Eck.  It  was  converted 
into  a  Rathaus  in  1479  and,  having 
been  restored  in  1668,  now  serves 
as  a  school  (Real  Gymnasium).  Close 
by  are  the  Schoffenhaus,  containing 
collections  of  Roman  and  Prankish 
antiquities,  and  the  Florcncckirche, 
a  IZ^"^  cent,  edifice  with  a  Gothic  choir. 
Beyond  the  Kaufhaus  is  the  old 
-'ictoral  Castft  built  in  1276  and 
ring  addition^  made  principally  in 
16th  century  among    which    the 

wer-steps  call  for  especial  attention. 
Stands    at   the   head    of    Moselle 

ridge,  erected  in  1344  and   leading 

:ro8s  to  the  timber-docks  and  Liitzel- 

loblenz. 
A    few    paces    southwards    from 

lorencekhrche  stands  the  Liehfrauen- 


kirche,  built  in  the  16th  cent:  its  nave 
is  Romanesque,  its  choir  Gothic. 

South  of  the  oastle,  PCsffeBdorfer 
Brfieke  spans  the  Rhine  in  three  large 
arches.  Along  the  banks  of  the  i  iver  from 
this  spot  to  Rorehhrlmer  BrSoke,  there 
is  a  pretty  promenade,  whioh  waslaid-ont 
by  order  of  the  late  Empress  Aagosta, 
whose  statue  embellishes  the  spot. 

Across  the  Rhine  and  oonneoted  with 
Coblence  by  a  bridge  of  boats,  lies 

THAIi-EHRENBBEITSTEIM 
(POP.:  6,600).  Its  great  point  ot  interest 
is  the  celebrated  Fortress  of  Bbrembreit- 
steitty  built,  in  1826,  on  tbe  spot  where  an 
elder  one  had  stood  that  dated  back 
to  a  very  early  period.  Tickets  of  ad- 
mission (50  pi)  must  be  purchased  in  the 
town,  visitors  being  then  accompanied 
by  a  noncommissioned  officer:  the  view 
obtained  from  the  fortress  includes  the 
valley  of  the  Rhine  from  Andernach  to 
Stolzenfels;  while  the  nearer  heights  of 
tbe  Eitel  Range  are  also  visible.  To 
the  N.  of  the  fortress  is  Nellenkopfy 
the  finest  point  of  view  in  the 
more  immediate  neighbourhood  of  the 
town.  Southwards  of  Bhrenbreitstein 
is  Forst  Astersteia  with,  olose  by,  an 
obelisk  which  aflforda  a  prospect  quite 
eqaal  to  that  from  Ehrenbreitstein.  (No

in  the  hottest  summer  weather. 

EMS  is  one  of  the  most  renowned 
spas  of  Germany.  It  is  situated  on 
the  Lahn  and  its  antiquity  is  attested 
by  the  fact  that  the  Romans  built,  on 
the  spot,  two  castles  and  at  least  one 
bath,  the  remains  of  which  have  been 
found,  within  recent  years,  on  the  left 
bank  of  the  stream  close  to  the  springs. 
The  first  mention  of  the  town  as  a 
health-resort  occurs  in  documents  of 
the  12tii  cent.;  while,  in  a  manuscript 
of  1355,  a  reference  is  made  to  "Das 
warme  Bad  bei  Eymetz*'.  The  growth 
of  the  place,  until  it  passed  into  the 
possession  of  Prussia,  in  1866,  was 
very    gradual;     but    since   then,    the

development  has  been  very  rapid. 
Doubtless,  the  annual  visit  paid  to  the 
spa  by  the  Emperor  William  I.,  Irom 
1867  to  1887,  did  much  to  foster  the 
rise  of  the  town  into  its  present  leading 
place  among  the  health-resorts  of  Ger- 
many. The  celebrity  of  the  spa,  indeed, 
received  a  great  impulse  from  the  rcH- 
contre  which  occurred,  in  its  prome- 
nade, between  the  King  of  Prussia  and 
Benedetti,  the  French  ambassador. 

But  these  circumstances  were  in  no 
wise  necessary  to  raise  the  rank  of  Ems 
I  spa.  Its  magnificent  position, 
ne  of  the  most  beautiful  valleys 
yermany,  within  a  short  distance 
le  Rhine  and  the  Moselle,  renders 
most  agreeable  place  to  stay  at. 
sover,  its  situation,  at  a  height  of 
ft*  above  the  sea-level  and  amid 
itains  clad  from  foot  to  summit 
*  *'  jbtful  woods  or  with  vine- 


yards and  orchards,  lends  it  a  mild 
but  not  enervating  climate.  Refreshing 
breezes  of  a  light  character  blow 
across  from  the  hills  and  forests  even 
in  the  warmest  summer  weather. 

Ems  stretches  for  a  distance  of  nearly 
two  miles  along  the  river  Lahn:  the 
greater  part  of  it  is  situated  on  the 
right  bank,  and  creeps  round  the  foot 
of  Baderberg  Hill  and  up  the  side 
valleys.  It  has  a  permanent  pop.  of 
about  6,800:  the  number  of  visitors 
annually  is  26,000,  of  whom  12,000 
come  to  take  the  waters,  the  remaining 
14,000  being  tourists. 

The  centre  of  attraction  is  naturally 
the  Royal  Kurhaus,  It  was  built 
in  the  18*^  century,  and  has  been 
enlarged  several  times  to  cope  with 
the  ever-increasing  number  of  guests.

given  above,  all  the  springs  are 
thermal  except  the  Stahlquelle  and,  ac- 
cording to  the  analysis  of  Professor 
Fresenius,are  roughly  equal  in  muriates 
of  sodium.  The  curative  effects  are 
excellent  in  all  catarrhal  affections  of 
the  mucous  membrane,  diseases  of 
the  respiratory,  digestive  and  urinary 
organs  and  of  the  female  sexual  organs, 
as  well  as  in  gout  and  rheumatism. 

Above  the  town  rises  Malbers  Hill, 
about  1,100  feet  in  height.  Pleasant  and 
easy  roads  lead  ap  the  slope;  but  a  rope 
railway  may  be  used  if  preferred.  The 
height  is  coyered  with  magnificent  beech- 
woods;  and  the  sammit,  which  is  crowned 
with  a  outlook-tower,  affords  a  fine  view 
of  the  district.  A  similar  prospect  is 
also  offered  by  the  Bdmerthurm  on 
Winterberg,  the  hill  lying  to  the  E.  of 
Halberg.  Across  the  river,  to  the  right, 
is  seen  the  B&derlei,  a  stem  and  rugged 
mass  of  slate  in  climbing  which  one  passes 
the  so-called  Hooshlltte  and  the  monu- 
ment to  the  Franeo-PrasslaB  War.  The 
hill  seen  to  the  left  of  it  is  Baderberg. 
Every  few  weeks,  an  interesting  illumi- 
nation of  the  Baderlei  is  instituted  by  the 
Bath  Committee.  At  various  points  of 
the  mountain  are  stationed  link  -  boys 
to  the  number  of  600.  At  a  given  rocket- 
signal,  each  lights  his  Bengal  torch  and

some  noteworthy  buildings.  Of  these, 
the  mest  interesting  is  the  Castle,  built 
in  1621,  and  celebrated  for  its  connection 
with  the  Prussian  statesman,  vom  Stela, 
born  here  in  1757.

TBETBS  (Trier)  (POP.t  48,860.  - 
HOT.t  Porta  Nigra). 

TREVES,  the  civiias  iretwrorum  of 
the  Romans,  which  has  become^  in 
German,  Trier,  is  the  oldest  city  in  Ger- 
many. Nestling  in  a  lovely  spot  among 
vine-clad  hills  of  the  Moselle,  its  build- 
ing of  greatest  interest  is,  of  course,  the 
celebrated  Cathedral,  to  which  nearly 
all  its  streets  lead,  like  the  threads  of 
a  spider's  web  to  the  centre.  The 
original  building,  on  whose  foundation 
the  present  edifice  stands,  was  a  Roman 
basilica  dating  back,  doubtless,  to  the 
time  of  the  Emperor  Valentinian  L 
(364—375).  The  place  passed  through 
many  vicissitudes,  being  partly  de- 
stroyed, first  by  the  Franks  and  then 
by  the  Normans:  it  was  renovated  by 
Archbishop  Poppo  and  his  successors. 
The  vaulting  of  the  nave  dates  from 
the  13*b  cent,  —  the  treasury,  with 
its  cupola,  from  the  17*^  century. 
The  Roman  part  of  the  structure  will 
be  recognised  by  sandstone  and  brick 
work,  the  additions  made  by  Poppo 
being  of  lime -stone  and  brick.  The 
interior,  in  which  the  Prankish  capitals 
and  Roman  arches  are  easily  recognis- 
able, contains  monuments  of  John  IlL 
and  the  Elector  Richard  III.;  while,  in 
the  treasury,  are  preserved  what  arc 
said  to  be  the  skulls  of  the  Empress 
Helena  &  St.  Matthew  and  a  nail  from 
the  cross  of  Christ.  (Entrance  to  these 
wonders  may  be  obtained  on  payment 
of  1  mk.).  But  the  most  renowned 
reliquus  is  the  *'coat  of  Christ  without 
seam  woven  from  the  top  throughout" 
and  preserved  in  the  High  Al 
though  rarely  exhibited. 

Another  veiy  interesting  chu.. 
the  Liebfrauenkirche  close  by 
Cathedral.  It  is  an  early- G( 
structure,  the  interior  supported 
12  columns  bepainted  with  figure: 
the  twelve  apostles,  all.  of  which 
visible   from  a  block   of  sla*-^   '

iht  6ntraiicd.  The  building  contains 
numerous  monuments  and  a  mummy 
of  Bishop  Theodolph  (4th  cent.). 

A  few  paces  southwards  stands  a 
basilica  of  the  4tb  century.  Across 
Palast  PL  and  beyond  the  exceedingly 
interesting  Provincial  Museum,  are 
the  ruins  of  a  palace  once  belonging  to 
the  Roman  emperors  and  now  called 
Kaiser  Palast.  It  stands  at  the  corner 
of  Ost-Aliee  and  SOd-Allee,  the  latter 
road  leading  up  the  hill  eastwards^,  to 
an  *  amphitheatre  capable  of  seating 
about  7,000  persons.  The  building 
was  probably  erected  in  the  days  of 
Trajan.  Some  other  interesting  relics 
are  the  Rofftan  Baths  at  the  western 
end  of  Siid-Allee,  and  the  bridge  across 
the  Moselle:  the  main  part  of  the 
structure  was  built  by  the  Romans, 
only  the  second  and  seventh  pillars 
being  modern.  Moreover,  in  the  N.E. 
of  the  town  there  is  a  well-preserved 
Roman  gate- way  of  the  4*h  century, 
called  Porta  Nigra:  the  structure  has 
additions  made  in  the  1 1th  cent. 

Treves  lie*  in  the  great  wine-growisg 
district  of  the  Moselle.  Amooff  the 
most  celebrated  f^rowers  are  Messrs. 
Kfihlwein  &  Go.  (whose  wines  enjoy  a 
high  repute),  and  the  well-known  nrm 
of  Messrs.  Bud.  &  Wm.  Manoher  whose 
head-quarters  are  at  Neuatadt  o/Haardt.

U.  S.  CONS.  AOT. t  Ernest  Demlle^  Esq. 

LUXEMBURG  is  the  capital  of  the 
Grand  Duchy  of  the  same  name,  a 
small  independent  state  lying  between 
Germany  and  Belgium  with  its  S.W. 
comer  touching  the  boundary  of 
France  (see  introduction  to  Germany), 
city  has  a  mixed  population, 
common  medium  of  intercourse 


being  I^rench.  The  upper -town  lied 
on  a  rocky  plateau,  the  lower- town 
in  the  valley  of  the  Petrusse.  Its 
situation  among  rugged  rocks  and 
varied  plantations,  its  enormous  via- 
ducts, and  its  wooded  hills  to  the 
N.  E.  present  a  most  beautiful  and 
striking  aspect.  A  good  idea  of  the 
city  is  obtained  by  a  walk  round  the 
Ring  which  encircles  the  greater  part 
of  the  place  and  commands  views  of 
the  old  ramparts  as  well  as  of  the 
two  fine  valleys  through  which  the 
Petrusse  and  the  Alzette  flow. 

From  the  station  we  cross  the 
PetrusseValley  to  the  Brucken  Ring  and 
follow  Konigsring  to  Hotel  Brasseur 
and  through  Amalia  St  into  the 
Plantations,  where  stands  a  monu- 
ment to  Princess  Amalia.  Keeping  to 
the  right,  we  come  to  the  Pescatore 
Alms  Houses,  near  which  there  is  a 
fine  view  across  the  deep  valley  of 
the  Alzette.  Having  walked  rqund  the 
grounds  of  the  institute,  we  pass  to 
the  left  and  visit  the  Three  Towers, 
proceeding  thence  along  the  Neuen- 
weg  to  Schlossbriicke  whose  arches, 
superposed  one  upon  another,  span 
the  Pfaffenthal  near  the  famous  Bock. 
The  Bock  is  a  cliff  remarkable  for 
its  casemates  and  bearing  the  ruins 
of  the  old  castle. 

A  road  to  the  right  leads  aeross  the 
Brtlokenring  to  Constitution  PL  which 
affoids  a  fine  view  of  the  Petrusse 
Valley  and  the  new  Adolphbrfloke. 
This  bridge  consists  of  two  small  arches 
at  either  end  and  a  magnificent  middle 
arch  haviDg  a  span  ox  84  metres  — 
the  largest  hitherto  executed  in  stone. 
The  whole  is  a  remarkably  bold  struc- 
ture designed  by  Bodange.  Following 
now  the  tramway  lines »  we  come  to 
WilhehnsPL  embellished  with  a  statue  of 
William  II.  (a  master-pieoe  by  Mercier).

METZ,  the  capital  of  German 
Lothringen  (Lorraine)  has  a  civil  pop. 
of  some  60,(XX).  The  city  is  strongly 
fortified,  and  is  occupied  by  a  garrison 
of  20,000  Prussian,  Saxon  &  Bavarian 
soldiers.  It  lies  in  an  extensive  valley 
on  the  banks  of  the  Moselle,  which 
here  spreads  out  into  various  arms. 
Originally  a  settlement  of  the  Gauls, 
it  became,  in  the  9*^1  cent.,  an  inde- 


pendent city  of  the  German  empire: 
in  1556  it  was  ceded  to  France  and 
remained  French  till  1871. 

The  finest  of  its  many  noteworthy 
buildings  is  the  Cathedral,  An  \m- 
posing  Gothic  structure  built  diiring 
the  13*^  and  14^^  centuries  and  pos- 
sessing a  choir  added  1(X)  years  later. 
Both  the  nave  and  the  tower  are 
exceptionally  high,  the  latter  400  ft. 
Most  of  the  monuments  formerly  con* 
tained  in  the  interior  were  demolished

and  transept  being  H^h^  15th  and 
I6tb  cent.  work.  The  font  is  an 
ancient  Roman  bath. 

Opposite  the  Cathedral  is  the  Stadt- 
haus,  containing  a  small  Museum. 
Northwards  of  the  Cathedral  stand 
the  Theatre  and  the  Government 
Buildings.  A  bridge  to  the  N.  E. 
of  th£  latter  leads  across  to  Vmzenz  St. 
in  which  Vinzenzkirche,  a  handsome 
13th  cent,  building,  in  Gothic  style  and 
with  Roman  remains,  is  worth  visiting. 
Not  far  from  the  Stadthaus,  at  the 
corner  of  Geisberg  and  Bibliothek  St., 
stands  the  Library:  it  contains  some 
valuable  historical  collections,  and  a 
few  Roman  antiquities.*  Adjacent  to 
it  is  the  old  Austrasian  Palace, 
erected  in  1599  on  the  spot  where  a 
former  Roman  palace  had  stood,  and 
built,  indeed,  partly  of  the  ruins.  (In 
the  i^  and  8tb  centuries,  Metz  was 
the  capital  of  Austrasia). 

In  the  S.  E.  part  of  the  city  stand 
the  churches  of  Notre  Dame  and 
St,  Martin  —  the  latter  near  one  end 
of  Esplanade  St.  At  the  other  end  of 
this  street  rises  the  Palace  of  Justice, 
formerly  the  residence  of  the  French 
governor.  Beyond  it,  in  Bouffler's 
Garden,  there  is  a  fine  bronze  statue 
of  Prince  Frederick  Carl  of  Prussia, 
raised  in  memory  of  his  great  victory 
of  1870.  The  middle  Esplanade  is 
embellished  with  an  equestrian  statue 
of  the  Emperor  William  1. 

The  battle-fields  to  the  E.  and  W.  of 
the  city  require  several  hours  inspection 
to  be  appreciated.  They  are  very  exten- 
sive and  interesting,  the  most  important 
spot  to  visit  being,  of  course,  Grave- 
lotte,  which  lies  about  5  miles  W.  of 
city.     From  this  spot,   when  the 
le    began   on   the   16th  oi  Aug.,

and  stretches  away  to  a  distance  of 
5  miles  to  the  E.  and  S.  E. 

A  short  distance  across  the  frontier

of  CAPBLLBN  (Hoi.:  Btolienfels ; 
BelleTve)  overlooked,  from  a  height 
of  310  feet,  by  the  proud  CASTLE  OF 
STOLZENFELS.  The  original  building 
was  a  very  ancient  one,  and  was 
replaced,  in  1259,  by  a  fortress 
erected  by  Archbishop  Arnold  of 
Treves.  This  edifice  having  been  re- 
duced to  a  ruin  by  the  French  in 
1689,  it  was  restored  by  Schinkel  in 
1823  for  the  Crown  Prince  Frederick 
William,  and  is  now  the  property  of 
the  Emperor  William  11.  (Tickets  to 
view  the  Castle,  25  pf.).  Apart  from 
the  valuable  frescoes  it  contains,  it 
also  affords  a  fine  prospect  of  the 
Rhine  and  the  valley  ot  the  Lahn. 
The  best  point  of  view,  however,  is 
from  Augusta  Hohe  above  the  Castle 
(IV4  hours). 

OBERIiAHNSTEIHr  (POP.:  7,00a 
HOT.:  Weller;  Lmhneek),  at  the  moath 
of  the  Lahn :  it  is  principally  indastriaJ, 
and  possesses  considerable  docks.  Its 
Bathsas,  a  late-Gothic  straotare  with 
projecting  gables,  is  well  worth  seeing^. 
At  one  end  of  the  town  is  Schloes 
Martinsbnrir)  a  Uth  cent,  bailding  which 
was  formerly  the  castle  of  the  Electors 
of  Mayence.  A  quarter  of  an  hour 
distant  stands  the  old  Castle  of  Lahneek, 
with  its  fine  tower  crowning  a  high 
and  overhanging  rock:  it  was  once  the 
residence  of  the  Electors  of  Mnyeuce, 
and  is  first  mentioned  in  the  year  12-2  . 
Having  been  almost  demolished  by  the 


17* 


Siolzenfels  Castle  and  Chapeh 


French  in  1B89,  it  has,  in  recent  years, 
been  rebuilt  and  rendered  habitable. 

The  Lahn  is  one  of  the  most  im- 
portant tributaries  of  the  Bhine.  In 
its  valley  lie  the  celebrated  spa  of  Ems 
and  the  small  but  important  town  of 
Nftssan.    (See  route  27  b).

About  10  minutes  below  the  hamlet 
stands  the  Konigstabl,  a  building  wbich 
had  gone  to  rum,  but  was  re-erected  in 
1848,  the  principal  materifils  used  being 
the  old  fallen  stones.  The  edifice  stanus  at 
the  spot  where  the  Electorates  of  Cologne, 
Treves  and  Mayence  touch  one  another; 
and  the  spot  whs  consequently  chosen  as 
a  meeting-place  for  the  Electors,  bence 
its  name,  which  means  the  King's  Sl<»at. 

BRAVBACH  (POP.:  2,t00.  -  HOT.:

ful excursions,  one  of  the  best  of  which 
is  to  Dachskopf  '2Va  hrs.).  Above  Brau- 
baoh,  On  a  rock  500  feet  in  height,  rises 
the  well-preserved  Castle  of  Harksbarg : 
it  is,  indeed,  the  only  fortress  on  the 
Bhine  wbich  has  escaped  the  ravages  of 
time  and  war. 

BOPPARD  (POP.:  6,000.  —  HOT.: 
Spiegel)  is  frequented  by  a  large  number 
ot  visitors  on  account  of  its  picturesque 
f-ituation  and  interesting  buildings.    Of 


these  latter  the  most  noteworthy  is  the 
Pfsrrkirche,  with  its  two  towers  and 
choir  (I2th  cent.):  the  decoration  of  the 
interior  has  been  recently  restored  in 
excellent  taAte.  Another  old  Church  is 
Karmeliterkirehey  a  Gothio  building 
(13lH).  On  the  banks  of  the  Bhine,  and 
close  to  the  ferry,  stands  the  old  Elec- 
toral Castle.  Other  buildings  within  the 
town  are  the  Franziskaner'Kloster,  the 
remains  of  the  Tempelhof  in  Seiten  (^asse 
and  St.  Martin's  Kloster, 

Above  the  town,  in  Honsraeker  Bead, 
stands  the  old  Harienbeig,  formerly  a 
Benedictine  convent,  now  a  hydro.

is  a  fine  hill  1,100  ft.  high  and  covered 
with  vineyards  and  woods. 

At  its  foot  flows  "Father  Rhine";  while, 
on  one  of  its  shoulders  opposite  the 
town  of  Bingen,  stands  the  celebrated 
National  Honament  mentioned  above. 
The  main  figure,   bearing:  the  Imperial

Crown  and  a  garlanded  sword,  is  that 
of  Germania,  and  was  designed  by

been  greatly  increased  by  the  national  {

tower  standing  upon  au  island  in  tba

appears  to  have  obtained  ita  name  from 
an  old  German  word  which  signified 
either  a  weapon  or  an  outlook ;  but 
the  name  was  corrupted,  and  gave 
riae  to  a  legend  which  say  a  that  a 
certain  Bishop  HattCF,  who  had  burned 
a  number  i>f  poor  people  in  a  ham, 
was  {^hae^ed  by  mice  aa  far  as  the  tower 
aod  there  devoured.  Another  version 
of  the  saga  is  that  the  bis  Imp,  aft^r 
having  b#e-a  for  many  years  followed 
by  the  micflT,  built  the  tower  here,  in 
tha  middle  of  the  Stream  in  order  to 
escape  his  tormentors. 

This  latter  legend  receives  <.  r 
from  the  character  of  the  strean  ,t 
this  spot;  the  Rhine,  becoming  :  > 
rower  and  narrower,  rushes  here  »- 
tween  its  banks  in  dangerous  ra  is 
and  whirl-pools ;  so  that  the  place  • 
obtained  the  name  of  Binger  L  i.

consists  of  two  parts,  —  the  Neustadt, 
lying  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Nahe, 
and  the  Altstadt,  on  the  right  bank, 
the  two  sections  being  joined  by  a 
bridge,  from  which  a  picturesque 
view  is  obtained.  This  bridge  is  an 
old  stone  structure  supporting  a 
number  of  dwelling-houses  and  em- 
bellished with  a  cross  and  a  statue 
of  St.  Nepomuk. 

Among  other  sights  of  the  place  is 
the  Pauluskirche,  built  on  the  site 
of  the  old  edifice  demolished  by  the 
French  in  1689;  the  ruins  of  the  choir 
have  been  preserved  in  the  English 
Church.  The  school  in  Kreuz  St. 
contains  the  Museum  of  the  Anti- 
quarian Society.  There  is  a  column 
to  ^Bismarck  on  Bismarck  PI.  An- 
other monument  —  a  spirited  sculpture 
by  Cauer  —  depicts  Michel  Mort  the 
butcher,  saving  his  country's  ruler, 
Count  John  of  Sponheim,  who  has 
been  wounded  in  battle  against  the 
Archbishop  of  May ence.  In  1893,  ex-

revealed  an  excellently  -  preserved 
mosaic  floor:  it  is  Roman  work  re- 
presenting fighting  gladiators. 

But  the  centre  of  attraction  is, 
naturally,  the 'Kurhaus',  with  its  beauti- 
ful Park :  the  latter  is  delightfully  laid 
out  with  gardens  and  fountains,  and 
embellished  with  avenues.  During  the 
season,  an  excellent  band,  consisting 
of  40  musicians,  plays  thrice  daily,  the 
moving  throng  of  listeners  presenting 
a  most  motley  aspect.  At  one  end 
of  the  Park  is  the  Elisabeth  Quelle, 
which  is  the  principal  spring,  and 
rises    beneath    a    tasteful   tabernacle. 

The  sprmgs  are  seventeen  in 
number,  of  which  three  are  strongly 
saline,  the  Oranien  Quelle  contain- 
ing over  lA^/o  of  sodium  chloride. 
Some  of  them  rise  naturally

The  waters  of  the  Elisabeth  and 
Oranien  Springs  are  employed  medi- 
cinally, —  those  of  the  others  for 
bathing  purposes.  The  curative  effects 
of  the  waters  lie  in  their  possessing 
salts  of  sodium,  lithium*^  bromium 
and  iodine. 

The  baths,  strengthened  by  the 
addition  of  the  celebrated  "Kreuz- 
nacher  Mutterlauge",  are  administered 
in  most  comfortably-appointed  hotels 


and  bathing  establishments  situated 
in  the  charming  viila-quarter.

npon  its  waters  for  its  reputation.  Pro- 
tected effectaally  trom  the  bleak  winds 
of  the  north,  its  climate  is  so  mild  and 
excellent  that  almonds,  peaches  &  grapes 
of  excellent  quality  flourish  in  the  valley;

the  group  of  towers  and  turrets. 
Moreover,  the  vaulting  of  the  interior, 
supported  upon  56  pillars,  produces 
a  deep  sense  of  solemnity.  There 
are  also  numerous  tombs  and  monu- 
ments, the  principal  of  them  belong- 
ing to  the  16  th  cent.  The  transept 
contains,  among  other  interesting 
statues,  SchivantkaJer*s  Frauenlob,  a 
marble  monument  to  the  minnesinger 
Heinrich  von  Meissen. 

A  little  to  the  S.W.  of  the  Markt, 
where  an  old  fountain  (1626)  stands, 
is  Gutenberg  PL,  named  after  the 
great  printer  and  embellished  with 
his  statue,  executed  in  1837  by  Thor- 
waldsen.  The  Gutenberg  Museum 
was  opened  1901. 

The  north-western  side  of  the  square 
is  occupied  by  the  Theatre;  while, 
south  westwards,  is  a  square  adorned 
with  a  statue  of  Schiller,  from  which 
it  takes  its  name. 

Along  the  banks  of  the  Rhine  runs 
one  of  the  finest  promenades  of  this 
famous  stream,  well -planted  with 
trees  and  having  a  large  number  of 
steamboat  piers  and  several  bathing- 
places.  At  its  south-eastern  end  is 
the  large  Military  Hospital:  right 
in  the  middle  of  the  promenade 
is  situated  the  Stadthalle,  containing 
one  of  the  largest  saloons  of  Ger- 
many: some  distance  beyond  it,  and 
opposite  the  head  of  the  bridge,  is 
the  Armory  and  the  Grand- Ducal 
Palace ;  whije  between  Schlossthor 
and  Kaiserthor  rises  the  Electoral 
Palace,  now  in  course  of  renovation 
at  a  cost  of  900,000  mks.  This  fine 
building  is  the  depository  of  some 
valuable  collections,  namely,  Roman 
and  Teutonic  Antiquities,  a  Picture 
Gallery  and  a  Library,  The  first 
of  these  is  very  extensive  and  valu- 
able, among  the  picture^s  being  not 
a  few  that  are  well  worth  seeing: 
the  most  striking  specimens  are  works 
by  Jan  Steen,    Ruysdael,    Dirk  Hals, 


Jordaens,  Dtirer,  Teniers,  Mabuie 
and  Thorwaldsen.  The  Library  ia 
open  Wed.  and  Sat.  9—4  o'clock 
and  on  other  days,  9 — 1  o'clock.  It 
contains  180,000  volumes,  including 
4,500  incunabula  by  Gutenberg,  Fust, 
Schoffer  &c. 

In  Grosse  Bleiehe,  at  the  eastern 
corner  is  the  Concerthaus  der  Lieder- 
iafel,  built  by  Ch.  Riihl  and  con- 
taining large  restaurant:  half-way  up 
the  street  there  is  a  fine  fountain. 
Passing  out  of  Schloss  PL  northwest- 
wards, we  reach  Kaiser  Si,  lined 
with  a  splendid  avenue,  and  containing 
the  noteworthy  Christuskirche  and 
the  Imperial  Bank, 

Most  of  the  finest  buildings,  how- 
ever, lie  in  the  southern  part  of  the 
town  (Altstadt).  Next  to  those  al- 
ready mentioned,  the  most  important 
are  the  following:— 

Johannes  Kirche,  a  little  to  the 
S.W.  of  the  Cathedral ;  northwards, 
across  Bishop  PI.,  stands  the  Epis- 
copal Palace:  St  Quintin*s  Church, 
in  Schuster  St.  Outside  the  city,  to 
the  S.,  stands  the  Citadel,  in  whose 
S.W.  corner  rises  an  old  Roman 
tower  called  the  Eigelstein,  and  bear- 
ing also  the  name  of  Drususthurm, 
after  the  general  in  commemoration 
of  whose  death  here  in  A.  D.  9  it 
was  erected. 

Mayence  is  an  important  industrial 
centre  possessing  very  extensive 
champagne  cellars  and  doing  a  brisk 
trade  in  preserves,  leather,  beer  &c. 
It  has  direct  communication  with 
Darmstadt,  Frankfort  o.  M.,  Wies-

wines,  known  as  Hochheimer,  and

WORMS,  now  a  thriving  industrial  I      Sf,  PauVs  Church  and  St.  Paul's 


town,    was  once  a  free  and  imperial 
city    in    which    the    emperors    were 
crowned,  and  it  still  contains  nume- 
rous tokens  of  former  days« 
The  principal  sights  are: — 
-The    Cathedral    of   St.  Peter,    a 
magnificent  specimen  of  Romanesque 
architecture,    and    a    striking    struc- 
ture with  a  long   nave  and  transept, 
'    towers ,     two     cupolas ,     two 
irs     and     a    grand    porch.      The 
idations    were    probably    laid    in 
9th  cent. ;  but  the  main  building, 
ibed     to    Bishop    Burkhard,     is 

century  work. 
'.   Martin's    and    St.  Andrew's, 
Romanesque    churches,    likewise 
ig  back  to  Bishop  Burkhard*s  day. 


Museum  contain  interesting  col- 
lections including  a  unique  Luther 
Library. 

The  Church  of  Our  Lady  (Lieb- 
frauenkirche) ,  at  the  extreme  N.  of 
the  town,  is  a  late-Gothic  edifice  of 
exceptional  grace  and  beauty,  which 
has  recently  undergone  a  thorough 
restoration:  its  porch  is  embellished 
with  figures  representing  the  wise 
and  foolish  virgins. 

Around  the  church  is  grown  the 
celebrated  wine  known  as  Lleb- 
fraumllch ,  the  largest  vineyards 
being  the  property  of  Messrs.  P.  J. 
Valckenberg,  Limited.  The  firm 
was  founded  in  the  year  1786; 
and    it    is    chiefly     owing    to    their 


271 


cultivation  and  care  that  the  Lieb- 
fraumilch  wines  have  grown  so 
famous.  In  the  course  of  their 
long  existence  Messrs.  Valckenberg 
have  become  the  owners  of  the 
finest  vineyards  of  the  district,  in^ 
eluding  the  **Klostergarten"  and  the 
"Luginsland";  the  former  produces 
the  best  Liebfraumilch ,  —  the 
latter  is  a  very  famous  hill  that 
shuts  in  Worms  to  the  south  and 
yields  some  of  the  most  delicious 
wines  of  the  Rhine. 

The  Synagogue,  with  the  Raschi- 
kapelle,  is  a  very  interesting  llth  cent, 
building  in  Romanesque  style. 

But  perhaps  the  greatest  attrac- 
tion of  Worms  is  its  connection 
with  Luther,  who,  summoned  be- 
fore the  diet  here,  uttered  the 
memorable  words  **f>ier  ftelje  id^, 
id?  fanii  nic^t  anbers,  (Sott  Ijelfe  mir, 
2lmcn  !'*  The  statue  of  the  great 
reformer  will  be  found  close  to  the 
Neue  Thor. 

Finally,  there  are  the  Trinity  and 
Friedrich  Churches,  the  Bismarck 
Monument,  the  Ludwig  Monument 
and  the  two  handsome  bridges  that 
span  the  Rhine.

MANNHEIM  is  the  second  town 
in  the  Grand  Duchy  of  Baden.  It 
lies  at  the  confluence  of  the  Neckar 
with  the  Rhine.  The  inner  town 
is  built  in  squares  and  surrounde^i 
by  boulevards  that  form,  as  it  were^ 
an  ar^h,  with  its  base  r^isting 
upon  the  Schlossgarten  (that  shuts  it 
off  from  the  Rhine)  and  its  crown 
touching  the  Neckar,  where  a  bridge 
joins  it  with  Ried  Station  and  the 
Neckar  Garden.  The  whole  area 
contains  21  numbered  and  lettered 
blocks  with  10  streets  running 
horizontally  to  the  base  and  1 1 
vertically.  Lines  of  electric  tramvi'^ay 
cross  the  town  in  two  directions, 
the  one  from  the  Neckar  Bri.ige 
to  the  Grand  Ducal  Schloss  (Palace), 
the  other  joining  the  Rheinthor 
to  VVasserthurm ,  where  it  turns  to 
the  right  and  runs  down  to  the 
chief  railway  station,  a  large  and 
handsome  building  in  the  south  oT 
the  town,  opposite  the  end  of 
Kaiserring. 

A    short    distance    up    this    boule- 
vard we    pass  a  statue  of  Bismarck^ 
and,  in  five  minutes,  reach  the  fan.

This  beautiful  spot  is  laid  out

by    arcades,    the    Festhalle    and 
still   unfinished   Museum.     The    ' 
of  all  these  is  in  keeping  wit'^

is  a  reinarkabfe  work  of  art  with 
a  ceiling  rtprese riling  the  12  conslel-

From  Friedrichs  Pi.  the  walk  through 
the  beautiful  ring  may  be  continued 
right  round  the  town  to  the  Rhine 
Bridge ;  but  the  principal  buildings 
lie  in  the  interior  of  the  town,  h  is 
therefore  adviisable  to  follow  the 
new  tramway  line  running  from  the 
Water  Tower  through  Heidelberg  St.

spot,  at  the  entrance  to  the  valley

lordly  Rhine.  Founded  probably  in 
the  early  days  of  the  Christian  era, 
it  is  hoary  with  historical  reminis-

of  Hohenstaufen  made  it  his  residence;

on  the  third   floor,  is  the  exhibition 

of   the    Art    Union.      A    few    steps 

northwards  is   Haupt   St.,   on   reach* 

••"*    which    we    turn     to    the    right, 

soon     find     ourselves     on     the 

:t   PL,    in    the    centre    of    which 

Is     the     Church    of   the    Holy 

ft,  erected  at    the    close    of   the 

L  cent,    under    Rupert  III.     By  a 

,    built    in    1705,    it    is    divided 

two   parts,   the  one   being  Pro- 

>t  and  the  other  Roman  Catholic. 


The  eastern  side  of  Markt  PI.  is 
occupied  by  the  Police  Station  and 
the  Rathaus,  the  latter  dating  from 
1701  and  containing  a  fine  room 
decorated  with  frescoes  by  Linden- 
schmidt.  From  the  northern  side  of 
the  church,  we  pass  through  Stein 
Gasse  to  the  head  of  the  old  bridge 
with  its  ancient  gateway  and  towers: 
it  is  embellished  with  a  statue  of 
the  Elector  Carl  Theodor  under 
whom,  in  1786,  it  was  erected:  the 
figures  round  the   pedestal  represent 


277 


theRhifte,  XheNeckar,  the  Danube  and 
the  Moselle.  Another  statue  is  that  of 
Minerva,  also  surrounded  with  alle- 
gorical figures.  From  the  bridge, 
an  admirable  view  of  the  river  and 
its  banks  is  obtained.  On  the 
northern  bank  is  the  Heiligenberg: 
down  the  river  we  get  a  glimpse  of 
the  new  bridge;  while,  on  the  left 
hand,  is  Gaisherg^  surmounted  by 
a  Belvedere:  *  southeastwards ,  the 
grand  ruins  of  the  Old  Castle  over- 
look the  town. 

This  CASTLE  (Schloss)  may  be 
reached,  either  by  the  rope  railway 
from  Korn  Markt  Station  (35  pf.), 
or  by  cab  (2  pers.  2.50  mks.,  4  pers. 
3  mks.,  for  single  fare,  the  return 
fare  being  4  *mks.,  irrespective  of 
number):  pedestrians  may  take  a 
pleasant  and  easy  road  from  the 
Korn     Markt     or    from    St.    Peter's 


Church:  a  third  route,  via  Burg- 
weg,  is  shorter  and  shadier,  but 
somewhat  steep. 

The  tariff  for  viewing  the  Castle 
and  the  almost  as  celebrated  great 
tun  is,  for  1  pers.,  1  mk.,  for  2  or 
3  pers.,  1.50  mk.,  for  every  add'f 
person  50  pf. 

This  once  lordly  castle,  still  magni- 
ficent in  decay,  stands  upon  a 
wooded  projection  of  the  Konig- 
stuhli  and  dates  back,  doubtless,  to 
the  days  of  Conrad  von  Hohen- 
staufen.  But  the  various  buildings 
of  which  it'  consists  wefe  added 
principally  by  Rupert  III.  (1400), 
Frederick  I.  and  Ludwig  V.  (1544}; 
and,  indeed,  the  building  was  not  com- 
-pleted  until  the  reign  of  Frederick  V., 
son-in-law  of  James  I.  of  Ertgland, 
During  the  Thirty  Years'  War,  it 
suffered  some  slight  damage;    but  it

was  from  the  troops  of  Louis  XIV. 
of  France  that  it  received  its  most 
serious  injuries.  Under  Qouni  Melac, 
they  besieged  both  town  and  castle, 
and,  on  the  2nd  March  1689,  blasted 
the  fortifications.  Four  years  later, 
after  the  capitulation  of  Heidersdorf, 
both  town  and  castle  were  re- 
duced to  little  better  than  a  heap 
of  stones  and  ashes.  The  stout 
walls  of  the  Castle,  however,  still 
remained  almost  intact,  and,  under 
Carl  Philip,  partial  restorations  were 
undertaken;  but,  since  the  Castle 
was  struck  by  lightning  in  1764, 
no  further  attempts  have  been 
made  to  render  it  again  habitable, 
and  the  wonderful  ruins  now  stand, 
a  sad  witness  recalling  the  eventful 
centuries  during  which  the  Castle 
flourished.

As  we    approach    them    from    the 
Castle    grounds    we    obtain    an    ex- 
cellent   view     of    the     two     groups 
into  which  they  fall.   On  the  western 
and    southern    sides,    is    the    simple 
Gothic   building    erected,    chiefly,    by 
Ludwig   v.;    while,   to   the  N.    and 
W.,    stand    the    richly  decorated  Re- 
naissance ,  erections.      The    parts    of 
the  first  groups  —  ascribed  to  Lud- 
wig —  are  situated    on   the   eastern 
side  of  the  court-yard,  and   may  be 
recognised  by  a  tower  with  wind*"'" 
stair-way  as  well   as  by  the  coal 
arms.     Attached   to  this  part  are 
ancient  offices,  such  as  the  kitch 
slaughter  -  houses,    bake  -  houses  i 
and,     finally,     the     barrack     rooi 
with  a  picturesque    Gothic  hall    i

of  Frederick  I.  and  Frederich'V,:  the 
last  is  termed  "Der  englische  Ban", 
The  buildings,  erected  by  Otto  Heinrich 
(1556)  form,  perhaps,  the  finest  spe- 


cimen of  early  German  Renaissance 
architecture  extant.  The  lowest 
floor  is  occupied  by  the  Kaisersaal 
and  the  living  apartments  of  the 
electors.  In  these  rooms,  there  is  a 
collection  of  antiquities  and  works  of 
art  among  which  may  be  mentioned 
a  series  of  portraits  including  those 
of  Tilly,  General  Milac,  Luther 
(Kranach  the  elder),  Melanchthon 
(Kranach  the  younger),  Prince  Henry 
of  Orange  Nassau  with  consort 
(Netherland  school)  &c. 

In  Otto  Heinrich's  Bau,  built  by 
Colyn  of  Mecheln  (Antwerp),  one  re- 
cognises the  influence  of  the  Nether- 
land school;  where,  as  in  the  Fried- 
rich*s  Bau  (designed  by  Schoch  of 
Strasburg  in  1601),  the  more  vertical 
lines  and  the  greater  height  indicate  th» 
true  tendency  of  the  German  Renais-

saDce.  The  building,  which  is  heavier 
in  style  than  Colyn's,  is  embellished 
with  statues  of  sixteen  ancestors  of 
the  Palatinate  dynasty. 

To  obtain  a  good  view  across  the  so- 
called  English  Building,  with  its  simple 
and  clear  Renaissance  characteristics, 
it  is  advisable  to  ascend  the  Altan 
which  affords  a  magnificent  outlook 
in  varioud  directions. 

Between  it  and  the  Englischer  Bau 
is  the  Gothic  'Fassbau*,  erected  by 
Johann  Casimir  (1591).  The  Great 
Tun,  lying  within  it,  was  built  under 
Karl  Theodor,  in  1751,  and  is  capable 
of  conta'ning  221,726  litres:  like  its 
predecessors,  it  is  regarded  as  sym- 
bolic of  the  town  of  Heidelberg. 

From  the  GlocheMihurm  (Belfry 
Tower),  a  view  of  the  fortifications 
is  to  be  had:  from  the  top,  one  per- 


ceives how  precipitously  the  hiil  falls 
away  on  three  sides,  the  castle  being 
aj5proachable  only  from  the  S.;  here, 
a  moat,  spanned  by  a  bridge  and 
guarded  by  a  tower  180  ft.  in  height, 
was  formed.  The  eastern  side  was 
protected  by  three  towers,  namely:— 
the  so-called  Blasted  Tower,  the  ivy- 
mantled  Apothecary's  Tower  and 
the  Belfry  Tower.  These  were  once 
joined  by  double  walls;  while,  to 
complete  the  fortification,  the  ** Dicker 
Tfittrm'*  (broad  tower)  was  erected 
on  the  western  side. 

Opposite  the  castle  stands  the 
Bismarck  Column.  In  the  surrounding 
park,  there  is  a  Monument  to 
Scheffel:  the  spot  where  it  stands 
is  called  **Scheffel  Blick"  and  affords 
a  good*  view  of  the  Neckar.  Another 
celebrated     prospect    is     that     from

RHENISH  PALATINATE. 

The  Palatinate  is  one  of  the  love- 
Uest,  mqst  favoured,  and  most  fertile 
distdctii  of  Germany. 

The  picturesque  Haardt  Mts.  and 
the  wildly  romantic  spurs  of  the 
Vosges  enclose  valleys  of  infinite 
charm;  while  their  numerous  summits, 
crowned  with  ruins  or  rugged  rocks, 
command  most  delightful  panoramic 
views.  The  Palatinate  Mts.,  with  their 
glorious  woods,  form  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  chains  in  Germany; 
and  the  Palatinate  Forest,  with  its 
oaks  and  beeches,  its  pines  and 
its  firs,  is  one  of  the  largest  and 
grandest  of  its  kind.  The  Palatinate 
is  rich  in  picturesque  ruins,  of  which 
it  possesses  some  140,  a  number 
scarcely  rivalled  by  any  other  district 
of  similar  dimensions.

NEUSTADT  is  an  ancient  town 
situated  in  the  midst  of  the  vine- 
yards of  the  Palatinate  and  sur- 
ded  by  most  beautiful  scenery, 
g  the  junction  of  the  railway 
.  from  the  Rhine  and  Berlin  to 
zerland  and  Italy  and  enjoying 
t  celebrity  for  its  delicious  wines, 
>rms  the  centre  of  the  Palatinate 

h  the  immediate  and  the  more 
..it  environs  afford  numberless  and 
'-^ful  excursions;  and,  from  spring 


to  .autumn,  thousands  of  tourists 
gather  here  every  Sunday. 

The  town  is  justly  styled  **the 
Pearl  of  the  Palatinate".  Indeed, 
Neustadt  and  the  encircling  heights, 
dotted  everywhere  with  castles,  man- 
sions and  villages,  spanned  by  a 
clear  blue'  sky  and  adorned  with 
blossom  or  fruit,  forms  a  sight  not 
easily  to  be  matched. 

SPIBES  (POP.:  20,000.  —  BOTBLt 
Wlttelsbaelier  Hof),  ceded  to  Germany, 
"on  account  of  its  wines*',  by  the 
Treaty  of  Verdun,  is  celebrated  as 
the  town  before  whose  diet  Luther, 
in  1529,  made  his  famous  declaration 
of  dissent  from  the  decree  of 
Charles  V.,  his  adherers  then  re- 
ceiving the  denomination  >  of  Pro- 
testant The  place  is  equally  re- 
nowned for  its  old  Cathedral,  a 
magnificent  Romanesque  edifice  dating 
back  to  the  11th  cent.,  it  having 
been  founded  by  Emp.  Conrad  II. 
The  building  has  two  cupolas  and 
four  towers,  the  western  one  being 
nearly  240  feet  high.  Tlie  ascent 
of  the  towers  and  a  stroll  through 
the  colonnade  that  encompasses  the 
building  are  recommended.  The 
interior  contains  some  grand  fres- 
coes by  Schrandolph,  some  late- 
Gothic  reliefs,  and  an  interesting 
crypt  A  large  number  of  monarchs 
have  been  interred  in  the  cathedral, 
,such  as  Conrad  II.  (1039),  Henry  III. 
(1066),  Henry  V.  (1125).  The  church- 
yard, too,  is  worth  visiting.  It  pos- 
sesses a  large  sandstone  howl,  which 
every  new  bishop  was  required  to 
fill  with  wine,  that  the  citizens  might 
drink  his  health. 

At  the  other  end  of  the  town, 
in  Augustiner  St.,  is  the  ''Museum 
Pfalzischer  Altertiimer"  (Antiquities 
of  the  Palatinate)  a  good  collection, 
deposited,  together  with  a  number 
of  paintings,  in  the  Real  Schule. 
At  the  end  of  Maximilian  St.  is  Alt 
Portel,  an  old  and  beautiful  tower. 
At  the '  end  of  Juden  Gasse  is  a 
13th  cent.  Judenbad.

have  been  vastly  strengthened  since 
the  annexation  to  Germany  in  1871,  are 
among  the  most  powerful  and  interest- 
ing in  the  world.  Moreover,  the  city  is 
one  of  the  handsomest  in  Germany.  Its 
principal  buildings  are  the  following:— 
The  Minster  was  founded  in  the  6th 
cent.,  the  first  building  of  importance 
having  been  erected  in  the  lltb  cent.: 
it  suffered  repeatedly  through  con- 
flagrations;     but      its     Romanesque 


foundations      have     determined     the

to  the  Minster)  contains  a  remarkable 
monument  representing  the  Marshal 
of  Saxony  being  hindered  by  France 
from  stepping  into  a  coffin. 

The  Synagogue,  an  exceptionally 
beautiful  structure  facing  Hotel

by  visitors. 

The  Kaiser  Palast,  erected  from 
Eggert's    designs  in   1880,    the  style

LAND or  the  BLACK  FOREST 
(see  also  roites  33,  34  &c.). 


From  Strasburg  southwards,  the 
country  becomes  more  and  more 
mountainous  in  character.  The  only 
flat  -  district  is  the  narrow  strip  of 
land  lying  between  the  Rhine  and 
the  III  and  traversed  by  the  Rhone 
Canal.  At  the  southern  end  of  this 
tract  of  country,  the  ever-narrowing 
Rhine  Valley  turns  sharply  eastwards, 
and  the  offshoots  of  the  Alps  begin. 
From  Carlsruhe  to  Bale,  the  western 
border  of  this  valley  is  formed  by  the 

9B4 


heights  of  the  Black  Forest;  while 
a  similar  range  of  mountains  to  the 
W.  of  the  111  runs  from  Belfort 
throughout  Alsace  into  the  southern 
part  of  the  Bavarian  Palatinate.  These 
are  the  celebrated  Vosges.  They 
constitute  the  modem  boundary 
between  Germany  and  France,  and 
are  connected  with  the  Jura  Mts.  by 
the  Pass  of.  Belfort.  The  range  is 
divided  into  three  parts,  viz.,  the 
Higher  Vosges,  stretching  northwards 
to  the  Valley  of  the  Leber  and  con- 
taining the  Great  Belchen,  (4,677  feet), 
the  Middle  Vosges,  as  far  as  the 
Marne  Canal,  and  the  Lower  Vosges 
reaching  to  Queich. 

The  last  two  ranges  are  sandstone 
formations  best  visited  from  Stras- 
burg: the  Higher  Vosges  are  of 
granite,  and  lying  to  the  W.  of  Colmar 
and  Mulhausen,  contain  a  number  ot 
famous  'heights  and  passes.

very  beautiful.  Excellent  communi- 
cation with  Hohkonigsburg,  property 
of  the  German  Emperor:  the  building

The  climate  of  the  resort  is  bracing 


and  invigorating,  —  a  characteristic 
due  to  the  proximity  of  extensive 
woods  of  pine,  fir,  beech  and  oak 
as  well  as  to  the  constant  breezes 
which  blow  from  the  mountains.  A 
porous  soil  and  an  excellent  supply  of 
spring-water  also  conduce  to  render 
the  place  exceedingly  healthy. 

At  the  station-end  of  the  town  there 
is  a  park  known  as  the  H err engarten. 
In  the  market-place  stands  a  tower 
of  the  old  fortifications.  Other  inter-

About  10  min.  distant  from  Eappolts- 
weiler  lies  CAB0L4  BATH,  a  spa  well- 
known  for  its  efAoaoy  in  oases  of  gravel, 
stone  &o. 

Together  with  Hohkonigsburg  and 
the  Rappoltsweiler  Castles  it  forms 
one  of  the  chief  sights  of  the  famous 
and  beautiful  Vosges.  At  the  present 
day  the  bath  enjoys  a  world-wide 
repute ;  and  the  recent  enlargement 
and  renovation  of  the  buildings  are 
calculated  to  increase  its  renown. 
Among  the  additions  the  most  notable 
is  the  bottling -house,  an  admirably 
appointed  establishment  connected  by 
a  local  line  with  the  imperial  railway. 
It  is  well  worth  a  visit,  as  the  im- 
pression it  makes  is  not  easily 
forgotten,    the  administration   having

CARLSRUHE,  the  capital  of  the 
Grand  Duchy  of  Baden  is  a  beau- 
tiful and  regularly-built  town  situated 
among  lorest  -  lands  some  5  miles 
from  the  Rhine  and  on  the  skirts 
of  the  Black  Forest.  It  was  founded, 
in  1715,  by  the  Margrave  -  Carl 
William  of  Baden  Durlach ,  who 
erected  a  wooden  chateau  here  among 
the  woods,  through  which  he  had 
roads  cut  in  all  directions.  Round 
the  castle ,  and  at  a  distance  of 
about  1,3C)0  feet,  a  ring -promenade 
was  formed ,  which  gives  to  the 
place,  on  the  map,  the  appearance 
of  a  sun,  the  roads  forming  the 
rays.  The  fifteen  roads  south  of 
Moltke  St.  and  Rindheimer  .^llee 
run  through  the  town:  the  fifteen 
to  the  north  dissect  Hardt  Forest 
and  Fasanen  Garten  (Pheasant  Garden). 
The  former  of  these  is  one  ot  the 
most  beautiful  of  its  kind;  while  the 
latter  is  of  great  interest. 

The  present  castle  was  built  by 
Carl  Frederick   in   1754:    its  splendid

p 


Apartments  contain  a  number  of 
notable  objects,  the  principal  being 
those  of  the  Z&hringer  Museum. 
The  stables  and  a  high  tower  are 
also  open  to  the  public.  Close  by- 
are  the  Schlosskirche ,  the  Hof- 
theater,  and  the  Winter  Garden, 
Between  the  last  two  are  situated 
the  Botanical  Garden  and  the  Orange 
House.     Next  comes  the 

Kunsthalle,  containing  extensive 
collections  of  paintings,  the  most 
valuable  of  which  are  those  hung  in 
room  I  and  cabinet  8,  and  belonging 
respectively  to  the  Dutch  and  modern 
German  schools.  Of  interest  are  the 
pictures  representing  the  local  schools 
of  Alsace  and  Svvabia. 

To  the  left  of  the  building  stands 
the  palace  of  Prince  William:  while 
close  to  the  royal  stables  is  the 
treasury.  In  the  middle  of  Schloss 
PI.  rise*  a  bronze  statue  of  Carl 
Frederick,  from  designs  by  Schwann 
thaler;  hence,  through  Karl  Friedrich 
St,  we  reach  the  Markt  Pi.,  where 
an  artificial  hill,  called  the  Pyramid, 
affords  a  good  view  of  the  town, 
^cross  Markt  PI.  runs  the  principal 
thoroughfare,  named  Kaiser  St., 
closed  at  one  end  by  a  statue  of  the 
Emp,  William  J.,  and,  at  the  other, 
by  the  Catholic  Church.  Passing 
down  Karl  Friedrich  St.,  we  reach 
the  Rondel,  where  the  residence  of 
the  Margrave  stands;  close  by,  at 
Friedrich  PL,  is  a  museum  entitled 
"Gebdude  der  vereinigten  gross- 
herz,  Sammlungen^' :  the  building 
contains  archaeological  and  anthro- 
pological collections,  with  mediseval 
weapons,  art  objects,  stone  monu- 
ments &c. 

From  Carlsruhe,  a  line  of  rail, 
called  the  Albthal-Bahn,  runs  up  the 
beautiful  Alb  Valley,  reaching,  in 
1^2  hours,  the  village  of 

PRAUENALB.

FRAUENALB  is  a  charming  re- 


sort on  the  left  bank  of  the  Alt 
and  celebrated  for  the  ruins  of  b

the  year  1138. 

HRRRENALB. 

HOTELS:  Karhans;  Soanfl}  fitBrii«o« 
HERRENALB  is  a  health-resort 
situated  in  a  charming  valley-  and 
on  both  sides  of  the  Alb,  at  a  spot 
where  several  valleys  converge  to 
form  the  wide  Wiesenihal.  Its  beau- 
tiful position,  surrounded  by  densely 
wooded  heights,  offers  some  most 
delightful  strolls  and  excursions,  and 
draws  to  it,  annually,  some  3,500 
visitors. 

From  Herrenalb  the  road  continues 
via  Dohel  to  Wildbad  (see  Black 
For.  II).  Both  Frauenalb  and  Herren- 
alb are  situated   in  the  Black  Forest. 

BLACK  FOREST. 

This  magnificent  dbirict  —  with 
its  grand  peaks,  its  vast  woodland 
tracts,  its  charming  gkns  and  ravines, 
and  celebrated  spas  —  stretches  from 
Bale  and  Sackingen  on  the  S,  to 
Pforzheim  and  Carlsruhe  on  the  N. 
It  is  bordered  on  two  sides  by  the 
Rhine,  and,  occupying  the  whole  of 
Baden  and  a  part  of  Wurtemberg, 
forms,  perhaps,  the  finest  forest  in 
Europe.  The  district  may  be  ap- 
proached fronj  various  points.  Tourists 
coming  from  the  N.  enter  it  either 
via  Baden  -  Baden  or  Strasburg  end 
Appenweier:  those  coming  from 
Switzerland,  travel  via  Bale  or  Singen 
and  the  Black  Forest  Railway;  or, 
if  the  left  bank  of  the  Rhine  has  been 
followed  to  Miilhausen,  a  branch 
of  rail  is  used  to  Mullheirn  (see  ' 
Bl.  For.  IV).

whose  banks,  the  tree-clad  hiUs  which 
protect  the  town  rise  to  a  height  of 
between  3,000  and  4,000  feet. 

The  climate,  though  very  mild  in 
winter,  is  rendered  somewhat  bracing 
by  the  neighbourhood  of  the  moun- 
tains. For  the  same  reason,  showers 
are  frequent;  but  the  porosity  of  the 
soil,  assisted  by  the  excellent  sanitary 
arrangements,  rapidly  carries  off  the 
superfluous  rain.  The  close  vicinity  of 
the  pine-woods  keeps  the  atmosphere 
constantly  supplied  with  ozone ; 
while  the  fertility  of  the  district 
has  won  for  Baden  the  title  or  the 
Garden   of   Gdrmany.     In    ils    varied 


soil  flourish  the  oak  and  the  beech, 
the  chestnut  and  the  pine,  whose 
changing  tints  make  the  early 
Autumn  the  favourite  season  for 
visiting  the  spa. 

The  town  has  a  resident  population 
of  l6,(iC0;  and  its  many  attractions 
draw  to  it  no  fewer  than  60,000 
visitors  annually :  most  of  these  come, 
of  course^  to  take  the  waters,  to 
which  the  place  owes  its  name,  their 
efficacious  character  having  been  re- 
cognised for  several  centuries.  Their 
main  constituents  are  common  salt, 
chloride  of  Ifthium,  calcijm  arsenides,

during  the  early  hours  of  the  day, 
when  an  excellent  band  plays.  In 
front  of  the  building,  on  a  granite

Emp.  William  I. 

Southwards  of  this  spot  is  the  'Com- 
versation  House ,  a  handsome  edifice 
erected  at  the  time  when  gaming  was 
still  legal,  its  roulette  rooms  being 
now  used  for  receptions  and  the  like. 
The  building  possesses  a  portico  sup- 


ported by  eight  Corinth  an  pillars:  in 
front  of  it,  there  is  a  band-stand^  in 
which  are  given  morning,  afternoon 
and  evening  concerts;  at  these  periods 
of  the  day,  the  grounds  become  the 
rendezvous  of  the  most  aristocratic 
circles;  indeed,  here,  as  in  most  places 
of  the  kind,  the  beautiful  park  and 
gardens  of  the  'Conversation  House* 
form  the  centre  round  which  life  in 
the  spa  concentrates.

The  old  university  city,  with  its 
suburbs  Wiehre,  Herdern,  Haslach  and 
Giinterstal,  has  a  population  of  70,000: 
it  is  the  capital  of  the  Breisgau,  the 
residence  of  the  heir-apparent  and  an 
emporium  for  the  .products  of  the 
Black  Forest;  the  most  important 
industries  being  the  manufacture  of 
buttons,  silk  and  cotton  goods.  Its 
wonderful  situation,  in  a  lovely  val'ey 
surrounded  by  vineyards  and  fertile 
fields,  and  shut-in  by  the  tree-topped 
heights  of  the  Back  Forest,  whose 
fretted  outline  cuts  the  deep  blue  sky, 
has  gained  for  it  the  title  of  the  *'Pearl 
of  Breisgau".  Though  thus  protected, 
it  has  a  bracing  climate,  which,  t'  - 
gether  with  the  beautiful  environs  and 
the  interesting  character  of  the  town 
itself,  renders  it  one  of  the  most 
attractive  resorts  of  the  Blaclc  Forest. 

The  town  possesses  a  quaint  me- 
diaeval aspect;  and  its  many  ancient 
buildings  are  architecturally  and 
historically  interesting.  The  most  not- 
able of  them  are  the  following: — 

CIIUBCHES:  The  Minster,  one  of  the 
handsomest  Gothic  piles  in  Germany, 
is  built,  ior  the  most  part,  of  glowing 
red  sandstone,  though  its  olde&t  parts, 
which  date  back  to  the  12^^  cent.,  are 
of  yellow  sandstone.  The  main  spire  — 
over  400  feetUa  height,  with  ltd  airy  per- 
forated work  and  delicate  tracery  — 
is  considered  by  many  to  be  the  finest 
in  the  world.  The  body  of  the  build- 
inq;  consists  of  a  nave  and  two  aisles, 
with  a  transept  surmounted  by  a 
dome,  and  a  choir  surrounded  by 
numerous  chapels.  Among  the  many 
interesting  antiquities  and  works  of 
art  contained  in  the  interior,  the  most 


striking  is,  perhaps,  the  altar-piece  by 
Hans  Holbein  the  younger  (1520)  in  the 
University  Chapel.  In  the  choir  is 
another  fine  altar-piece  by  Baldung* 
Giien  (loll)  and  also  some  splendid 
stained  glass.  In  the  nave,  close  to  the 
mi  Idle  column  of  the  porch,  there  is  a 
beautiful  early-Gothic  Madonna.  In  the 
aisles,  there  is  some  good  stain ed»g lass, 
mostly  14*i»  cent,  work:  the  left  aisle 
contains  the  so  -  called  Grafenkapelte 
(Count's  Chapel)  with  a  representation 
of  the  Mount  of  OLves  by  Kempf  (1168) 
and  the  tombs  of  the  Archbishops  of 
Freiburg:  in  the  right  aisle  is  the  Chapet 
of  the  Holy  Sepulchre  with,  close  by,  the 
statue  of  Duke  Berthold  V.,  the  last  of 
the  Zfih ringers  (1218).  The  vestibule,

■  Schwabenthor  up  Schlossber.^  (l,o25  ft.). 
The  climb  is  rather  a  steep  one,  but 
}s  rewarded  by  the  beautiful  gimiise 
afforded  of  the  M inciter  from  the  end  or 
the  Iznnaenibal  Road,  near  the  so-oniied 
Kanonen  PI.  Hard  by  are  the  ruins 
of  two  strong  castJes  destroyed  by  the 
French  in  I'i'iA  and  dovv  su' roundel 
by  pretty  gardens.  From  Ludwigsbohe 
(i,SOO  feet),  above  Kanonon  PJ.,  a  fine 
view  ot  the  Dreisam  Valley  with  the 
city  and  the  Rhine  f'Uin  is  obtained.

bergblick  and  Ilohen  Briioke. 

Other  excursions  may  be  combined  with

from  the  Hohen  Brilc.ke,  a  footpatli  leads 
by  Silbermann  Brannen  to  St.  Ottilien. 
Nearly  two  hours  further  is  the  Ross-

L,OR£TTOBEUG,  owing  tO  its 
beautiful  situation  and  good  climate, 
is  one  of  the  most  favoured  spots  in 
the  vicinity  of  Freiburg.  It  has  con- 
sequently been  chosen  as  the  site 
for  a  sanatorium  called  Sanatorium 
Lorettoberg  which  commands  an  un- 
broken view  of  the  city  and  the  sur- 
rounding wooded  heights.  Tranquilly 
located  in  the  midst  of  large  park- 
like grounds,  the  institute  bears  the 
character  of  an  elegant  private  resi- 
dence without  the  slightest  suggestion 
of  hospital  or  hotel  life.  Its  rooms 
are  exceptionally  large,  light  and 
lofty;  its  hygienic  and  sanitary  ar- 
rangements answer  all  modern  re- 
quirements; and  the  woods  in  the 
immediate  neighbourhood  afford  an 
inexhau.stible  variety  of  most  delight- 
jl  walks. 

The  chief  complaints  treated  are: — 

Tvous    affections;    disturbances    in 

etabolism,    e.  g.    gout,     chlorosis; 

seases  of  the  heart  and  bloodvessels; 
jeumatism;  female  compUints;  con- 
alescent     conditions     etc.     (debility, 

ronic  typhlitis  and  the  like).

and  a  choice  is  givea  of  mixed  or 
vegetarian  diet,  where  the  latter  is 
not  peremptorily  prescribed. 

Baths  of  every  description  (electric, 
light,  carbonic  acid  etc.}  as  well  as

BADENWEILER  is  one  of  the 
finest  subalpine  spas  in  Germany: 
it  lies  in  a  charming  spot,  on  the 
north-western  slopes  of  the  Blauen. 
Encircled  by  the  magnificent  hiUs 
and  pine-woods  of  the  Black  Forest, 
its  climate  is  remarkable  for  equability, 
absence  of  local  breezes  and  rarity 
of  bleak  or  of  relaxing  winds. 

These  climatic  conditions ,  com- 
bined with  the  thermal  baths,  make 
this  spa  an  excellent  resort  for 
patients  suffering  from  rheumatism, 
goat,  diabetes,  diseases  of  the  re- 
spiratory organs  &c.,  and  adapt  it 
for  convalescents  and  aged  persons. 
The  baths  are  especially  suitable  in 
cases  of  neurasthenia,  amenorrhcea 
and  dysmenorrhoea. 

Its  chief  building  is  the  Pavilion 
(Kurhaus)  in  a  fine,  well  -  timbered 
park ,  containing  remains  of  old 
Roman  baths.  A  flight  of  steps  leads 
up  to  the  ruins  of  an  ancient  Castle 
on  a  spot  commanding  a  view  of 
the  Rhine  and  the  VoSges.    Opposite

T0E  BEI.CHEN  (Hot.  k.  Belelien) 
is  the  finest  point  in  th3  Black  Forest. 
Although  the  second  in  elevation  (4,000 
feet),  the  view  obtained  irom  its  summit 
is  grander  than  that  from  any  of  its 
sister  heights.  At  its  foot  lie  the 
valleys  of  the  Wiesen,  the  Mdnster  an^ 
the  Bhine;  westwards,  in  the  distance,

8,200  feet  in  height  and  lies  just  within 
the  boundary  of  Wurtemberg,  affording 
a  good  view.  The  descent  may  be 
made  on  the  other  side,  the  road 
soon  joining  a  mountain  beck,  called 
the  Wolf,  and  following  its  course 
past  the  town  of 

RIPP0LD8AU. 

ALTITUDE:  1,8q7  feet. 
HOTELS:  Bippoldsan;  Erbprlns. 

This  little  spa,  beautifully  situated 
in  the  narrow  valley  of  the  Wolf, 
and  surrounded  by  fine,  sweeping 
hills,  which,  clad  with  sweet-scented 
coniier-woods,  present  a  true  Black 
Forest  character. 

The  climate  is  bracing  without 
being  bleak:  the  springs,  four  in 
number,  are  very  useful  in  cases  of 
ansemia,  debility  and  their  conse- 
quent disorders.  They  are  all  of 
them  chalybeate;  but  the  Joseph- 
quelle  contains  less  iron  and  more 
Glauber^s  salts  than  the  others,  and 
is  well  adapted  for  disturbances  of 
the  digestive  organs. 

Rippoldsau  is  connected  by  a  good 
carriage  -  road  with  PRE  UDEN- 
STADT  (see  route  BI.  For.  VIII).

T  HI  BERG,  a  spa  and  mountain-

on  the  Black  Forei»t  Railway  in  the 
very  heart  of  the  Forest. 


Its  fihe  mountain  climate  and  the 
vicinity  of  the  pine-woods  render  it 
very  suitable  in  cases  of  nervous  com- 
plaints and  aflfections  of  the  digestive 
and  bronchial  organs;  while  the  ex- 
ceUent  roads  and  hill-gradients  adapt 
it  admirably  for  the  application  of 
Professor  Oertel's  'terrain  kur'  in  cases 
of  heart-disease.  Surrounded  by  huge 
pine -clad  hiPs,  and  possessing  the 
finest  waterfall  in  Germany,  it  attracts 
annually  over  10,000  *kur*  visitors 
and  some  50,000  tourists,  a  large 
number  of  whom  are  Anglo-Saxons; 
consequently,  although  the  place  is 
so  small,  it  possesses,  besides  its  own 
catholic  and  protestant  churches,  an 
English  place  of  worship.

The  inhabitants  are  mostly  engaged 
in  the  manufacture  of  cuckoo  &  similar 
clocks,  Triberg  being  the  centre  of 
the  B'ack Forest  clock-making  industry. 
These  so-called  Dutch  clocks  are  ex- 
hibited in  the  Gewerbe- Halle,  which 
forms  the  principal  sight  in  the  town. 

From  the  Gewerbehalle,  a  walk  of 

a  few  minutes  leads  to  the  celebrated 

waterfall,  which  is  the  largest  in  Ger- 

y;  the  road  is  indicated  by  sign 

s,  following  whose  direction  one 

1    finds    oneself    on  a  projecting 

5  from  which  an  excellent  view  is 

atned.  Here  the  Gutach  or  Fallback 

:ipitates  a  not  inconsiderable  volume 

water  from  a  height  of  954  feet 

0  the  basin  below,  the  booming  and 

ning  fall  being  broken  into  seven 


grand  cascades  by  the  mighty  granite 
blocks  which  intercept  its  course. 
The  waterfall,  as  well  as  the  town, 
is  illuminated  every  evening  by  elec- 
tric light;  while,  on  Sundays,  Bengal 
fire  is  employed  to  enhance  the  fan- 
tastic effect. 

The  town  possesses  a  band  of  28 
musicians,  playing  every  week-evening 
throughout  the  season.  There  is  also 
a  tennis-lawn;  and  trout-fishing  may 
be  had  in  the  various  streams. 

From  the  left  bank  of  the  Gutaoh,  a 
pretty  footpath  leads  past  the  pavilion 
to  th^  celebrated  Wallfahrtskirehe  or 
Maria  in  der  Tanne.  Other  charming  ex-

FREUDENSTADT,  the  most  elevated 
town  of  Wurtembcrg,  is  situated  on 
a  high  plateau,  and  has  been  named 
the  ''Pearl  of  the  Black  Forest".  It  is 
surrounded  with  enormous  forests  of 
fir  (16,000  acres)  and  bright  green 
meadows  backed  by  the  blue  Swabian 
Alps,  prominent  among  which  are  the 
Hohenzollern  and  the  snow-capped 
mountains  of  Switzerland.  Owing  to 
the  altitude  and  the  vastness  of  the 
forests,  the  air  is  exceptionally  pure 
and  ozoniferous  aqd,  even  at  the 
highest  temperature,  never  still.  The 
extensive  woodland  walks  in  the  im- 
mediate neighbourhood  are  always 
found  to  be  dry.  The  most  famous 
of  them  is  the  Teuchelesweg  with  its 
numerous  seats,  tables,  shelters,  its 
clear  springs  and  water-falls  which 
have  obtained  wide  celebrity  in  the 
fashionable  world. 

Freudenstadt  is  the  chief  starting- 
point  for  the  most  famous  B'acU 
Forest  excursions  :—AIIerheilii»en, Wild- 
see, Mummelsee,  Bad  Rippoldsau,  the 
Renchtal  Spas,  the  Knzigtal,  Kniebis, 
Murgtal  Sankenbach  Waterfalls  &c.  It 
is  also  unrivalled  as  a  resort  for  nerve- 
sufferers  and  for  supplementary  treat- 
ment after  visiting  Carlsbad,  Kissingen, 
Nauheim,  Neuenahr  &c.  The  principal 
ailments  treated  are: —  nervous  com- 
plaints, affections  of  the  heart,  anaemia, 
obesity  And  diabetes. 

There  are,  in  Freudenstadt,  a 
sanatorium  for  nervous  complaints, 
5  physicians,  2  pharmacies  and  a 
hospital  in  modern  style  with  medicinal 
baths  (electric  baths,  faradisation 
&c.).  Supplementary  hereto  is  the 
Bothner'sche  Badeanstalt  with  vapour,

tranquillity,  there  is  no  want  of  enter- 
tainment. It  posses5es  a  *Cur'  Theatre 
(Manag.  Robert);  woodlanci  fetes  are 
arranged;  there  are  three  'Cur'  Bands; 
and  good  fishing,  shooting  and  lawn- 
tennis  is  to  be  had.  The  tables  of 
such  leading  hotels  as  Waldlust, 
Schwarzwald  Hotel,  Hotel  Post  &c. 
are  among  the  most  famous  in  the 
Black  Forest.  .Altogether  the  town 
contains  35  hotels  &  boarding-houses 
and  some  200  private  flats.  It  has 
an  excellent  water-supply,  electric 
works,  and  sewering;  and  the  roads 
are  .regularly  watered,  —  advantages 
.  which  render  it  an  international  resort 
much  frequented  by  Americans. 

Freudenstadt  was  founded  in  1599 
by  Duke  Frederick  L,  who  settled 
a  number  of  protestant  refugees  here 
'from  Salzburg.  It  is  built  in  the  form 
of  a  square,  and  is  a  wealthy  industrial 
town  possessing  8,000  acres  of  timber. 

The  market  place,  with  an  area  of 
4Vi  hectares,  is  surrounded  with  ar- 
cades in  Italian  style,  beneath  which 
there  are  elegant  show-windows. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  build- 
ings of  the  place  is  the  Proiesiant 
urch,  —  a  curious  structure  wiih 
0  naves  placed  at  right  angles  and 

tended   respectively  for  the  use   of 

en  and  women.  The  pulpit  is  situated 
the  junction  of  the  two  parts,  so 

»  to  enable   the   preacher   to  obtain 

view  of  both  his  audiences  at  once; 

bile   they,    themselves,    are    hidden 

e  one  from  the  other.    The  church 


contams  a  Komane?quc  font  (ll^h 
cent.),  a  renowned  crucifix,  26  richly 
gilded  reliefs  with  figures  of  biblical 
characters,  and  some  magnificent 
carved  choir- stalls. 

The  Catholic  Church  contains  a 
fine  altar  in  Italian  Renaissance.  A 
third  church"  is  the  Friedenskirche 
of  the  Methodists. 

High  above  the  whole  stands  the 
Herzog-Friedrichs  Turm,  a  flagged 
tower  perched  on  the  Kierberg  (2,626 
ft.)  and  visible  for  a  great  distance.

There  are  verv  various  ways  leading 
from  Titisee  to  Feldberg;  but  it  is  usual 
to  take  the  coach,  which  runs  daily. 


FELDBERG.  - 

Feldberg  is  the  highest  point  in  the 
Black  Forest,  and  indeed,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  Schneekoppe  (5^0  feet), 
the  highest  of  the  German  Mittelgebirgen. 
Its  long  and  giant  form,  with  its  Ave 
lateral  oranches.  determines  clearly  the 
configuration  of  the  southern  half  of 
the  Black  Forest.  The  principal  peaks 
are  Seebnck  (4.758  feet),  to  the  east, 
Baldenweger  Unck  (4.798  feet),  to  the 
north,  and  "Hochste"  (4,9X0  feet'.  On 
the  hrst  of  these'  stands  a  Bismarck 
Monument;  while,  on  the  last,  there  are 
an  outlook  tower  ("13  feet  in  height)  and 
a  hotel  called  ^Zam  Peldbergthnrai*'. 
The  cliff^d  are,  on  all  sides,  precipitous, 
and  present  us,  as  we  traverse  the 
mountain  ridge,  with  varying  scenery 
of  a  bold  and  rugged  character.  On  the 
northern  slope  ot  the  Feldberg  and  985  ft. 
below  Seebuck,  lies  Feldsee,  black  with 
the  shadows  of  the  surrounding  cliffs. 
It  has  a  maximum  depth  of  106  feet,  and 
is  fed  by  the  Wutach,  falling  in  mighty 
cascades  from  the  depression  between 
Seebuck  and  Baldenweger  Buck.  These 
waters  leave  the  lake  on  the  east  as 
the  Seebaeh.  Three  other  streams,  the 
Alb)  the  IViese  and  the  Dreisany  also 
have  their  sources  on  Feldberg. 

The  frlopes  and  spurs  of  the  mountain 
up  to  an  altitude  of  4,4H0  feet,  are  co- 
vered with  luxuriant  undergrowth ;  while 
the  bald  summit  commands  a  magni- 
ficent view.  In  the  foreground  lies  the 
Black  Forest  with  numerous  valleys 
and  heights;  sharp  and  rugged  s:and 
out  the  Kaue  Alp  and  Hegauer  Kegel; 
beyond  appears  the  long  and  picturesque 
line  of  the  Vosges,  and  in  the  distance, 
the  mighty  Alpine  groups,  peak  on  peak 
in  sharp  and  serri«*d  array,  from  the 
Zngspitze  to  Mont  Blanc. 

in  winter  th«  hotels  are  much  fre- 
quented by  skiers. 

The  principal  approaches  to  Feldberg 
are  the  carriage  roads  from  Titisee,  Todt- 
naui/W.&  St.  Blasien.  Besides  these,  how- 
ever, there  are  numerous  delightful  forest 
1  oads,  such  as  those  coming  from  the  vari- 
ous stations  of  the  Hollenthal  Railway. 

Moreover,  the  choice  of  excursions  is 
not  less  extensive,  the  favourite  being 
to  Herzogenhorn,  Spieshorn,  Silberberg, 
Schaoinsland,  Belchen,  and  to  the  in- 
dustrial towns  or'  Todtuau,  Reman.

B«ijig  quite  open  to  the  S.  &  S.E  ,  its 
clitnate  combines  alt  the  advantages 
of  a  forest  and  mountain  retreat. 

Besides  the  principal  building,  there  are 
a  physician's  residence,  administrative 
offices  and  an  engine-house  in  the  valley. 

The  chief  structure  consists  of  a  five- 
Jitoried  main  building,  with  patients' 
roomSf  and  two  wings  containing  re- 
spectively the  hydrotherapeutic  rooms 
&c.,and  the  offices,  dining-hall  &  kitchen. 

In  this  way  the  highly  important 
principle  of  separating  all  subsidiary 
rooms  from  the  others  has  been 
strictly  observed. 

In  front  of  the  central  building  is  the 
resting  pavilion,  80  metres  long  and 
with  two  wings  running  out  at  an  angle 
to  the  south.  Below  the  pavilion  is  a 
promenade  of  the  same  length.  In  the 
surroundmg  grounds  two  more  resting 
pavilions  have  been  erected.  On  the 
ground-floor  of  the  central  building  are 
the  elegantly  furnished  reception  rooms, 
concert -hail,  drawing-room,  library, 
reading-room  &c.  —  all  of  them  facing 
south.  The  physician's  house  contains 
the  doctors'  private  apartments  and 
fourteen  rooms  for  patients.  All  the 
upper  floors  consist  exclusively  of  the 
patients'  bedrooms.  Altogether,  the  sa- 
natorium contains  ninety-eight  rooms, 
not  a  single  one  of  which  faces  north. 

The  establishment  has  its  own  supply 
of  spring- water,  sewerage  system  wi:h 
disinfecting  apparatus,  low-pressure 
heating  and  electric  light.  The  principle 
of  cleanhness  and  disinfection  is  strictly 
enforced  throughout.  The  walls  are  hung 
half-way  up  with  washable  hygienic 
paper:  the  floors  are  covered  with  lino- 
leum; electric  bells  &  telephone  are  flited 
to  all  parts  of  the  house;  and  the  prin- 

al   building   contains  hydraulic  lift. 

[!he  onrative  treatment  is  stciotly  in- 

idnalistic,  being  based  on  the  method 
vised  by  Brobmer  and  Dettweiler  and 

proved   by   Turban.    The   head   phy-

Lying  at  the  junction  of  two 
elevated  valleys  of  the  southern  Black 
Forest,  with  an  excellent  porphyiy 
and  granite  subsoil,  the  place  is  soon 
freed  from  snow  and  rain,  especially 
as  its  situation  is  a  sunny  one.  These 
characteristics,  together  with  the  pro- 
tection afforded  by  the  neighbouring 
Peldberg,  render  it,  even  in  May 
and  June,  -  exceedingly  suitable  for 
patients  suffering  from  complaints  of 
the  nervous  system  or  of  the  organs 
of  respiration  or  circulation. 

The  resort  is  surrounded  by  fine 
sylvan  scenery  and  grand  hills.  The 
walks  in  the  vicinity  extend  for  several 
miles,  and  are  not  only  well-kept  but 
have  a  constantly  varying  gradient,  and 
are  supplied  with  over  400  seats. 
■/4  hr.  suffices  to  reach  points  of  view 
commanding  whole  ranges  of  mountains 
including  the  highest  peaks  of  the  Black 
Forest.  For  10  years  the  late  Grand 
Dnke  of  Baden  and  his  consort  honoured 
the  institute  with  their  regular  visits. 
The  neighbourhood  offers  first-rate 
opportunities  for  shooting  and  trout- 
fishing.  Besides  the  Kurhaus,  which 
is  open  from  15th  May  till  1st  October, 
and  has  a  fine  fountain  playing  in 
the  grounds,  the  most  noteworthy 
buildings  are  the  Hall  of  Industry 
(Gewerbehalle),  and  the  stately  Church, 
—  the  latter  built  by  Ixnard  in  1783 
on  the  lines  of  the  Pantheon  at  Rome. 
The  Church  is  a  beautilul  Barocco 
building  surmounted  by  a  cupola  and 
now  undergoing  restoration.

The  Hydropathic  Establishment  of  the 
Hotel  Sc  Kurhaus  Si.  Blasien,  whose 
beautiful  situation,  as  indicated  above,

in  Germany.  It  contains  compartments 
for  ladies  and  gentlemen,  with  mud, 
saline  &  electric  baths,  gymnasium  &c. 
Bordering  the  forest  there  are  light  and

supplied  with  electric  light,  and  con- 
tains 30  rooms,  to  nearly  all  of  which 
there  are  covered  balconies.  The 
cuisine  is  under  the  direction  of  the 
physician,  whereby  the  diet  is  adapted 
for  the  various  diseases,  such  as 
diabetes  and  complaints  of  the  digestive 
organs.  The  methods  adopted  are 
principally  hydrotherapy,  electricity,

ARMSTADT,  the  capital  of  the 
id  Duchy  of  Hessen,  is  a  regularly 
It  place,  with  the  principal  railway- 
Jon  at  one  end,  and  Rosenhohe 
ion  at  the  other.  Close  by  the 
sr   is  a   fine   lake,   called  Woog, 


into  which  the  river  Darm  falls:  the 
lake  also  serves  for  bathing.  In  the 
centre  of  the  town  stands  the 

Palace,  a  16*h  cent,  edifice  with 
fine  faQade,  beautiful  Renaissance  porch 
and  elegant  tower.  The  building  con- 
tains the  Grand  Ducal  Library  of 
600,000  vol.  and  4,000  MS5:  in  the 
picture  gallery  are  some  fine  paintings 
by  Rembrandt,  van  Dyck,  Rubens  &c. ; 
while,  in  the  upper  story,  there  is  an 
archeeological  museum. 

To  the  S.  of  the  palace  stretches 
the  irregular  Markt  PI.,  embellished 
with  a  fountain  and  surrounded  with 
several  interestmg  buildings.  Here 
stands  the  Rathaus,  a  Renaissance 
structure  erected  in  1568.  At  Markt 
Passage  will  be  found  the  old  palace, 
where  Queen  Louise,  consort  of 
Frederick  William  III.,  was  brought  up. 

Adjoining  the  Markt  PI.  is  Ernst 
Ludwigs  PI.  in  whose  southern  corner

risles  the  White  Tovier,  a  remnant  of 
the  medisB^al  ramparts;  while  in  the 
centre  there  is  a  monument  to  the 
Franco- Prus§iah  War.  ; 

At  the  eastern  end  of  Scbul  St  is 
the  jsretty  !^eal  Gymftasium  With,  close 
by,  the  irregularly  built  Ludwig  Georg 
Gymnasium  and  the  Technical-  High 
School.  The  building  beyond,  with  the 
high  tower,  is  the  "Old  Gy,mnasium". 

From  here,  Hugel  St.  leads  to  the 

New  Palace,  built  in  1862—65 
from  designs  by  Kriauss  of  Mayence. 
It  is  a  graceful  structure  in  Italian 
style,  with  a  particularly  good  fa9ade 
on  the  garden  side.  The  interior 
contains  a  marble  stair- case,  whose 
walls  are  hung  with  Gobelins,  a  room 
with  handsome,  carved  ceiling  and 
very  valuable  tapestry  (*Iphigenia' 
and  'Admiral  Coligny*),  numerous 
paintings  &c.  The  grounds,  which 
were  formerly  the  Botanical  Garden, 
are  very  beautifully  laid-out. 

Following  Wilhelm  SL  southwards, 
we  reach  the  Palais  of  the  late  Prince 
Carl.  It  is  in  Italian  style,  and  the 
situation,  with  its  extensive  view  of 
the  Rhine,  is  very  beautiful.  The  other 
buildings  of  interest,  such  as  the 
Theatre,  Museum  and  the  OhiRathaus, 
lie  close  to  the  Schloss:  the  Govern- 
meni  Building,  and  the  Palais  are  in 
Luisen  St.  The  Herrengarfen,  beyond 
the  Theatre,  Mathilden  Hohe  and 
Rosenhohe  (Palais  and  MausoUnm) 
are  also  worth  visiting. 

In  the  south  of  the  town  are  the 
Grand -Ducal  Garden  and  the  Grand- 
Ducal  Orangery. 

The  environs  of  Darmstadt  are  ex- 
ceedingly beautiful,  the  country  being 
undulating  and  covered  with  woods  of 
various  kinds.  An  extensive  railway 
system  gives  access  to  meuay  places  of 
interest  and  renders  the  town  an  ad- 
mirable centre  for  numerous  charming 
excursions.

STUTTGART  is  the  capital  of 
Wiirtemberg  and  the  residence  of  the 
king,  and  vies  with  Leipsic  as  a  centre 
of  the  printing  and  publishing  trades. 
Moreover,  both  in  situation  and  in 
architecture,  it  ranks  among  the  finest 
towns  in  Germany.  Its  principal 
buildings  are  the  following: — 

The  Rcsidenz  Schloss,  standing  close 
to  the  fine  broad  street  called  KonigSt, 
which  runs  for  a  length  of  over  ^/^  of 
a  mile  through  the  centre  of  the  town. 
The  edifice  is  a  fine  specimen  of  the 
Renaissance,  erected  1746—1807.  It 
consists  of  a  main  building  with  two 
wings,  and  is  surmounted  by  an 
enormous  gilded  crown.  Its  360  odd 
rooms  contain  some  beautiful  fres- 
coes and  a  large  number  of  paintings, 
some  fine  statuary  (Dannecker,  Thor- 
waldsen  &c.)  and  a  quantity  of  valu- 
able porcelain.     Near  it  is 

The  Old  Schloss,  a  somewhat  irre- 
gularly built  edifice,  erected  in  1553, 
whose  courtyard  is  embellished 
with  an  equestrian  statue  of  Count 
Eberhardl  im  Bart  the  first  Duke  of 
Wurtemberg.  Close  by  is  the  Academy, 
beyond  which  are  the  Royal  Library 
(500,000  volumes,  4,000  MSS.)  and 
the  Record  Office  containing  a  col- 
lection of  minerals  and  palaeontological 
antiquities.  The  building  beyond  is  the 
Konig  Wilhelm  Palais;  while,  passing 
along  Neckar  St  in  the  reverse  direc- 
tion, we  reach 

The  Hnaeam  of  Arty  which  contains, 

^Dg    its    statnes,    a    large    bust    of 

ller  by  Dannecker,  the  celebrated 
I  sculptor:  the  locks  are  said  to 
)  been  chiselled  off  by  the  sonlptor 
D£f  a  fit  of  insanity.  The  pictare 
)ry  is  very  extensive  and  valnable. 
contains  specimens  of  many  varions 
ols.  Opposite  the  building  htands  the 
9  behind  which  lies  the  beaatiful

This  ancient  city  lies  on  the  Danube, 
between  Wtirtemberg  and  Bavaria,  and 
was  once  a  free  city,  whose  former  im- 
portance is  still  recognisable  in  the 
character  of  its  buildings  and  fortifica- 
tions. These  latter,  however,  have  been 
in  recent  years  to  a  large  extent  de- 
molished and  modem  forts  ere -ted  out- 
side the  old  city. 

Ulm's  finest  edifice  is  its  celebrated 

Minster,  in  the  centre  of  the  city.  It 
is  a  beautiful  Qothic  structure  second 
in  sise  to  Cologne  Cathedral  only.  The 
foundations  were  laid  in  1877,  and  the 
building  completed  towards  the  close  of 
the  15th  cent.  The  finest  part  is  the  tower 
in  the  middle  of  the  western  facade:  the 
interior  contains  some  beautiful  paint- 
ings, some  excellent  16tlt  cent,  wood- 
carving  and  an  enormous  organ,  —  the 
largest  in  Germany.  The  church-tower 
affords  a  magnificent  view.  Among  other 
important  buildings  are  the  W^  cent. 
Bathsns,  the  so -called  Xene  Baa  (1590), 
the  Indastrial  Museum  (Tauben  Gasse), 
the  Weinhof  and  Trinity  Church. 

Some  distance  beyond  Ulm,  the  rail 
passes  through  the  small  but  ancient 
and  inteiesting  town  of  Biberach, 
and  reaches,  about  15  miles  further, 
Anlendorf  Jonetion.  Twelve  miles  be-

This  is  a  busy  town  situated  on 
the  shores  of  the  Lake  of  Constance 
with  a  railway  station  at  the  harbour, 
whence  steamboats. run>  several  times 
daily,  to  the  various  other  towns 
bordering  the  lake.  The  place  c6n- 
tains  a  collection  of  antiquities  (many 
of  them  prehistoric),  which  have  been 
gathered  together  by  the  Bodensee 
Vercin.  Moreover,  in  the  Castle  will 
be  found  a  number  of-  modern  paint- 
ings; while,  froEH^Jiiedel  Park,  a  good 
view  of  the  lake  and  the  surrounding 
districts  is  obtained. 

Besides'the  above- mentioned  steam- 
boat lines,  there  is  now  a  railway  al- 
most encircling  the  lake.  Among  other 
places  to  which  it  gkVes  access  is

LINDAU,  the  terminus  of  the  Ba- 
varian State  Railway,  is  charmingly 
situated  on  an  island  in  the  Lalce  of 
Constance,  with  whose  shore  it  is  con- 
nected by  two  bridges.  The  view  of 
the  resort  from  either  of  these  or  from 
the  mainland  is  extremely  picturesque; 
while  the  panorama  of  the  lake  and 
its  surroundings  is  almost  unrivalled. 
Countless  Alpine  peaks  rise  one  above 
the  other,  the  most  striking  summits 
being  the  Pfander,  the  Gebhardt  Mts., 
the  Vorarlberg  Range  to  the  Rhine 
Valley,     the     mighty    and     glaciered 


Scesaplana  and  Santis;  while  down 
the  lake  appear  the  romantic  Hohen- 
wiel  and  its  satellites. 

The  town  has  also  pre.seFved,  in  an 
unusual;  degree,  its  quaint,  old-world 
appearance.  Several  of  its  buildings 
are  of  great  interest,  e.  g.,  the  vener- 
able old  Raihaus  (dating  back  to  the 
15th  cent.),  the  Reichsb  111  tt  ft  en  8cc, 

Moreover,  Lindau  forms  the  nucleus 
of  vast  international  traffic,  and  is  a 
very  suitable  spot  to  stay  at  when 
making  lengthy  Continental  tours.  It 
is  the  junction  of  three  railway  lines, 
which  afford  communication  with 
North  Germany,  Holland,  Belgium, 
France,  Switzerland  and  Italy.  The 
Bodensu  GiirUl  Bahn  referred -to 
above  establishes  the  connection 
between  Lindau  and  Friedrichshafen, 
Ueberlingen,  Radolfzell  and  Bale. 
Direct  steamer  routes  to  Switzerland 
enable  passengers  to  proceed  to  Italy. 
Ninety-six  steamboats  enter  artd  leave 
Lindau  Harbour  daily;  while,  also. 
daily,  one  hundred  and  twenty  trains 
cross  the  railway  embankment  (1,800

CONSTANCE  was  at  one  time  a 
free  imperial  city,  but,  after  being 
incorporated  in  Austria,  became,  in 
1805,  a  town  of  the  Duchy  of  Baden. 
It  is  situated  at  the  efflux  of  the 
Rhine  from  the  lake  to  which  the 
town  has  given  its  name,  but  which 
is  also  called  Bodensee.  The  place  was 
formerly  the  see  of  a  bishop;  and  its 


Cathidral  still  forms  its  most  im- 
portant edifice.  It  was  founded  in 
1062,  the  original  building  having 
been  a  cruciform  basilica:  this  was, 
however,  completely  remodelled  in  the 
1 'th  cent  V- and  during  the  middle  of 
the  19fch  cent.,  its  Gothic  spire,  with 
fretted-work,  was  added  from  designs 
by  Hiibsch.  From  this  tower  a  fine 
view  of  the  town  and  the  lake  is 
obtained.  The  interior  of  the  building 
contains,  in  Ihe  nave,  a  stone  with 
a  white  spot  in  the  centre  which 
is  said  to  remain  dry  while  the  sur*

THE   MOST  UNIQUE   HOTEL   IN   EUROPE. 

BI.  BRVBTNEB,  GENERAL  MANAGER. 


The  Stadtkanzlei,  built  in  Renais- 
sance style,  in  1593,  possesses  a 
fa9ade  embellished  with  frescoes  by 
Froschle  and  Wagner  in  1 864 :  it 
contains  the  city  archives  and  some 
further  frescoes  in  the  second  storey. 

The  Kaufhaus,  erected  in  1388, 
possesses  an  enormous  Sessions 
Room  supported  by  ten  large  wooden 
pillars. 

The  Grand  Ducal  Gallery,  41 
Wessenberg  St.  (open  9—12  &  2— 5) 
contains  a  collection  of  paintings  and 
is  the  depository  of  the  municipal 
collection  of  prints. 

The  Rdsgarien  Museum,  5  Ros- 
garten  St.,  possesses  a  collection  of 
r>rehistoric  and  antiquarian  objects. 

John  Huss^s  House,  64  Hussen  St. 

Between  the  Rhine  Bridge  and  the 
Stadtgarten  lies  an  island  known  as 
'The  Isle**.   It  is  reached  by  a  bridge 


from  Eisenbahn  St.,  and  is  remarkable 
for  its  remains  of  an  ancient  church 
now  converted  into  a  fine  hotel  fai 
which  the  old  relics  have  been  well 
preserved.  The  associations  of  the 
island  date  back  to  the  earliest  times, 
the  spot  having  served  as  a  Roman 
bulwark  against  the  Allemanni  who 
destroyed  the  Castle  built  as  an  out- 
post in  A.  D.  292.  A  few  years  before, 
St  Pelagius  had  met  martyrdom  on  the 
spot ;  and  subsequenlly  the  German 
tribes  obliterated  all  traces  of  Roman 
and  Christian  influence. 

In  the  course  of  time  Christianity, 
which  had  slumbered  in  the  sur- 
rounding district,  awoke  to  fresh 
activ  ty,  and,  after  passing  through 
various  vicissitudes,  the  island  was 
transferred  by  Bishop  Henry  I.,  in  1236, 
to  the  Dominicans.  These  skilful 
architects   proceeded  to   erect  a  large 


823 


2i*' 


and  handsome  church  and  convent 
in  the  Transitional  style.  The  main 
parts  of  this  edifice  are  still  extant, 
the  nave  and  aisles  having  been  con- 
verted into  a  fine  dining- hall;  white 
other  parts  have  been  left  practically 
untouched  or  have  been  merely  re- 
stored or  beautified.  Of  these  the 
most  remarkable  are  the  Cloisters  con- 
sisting of  stone-pillars,  ogival  arches 
and  graceful  Romanesque  columns. 
A  number  of  17*h  century  frescoes, 
with  which  it  had  been  decorated, 
have  been  removed  and  replaced  by 
a  fine  series  of  paintings,  representing 
episodes  from  the  history  of  the  is- 
land and  executed  by  Professor  Carl 
Haberlin  of  Stuttgart. 

A  porch,  flanked  by  two  beautiful 
Transitional  windows,  gives  access  to 
the  refectory,  remarkable  for  its  an- 
cient wainscoting  and  humorous  in- 
scriptions. Standing  close  to  the 
refectory  and  forming  part  of  the 
eastern  front  of  the  hotel  is  the  small 
but  extremely  interesting  Huss  Tower.

The  favourite  exourcdon  is  to 

Tbe  Isle  of  ]lalnsa>  a  beantifal  spot 
iVs  hours  distant  f^m  Constance,  and 
connected  with  the  mainland  by  a  long 
bridge.  Its  old  castle  was  rebuilt  by 
the  late  Orand  Duke  of  Baden;  but 
an  ancient  cross  on  its  southern  side 
indicates  that  the  island,  which  lies 
like  a  gem  in  tbe  green  waters  of 
the  lake,  once  belonged  to  an  order  of 
German  Chivalry.

This  university  town  and  favourite 
health-resort  ia  beautifully  situated  at 
the  confluence  of  the  Neekary  the  Stein- 
baeh  and  tbe  Ammer.  The  older  parts 
of  the  plaee  are  uninviting;   but  the 


more  modem  districts  are  beautifully 
laid-out;  and  the  neighbourhood  of  the 
Black  Forest,  with  its  delightful  excur- 
sions and  fine  hills  and  vIewSi  renders 
the  town  ver;^  attractive.  Moreover^ 
many  of  its  buildings  possess  consider- 
able historical  and  artistic  interest.  In 
the  Stlftsklrche^  there  are  some  good 
stained-glass  and  a  number  of  monu- 
mental tombs.  Among  the  latter  is  that 
of  Count  Eberhard,  (1406),  the  foander  of 
the  University.  This  last  is  situated 
near  the  church,  and  is  celebrated  for 
its  eonneotion  with  Melancbthou:  it  ia 
also  famous  for  its  chairs  of  theology 
and  medicine,  and  possesses  some  gO)a 
oollectioriS  and  a  number  of  interesting 
and  valuable  pictures,  including  a  Cor- 
regglo  and  a  MarilJo. 

Near  Neckar  Bridge  is  Uhland's 
House,  where  the  poet  died  in  1862: 
his  remains  are  interred  in  the 
churchyard,  the  spot  being  marked 
with  a  granite  stone.  A  monument 
to  him  has  been  erected  near  the 
station. 

The  Rathaus  is  a  15th  cent,  building, 
restored  in  1877.  A  road  leads  from 
here  up  to  Schloss  Hohentubitfgen, 
high  above  the  town.  It  was  erecied 
in  1535  by  DuTie  Vlrich,  being  a 
Renaissance  structure  with  a  richly- 
ornamented  porch,  and  containing 
a  Library,  an  Observatory,  and  a 
Dungeon  with  a  deep  well  and  an 
enormous  tun.  From  the  ramparts 
behind  the  castle  a  beautiful  view 
is  obtained ;  while  other  spots  in 
the  vicinity  also  offer  delightful  pro- 
spects of  the  Black  Forest  and  the 
Suabian  Alps.

Springs  and  equable  climate  have 
rendered  it  the  leading  spa  in  Bavaria 
and,  indeed,  one  of  the  most  cele- 
brated in  Europe. 

It  contains  sev^eral  springs  with  a 
very  high  yield  and  of  a  remarkably 
effective  character. 

THE  WATERS  AS  A  BEVERAQE.- 
Kissingen  possesses  four  drinking  foun- 
tains, namely, the  Rakoczy,  the  Patt^ur^ 
the  Maxbrnnnen  and  Booklet  Stahl- 
hruunen:  while  Kissifiger  Bitter^ 
fvasser  and  the  Soles prudel  are  also 
in  use. 

THE  WATERS  AS  BATHS.-  One 
of  the  above,  the  Pandur,  is  also  use  J 
for  bathing;  but  there  are  two  special 
springs  for  this  purpose,  namely: — 
the  Salinensprudel^  delivering,  per 
minute,  550  litres  of  salt  and  2000  to 
6000  litres  of  carbonic  acid ;  and  the 
Schonborfisprudelf  delivering,  p6r  mi- 


nute, 600  litres  of  salt  and  4000  to 
6000  litres  of  carbonic  .«cid. 
.CHIEF  GONSTITDENTS.-  The  Kis- 
singen  waters  contain,  as  their  chief 
active  principle,  "sodium  chloride  and 
carbonic  acid,  the  proportion,  both  in 
the  drinking  fountains  and  in  the 
bathing  springs,  being  exceptionally, 
favourable.  A  litre  of  the  former  yields 
•2— -50/0  and  of  the  latter  \%  of  salt 
and  no  less  than  1350  to  1600  cubic 
centimetres  of  carbonic-acid  gas.  Their 
value  is  also  enhanced  by  the  posses- 
son  of  other  chemical  substances  such 
as  purgative  salts,  carbonate  of  iron 
protoxide,  lithium  etc. 

TREATMENT.-  Besides  the  drink- 
ing and  bathing  mentioned  above,  there 
are  "Moor''-baths  from  the  Rhon  peat- 
beds;  Fango-treatment,  air  and  sun 
baths;  a  graduating  house  with  13'^ing- 
out    halls    and    covered    colonnades.

INDICATIONS.—  For  some  hundreds 
of  years  the  Kissingen  treatment  has 
been  recognized  by  the  faculty  as 
exceptionally  effective  in  curing  the 
following  complaints: —  affections  of 
the  stomach  and  intestines,  the  respi- 
ratory organs,  the  heart  and  nerves; 
as  well  as  gout,  sciatica,  rheumatism, 
diseases  of  the  liver  and  kidneys, 
chlorosis,  female  disorders  &c. 
'  ESTABLISHMENTS.-  These  are  of 
a  magnificent  character,  and  are  fitted 
with  the  most  perfect  appliances.  The 
two  principal  are  the  Salinenbad 
and  the  Prinzrcgent  Luifpoldbad. 
The  former  was  remodelled  in  1903 
and  fitted  with  ''Wellenbader'*  and 
every    other     comfort.       The     latter 


was  greatly  extended  in  1905/06  and 
is  now  probably  the  largest  of  its 
kind  on  the  Continent.  It  has  separate 
departments  for  ladies  and  gentlemen, 
with  upwards  of  250  saline,  **Wellen" 
and  "Moor'*  baths  &c.  as  well  as 
a  department  with  graduated  baths 
containing  carbonic-acid  and  sodium 
chloride  in  various  proportions.  It 
has  a  lounge  for  use  after  bathing; 
and  each  department  is  fitted  with 
a  separate  lift. 

Attached  to  the  building,  there  U 
a  new  "Moor'* -Bath  Establishment  in 
Roman  style.  It  contains  25  baths 
with  numerous  dressing-rooms  and 
lounges,  and  includes  the  department 
for  Fango- treatment. 

Besides  the  above  institutes,  there 
are  also  numerous  sanatoriums  for 
complaints  of  the  stomach  and  intes- 
tines, disturbances  of  metabolism 
and  nervous  affections.

ROTHENBURG,  a  very  interesting 
old  town  of  Franconia,  is  situated 
on  the  edge  of  a  high  chalk-plateau 
(1,396  feet),  which  slopes  sharply 
towards  the  Tauber. 

The  position  of  the  town  and 
its  admirable  sanitation  render  it 
exceptionally  salubrious;  though  the 
great  attraction  of  the  place  con- 
sists in  its  having  preserved,  in  so 
remarkable  a  degree,  its  mediaeval 
character. 

Quaint  towers,  Gothic  churches, 
Renaissance  halls  and  well-preserv- 
ed ramparts  present  a  picture 
that  carries  the  mind  forcibly  back 
to  the  days  of  chivalry  and  knight- 
hood. 

On  approaching  the  town  from 
the  station,  we  pass  through  Roder 
Thor,  which,  like  the  other  five 
principal  gates,  gives  direct  access 
to  the  Market  Place,  in  the  centre 
of  the  town.

ODE  RATE  TERMS.  J.  A.  PLOSS,   Prap. 


The  western  side  of  this  square  is 
occupied  by  the  Rathaus»  «n. imposing 
edifice  in  two  parts,  respectively  Re- 
naissance and  Gothic.  The  former 
(begun  in  1572)  faces  the  Markt  PI*, 
and  possesses  a  magnificent  colon- 
nade, gable  &c.:  the  latter  is  a,,  fine 
specimen  "of  early-Gothic  ( 1 240)  and 
has  an  exceedingly  fine  belfry-tower, 
and  an  interesting  but  weather-beaten 
doorway. 

A  little  to  the  north  stands  the 
finest  of  Rothenburg's  eight  churches, 
namely,  St.  James:'  Church,  a  beau- 
tiful specimen  of  Gothic  architecture, 
which,  though  begun  as  early  as 
1373  and  completed  in  1436,  is 
Perpendicular  in  style.  Its  two 
towers  are  each  175  ft,  high,  but 
the  northern  one  is  much  more  elegant 
than  its  companion. 

The  interior  contains  numerous 
beautiful  carvings,  especially  on  the 
columns,  as  well  as  three  altars,  of 
which  the  high-altar,  with  its  fine 
screen  and  back-ground  of  stained- 
glass  windows,  produces  a  very  ele- 
vating impression. 

Another  interesting  church  is  the 
Franziskatterkirche  in  Herren  Gasse 
near  Burg  Gate.  The  building,  to- 
gether with  the  neighbouring  cloisters, 
was  completed  in  1282,  being  an 
early-Gothic  structure  of  very  pure 
and  severe  type. 

The  preservation  of  its  ancient 
walls  and  buildings,  Rothenburg  owes, 
in  large  part,  to  the  Burgomaster 
who  by  a  mighty  draught  of  wine 
redeemed  the  town  from  Tilly. 

Some  of  the  best  pieces  of  the 
old  town- wall  are  to  be  seen  at 
Klingen  and  Cobolzeller  Gates,  near 
the  former  of  which  is  the  old 
dungeon-tower.

AUGSBURG,  where  the  peace  of 
1555  was  signed,  possesses  numerous 
historical  mementoes,  the  principal 
buildings  being  the  following: — 

The  Cathedral,  a  Gothic  structure 
consisting  of  a  nave  and  double 
aisle^,  and  containing  an  old  epis- 
copal chair  of  stone,  an  altar-piece 
by  Holbein  the  elder  and  some  11*^ 
cent,  glass. 

The  Rathaus  is  a  fine  Renaissance 
edifice  containing  busts  of  the  Roman 
Emperors,  one  of  the  late  Emperor 
Frederick  &c.  In  the  second  story, 
there  is  a  large  and  handsome  apart- 
ment called  the  "Goldener  Saal"; 
while  the  rooms  attached  have  beau- 
tiful wooden  ceilings.  Opposite  the 
building  stands 

Fugger  House,  once  belonging 
to  merchant  princes,  whose  portraits 
appear  in  the  frescoes. 

The  Maximilian  House,  a  Renais- 
sance building,  contains  local  collec- 
tions of  Roman  antiquities  and  spe- 
cimens of  medieval  coins  ^c.

St.  Ulrichskirche,  possesses  three  fine 
Renaissance  altars,  a  bronse  orooifiz, 
and  a  chapel  containing  the  tomb  of 
Hans  Fugger.  In  the  building,,  formerly

MUNICH  is  Che  capital  of  the 
Ktrrgdoin  o(  Bavafwh  and -a  fine  okl 
city  with  a  pop*  of  over  538.000, 
the  larger  pniportion  of  whom  are 
Roman  CalhoUci^.  It  was  founded^ 
prabably,  at  the  close  of  the  11*^ 
centi  and  was  surrounded  with  a 
wall  and  raise^J  to  the  status  of 
u  town  by  Henry  the  Lion,  in  1164. 
Visited  by  a  severe  conflagrbtion  in 
the  year  1327,  it  was  rebuilt  and 
extended  by  the  Emperor  Ludwig 
the  Bavarian.  An  important  epoch 
in  the  development  of  the  place 
followed ,  Itafian  workmen  being 
introduced  to  assist    in   the  erection 


of  a  Library,  Treasury,  Picture  Gal- 
lery and  other  important '  buildings. 
Some  200  years  feler,  -the  Elector 
Maximilian  added  it  ^niagnificent  pa- 
lace, which  still  forms- ,  part  of  the 
present  building:  thd  saipe  monarch 
embellished  the  place  with  bronze 
monuments,  erected  the.  Joseph,  and 
Herzog  Spita^,  and  fortified  the 
new  walls  and  ramparts.  Indeed, 
the  rulers  of  Bavaria  have  spared 
neither  pains  nor  expense  to  render 
their  capital  both  beautiful  and  at- 
tractive; and,  during  the  reigns  of 
Maximilian  Joseph  I.  and  his  son 
Ludwig  L    (1825—1848),    the    place

which  no  American  tourist  should

.s  an  industrial  town,  Munich  is 
crated  principally  for  its  enorm- 
breweries,  which,  indeed,'  form 
of  the  attractions  of  the  place;

now  turn  to  the  right  down  Pfand-

the  Kunstj^ewerbehaus ,  a  Renais-

containing  a  beautiful  apartment  em- 
bellished with  pictures  by  Kaulbach. 
On  Promenade  PI.,  wh-ch  we  now

The  street  beyond  is  Maffei  St.,  one 
of  the  busiest  spots  in  Munich:  it 
leads  to  Theatiner  St.,  where  we 
turn  to  the  left  and  take  the  first 
turning  rightwards  .to  Max  Joseph  PI., 
the  centre  of  the  modem  city  and 
|he   nucleus    of    its    traffic.     In    the 


middle  or  the  square,  there  is  a  statue 
of  hfaximilian  Joseph  /.  in  a  sitting 
posture,  designed  by  the  celebrated 
Rauch.  Behind  the  statue  rises  the 
Hof  and  National  Theater,  a  hand- 
some building  in  Corinthian  style, 
with  an  auditorium  capable  of  seat- 
ing 2,400  persons;  and  the  interior 
of  which  is  excellently  appointed.

last    is    a    plain    building    of    great 
solidity,  erected  from  Reitenstiil's  de-

Visitors  are  shown  over  the  building,

with  some  fine  stone  -  carving.  Ad- 
jacent hereto  is  the 

Hof'  und  StaatS'Bibliothek  (Court 
and  State  Library):  it  is  an  imposing 
building  in  Florentine  style,  possessing 
a  handsome  facade  and  a  fine  flight  of 
steps  embellished  with  statues  of 
Thucydides,  Homer,  Aristotle  and 
Hypocrates.  The  Library,  which  was 
founded  by  Duke  Albert  V.,  is  one  of 
the  most  celebrated  in  Europe,  and  con- 
tains, in  its  77  rooms,  over  1,300,000 
vols,  dnd  more  than  30,000  MSS. 
The  building  in  which  it  is  lodged 
was  erected  under  King  Ludwig  L 
from  designs  by  Gartner.  A  few 
steps  further,  and  on  the  same  side 
of  the  way,  is 

Ludwigskirchc,  likewise  designed 
by  Gartner:  it  is  in  Italian  style,  and  the 
porch  is  embellished  with  statues  of 
the  four  Evangelists  by  Schwanthaler. 
The  interior  contains  a  celebrated 
fresco  of  the  Day  of  Judgement:  it 
is  the  most  important  of  Cornelius' 
pictures  (cf.  Diisseldorf);  while  the 
other    paintings    in    the   building   are 


also  from  his  designs.  Opposite  is 
another  of  Gartner's  erections,  namely, 
the  Institute  for  the  Blind, 

A  few  paces  further,  we  reach  a 
square  containing  two  fountains:  the 
buildings  on  our  right  are  the  Clerical 
Seminary  and  a  Reformatory,  The 
other  side  of  the  square  is  occupied 
by  the  University,  which,  founded 
at  Ingolstadt  in  1472,  was  after- 
wards transferred  to  Landshut  and, 
finally,  in  1826,  to  Munich.  Its 
present  lodgment  was  built  in  1838, 
and  is  another  of  Gartner's  erections: 
its  library,  in  the  2iid  storey,  contains 
over  300,000  volumes.  The  street 
ends,  nominally,  at  ^ 

Sieges  Thor,  a  handsome  gateway 
erected  under  King  Ludwig  I.,  and 
dedicated  by  him  to  the  Bavarian 
Army.  It  divides  Munich  from  the 
suburb  of  Schwabing,  and,  of  course, 
faces  towards  the  latter.  Its  architect 
was  Gartner;  while  the  group  of 
lions  with  'Bavaria',  is  by  Wagner.

of  Porcelain*  including  207  painted 
tablets,  72  plates,  and  2  vases  upon 


which  have  been  reproduced,  by  14 
artists,  some  beautiful  copies  of  cele-

Pinakoihek.  But  the  main  collection 
is  the  Picture  Gallery,  which  con-

of  the  18th  and  19*h  centuries:  in

and  King  Maximilian  II.,  and  a  likeness

in  1836  for  the  reception  of  the 
extensive  collections  of  old  master- 
pieces which  had  been  gathered  to- 
gether by  the  Elector  Karl  Theodor. 
The  rooms  are  numbered  from  £. 
to  W.,  and  contain,  in  the  eastern 
wing,  the  salon  of  the  founder  and 
of  the  Cologne  and  Rhenish  Schools;

these,  there  runs  along  the  S.  side 
a  colonnade  named  the  Loggien  des 
Cornelius,  so-called  from  its  being 
decorated  with  a  series  of  frescoes 
executed  by  Zimmermann  from  designs 
by  the  great  Dusseldorf  artist.  These 
frescoes  represent  the  growth  of  art 
in  Italy,  Germany,  the  Netherlands

It  was  built,  as  a  Jesuits'  college, 
at  the  close  of  the  16th  cent.,  and 
is  consequently  peculiar  in  form, 
consisting,  namely,  of  a  nave  and 
transept,  but  without  aisles:  the 
nave  is  some  270  feet  long,  with 
remarkable  vaulting,  having  a  span 
of  110  feet  and  a  diameter  of  over 
82  feet.     The  church   contains   some 


beautiful  tombs,  of  which  the  finest 
is  that  of  Eugen  Beauharnais  (by 
Thorwaldsen) ,  the  former  viceroy 
of  Italy;  while,  in  the  Crypt  of 
the  Princes,  repose  the  remains  of 
the  unfortunate  Ludwig  II.  Further

BAMBERG,  the  residence  of  the 
Bavarian  heir- apparent,  Prince  Rup- 
recht,  is  an  interesting  old  city  situated 
on  two  arms  of  the  Regnitz,  a  few  miles 
from  its  junction  with  the  Main. 

Approaching  the  city  from  the  rail- 
way station,  few  buildings  of  interest 
are  past  till  one  has  got  beyond  the  first 
arm  of  the  river.  Crossing  this  by  Lud- 
wig's  Bridge,  we  soon  find  ourselves 
at  Maximilian  PI.,  a  square  embellished 
with  a  fountain  bearing  statues  of 
various  historical  personages. 

Following  the  street  called  Gruner 
Markt,  we  come  to  St.  Martin's  Church, 
a  17th  cent.  Barocco  edifice  with  an 
enormous  dome.  Surrounding  it,  there 
are  several  public  buildings,  of  which 
the  most  noteworthy  is  the  Royal 
Library,  containing  300,000  vols, 
and  upwards  of  3,000  MSS.  with  the 
so-called  Alcuin*s  Bible  &c. 

Proceeding  to  the  other  arm  of  the 
Regnitz,  we  notice  a  double  bridge 
enclosiDg  the  Raihaus,  The  building, 
which  is  erected  upon  an  artificial 
island,  dates,  in  its  present  form,  from 
the  middle  of  the  IS^h  cent. 

About  a  furlong  beyond  the  bridge 
rises 

"he  Cathedral,  one  of  the  finest 
lanesque  edifices  in  Germany, 
I  four  handsome  towers.  The 
tnal  building  was  erected  by  the 
»eror  Henry  II.,  in  A.  D.  1004, 
having  been  almost  completely 
royed  by  fire,  it  was  rebuilt  by 
op  Otto  in  1115.  It  contains 
umber  of  interesting  tombs,  in- 
'      the  sarcophagus  of  its  founder. 


in  the  nave,  and  that  of  pope 
Clement  II.,  in  the  crypt;  the  trea- 
sury, with  several  reliquaries,  and 
St.  Antony's  Chapel  are  worth  seeing. 
Near  the  cathedral  are  situated 
several  other  important  buildings, 
such  as  the  Episcopal  Palace  and 
the  Old  Royal  Palace,  the  latter  a 
gabled  building  with  beautiful  porch 
and  extensive  courtyard.  Beyond 
it  stands  the  New  Palace  whence 
Napoleon  issued  his  declaration  of 
war  against  Prussia  in  1806. 

A  little  to  the  west  is  St  James* 
Church,  a  Romanesque  basilica  ~  of 
the  lltb  century,  with  Gothic  and 
Barocco  additions. 

On  a  hill  to  the  north  rises  St.HlebMPs 
Church*  a  similar  building  to  St.  James' 
bat  of  somewhat  later  date.  Its  towers,  to- 
gether with  the  neiffhbouring  Benedictine 
Abbey,  are  visible  tor  a  long  tiistance- 

The  church  contains  nanoerous  inter- 
esting objects,  most  of  them  transferred 
from  the  cathedral.  In  the  adjoining 
cloisters  is  the  Citf  Pietare  Gallery,  with 
several  paintings  of  the  Old  German, 
Italian,  Spanish  and  other  schools. 

To  the  south  of  the  cathedral  is 
situated  the  Chareh  of  Oar  Lady,  best 
reached  from  the  Bathaus  tbrouorh 
Kaalberg  St.  The  building,  originally 
14th  cent.  Gothic,  has  been  greatly  mo- 
dified at  Tarious  periods. 

Bamberg  is  a  hilly  place,  and  the 
walks  in  the  vicinity  are  very  pretty. 
Some  of  the  most  attractive  are  up  Kaal- 
berg HtU  and  to  Altesbarg  Baiss  and 
Theresian  Haln;  while  more  distant  exr 
onrsions  are  to  Bans  &  Tlersehsheiligen 
(see  Lichtenfels  route  88  A). 

ERIiANGEUr  (POP.:  28,000.  -  HOT.: 
Sehwan;  Blane  Oloeke)  was  fonnded  by 
Huguenot  refugees  after  the  edict  of 
Nantes.  The  place  has,  for  its  size,  a 
considerable  industry;  and  its  beers  are 
among  the  most  celebrated  in  Germany. 

There  are  but  few  edifices  of  impor- 
tance in  the  town.  Two  only  call  for 
special  mention,  namely,  the  University 
and  the  Palace.  The  UniTersityy  which 
is  renowned  for  its  chairs  of  medicine 
and  theology,  dates  from  1748,  aad  con- 
sists of  an  extensive  group  of  buildings 
clustering  around  the  Palace  Garden. 

The  Palaee  contains  a  library  of 
180,000  vols.,  together  with  a  collection 
of  15 th  and  16th  century  sketches  by 
Dutch,  Flemish  and  German  masters.

Wallenstein  strongly  entrenched  himself 
in  1632,  and,  on  the  l^^  Sept.,  forced

NUREMBERG  is  an  exceedingly 
interesting  city,  whose  inhabitants  are 
busily  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of 
toys,  fancy- articles,  leather,  iron- ware, 
machinery,  beer  &c.  In  point  of  siae, 
it  is  the  second  town  in  Bavaria;  while, 
commercially,  it  is  the  most  important 

Elace  in  South  Germany  and  the  chief 
op-market  on  the  Continent. 
Moreover,  it  possesses,  for  the  tourist, 
great  attractions.    Founded  some  time 
prior    to   the   nti>   century,    and    first 
mentioned   as   Nonremberc   in   an   act 
of  the  year  1050,  it  was  built,  in  the 
main,  during  the  Gothic  Sc  Benaissanoe 
periods,  its  churches  belonging  mostly 
to  the  former,  and  its  private  bnildi 
combining  both  styles.  Its  most  renowi 
adorners  were  the  sculptors  Adam  Kri 
(t  1607)  and  Veit  Stoss  (f  1682),  and 
brass  -  founder   Peter  Visoher  (f  IE 
who.  together  with  the  immortal  paii 
Albert  Dttrer  (f  1628),  gave  to  Nuremb

peii^j^iDiie  as  an  impanitl  cityjiiid  became 
locorporated  in  Bavaria  ia  iSUti. 

Prom  that  time  onwards  its  growth 
has  been  very  rapid,  the  population 
having  increased  nearly  tenfold.  Never- 
theless»  its  old  buildings  have  remamed 
almost  intact  and  it  is  quite  the  qOaintest 
town  in  Germany;  while,  in  order  to 
preserve  that  unity  of  medieeval  aspect 
for  which  it  is  so  remarkable,  the 
municipal  surveyors  insist  upon  all  new 
erections  being  designed  in  keeping 
with  the  elder  structures. 

Through  the  centre  of  the  city  flows 
the  many-bridged  Pegnitz;  and  round 
the  older  districts  runs  a  well-preserved 
wall  with  several  towers.  The  principal 
buildings  are  the  following,  namely: — 


Si.  Lorenzhirche,  at  the  further  end 
of  Konigs  St  from  Frauen  Tlior :  it  is 
the  finest  church  in  the  town,  being 
a  beautiful  Gothic  building  dating  beck 
to  the  13th  cent  The  most  striking 
points  of  the  exterior  are  the  western 
fa9ade  and  its  porch  with  a  splendid 
rose  •  window  above  it:  the  interior 
contains  some  magnificent  stained- 
glass  and  interesting  works  of  art  of 
the  15th  and  16th  centuries  including 
the  so-called  pyramid  (designed  and 
executed  by  Adam  Krafft),  some 
wood-carving  by  Veit  Stoss  and  a 
candelabra  by  Peter  Vischer. 

Close  by  the  church  is  the  Tug  end 

Brunnett,    a  *  beautiful    fountain    of 

original  design  (Wurzelbauer,   1589).

the  cobbler- poet  Hans  Sachs.     In 
It  of  the  church  is  the  'Schoner

it  is  a  beautiful  creation,  with  figures 
representing  Charlemagne,  Gottfried  of 
Bouillon  and  Clod  wig  (Christian  heroes); 
Judas  Maccabdeus,  Joshua  &  David  (old 
testament),  and  Caesar,  Alexander  and 
Hector  (profane) :  a  second  tier  of  figures 
represents  Moses   and  the   prophets. 

Beyond  the  fountain  rises  the  Rat'

style  erected  at  the  opening  of  the  1 7th 
cent.  It  is  an  imposing  edifice  with  a 
fine  hall  containing  a  panelled  ceiling, 
frescoes  from  designs  by  Diirer,  and 
stained-glass  by  Hirschvogel.

periods.  The  church  is  most  beautifully

built and  greatly  strengthened.

jHALLA.    Am  its  name   impliea, 


it  is  intended  as  the  "Tempel  Dentseher 
Ehren'*;  although,  traly,  the  title  is  a 
misnomer,  since  the  Walhalla  is  rather 
Scandinavian  than  German.  MoreoTer,the 
style  of  the  buildinff,  however  handsome, 
is  scarcely  adaptea  for  the  purpose  for 
which  it  was  designed:  it  is,  namely,  a 
most  exact  imitation  of  the  Parthenon, 
with  a  symbolio  representation  of  Her- 
mann's Schlaoht  (or.  Detmold  route  10) 
by  Sohwanthaler.  The  interior  is  even 
finer  than  the  exterior,  and  contains  a 
large  number  of  statnes  and  busts  of 
celebrated  Germans,  among  them  six 
prodii(*tion8  of  Ranch's. 

KELHEIM  (POP.t  i,O0a  —  HOT.: 
Ehrenttaaller)  is  a  favourite  excursion 
spot  with  ancient  walls  and  towers.  The 
surrounding  countrv  is  extremely  pictur- 
esque. On  the  neighbouring  Michaels- 
berg  stands  the  Befreiungshalle.  This  is 
a  handsome  and  remarkable  strnctore 
commemorating  the  Battle  ot  Leipsic 
(see  route  10).  Begun  under  Ludwig  I., 
it  was  opened  on  the  ISth  Oct  1868,  the 
jubilee  day  of  the  great  battle.  This 
date  has  been  taken  as  the  typical 
number  in  many  points  of  the  bnilaing, 
such  as  the  18  Teutonic  ▼irgins  borne 
by  the  enormous  buttresses  that  sur* 
round  the  temple.

STARNBERG. 

HOTEL:  Bayeriioher  Hof. 

STARNBERG  is  a  well-built  resort 
at  the  northern  end  of  the  lake  of  the 
same  name,  and  is  much  frequented 
by  tourists  and  others.  It  possesses 
a  handsome  bathing  and  swimming 
institute,  whence  a  15  minutes'  walk 
through  a  beautiful  avenue  of  lime- 
trees  brings  us  to  Prinz  Karl's  Palace, 
on  an  elevation  affording,  an  incom- 
parable view  of  the  lake  with  its  sur- 
rounding mountains  and  mansions. 

One  of  the  favourite  excursions  is  to 

Schloss  Ber^  on  the  eastern  bank, 
where  a  Romanesque  chapel  has  been 
built  in  memory  of  King  Ludwig  II.  — 
drowned  in  the  lake  ou  the  l3t>>  June 
18S6.  Close  to  the  chapel  a  memorial 
column  marks  the  spot  where  the  terrible 
tragedy  occurred. 

Bence  either  through  the  park  ^20  min.) 
or  by  boat  to  Leoni.  Here,  there  is  a 
cable-railway  to  Rottmannshohe  with 
famous  Sanatorium.  Ten  minutes  distant 
from  the  terminus  stands  a  Bismarck 
Tower  commanding  a  fine  panorama. 
Next  comes  Aaimerlandy  the  seat  of 
Count  V.  Pocoi 

Beyond  it  the  footwajr  through  the 
woods  that  skirt  the  lake  is  very  agree- 
able, the  mountains  becoming  more  and 
more  prominent  as  we  approach. 

Ambaehy  whence  pretty  trips  may  be 
undertaken. 

At  the  extreme  S.  of  the  lake  lies 
Seeshaapt,  a  dainty  village  and  one 
which  aiSfords  beaatiful  views  of  the  lake 


and  higiilanda,  and  is  alsd  &  c Autre 
whence  visits  may  be  paid  to  Ko«3bels^c 
and  other  spots. 

The  steamer  returns  along  the  westei  1 , 
shore  of  the  lake,  calling  ai  Bemried 
celebrated  for  its  park  —  and  proceed-

which  forms  its  core:  Ilka-  H4he  here  i^ 
renowned  for  the  view  It  commands. 

From  Tutzing  it  is  aiJvlflnble  to  follow 
the  shore-road  past  Rose  Ule  to 

Feldaflng  (a  beautifully  situated  vjl- 
laae  overlooking  the  Uki»)  and  thence 
proceed  past  »he  castle -park  <ir  bettei 
via  Wolfsschlucht  to  PoAscnboffn* 

From  Starnberg  station,  the  rail- 
road skirts  the  western  shore  of  the 
lake.  A  short  distance  beyond  Tutaing 
a  branch  line  runs  to 

WElIiHEIM  (Post  Hat.),  a  little 
town  situated  on  the  Biver  Amoqer  and 
near  the  fens  that  lie  to  ihe  B.  ot

as  well  as  by  those  in  want  of  rest 
and  recreation. 

Indeed,  it  is  a  nice,  romantic  retreat 
at  any  period  of  the  year,  both  the 
faculty  and  the  public  agreeing  upon 
the  admirable  and  healthy  situation 
of  the  place.  Free  from  dust  and 
bacteria,  it  offers  delightful  oppor- 
tunities for  walks  on  good  and  hilly 
roads. 

The  greatest  attraction  for  the  tourist 
is,  of  course,  the  Zngspitze,  the  higbest 
summit  in  the  German  Alps.  It  hns  a 
lieight  of  0711  feet.  A  guide  shouM  be 
taken  (17  mks.),  as  the  way  is  a  diiilcult 
one,  especiftlly  for  persons  liable  to 
giddiness.  The  delightful  and  erand 
panorama  that  presents  itself  well  re- 
pays the  trouble  caused  by  the  two 
days'  climb  req  ired  for  its  ascent. 

Near  Partenkirchen  and,  indeed,  at 
a  similar  distance  west  of  the  railway

This  ancient  spot,  though  but  little 

known    prior   to   the   year    1882,    is 

rapidly  becoming    one    of  the    most

place  occupies  a  delightful 
,vn  in  the  valiey  of  the  Loisach, 
e  it  opens  out  to  receive  the 
-  h  and  the  Kanker.    The  broad 


green  valley,  with  its  luscious  meadows 
and  fertile  fields,  lies  at  an  elevation 
of  2,298  feet,  and  is  surrounded  by 
fine,  wooded  heights  beyond  which 
tower  up  the  snowcapt  tops  of  the 
Bavarian  Alps.  Noticeable  among  these 
last  are  Wettersteinwand  d  Dreithor- 
spitze  to  the  left,  and  the  beautiful 
Alpspitze  tc5  the  right,  adjoining  which 
appear  the  peaks  of  the  Hollenlhal 
Range,  the  rugged  Riffelwdnde  and 
the  precipitous  Zugspitze, 

The  Alpine  climate  is  exceedingly 
beneficial,  especially  in  cases  of  chronic 
catarrh,  neurasthenia,  heart  -  disease 
and  the  early  stages  of  consumption. 
Garmisch  is  particularly  recommended 
to  persons  who  have  undergone 
treatment  at  such  spas  as  Kissingen, 
Carlsbad,  Ems,  Wiesbaden  &c. 

A  short  distance  to  the  S.  of  Garmisch 
and  on  the  slopes  of  Biesser  Kopf  lies

hotel,  Biessersee  (open  the  whole  year), 
stands  in  a  fine  o^en  spot  with  a  delight' 
tul  frarden  and  a^ijoining  forest.  The  view 
of  the  mountains  and  lake  is  superb; 
indeed,  it  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
situations  in  the  Histrii  t.  The  cuisine  of 
the  hotel  is  excellent^  and  there  is  ample 
opportunity  for  boatmg  and  fishing. 

EXCURSIONS:  Garmisch  is  a  centre 
for  innumerable  excursions  and  ascents, 
of  which  only  the  most  celebrated  can 
be  mentioned  here: —

It  lies  in  the  elevated  valley  of  the 
Isar  and  at  the  foot  of  the  stupendous 


Karwendel  and  the  rugged  Wettersteln. 
This  fine  situation,  coupled  with  a  mild 
ozoniferous  and  dustless  atmosphere, 
has  rendered  it  also  a  very  favourite 
resort,  not  only  of  tourists  but  also 
of  health  •  seekers.  The  place  is 
especially  suitable  for  persons  suffer- 
ing from  emphysema,  bronchial  catarrh,

tains several  inns,  which,  daring  the 
height  of  the  season,  are  grently  over- 
filled.  The  oeJet  rated  FA8SI0N  PLAT 
takes  place  here  every  ten  years,  and

The  new  Theatre  in  which  the  re- 
nowned and  much  discussed  represen- 
tations are  performed  is  capable  of 
seating  over  4,000  spectators. 

The  road  from  Oberammergau  runs 
S.JBt.  and  soon  divides,  one  road  going 
leftwards  to  (a)  Ettal  &  Oberau  and  the 
other  rightwards  to  (h)  Oraswang  Valley. 

(a)  ETTAIi  (ALT.:  887  feet.  ^  HOT.: 
Kloster-Gasthsns,  modem  comfort)  is  an 
ancient  place  consistiuff  mainly  of  some 
20 'boarding-houses,  a  few  good  hotels 
and  a  fine  Benedictine  Abbey.  This  last 
was  founded  in  1830  but,  having  been 
destroyed  by  fire  in  1744.  was  rebuilt 
in  Bococo  style  of  whioh  it  forms  a 
splendid  specimen. 

The  little  place  is  delightfully  situ- 
ated amid  lofty  and  well- wooded  heights, 
and  is  an  excellent  mountain  resort. 
Like  its  neighbour  QraswAng,  it  possesses 
high-pressure  water  supply  and  more- 
over has  omnibuses  running  twice  daily 
to  the  stations  of  Oberammergau  and 
Oberau,  midway  between  which  it  lies. 

OBEBAU  is  a  small  station  on 
the  Munich- Parteckirch en  line,  which  is 
convenient  for  visiting  Sttal  (see  above), 
the  road  running  through  Q-iessenbacn 
and  some  fir  e  glens. 

(b)  From  Oberammergau  (see  above}  a 
tramp  of  2  hours  or  an  hour's  drive 
through  the  magnificent  Graswang 
Valley  brings  us  to 

SCHIiOSS  lilNDEBHOF  (Schloss 
Hotel),  the  first  of  the  celebrated  Royal 
C<> sties.  It  is  a  fine  edifice  in  Bococo 
^tyle,  designed  by  Dollmann.  In  every 
respect,  the  building  shows  the  charac- 
teristics of  the  morarcb,  Ludwig  II., 
lor  whom  it  was  erected:  the  interior 
displayd  a  magnificence  of  ornament 
and  a  wealth  of  colour  and  gold  which 
render  it  too  ornate  for  the  taste  of 
many  beholderii. 

Soon  after  leaving  Linderhof  we  enter 
Ammerwald  Thai,  a  lonesome  vallesr 
ked  by  steep  heights,  the  most  notice- 
of  which  are  the  Hoohplatte  to  the 


right  and  the  Kreiisspitse  and  Gl«ier- 
kdpfe  to  the  lefL  In  P/s  bra.  we  cross 
the  Tyrolese  boundary  (near  which  is 
Ludwig  II*s  Hnndinghiltte),  and  in  an- 
other hour  reach 

Hotel  Ammerwiild  (!<,577  feetX  newly 
built  and  very  suitable  as  a  centre  of 
residence  for  visitinsr  the  beautiful  spots 
of  this  famous  district.  It  is  2>/4  hours 
from  Linderhof  and  8^/4  hrs.  from  Keu- 
scbwanstein,  and  possesses  excellent 
modern  accommodation,  including  70 
beds  and  English  sanitation.  The  pro- 
prietor also  owns  Hotel  Brahersog  Bemer 
at  Obermais. 

A  good  winding  road  branches  off 
here  to  Neuschwanstein  —  Fiissen  (see 
below).  Keeping,  however,  to  the  main 
road,  we  reach  In  JV4  hrs.  the  beautiftil 
■bores  of  the  Tyrolese  (Austrian) 

PliANSEB  with  the  fine  Btsbllsse- 
MCBt  Plaasee  Hotel  (Forelle)y  consisting 
of  a  hotel  and  two  large  &  recently  built 
villas.  It  bas 60 bedrooms  well-appointed 
and  mostly  fitted  with  balconies.The  other 
rooms,  as  well  as  the  fittings,  the  cuisine 
and  the  attendanoe  are  in  keeping  with 
the  rest.  The  best  route  is  by  rail  to 
Qarmisch  and  thence  by  omnibus  leav- 
ing Hotel  Sonnenbichl  twice  daily. 

Plansee  consists  of  two  iheets  of 
watisr  called  the  larger  and  the  smaller 
lakes.  Both  are  the  property  of  the 
above  hotel  and,  top^ther  with  the  outlet, 
are  famous  for  their  fine  trout,  char  and 
"Benken**.  Unlimited  fishing  and  boating 
is  enjoyed  by  guests  of  the  hotel  only. 

The  lake  is  one  of  the  loveliest  of 
north  Tyrol.  It  has  a  length  of.  b  km., 
and  is  remarkable  for  its  varied  rolour- 
iug  produced  by  the  high  diflfs  (8,280  ft) 
and  fir- woods  by  which  it  is  enclosed. 
At  its  western  end  stands  Hotel  Seespltz,

FIJSSEN  (POP.:  8,500.  —  HOTEL:

and  leading  house,  carriages  supplied), 
still  possessing  remnants  of  its  old 
fortifications  and  retaining,  in  a  re- 
markable degree,  its  mediaeval  aspect. 
Its  picturesque  old  Castle  was  erected 
at  the  opening  of  the  14  th  century 
by  the  bishops  of  Augsburg,  and  was 
restored  by  Maximilian  H.  Beneath  it 
rises  the  Church  of  St.  Magnus  (1701), 
^nd  the  Abbey  of  St.  Mang,  founded 
in  630. 

An  excellent  road  (cf.  Ammerwald, 
above)  runs  S.E.  to 

SCHLOSS  NEUSCHWANSTEIN. 
This  won<ierfal  edifice,  the  creation  of 
King  Ludwig  II.,  towers  in  majestic 
beauty  above  the  green  woods  beneath, 
and  seems  to  grow,  like  an  enormous 
cluster  of  crystals,  ont  of  the  rocky 
point  in  which  the  eminence  terminates. 
In  the  construction  of  the  building, 
the  leading  German  artists  of  the  day" 
were  employed:  such  men  as  Hanschild, 
Aigner,  Spiess,  Munsch  and  Piloty  have 
contributed  to  it  the  embodiment  of  their 
thought  and  skilJ;  and,  in  its  wonderful 
frescoes,  the  lover  of  German  literature 
will  be  delighted  to  find  represented  the 
legends  of  Lohengrin,  Parzival,  Tristan 
and  Jsoldfl  &c. 

Some  distance  below  stands 

SCflLOSS  HOHENSCHWANGAU  which 
was  the  residence  of  the  Queen  of 
Bavaria  until  her  death.  Its  creator 
was  Maximilian  II.;  and,  its  style  calls 


ip   recollections   of  the    ancient   days 
f    the    Guelphs,   Hohenstaufens    and

TOLZ  is  a  wealthy  and  important 
market  town  charmingly  situated  on  the 
right  bank  of  the  Iser.  The  buildings, 
quaint  and  curiously  painted,  cluster 
close  together,  at  the  foot  of  a  hill, 
those  in  the  broad  and  steep  Markt  St. 
being  particularly  interesting.  A  fine 
bridge  spans  the  Iser  and  gives  access 
to  the  spa,  properly  called 

Bad  Krankenheil,  a  resort  of  great 
repute  on  account  of  its  fine  situation, 
salubrious  climate  and  health-giving 
springs. 

The  place  has  an  altitude  of  2,201 

feet,  and  the  broad  valley  in  which 

it  lies  is  encircled  with  fine  mountain 

peaks,    those   in  the    distance  rising 

to  a  height  of  7,000  ft.;  while  woods 

great  beauty  and  extent  surround 

group  of  hotels  and  villas  which 

pose  the  resort. 


The  climate  is  bracing  in  character, 
the  mean  temperature  during  the  season 
from  Muy  1 5th— Oct.  ist  being  16^0. 

Fiye  springs  are  in  use.  They  con- 
tain iodides,  chlorides  and  sulphides  of 
sodium  &c.  and  are  specially  famous  for 
the  first-named  salts,  the  spa,  indeed, 
owing  them  its  name  of  Jodhad  Tolz. 

The  waters  are  employed  medicin- 
ally and  for  bathing,  mother-lye  being 
sometimes  added. 

Scrofula,  affections  of  the  skin  and 
glands,  catarrh  of  all  kinds,  female 
complaints  &e.  are  the  principal  dis- 
eases treated. 

The  number  of  visitors  is  very 
great,  Krankenheil  holding,  in  this 
respect,  the  third  position  among  the 
spas  of  Bavaria. 

Among  other  pastimes,  it  may  be 
mentioned  that  concerts  are  frequent- 
ly given,  and  that  lawn-tennis  and 
good  fishing  are  to  be  had. 

The  vicinity  of  the  Iser  and  the 
lakes  offers  admirable  opportunity  for

TEGERNSEE,  once  a  famous 
Benedictine  monastery,  is  now  a  well- 
known  climatic  resort  bituated  at  a 
great  elevation  among  the  Alps  of 
Upper  Bavaria,  and  on  the  borders 
of  the  lake  which  bears  its,  name. 
This  beautiful  sheet  of  water,  with 
a  length  of  5.7  km.  and  a  breadth  of 
2  km.,  is  fed  by  numerous  small  becks 
and  has  its  effluence  at  MangfalL 
Enclosed  to  the  north,  the  east  and 
the  west  by  green  meadows  and 
wooded  heights  and  to  the  south  by 
mountains  of  considerable  elevation, 
it  unites  a  soft  rural  beauty  with  the 
grandeur  of  an  alpine  landscape,  and  is 
justly  considered  to  be  one  of  the  love- 
liest spots  in  the  Bavarian  Highlands 
and  one  that  will  well  bear  comparison 
with  the  most  celebrated  lakes  of 
Switzerland.  Anyone  who,  having  left 
the  woods  on  the  height  above  Gmund. 
sees  the  lake  for  the  first  time  spread 
out  before  him  in  all  its  beauty,  will 
reaJily  admit  the  justness  of  this  claim. 

Owing  to  its  charming  location, 
Tegernsee  has  become  a  much  fre- 
quented health-resort,  and  counts 
among  its  visitors  persons  of  the 
highest  rank.  The  old  monastery  is 
now  the  residence  of  H.  R.  H.  Duke 
CarlTheodor  the  famous  philanthropist 
and  oculist.  A  few  years  since,  the 
German  Empress  stayed  here  for  a 
long  time  with  her  children  and 
repeatedly  expressed  herself  in  the 
warmest  terms  of  the  resort  and  its 
surroundings.  In  the  year  1905  the 
Oerman  Crown  Prince  and  his  consort 
spent  three  weeks  here.   Her  highness 


the  Duchess  Marie  of  Saie-Coburg- 
Gotha  resides  here  every  summer  at 
her  castle  named  Seng er^ch loss  where 
she  is  visited  by  her  Russian ,  Eng  f  ish  and 
Roumanian  relatives.  Morqovcr.Tegern* 
see  is  the  seat  of  numerous  members 
of  German  and    foreign    aristocracy. 

The  place  is  admirably  managed,  and 
great  care  and  attention  are  paid  to  its 
sanitation.  On  the  borders  of  the  lake 
there  are  excellent  ist  and  Liini  da^^s 
hotels,  beautiful  cafes  and  conditorcis 
with  a  large  selection  of  newspapers; 
these  and  comfortable  private  lojgings 
enhance  the  agreeableness  of  Che  resort. 

Tegernsee  possesses  no  peculiar 
curative  remedies;  but  its  two  admir- 
ably appointed  bathing  establishments 
offer  ample  opportunity,  not  only  for 
lake-bathing,  but  also  for  hydropathic 
treatment.  In  the  baths,  use  is  made 
of  pine-needles,  mother- lye,  sodium 
chloride,  sulphur  &  mud.  At  Schwaig* 
hof,  15  min.  distant,  there  is  a  special 
sulphur  bath  for  chronic  diseases  of 
the  skin  and  joints. 

Owing  to  its  mild  mountain- climate, 
its  pure,  bracing  atmosphere^  its  de- 
lightful woods  and  its  refre&hmg  lake, 
Tegernsee  is  a  resort  of  the  first 
rank,  which  is  particularly  suitabk^  for 
convalescents  and  for  po^t-trealment 
after  visiting  Carlsbad,  Kissing  en  &c. 
Tegernsee  is,  on  account  of  its 
'*terrains",  one  of  the  leading  resorts 
of  the  Bavarian  Alps  for  all  kinds  of 
winter  sports  and  games.  Hotels  and 
private  apartments  are  well-arranged 
for  summer  and  winter  season.  Direct 
trains  from  Munich  to  Tegernsee,

Originally  a  monastery  founded  in  754, 
its  waters  and  fine  situation  have 
gradually  raised  it  to  a  leading  position 
among  tbe  spas  of  Soutbem  Germany. 

The  plateau  upon  which  it  lies  is 
surrounded  with  forests  and  mountains. 
To  the  S.  rise  the  rugged  peaks  ot  the 
Blauberg;  to  the  S.W.  the  view  is  shut-

romantically  situated  on  a  long  tongue 
of  land  at  the  confluence  ot  the  Inn  and 
the  Ilz  with  the  Danube  and  surrounded 
with  fine  heights.  Its  most  important 
buildings  are  the  following,  namely:— 

The  Cathedral,  the  date  of  whose 
foundation  is  unknown:  but,  in  the 
15<h  oent.,  it  was  rebuilt  in  Gothic  style. 
This  building  was  destroyed  by  fire  in 
the  17th  cent  and  replaced  by  a  Baroooo 
edifice,  which  is  one  of  the  finest  spe- 
cimens of  its  kind,  and  contains  several 
beautiful  chapels  and  an  excellent  organ. 
On  the  square  in  front  of  it,  there  is  a 
statue  of  Maximilian  Joseph  I  A  short 
distance  from  here  is  the  Church  of  8t. 
Paal;  while  at  Rindermarkt  is  Johannes 
Splttelkiichey  containing^  a  quantity  of 
wood-carving  and  a  number  of  tomhs. 
Other  interesting  churches  are  that  of 
the  Holy  Ghost,  in  Heiligegeist  Gasse, 
and  that  of  St.  Salvatore,  near  the 
'Tunnel*  (15ii^  cent.).  The  Batfaaus  at  the 
FiPchmarkt  has  been  recently  restored. 

The  city  is  connected  with  Innstadt

Maximilian  Briioke  —  leads  a<-ros8  the 
Danube  to  Anger;  while  a  third  join^ 
it  with  Nlederhaas  and  SalTatorkirehe. 
Olose  to  the  last  is  tbe  fortress  of  Ober-

REICHENHALL,  with  its  saline 
springs,  is  doubtless  the  largest 
climatic  health  -  resort  in  Germany ; 
the  annual  number  of  patients  being 
about  11,000,  while  a  similar  number 
of  visitors  who  do  not  take  the 
waters  are  found  here  every  year. 
The  spa  lies  on  the  perfectly  level 
floor  of  a  valley  among  the  Alps  of 
Southern  Bavaria,  and  at  an  elevation 
of  over  1,500  feet.  Dolomite  moun- 
tains, rising  to  a  height  of  between 
6,000  and  7,000  feet,  enclose  the 
plain,  and  render  the  climate  of  the 
spa  mild  but  invigorating. 

The  spa,  which  has  a  mean  tempera- 
ture of  8'42*^C.,  is  especially  adapted  for 
affections  of  the  heart,  throat  and  chest ; 
but  patients  of  all  kinds  find  relief  here. 

The  treatment  which  is  of  an  ex- 
ceedmgly  varied  character,  falls  under 
.hrfte    heads,   namely: —    Terrainkur; 


Bathing,  Inhalation  and  Pneumatic 
Chambers;  and  Trinkkur. 

Hofknr  Anstalt  ^Dianabad'  is  an  old 
and  very  extensive  concern,  situated  in 
the  centre  of  the  spa  and  snrronnded 
by  large  and  beautifal  gronnds;  it  pos- 
sesses powerful  machinery  and  is  fitted 
with  the  latest  sppliances,  including 
pneumatic  cabinets,  inhalation  room  and 
bathing  apparatus. 

Above  the  town  rises  the  old  Castle 
of  Gmtteiistelii,  while  1  he  neighbouring 
heights  afford  opportunities  for  making 
charming  excursions. 

Twenty  trains  are  run  daily  between 
Reichenhall  and  Salzburg,  and  an 
interesting  mountain-railway,  with  12

a  royal  oh&teau  and  'Stiftskircho*  with 
some  12tb  cenr.  carving.  From  the  royal 
villa,  a  fine  prospect  is  obtained.  The 
district  is  nob  in  fine  srenery;  and  the 
place  is  much  frequented  as  a  summer 
and  health  resort.  One  of  the  most 
beautiful  excursions  is  to  the  Loekstela 
(V2  br.),  whence  one  obtains  a  splendid 
view  of  the  Berohtesgad  en  Valley.  But  the 
great;,  attraction  of  the  neighbourhood 
is  KONIGSEIS,  a  lake  about  4  iriles  in 
length  and  1  mile  iu  breadth :  it  is  con- 
sidered the  loveliest  lake  in  Qermany 
or  Austria,  and  is  celebrated  for  the 
beautiful  deep-srreen  rolour  of  its  water.

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY. 


AQstriA  was  originally  a  small  dake- 
./A    dom    which  ^rew  out  of  that   of 
Bavaria,  at  the  close  of  the  12^1^  cent. 
Angmented  hy  the  addition  of  Styria, 
it  came  under  the  rule  of  the  House  of 
Hapsburg,  who  raised  it  to  the  status 
of  a  kingdom  towards  the  close  of  the 
14th  cent.    This  dynastjr,  under  whose 
sceptre  it    has    ever    since    remahied, 
won  for  the  country,  by  con<4ueBt  and 
marriage,  a  leading  position  among  the 
European  powers,    Indeed,  during  the 
period    when   its  monarchs    were    also 
Emperors  of  Germany,  it  was,  perhaps, 
the  mightiest  state  in  Europe.   ButL  alter 
the  reformation,  a  decline  gradually  set 
in,  and.  with  the  domination  of  Napoleon 
in  1H05,  the  existence  of  the  old  German 
Empire  came  to  an  end.    In  the  follow- 
ing year,  Franz  XL  adopted  the  title  of 
Emperor  of  Austria  (cf.  Introduction  to 
Germany).    Till  18ti6,  no  change  of  im- 
portance took  place;  but  then,   during 
the  great  conflict  with  Prussia,  it  lost 
its  Italian  provinces  of  Lombardy  and 
lice,  a  loss  which,   territorially,   has 
e   been    compensated  -  for    by    the 
aisition  of  Bosnia  and  Heraegovina. 
these  states,  like  most  of  the  others 
sli  go  to  make  up  the  Empire,  are 
r  under  the  dominion  of  the  reigning 
Deror  and  are  quite  independent  in 
internal  questions, 
he  Em  I  ire  is  a  limited  monarchy 
1  a  Beiehsrat  (diet)  ior  the  conduct 
A\  imperial  matters,  each  individual 
»   having    a   separate    Laadtag   for 


the  conduct  of  home  affairs.  'These 
states  (some  of  which  are  styled  king- 
doms, some  of  them  duchies)  are  al- 
most as  numerous  a«  the  various  races 
which  form  the  population.  The  princi- 
pal of  them  are:—  Upper  and  Lower 
Austria,  Styria  and  Tyrol  (all  of  them 
German),  Bohemia  lTdchechi8ch\Galicia, 
Moravia,  Bosnia,  Dalmatia  and  Hungary. 
The  Jaat  of  these  is  by  far  the  largest 
in  point  of  extent  and  popalation, 
though,  politically  and  commercially, 
the  Kingdom  of  Austria  is  still  the 
most  important  member  of  this  many- 
tongued  emnire. 

It  should  be  o' early  remembered 
that,  in  race,  language  and  social 
interests,  Hungary  is  quite  distinct  from 
Austria;  and,  German  being  by  no 
means  commonly  known,  a  slight  know- 
ledge of  Magyar  on  the  part  of  the 
traveller  is  not  undesirable^ 

Weights  and  Measures:  The  decimal 
system  is  employed:  (see  Tables  of 
Measures  &  Introduction  to  Germany). 

Honey  t  The  decimal  system  is  like- 
wise in  use  for  the  coinage;  the  standard 
is  a  Krone  =  100  Heller.  The  coins  are:— 
Goldx  twenty  Kronen -piece  and  ten 
Kronen  -  piece ;  Silver :  Kronen  -  piece.

Two  churches,  two  chapels,  and  severaK 
collections  are  also  to  be  seen  here. 

The  Kreuzherrenkirche  is  an  imi- 
tation of  St  Peter's  at  Rome.  Near 
it  is  a  monument  to  Charles  IV.  The 
yearly  exhibition  of  pictures  takes  place 
in  the  new  Rudolphinum,  where  are 
also  to  be  found  an  Art  Gallery, 
and  the  Conservatory  of  Music.  The 
Cathedral  of  St  Vitus  was  begun 
under  Charles  IV.  in  1344.  It  has  a  large 
Gothic  choir,  and  contains  a  consider- 
ablcnumberofmonuments;'but  both  the 
building  and  its  contents  suffered  con- 
siderably during  the  siege  of  1757.  The 
most  important  points  to  observe  in  the 
interior  are  the  large  Ronig's  Denkmal 
(King's  Memorial)  in  the  nave  and  a 
beautiful  Renaissance  railing  by 
Schmidthamm/sr;  furthermore,  Wen- 
ceslas  Chapel,  decorated  with  Bohemian 
jewels,  the  Martin  Chapel,  with  an  altar 
of  Carrara  marble,  and  a  picture  of 
the  half-mythical  Nepomuk  above  it 
&c.  The  other  chapels  are  also  richly 
ornamented  with  carvings  and  frescoes. 

Near  the  Cathedral  are  St.  George's 
Old  Church,  Loretto  Chapel,  Czernin 
Palace  and  the  Archbishop*s  Palace. 

Close  to  the  station  are  Jose/ PI., 
from  which  most  of  the  principal  streets 
radiate.  Celetnd  ulice,  Karlova  ulice, 
Velki  a  Male  ndmesti.  At  the  be- 
ginning of  Celetna  ulice  stands  the 
Pulverthurm  (PraSna  brana)  in  late 
Gothic  style  {I5th  cent.).  To  the  N. 
of  this  rises  the  magnificent  Reprd- 
sentaiiotts  Stadihaus. 

Prague  contains  several  fine  bridges, 
including    the    new    Moldau     bridge 


(Kaiser  Franzens  Brucke)  opened 
on  June  I4th  1901.  Karl's  Brucke, 
with  sixteen  arches,  was  partly, de- 
stroyed in  1890,  but  afterwards  re- 
stored. On  this  bridge  are  to  be  seen 
30  statues  of  saints,  partly  from  the 
lO^hcent,  partly  of  later  date.  Between 
it  and  Kaiser  Franzens  Briicke  is  the 
Franzen*s  Monument,  a  Gothic  fountain 
with  statue  of  Franz  I,  in  the  middle. 
On  Bethlehem* s  PL  the  dwelling  of 
Huss  (now  Nos.  5  &  6)  formerly  stood. 

The  largest  open  spot  in  Prague 
is  Karfs  PI.  with  a  monument  to  the 
Tschechian  poet,  Viieslaw  Halek,  In 
Wyschrader  St.,  the  Emaus  Cloister 
and  the  Marienkirche  in  Gothfc  style, 
with  interesting  but  damaged  fres- 
coes representing  scenes  from  the 
so-called  Biblia  Pauperum. 

A  short  distance  north-east  of 
Hradcany  Square  and  adjoining  the 
Royal  Gardens,  there  is  a  spacious 
park  called  Krdlovskd  Obora,  Its 
Belvedere,  erected  in  1536  and  com- 
manding extensive  views  of  the  city 
and  its  surroundings,  forms  one  of 
the  chief  attractions  of  Prague. 

Other  interesting  public  grounds 
are:—  Bautngarten,  ChoieJtsAnlaj^en, 
Stadt  Park,  Richer  Park  &  Hav- 
licek  Park  with  its  artificial  grottd.

lans,  who  ca  led  the  place  Vindobona.

ter  from  the  invasions  of  the  Osmans 
3Se  march  of  conquest  wa?  twice 
ellei  at  the  walls  of  Vienna.  In  1<^99, 
ban  Soliman  besteerei  the  city  with 
000  Turks,  and  in  the  year  1683 
oWed  a  second  siege  by  the  Turks.

closed the  old  (inner)  city  have  been 
removed  during  the  last  hundred  years, 
and  their  site  converted  into  the  famous 
Bingstrasse. 

A  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  the 
population  of  Vienna  numbered  about 
an  eighth  of  a  million  only,  and  now, 
within  its  20  districts,  counts  1,800,000, 
thus  ranking  third  among  the  cities 
of  the  Continent.  Thanks  to  the 
extraordinary  development  in  the  last 
forty  years,  the  number  of  foreigners 
visiting  Vienna  (at  present  more  than 
half  a  million  annually)  is  increasing 
year  by  year.  The  embellishment  of 
Vienna  has  been  carried  on  energeti- 
cally during  the  last  twenty  years 
and,  combined  with  the  improvement 
in  the  means  of  communication, 
renders  Vienna  one  of  the  first  cities 
of  Europe.  Owing  to  the  magnificent 
position  of  the  Kaiserstadt  on  the 
Danube  and  its  charming  surroundings.

as  well  as  many  other  attractions, 
Vienna  like  every  other  great  city, 
continually  draws  a  large  influx  of 
visitors.  In  spite  of  the  enormous 
development,  the  principal  character- 
istic (the  chief  trait  of  character)  is 
good  nature  and  joviality.  The  whole 
life  in  Vienna  bears  the  stamp  of 
cordiality,  which  prevails  in  all  social 
circks.  The  constant  good  humour 
and  ever  ready  wit  of  the  inhabitants 
enjoy  a   great    reputation    over    the 


whole  globe.  In  no  other  great  city 
will  the  stranger  feel  at  home  in'  so 
short  a  time  as  in  Vienna;  and  no- 
where is  access  to  the  best  society 
so  readily  to  be  found  as  in  Vtenna. 
The  people  of  Vienna  are  enthusiastic 
lovers  of  music  and  dancing.  The 
musical  character  of  Vienna,  the  town 
of  songs,  is  acknowledged  throi^gh- 
out  the  world.  It  would  be  difficult 
to  convey  an  idea  by  means  of  words 
of  the  architectural  beauties  of  Vienna*

Parliament  embellished  with  beautiful 
Greek  sculptures,  the  City  Hall,  the 
University,  the  splendid  Burg  Theater 
and  the  Votivkirche, —  a  church  built  in 
Gothic  style  and  occupying  a  wonder- 
ful site.  Of  the  large  parks  the  most 
remarkable  and  the  best  known  is 
called  the  Prater  with  the  Wurstel- 
prater  (a  kind  of  permanent  fair); 
here  many  a  glimmer  of  golden 
humour  and  hearty  good  nature  8till 
flits  over  the  merry  outbreaks  of  the 
people's  soul  —  that  traditional  good 
nature  which  is  fast  vanishing  in  the 
worldly  bustle  of  modern  metropolises. 
A  great  many  of  the  parks  are  well 
wooded  and  suggestive  of  the  country, 
and  the  surrounding  districts  are 
magniiiceat  indeed.  The  Royal  Palace 
of  Schonbrunn,  with  its  charming, 
and  extensive  parks,  contains  a  world- 
renowned  Palm  Garden  and  well- 
stocked  Zoological  Gardens. 

The  environs  of  Vienna  are  celebrated 
for  their  beauty.  No  other  European 
capital  can  be  compared  with  that  of 
Austria  in  the  number  and  variety  of 
ezcartiions  to  be  found  in  its  immediate 
vicinity.  Mountain  and  forest,  river 
and  plain,  the  cultivated  field  and  the 
wildly  luxuriant  hillside,  the  awe- 
inspiring  magnificence  of  nature  and 
the  sweet  and  peaceful  beauty  that  tells 
of  patient,  lonj;  •  continued  human  toil, 
—  all  lie  at  the  gates  of  the  Royal  City 
on  the  Danube.  It  would  be  difficult, 
indeed,  to  find  another  spot  where, 
within  80  small  a  circuit,  such  a  rich 
variety  of  the  loveliest  and  most  im- 
pressive scenes  delight  the  eye  and 
fill  the  heart  of  the  beholder  suscept- 
.ble  to  the  influences  of  nature  in  her 


sublimpr  aspects.  In  summer-time^  the 
air  everywiiere  rings  with  the  joyous 
voices  of  gay  buman  beings «  seeking 
the  many  wooded  declivitieB  around 
Vienna  to  satis ty  the  love  of  nature 
innate  in  every  Viennese. 

On  Sundays,  thousands  are  carried 
by  the  cos- wheel  railway  to  the  summit 
of  the  Kahlenberg,  a  popular  resort  of 
the  Viennese.  The  magnificent  view 
of  Vienna  obtained  from  this  place  is 
especially  impressive  when  the  lights 
of  evening  flash  up  in  the  town.  A 
walk  of  only  half  an  hour  along  shady 
woodland  paths  leads  from  Kahlenherg 
to  Leopoldsberg  with  its  glorious  view 
of  the  Danube  and  the  plain  of  the 
wide  Marchteld. 

On  the  line  of  the  Southern  Bailway 
there  is  the  ■  thousand-year-old  city  of 
Moedling  —  the  entrance  to  the  pictur- 
esque valley  called  the  Hinterbruehl. 
Moedling  lies  in  a  wooded  and  sheltered 
region  and  is  much  in  favour  as  a 
summer  and'  health  resort  owing  to 
its  wealth  of  historical  reminiscences 
and  modern  spirit  of  enterprise,  as  well 
as  to  the  picturesque  beauty  of  its  sur- 
roundings. ' 

From  Moedling  the  tramway  —  the 
oldest  electric  road  in  Central-Europe 
—  leads  through  a  highly  romantic 
ravine  to  the  Bruehl,  where  stand 
Liechtenstein  Castle,  the  dairy  and 
picturesque  ruins.  Farther  and  farther 
the  way  stretches  on  between  splendid 
villas  to  the  Hinterbruehl,  and  thence 
into  countless  charming  dales,  every- 
where presenting  resting-places  to  the 
wanderer. 

The  Semmering  is  situated  1,000 
metres  above  the  sea-level,  and  may 
be  reached  by  railway  from  Vienna 
in  little  more  than  two  hours.    The

takes  us  up  to  high  regions  among 
an  Alpine  flora  of  great  beauty. 
On  the  top  of  the  Schneeberg  the 
view  is  such  that  one  might  easily 
believe  himself  in  Switzerland.  The 
Schneeberg  is  worth  seeing  owing  to 
its   splendid    situation,  its    proximity

The  Wacliau,  called  the  "Golden 
Wach^u"  during  the  mediaeval  period, 
IS  especially  remarkable  -for  its  ideal 
seen  cry,  where  everything  is  united 
which  could  make  a  river  valley  beau- 
tiful This  district  is  surrounded  by 
steep  mountains,  covered  to  a  great 
height  with  green  forests ,  lower 
do*fn  with  orchards  and  vineyards; 
whiie  on  the  river- bnnks  stand  houses 
jn  the  almost  unchanged  form  of 
the  middle -agesp  castles,  ruins, 
vl!l ages'  and  hamTets  with  minsters 
and  churches. 

Jn  these  regions  along  the  stream, 
moved  the  invading  Nibelungs  to 
FAztl  King  of  the  Huns,  after  they 
had  crossed  the  stream  at  Poechlarn 
(Eiechelfiren);  the  crusaders  went  this 
way;  the  Osmans  Sent,  their  wild 
hordes  to  this  valley;  and  the  victo- 
noits  armies  of  the  great  Corsican 
passed  through,  several  times,  against 
Vienna.  The  Monastery  of  Melk,  situ- 
ated on  a  high  rock,  is  truly  named 
the  Austrian  Escurial.  The  monastery 
terraces,  which  took  down  upon  the 
valley  of  the  Danube,  command  a 
splendid  view  of  the  river  and  pictur- 
esque   ruins.     The    ruins    of   Duern- 


stein  are  a  jewel  amongst  Austria's 
historical  places;  they  are  remarkable 
for  their  incomparable  position,  the 
beauty  and  variety  of  their  buildings 
and  their  romantic  and  varied  history 
during  the  dominion  of  the  Hohen- 
staufens,  the  Swedes  and  the  French. 
Here,  nature,  industry  and  art  seem 
to  stand  in  complete  harmony.  Jagged 
as  the  ruins,  in  which'  England's 
romantic  King,  the  Ghibbelline  Richard 
Coeur  de  Lion  was  imprisoned,  are 
the  rocks  around.  The  Wachau's 
charms  are  so  powerful,  its  resources 
so  rich,  the  historical  language  so  full 
of  life,  the  buildings  of  the  middle- 
ages  so  numerous  that  it  deserves  to 
become  familiar  to  tourists  of  all 
nations  and  classes.

PERMANENT  A BT  EXHIBITION :  Aaton 
&tf^ekl,  Qrand  Hotel  Pupp,  »  a  sculptor 
well  •  known  as  the  arranger  of  ex- 
it ibitions,  having  had  more  than  80  years 
experience  in  Germany  and  Austria. 

CARLSBAD  is  a  favourite  Spa 
visited  by  many  thousands  of  persons 
annually,  a  large  number  being  Ameri- 
cans. Practically,  the  season  lasts 
the  whole  yean  but  the  official 
season,  during  which  the  town-band 
plays,  is  from  the  15  ^^  of  April  till 
the  15th  of  October. 

Whether  use  is  made  of  the  "Cur" 
or  not,  strangers  staying  longer  than 
8  days  in  the  place  are  required  to 
pay  the  *'Cur**  tax  and  the  "music** 
lax.  The  number  of  doctors  resident 
in  Carlsbad  is  160:  there  are  also 
4  pharmacies  and  4  "Trinkhallen".  In 
connection  with  the  "Cur*'  it  is  often 


necessary  to  have  an  analysis  made 
of  the  urine  or  of  the  blood.  For 
such  cases  we  would  recommend 
the  patient  to  apply  to  the  chemical 
and  microscopical  .  laboratory  of 
Dr.  Karl  Reinhard,  Analyst  to  the 
Ciuirts  of  Justice,  on  the  Markt  PI., 
House  ♦*  Prince  of  Wales".  This 
laboratory  has  been  characterised  by 
leading  scientists  as  a  model  institute; 
while  the  best  circles  of  society  make 
use  of  its  services. 

Carlsbad  is  situated  on  the  50^h 
degree  northern  latitude  and  on  the 
30th  degree  eastern  longitude,  some 
305  metres  above  the  level  of  the 
Baltic  Sea  and  in  the  northwestern 
portion  of  German  Bohemia.  It  lies 
in  a  picturesque  gorge  surrounded 
by  high  mountains,  whose  sides  are 
covered  with  magnificent  woods  of  fir, 
pine,  oak  and   beech.     In  this  gorge.

FIRST-CLASS  FAMILY  HOUSES. 


through  which  the  Tepl  (lows  down 
to  join  the  Egerj  the  modern  Carls- 
bakl  has  grown  up,  the  buildings  being 
erected  hiyher  and  higher  up  the 
slopes  of  the  hills  as  the  bed  of  the 
valley  became  too  small  to  permit 
of  further  development. 

The  Tepl,  which  forFnerly,  by  its 
floods,  caused  fl'equent  damage  to 
the  town,  has  now  been  effectually 
confined  and  regulated. 

The    climate    of   Carlsbad   is   of  a 

temperate  character,  but  it  is  advis- 

-*^«'»  to  provide  oneself  with  changes 

Jthing  suitable  to  variations   of 

•ature. 

mountain  ranges  mentioned 
.  form  a  counter  -  range  to  the 
ebirge,  and,  stretching  away  to 
Johemian  Forest  and  the  Fichtel- 
ge ,  constitute  with  them  a 
«*ic  whole. 


ConsiiiUng  of  granite,  gneiss  and 
mica,  with  tertiary  fDr motions  of 
basalt^  the  Carlsbader  Heights  form 
the  source  whence  the  spa  obtains 
its  healLh'giving  waters.  The  granite 
masses  were  split  and  reft  by  seismic 
action;  and  through  the  openings 
not  filled  by  basalt  the  springs  forced 
their  way.  Of  these  lasit  the  most 
important  is  the  Sprudel,  which  rises 
with  the  thickness  of  a  man's  arm 
at  the  spot  where  two  such  geologic 
faults  cross  one  another,  the  other 
springs  issuing  from  lateral  openings. 

As  is  well-known,  all  hot  springs 
possess  the  property  of  incrustation. 
By  a  similar  process  the  Sprudel  has 
created  for  itself,  in  the  course  of 
years,  a  series  of  basins  called  the 
"Sprudelschale'*.  These  deposits  repose 
like  a  honeycomb  on  the  granite 
mass,    the    water,    surcharged    with 


381 


carbonic  -  acid  gas,  constantly  circu- 
lating through  its  cells  in  all  directions. 
The  pressure  of  the  gas  ejects 
the  column  of  water,  and  produces 
the  intermittency  observable  in  the 
ebullitions  of  the  spring. 

Formerly,  an  occasional  stoppage  of 
the  channels  in  the  **Scha1e'^  caused  an 
interruption  of  the  Sprudel  Spring:  and 
the  waters,  bursting  violently  forth  at 
some  other  spot,  inundated  the  town. 
No  fewer  than  five  such  '"explosions" 
took  place  in  the  18th  cent.;  but  since 
1834  none  has  oecurred,  as  care  is  now 
taken  to  provide  adequate  valves  for  the 
escaping  waters  at  various  spots,  and 
the  passage  of  the  Sprudel  is  periodic- 
ally cleared  of  all  foreign  matter. 

The  control  of  the  spa  &c.  is  in  the 
hands  of  the  burgomaster  &  his  assis- 


tants. The  remedies  employed  in  Carls- 
bad are  those  which  have  been  in  use 
for  more  than  500  years.  They  consist 
of  the  celebrated  Thermal  Springs  and 
their  saline  products.  These  latter  are 
used  both  as  medicines  and  in  the  bath. 

Carlsbad  is  the  best  known  and 
most  important  spa  having  mineral 
springs  of  an  alkaline  character. 

Of  these  Thermal  Springs  there  are 
sixteen,  those  mostly  made  use  of 
being  the  following: — 

The  Sprudel,  with  a  temperature  of 
163-80  F.;  Schlossbrtmn,  108*  1®  F.; 
Marktbrunn,  104°  F. ;  Muhlhrunn, 
121'50  F.;  Neu}jrunn,  13770  F. ; 
FclsenqueUe,  143*90  F.;  Kaiserhrunn, 
118-50  F. 

In  chemical  composition  the  waters 
of  these    springs    differ    only  in  the

proportions  of  the  salts  contained  — 
not  in  the  salts  themselves.  They  all 
possess  carbonates  of  iron  protoxide, 
magnesium,  calcium,  strontium,  of  all 
the  alkalis,  and  of  manganese  pro- 
toxide.— though  the  latter  occurs  only 
in  small  quantities,  mere  traces  of  it 
being  found  in  three  of  the  springs. 

The  complaints  most  commonly 
treated  are  diseases  of  the  stomach, 
the  intestines,  the  liver,  the  kidneys 
and  related  organs,  the  prostate  and 
the  womb.  Furthermore,  such  diseases 
as  gout,  obesity  and  diabetes. 

Carlsbad  possesses  5  Colonnades, 
one  at  each  of  the  following  Springs, 
namely:—  Sprudel,  Miihlbrunn,  Markt- 
brunn, Schlossbrunn ;  the  fifth  being 
in  the  Stadtpark. 


There  are,  also,  five  large  baths, 
namely: —  Kaiserhad,  Kurhaus,  Neu- 
bad,  Sprudelbadehaus  and  the  newly- 
erected  Elisabeth  Bath,  all  of  which 
are  fitted  with  modern  appliances  and 
are  very  comfortable. 

In  the  Kaiserbad  is  the  Medico- 
Mechanical  Establishment  of  the  City 
of  Carlsbad  for  Gymnastics,  Massage 
and  Hot-air  Treatment,  Sup.  Physic. 
Dr.  Tyrnauer,  It  is  a  famous  insti*"1e

'Curanstaltfur  Gichtkranke'  located 
in  Zawojski  House  on  the  Market  PI. 

Situated  opposite  the  Sprudel,  the 
institute  is  fitted  with  all  modern 
appointments  for  the  treatment  of 
gout.  Its  proprietor,  Dr.  Kickard 
Sachs,  tKe  author  of  the  well-known 
book  "Gout  Therapy  at  Carlsbad" 
has  carefully  adapted  the  remarkable 
advantages  of  Carlsbad  to  the  treat- 
ment of  this  disease  by  adding  to 
the  administration  of  the  waters  and 
the  application  of  hot-air  a  scienti- 
fically arranged  diet;  and  the  results, 
in  cases  of  chronic  gout,  have  conse- 
quently been  extremely  favourable. 

The  other  baiMinan  of  note  in  Garld- 
bad  are  principally  Chnrohes,  HoBpitnU 
and  the  liue^  Among  tbem  the  most 
important  are:—  The  Cattaolie  Ghareh,

among;  the  hills;  there  are  graTel-^ajni 
to  Sans-souoi,  Posthof,  Freamisohafts-

the  woods  are  mostly  shady,  and  have 
a  oomhined  length  of  nearly  IB  miles; 
at  frequent  intervals,  oomtortable  seats 
are  plaoed ;  while  the  views  which  open

GIESSHUBL  SAUERBRUNN. 

lesshiibl  Sauerbrunn  is  a  spa  which 
4         ot    easily  be    equalled   in    natural 
ictiona.  Its  valuable  spring  of  spark- 
mi  e^al   water  was  mentioned,  in 
by  Payer  de  Oubito  and  Beudenius, 
er  the  name  of  'Buchsauerling'*,  and 
ad  *a  long  known  and  health-giving 
»rage**.    Tn  the  year  1005^  nearly  fiOO 
ents  underwent  treatment  here;  while 
riaitors  numbered  upwards  of  49.000. 
lis  health-resort  is  about  1 ,025  ft. 
e  the  level  of  the  sea:  it  is  N.E. 


of  Carlsbad,  which  can  be  reached 
by  road  in  an  hour  and  a  half,  and 
by  railway  in  an  hour,—  Giesshfibl 
Sauerbrunn  having  had  a  rail  way  station 
from  1895.  The  spa  is  situated  in 
a  wide  valley  surrounded  by  heights, 
the  buildings  being  on  both  banks 
of  the  Eger,  which  makes  a  double 
bend  here  and  is  spanned  by  three 
bridges.  The  air  is  heavily  charged 
with  ozone,  especially  apparent  in 
the  early  morning.  The  ideal  of 
climatie  health-resorts  is  defined  in 
the  followmg  terms  by  Dr.  Schreiber 
of  Aussee: —  "A  place  exempt  from 
miasma,  free  from  dust  and  wind, 
where  there  is  the  minimum  of  organic 
matter,  and  where  there  are  not 
infrequent  atmospheric  depressions ; 
moreover,  where  there  is  pure,  fresh 


air  from  morning  to  night  and  from 
night  to  mommgi  throughout  the  year 
—  such  a  place  is  the  one  to  satisty 
all  impartial  and  unprejudiced  medical 
men*'.  Now,  as  has  been  proved  by 
experience,  all  these  conditions  are 
completely  rulfilied  at  Giesshiibl  Sauer- 
brunn.  Nowhere  else  do  nervous^  cofi- 
sumptive^  and  asthmatic  patients  feel 
more  comfortable  than  here^  and  for 
those  who  suffer  from  emphysema 
the    *^air  -  cure**     is    combined    with 


one  which  is  specially  adapted  to  re- 
lieve it.

it  has  a  stimulating  action  on  the 
diminished  mucous  secretion,  and,  at 
the  same  time,  is  invigorating  and 
nourishing. 

GiesshUbUr  Water,  on  account  of 
its  agreeable  flavour  and  its  mild, 
and  yet  decided,  action,  is  well 
adapted  for  children,  delicate  and 
weak  ladies,  and  for  gentlemen 
enervated  by  longstanding  illness. 
In  these  cases,  the  use  of  acidulated 
cold  and  alkalme  hot  springs  is 
restricted  on  account  of  morbidly 
increased  nervous  sensibility. 

The  beneflcial  use  of  this  acidulous 
Spring  during  a  cure  at  Carlsbad 
is  also  acknowledged  by  the  physi- 
dans  residmg  in  that  place,  and  it  is 
generally  recommended  as  an  after- 
cure.  Independently  of  its  important 
medicinal  value,  Mattoni's  GiesshUbler 
stands  foremost  among  similar  mmeral 
waters  as  an  ordinary  table  beverage, 
with  or  apart  from  the  meals,  be- 
cause it  quenches  the  thirst,  causes 
a  refreshing,  strengthening,  and  in- 
vigorating sensation,  and  imparts  to 
the  system  a  cooling  and  comforting 
influence. 

Maitoni's  GiesshUbler  water  is  not 
only  sold  all  over  Europe,  but  is 
also  in  demand  in  countries  across 
the  ocean,  where  agencies  for  its 
supply  are  to  be  found  in  their 
capitals.  It  is  obtainable  at  all 
mineral-water  depots  and  chemists* 
shops;  in  Austria-Hungary  all  grocers 
stock  it,  and  it  is  also  obtainable  in 
hotels,  cafes  and  restaurants.

Besides  the  springs,  there  is  a  hydro- 
pathic establishment  built  on  the  most 
modem  lines,  a  chamber  for.  inhaling 
the  flnely  eliminated  gaseous  water 
of  the  spring,  after  it  is  mixed  with 
pine-needle  oil,  tannin,  brine  and  other 
ingredients,  and  where  several  patients 
can  inhale  this  compound  in  company. 
There  is  also  an  arrangement  for 
inhaling  hoi  air;  a  pneumatic  chamber

1883.  There  is  a  bath-house  well- 
arranged  for  giving  all  kinds,  of 
medicated  and  electric  baths  and 
in  which  provision  is  made  for 
massage  and  electrical  applications  of 
all  kinds.  Finally,  the  best  cow's  fuid

an  establishment  in  which  all  foreign 
mineral  waters  may  be  drunk.

]Hne-woods  run,  —  in  various  direc-

number  of  well-kept  walks.  The  place 
possesses  a  reinarkably  healthy  climate, 
with  a  mean  temperature  of  7^5^  C, 
and  presents  a  most  beautiful  and 
idyllic  aspect 

The  resort  is  visited,  annually,  by  some 
30,000  guests,  exclusive  of  tourists  and 
travellers  (90,000).  These  are  attracted 
by  its  excellent  springs  as  well  as  by  the 
natural  beauty  of  its  situation  and  en- 
virons. Those  visiting  the  spa  fbr  the 
sake  of  its  waters  are  mostly  patients 
suffering  from  obesity,  gout,  diabetes, 
anaemia  or  scrofula ;  but  the  treatment  of 
kindred  complaints,  —  such  as  distur- 
bances of  the  digestive  organs    and 


of  the  circulatory  system,  as  well 
as  of  stone,  female  diseases  &c.  — 
is  also  very  successful.  Indeed,  the 
great  variety  of  the  springs,  together 
with  the  character  of  the  cliraate  and 
the  use  of  different  baths,  renders 
Marienbad  exceedingly  suitable  for 
families  in  which  there  are  invalids 
suffering  from  different  complaints. 
The  springs,  which  are  cold,  but,  in 
their  general  composition,  resemble 
those  of  Carlsbad,  may  be  divided 
into  the  following  three  groups: — 
(a)  Those  containing  Glauber's  salts,  of 
which  Kreuz  Brunnen  &  FerditMH^s 
Bruunen  are  the  stronger,-,  and 
AUxandrinenquelle  and  Waldquelle, 
the     weaker;     (p)     The    chalybeate

(7)  The  alkaline  spring,  call«d  Rudol/s-

1000  of  bicarbonate  of  calcium  and 
magnesium,  but  is  absolutely  free  from 
calcium  sulphate.  Moreover,  there  is 
a  spring,  termed  the  Marienquelle, 
which,  contaming  but  few  mineral 
salts  and  being  remarkably  rich  in 
carbome  acid,  is  employed  for  bathing 
purposes. 

The  waters  have  a  temperature  of 
about  10®  C  and,  according  to 
analyses,  answer  all  the  demands  of 


modern  therapeutic  science.  The  baths 
are  taken  in  buildings  fitted  with 
every  comfort  and  all  the  latest  ap' 
pliances:  they  consist,  in  general,  of 
carbonic-acid  baths,  steel  and  mud* 
baths  and  the  usual  hot-air,  vapour, 
and  cold-water  baths,  inhalations  ftc. 
Mother-lye,  pine-needles,  soda  Ac  are 
used  according  to  requirements.  The 
principal  bathing  establishments  lie 
at  the  foot  of  the  Kreuzberg,  along 
the  Hamelika  Brook,  and  are  named 
the  Neubad  (adjoining  the  Kurtaal), 
Central  Bad  and  Moorbad  (75,000

FRANZENSBAD  takes  its  name 
from  the  Emperor  Franz  II.,  under 
whom  it  was  founded  in  1793.  It 
formed  originally  a  part  of  Eger,  but, 
from  1852,  has  had  a  separate  exis- 
tence, having  been  then  disjoined 
Crom   the    parent  spa  and  raised,    a 


few   years  later,   to  the  status  of  a 
town. 

The  place  lies  on  an  extensive  and 
undulating   plateau,    at  the  great  ele- 
vation of  1,480  feet.     Surrounded  by 
mountain    heights,    its  atmosphere  Is 
pure,  moderately  dry  and  very  invi- 
gorating. The  mean  summer  tempera-

borders  it  on  the  E.,  is  the  Russian 
Church,  and,  to  the  S.,  opposite  the 
town  itself,  the  Catholic  Church: 
it  contains,  moreover,  a  bronze 
statue  of  the  Emperor  Franz  II. 
and  a  monument  to  the  Empress 
Elisabeth.  Beyond  the  town,  and 
between-  Kaiser  St.  and  Louisen  St., 
is  Situated  the  Kurhaus,  with  an 
extensive  colonnade. 

The  celebrity  of  the  spa  depends 
upon  the  great  efficacy  of  its  waters, 
which  rise  from  thirteen  springs. 
Though  varying  slightly  in  character, 
they  have  a  general  similarity,  and 
contain,  in  different  quantities,  sul- 
phates   and    carbonates    of    the    al- 


kalies, protoxide  of  iron  and  silicic 
acid.  All  of  them  are  charged 
with  sodium  chloride  and  jfree 
carbonic-acid  gas;  while  some  are 
also  remarkable  for  their  lithium 
carbonate,  the  Nataliequelle  being 
especially  remarkable  in  this  respect. 
The  strongest  of  the  springs  is 
the  Franzenshad  Quelle,  with  no 
less  than  32%  of  sodium  sulphate 
and  a  large  proportion  of  lithium 
and  sodium  salts.  The  waters  of 
this  chalybeate  spring,  which  is 
also  rich  in  carbonic  acid,  are  ex- 
ported in  vast  quantities  by  Mr. 
Henry  Mattoni  under  the  name  of 
Franzenshad  Natalie  Waters*    They

Among  the  great  many  admirers 
of  Salzburg  I  will  merely  quote  the 
words  of  the  great  naturalist  Alexander 
von  Humboldt,  who  said: — 

^'Salzburg  shares  with  Constan- 
tinople and  Naples  the  proud  dis- 
tinction of  possessing  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  situations  in  the 
world." 

It  would,  indeed,  be  difficult  to  find 
a  city  more  charmingly  placed,  at  it 
lies  in  a  natural  basin  encircled  by 
richly  wooded  heights  which  bank 
the  Salzach  on  both  sides.  As  to 
its  sanitary  condition,  Salzburg  was 
registered  at  the  Hygienic  Congress 
at  Vienna  1887  as  the  healthiest 
town  on  the  Continent.  Unmistakable 
signs  prove  that  a  Celtic  settlement 
existed  here  long  before  the  Romans 
established  the  military  station  of 
Juvavium.     Christianity    appears    to

have  been  introduced  at  an  early 
period,  and,  during  the  middle-ages', 
the  Castle  of  Hohen-Salzburg  — 
an  irregular,  feudal  citadel  built 
by  Archbishop  Gebhard  in  A.  D. 
1077  —  was  the  residence  of  the 
bishop-princes,  who  combined  the 
dignity  of  princes  of  the  German 
empire  with  their  ecclesiastical  rank. 
The  magnificent  cathedral,  of  white 
marble,  was  built  under  Arch- 
bishop Marcus  Sitticus  A.  D.  1614. 
It  contains  a  valuable  treasury, 
monuments  of  the  bishop  -  princes 
and  some  good  frescoes  and  paint- 
ings by  Mascagni  and  Sotari. 

The  Abbey  of  St.  Peter  is  the 
oldest  Chapter  in  Salzburg,  founded 
by  Sti  Rupert,  A.  D.  582:  a  very 
valuable  library  (40,000  volumes) 
is  to  be  seen  there.  The  Cemetery 
of  St.  Peter  is  well  worth  visiting. 
The  vault  hewn  in  the  face  of 
the  rock  and  the  chapels  attached 
and  dating  from  the  period  when 
they  were  consecrated  by  St. 
Rupert  A.  D.  582  are  very  interest- 
ing. The  composer,  Michael  Haydn, 
is  buried  there.  Connected  with 
the  Cathedral  by  white  marble 
Arcades  is  the  Residence  Schloss, 
winter  residence  of  the  bishop - 
princes.  It  contains  a  number 
of  very  remarkable  state  rooms 
with  beautiful  paintings  on  the 
walls  &c. 

Opposite  this  palace  is  the  Hof- 
brunnen,  a  fine  monumental  fountain 
in  white  marble  about  50  feet  high. 
On  the  same  square  is  situated  a 
tower  with  a  chime  of  bells  which 
usually  play  at  7,  11  and  6  o'clock. 
In  the  adjacent  square  is  the  bronze 


statue  of  Mozart  by  Schwanthaler, 
the  first  memorial  we  meet  with  of 
Salzburg's  great  composer.  He  was 
born  1756,  at  9  Getreide  Gasse,  3^^ 
floor.  His  birth-chamber,  now  turned 
into  a  very  interesting  museum,  is 
still  to  be  seen  here. 

The  summer  riding  -  school,  an 
amphitheatre  hewn  in  the  rock  at 
Monchsberg,  was  used  for  tourna- 
ments. The  town  Museum  contains 
a  large  number  of  very  valuable  ob- 
jects, a  whole  suite  of  rooms  fur- 
nished in  old  German  style  and 
rendering  a  visit  both  instructive  and 
interesting.  Open  daily  from  10  a.  m. 
till  4  p.  m. 

The  Mirabel!  Schloss,  built  by 
Archbishop  Wolf  Dietrich  in  1607, 
is  a  palace  of  vast  size,  and  possesses 
a  fine  stair-case  and  splendid  Marble 
Hall. 

Mirabell  Garden,  laid-out  in  Re- 
naissance style,  contains  numerous 
marble  statues  and  magnificent  groups 
of  trees. 

Near  the  town  bridge  there  ia  the 
house  of  Philippus  Theophrastus 
Paracelsus,  the  celebrated  naturalist, 
who  died  A.  D.  1541. 

In  the  grounds  of  the  Frontier

the  late  and  much-lamented  Empress 
Elisabeth  has  been  erected.

AUSSEE  ts  a  wellkown  climatic 
and  health  resort  in  the  N.  of  Styria 
and  belonging  to  the  Austrian  Salz- 
kammergut.  Surrounded  and  protected 
on  all  sides  by  the  Noric  Alps,  nature 
has  lavished  her  gifts  upon  Aussee 
with  an  unstinting  hand.  In  the 
immediate  neighbourhood  are  four  be- 
autiful lakes,  from  which  issue  as 
many  streams  to  form  the  turbulent 
Traun;  while  the  slopes  of  the  hills

are  covered  with  green  meadows, 
sombre  pine -woods  and  golden  fields 
of  comt  beyond  which  rise  the  snow- 
clad  peaks  of  the  Dachstein. 

The  salutary  effects  of  the  climate* 
combined  with  the  use  of  the  saline 
baths,  have  rendered  Aussee  famous, 
and  have  Mtracted  strangers  to  it  for 
more  than  a  century.  A  pavilion,  with 
hydro-treatment  ^c,  possesses  every 
convenience. 

The  forests  are  full  of  game,  the 
Traun  aftords  excellent  trout-fishing, 
and  the  lakes  are  well  stocked  with 
salmon-trout  and  char.

BODAPESIV  the  capitol  of  the  King- 
dom of  Hangaiy,  is  a  ime  town,  situated 
in  a  magnificent  spot  on  the  Danube. 
It  is  an  amalfi^amation  of  the  older,  bat 
much  smaller,  town  of  Bada  with  that 
of  its  younger  and  more  important  sister 
Pest,  and  is  now  divided  into  ten  districts 
(VAros),  namely,  Lip6t,  Bel,  Ferenos  Jdzsef , 
Srss^bet,  Ferenes,  KdbAnyA,  Taban  (with 
KrisstinaX  Visa  and  O  Buda.  Of  these 
the  last  three  lie  on  the  right  bank,  and 
the  others  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Danube, 
which,  varyini;  In  width  from  1,000  ft.  to 
2,000  ft,  is  spanned  by  four  fine  bridges. 
The  rapid  growth  of  the  town  since,  in 
1887^  Hungary  wrunff  firom  the  empire 
its  mdependenoe  and  the  management 
of  its  internal  affairs,  has  been  yery  re- 
markable, being  riralled  only  by  that 
of  Berlin  since  the  establishment  of  the 
German  Empire  in  1870.  It  is  now  one 
of  the  leadmg  commercial  towns  in 
BuropSk  and,  haTinic  been  built  for  the 
most  part  within  quite  recent  times,  is 
also  one  of  the  handsomest. 

Its  most  important  buildings  are  the 
following,  namely:— 

Academy  Palace,  a  tasteful  Renais- 
sance edifice  erected,  in  1864,  at 
Ferencz  Jdssef  ter,  a  square  at  the 
head  of  Lanczhid  or  Ketten  Brucke. 
Entering  the  building  through  a 
beautiAil  vestibule  supported  upon

specimens  of  the  French  and  Spanish 
schools.  In  front  of  the  building,  there 
is  a  bronze  Statue  of  Count  Szichinyi, 
the  founder  of  the  academy. 

Crossing   the   square,  beyond    the 
Police   Station,   the   Palace   of  the 
Prince  of  Cohurg,  and  \ht  Statue  of 
Franz  Dedk,  we  reach  the  Ferencz

Europe:  it  is  60  miles  long,  and  varies 
in  width  from  IV4  miles  to  9  miles. 
On  the  northern  bank,  there  are  many 
volcanic  peaks  and  hills,  whose  slopes 
produce  an  excellent  wine. 

The  railway  line  traverses  the  long 
S.  E.  shore  of  the  lake,  and  proceeds  to  the 
important  junction  of  the  CsAktomya 
Line  at  Nagy-Kanlssa,  a  town  ot  some 
'i20.000  inhab.,  doing  a  thriving  trade  in 
grain.  Beyond  it>  a  tew  lesd  notable 
places  are  called  at,  and  the  train  then 
stops  at  Csskathors,  the  junction  for 
Agram.  The  town  ot  Pettau,  with 
interesting  8cbloss  and  14^^  century 
church,  follows;  and  a  few  miles  further 
we  reach  Prsgerhof  on  the  direct  line 
to  Laibaoh  and  Trieste. 

Many  tourists,  however,  will  prefer  to 
leave  the  main  line  at  St.  Peter,  and 
proceed  direct  by  the  branch  line  to 
Flume  (see  route  62  B),  a  rapidly  de-

private  railway  in  Austria-Hungary,  and 
traverses  a  district  which,  in  beauty 
and  charm,  has  few  competitors. 

It  possesses  three  principal  trunks, 
the  main  line  being  that  which  connects 
Vienna  with  the  ports  of  Trieste  and 
Fiume.  Halfway  along  this  line,  namely 
at  Marburg,  the  second  trunk  branches 
off  westwards  through  the  Alps  of 
Carinthia  and  Tyrol,  .and  terminates  at 
Fransensfeste,  the  chief  junction  on  the 
third  trunk,  a  line  of  rail  extending  from 
KufBtein  on  the  northern  boandary  of 
Austria  to  Ala  on  the  S.,  and  formirg 


the  ioQost  important  member  of  the  old 
railroad  between  Germany  and  Italy. 

The  Vienna  and  Trieste  Line,  having 
passed  a  number  of  flourish  in  g  towns, 
strikes,  at  a  distance  of  10*/a  miles 
irom  the  capital,  into  the  heart  of  that 
rendeEVons  of  tourists,  the  Limestone 
Alps.  Soon,  the  incomparable  splendour 
of  the  Semmering  opens  out,  the  rail 
ascending  to  an  altitude  of  8,2*^0  feet 
in  order  to  climb  the  pass,  which  is 
reached  2V4  hrs.  after  leaving  Vienna.

The  Semmering  is  a  saddle-bank  in 
the  Oetisian  Alps  between  the  Fischbaoh 
and  Floning  Banges.  Even  as  early  as 
the  IStb  cent,  it  was  crossed  by  a  bridle- 
path which,  later  on,  gave  place  to  a 
coach- road.    In  recent  years  numerous 

food  roads  have  been  built  in  various 
irertions;  though  the  traffic  from  North 
to  South  now  goes  chiefly  by  rail. 

At  the  present  day  the  Semmering  is 
a  health-resort  of  universal  renown, 
owing  to  the  tonio  character  of  its 
climate  and  the  beauty  of  its  environs. 
The  place  consists  almost  solely  of  large, 
princely  hotels  and  the  Villas  and  man- 
sions of  Viennese  magnates.  It  is  pro- 
vided with  numberless  promenades,  dust- 
less  and  dry.  of  varied  gradient  and 
running  —  some  across  the  plateau,  — 
some  down  into  the  valley  j  its  fragrant 
forest  air  is   tre»h  yet  mild;   and  the 

Sicturesque  panorama  of  the  Middle 
.Ips  is  one  of  surpassing  grandeur. 
From  the  Semmering,  the  railway  runs 
down  across  St vr  a,  past  the  prettily 
situated  town  of  Graz,  and  past  Erain 
and  Laibacb  to  Trieste  and  Finme  on

GRAZ,  the  capital  of  Styiia  Steier- 
mark),  is  a  beautiful  town  situated  on 
the  banks  of  the  Mur,  under  the  shadow 
of  some  grand  heights  and  overlooked 
bjr  Schlossberg,  which  rises  from  its 
midst  and  is  crowned  with  a  high 
belfry -tower  and  other  erections.  The 
town  is  a  favourite  residence  of  Aus- 
trian officers,  and  poflBe!«ses  also  con-

of  ihe  Archduke  Johann;  while,  on  it,

built  in  1892  to  replace  the  old  Town 
Hall.  It  is  an  edifice  in  Renaissance 
style,  having  a  fa9ade  decorated  with 
statues,  and  a  stair-case  painted  with 
excellent  frescoes. 

Southwards  of  the  square,  in  Herren

FIUME  is  a  busy  town  beautifully  situ- 
ated on  the  Quamero  Gulf.  Known  to  anti- 
quity asOeneum,it  was  afterwards  styled, 
by  the  Patriarchs  of  Aquileia,  St.  Veit 
super  Flumen,  whence  its  Italian  name 
of  Flume.  Under  various  counts  and 
emperors,  its  development  was  fostered; 
but  it  was  not  until  it  came  under  the 
influence  of  the  commercial  policy  of 
Hungary,  in  1870,  that  it  began  to  attain 
to  the  important  position  which  it  now 
occupies.  Indeed,  at  the  present  day, 
it  is  the  chief  Hungarian  port;  and  the 
rapid  rise  in  the  commerce  of  that  country 
produces  an  ever-increasing  traffic. 

The  place  has  several  harbours,  the 
principal  being  the  Great  Harbour,  the 
Timber  Docks,  the  Porto  Canale  and  the 


Petroleum  Harbour.  Among  the  greax 
factories  will  be  found  such  big  con- 
cerns as  Whitehead's  Torpedo  Works. 
The  most  interesting  building  is 
The  Cathedral,  a  beautiful  structure, 
and  the  oldest  edifice  of  the  city.  Close 
by  is  Si.  Veitskirche,  erected  in  1630 
and  modelled  on  St.  Maria  delta  Salute 
in  Venice.  In  the  neighbourhood  stand 
the  Palace  of  the  Archduke  Joseph  and 
that  of  the  Governor,  The  place  also 
contains  a  theatre,  while,  near  the 
Corso,  there  is  an  old  tower,  beyond 
which  stands  a  Roman  arch.

TRIESTE,  the  capital  of  Istria  and 
the  principal  seaport  of  the  Austrian 
Empire,  is  magnificently  situated  at  the 
head,  of  the  Adriatic  Sea.  Its  po^^ulation, 
which  now  approaches  180,000,  is  trilin- 
gual, Italian  tending  to  obtain  the 
supremacy.  Its  large  harbour,  rebuilt 
some  25  years  since,  is  protected  by  an 
enormous  break- water  and  several  moles, 
the  number  of  vessels  entering  annually 
being  nearly  18,000.  These  include  the 
big  liners  of  the  Austrian  Lloyd,  whc«e 
dockyards  are  situated  in  the  S.  of  the 
town,  and  their  palatial  premises  ir  '* 
middle  of  the  harbour  near  Molo  c 
Sanitk  The  harbour  is  closed  on 
S.  by  Molo  S<»  Teresa,  at  the  enc 
which  rises  a  high  lighthouse,  ter 
Fanale  Marittimo.  The  toWn  itsel 
divided  into  two  very  distinct  parti 
the  fine  street,  via  del  Corso,  whioh  i 
from  Molo  St.  Carlo  eastwards  to  P. '

ingly  narrow  and  irregular  sti  1 
clustering  round  a  hiU  which  is  er  I

by   the  Cmstello.     At    iti    foot    stands 
the  old 

Cathedral,  built  upon  the  remains 
of  a  Roman  temple,  the  Roman  work 
being  recognisable  in  the  tower. 
The  present  building  was  erected  in 
three  parts  during  the  6th  cent.,  these 
being  converted  into  one  edifice  some 
800  years  lat^r. 

Close  by  is  the  Museo  Lapidarto, 
consisting  of  architectural  relics  dis- 
covered in  Trieste  and  the  neighbour- 
hood :  it  contains  also  a  cenotaph  in 
memory  of  the  celebrated  German 
antiquarian,  Winkelmann,  assassinated 
in  the  town  by  an  Italian.  A  short 
distance  westwards  is  the  Arco  di 
Riccardo,  probably  of  Roman  origin. 
A  few  paces  nortli  wards  of  this  arch 
is  the  Church  of  St.  Maria  MaggiorCy 
erected  by  the  Jesuits  in  the  1 7th  cent, 
and  decorated  with  beautiful  frescoes. 
Northwestwards  of  the  church,  at  the 
fine  square  called  Piazza  Grande^  rises 
the  Municipio  (Town  Hall);  while 
the  square  is  decorated  with  a  marble 
Statue  of  the  Emp,  Charles  VL  as 
well  as  with  a  fountain  erected  in 
1751  and  named  Maria  Teresa.  From 
here,  direct  southwards  through  V.  S. 
Sebastiano,  we  reach  Piazza  Lipsia, 
a  prettily  laid-out  square.  On  its 
eastern  side  stands  the  Academy  of 
Trade  and  Marine,  containing  two 
museums,  one  consisting  of  botanical 
and  zoological  collections,  the  other 
of  interesting  antiquities.  Hard  by,  at 
Piazza  Giuseppina,  rises  the  mansion 
of  Baron  Revoltella,  a  magnificent 
palace  which,  as  the  Museo  Civico 
Revoltella,  is  open  to  the  publle  daily 
from  1 1  a.  m.  till  2  p.  m.  Returning

1  .  The  Old  Bourse  is  a  handsome 
I  Mng  situated  opposite,  and  now 
1  ng  the  premises  of  the  Chamber 
\        — merce.  Close  by,  at  the  corner 


of  Via  St.  Nicolo,  and  opposite  the 
harbour,  rises  the  Greek  Church, 
whose  magnificently  decorated  interior 
is  well  worth  seeing. 

The  new  town,  a  regularly  built  and 
handsome  distriot,  contains  the  Caaale 
Grande,  beyond  which,  at  the  comer  of 
Riva  del  Sale,  is  the  interesting  Flsb 
Market.  At  the  head  of  the  Canal  is 
the  Chureb  of  St.  Antonio  Nhoto.  Still 
farther  eastwards,  beyond  Piasza  della 
Legna,  is  the  Teatro  Armonia.  Here 
begins 'the  fine  street  Via  del  Torrente, 
whence  a  car  may  be  taken  to  the  pretty 
public  gardens  (Giardino  pubblico)  in 
the  N.  E.  of  the  town. 

EXCUB8I0N8:  Beyond  the  gardens 
there  is  a  pretty  wood  (Boschetto):  Vs  br. 
iurther,  the  beautiful  villas  BeTOlteUa 
and  Ferdlnaadea,  the  former  offering  a 
splendid  view  of  the  city  and  the^  sea. 

A  more  distant  trip  is  by  rail  or 
steamer  to  MIramaK,  a  chAteau  erected 
by  the  Emperor  Maximilian  of  Mexico, 
in  a  lovely  spot  nearly  2  hours*  walk 
along  the  coast  to  the  N.  The  return 
may  be  made  by  the  inland  road  via 
Opcina,  whence  a  fine  panoramic  view 
of  Trieste  and  the  gulf  of  the  same 
name  is  obtained. 

This  Beautiful  gulf  has  been  justly 
styled  the 

AUSTRIAN  RIVIERA. 

Its  chief  resorts  are  erado,  Sistlana 
and  Porto  Bose,  which  lies  near 

PIRANO  (POP.:  12,500),  a  picture-

on  the  billy  sides  of  a  small  bay.  Half 
an  hoar  to  the  south  is 

PORTO  ROSE  (HOT.:  StabUisiento

which  an  omnibus  runs  (V*  hourX 

Opposite  Pirano,  on  the  north  shore 
of  the  Gulf  of  Trieste,  is 

GRAUO  (HOTELS:  Fortlno; 
erignaschi;  FonsarU,  a  rapidly  deve- 
loping watering-place  which  owes  its 
fame  to  its  splendid  sands.  The  resort 
is  wonderfully  salubrious  and  is  highly 
recommended  bv  the  faculty.  It  is 
especially  suitable  in  cases  of  convales- 
cence, nervousness  and  aniemia  as  well 
as  for  children  of  all  ages. 

The  town  possesses  a  Btii  cent. Cathedral 
and  other  buildings  of  some  interest. 

Moreover,  the  steamers  of  the'*Anstrian 
Lloyd",  traversing  the  Adriatic  in 
various  directions,  enable  the  tourist  to 
undertake  some  delig»itfxil  sea -trips. 
Of  these  the  favourite  is  down  the 
coast  of  Dalmatia,  a  district  rendered 
exceedingly  interesting  by  its  excep- 
tional natural  beauties  and  historical 
associations.  The  places  are  visited  in

ancient  castles,  a  most  picturesque  ap- 
pearance, the  medi»val  character  of  the 
place  being  enhanced  by  the  quaint

probably  out  of  the  Mausoleum  of

importance. 

Finally,  the  ruins  of  the  old 
ramparts,  of  the  amphitheatre  and 
of  other  edifices  deserve  attention; 
while  in  the 

Museum  many  relics  have  been 
collected,  most  of  which  have  been 
brought  from  the  oeigbbouring  site  of 
SaloHCB,  now  represented  by  the 
village  of  Salona. 

Among  the  islands  surrounding 
Spalato,  the  most  renowned  are 
those  of 

LESINA  and  LISSA.  The  former 
attracts  numerous  patients  seeking 
health  in  its  mild  climate.  The  latter, 
mountainous  and  fertile,  has  won  the 
cognomen  of  *'Malta  of  the  Adriatic*', 
Near  it  the  Italian  fleet  was  defeated, 
in  1866,  by  the  Austrians.  On  its 
western  coast  lies  Comisa,  the 
Centre  of  the  sardine  trade;  while 
close  by  is  the  Kttle  island  of  Bust,

note  is

Austrian  Lloyd  boats;  and  the  straits 
separating  it  from  the  peninsula

RAGUSA  is  very  picturesquely 
situated  on  the  slopes  of  Monte 
Sergio,  whence,  with  its  ramparts, 
bastions  and  towers,  it  stretches  sea- 
wards and  crowns  a  rocky  Jutland 
that  gives  it  much  the  same  appearance 
as  the  more  familiar  Monaco  of  the 
Riviera.  Indeed,  the  town  is  the  most 
interesting  and  beautiful  in  Dalmatia. 
The  drives  in  the  district  among 
luxuriant  and  sweet-scented  vegetation 
are  very  charming ;  while  the  costumes 
of  the  peasants,  the  Corso,  the  strand, 
and  numerous  noteworthy  edifices 
render  it  exceptionally  attractive  to 
tourists. 

The  most  important  buildings  are: — 

The  Franciscan  Church,  Sal' 
valor  Church,  the  Fountain  and  the 
Cathedral,  the  last  possessing  a  cele- 
brated treasury. 

The  breakers,  especially  as  seen 
from  the  Imperial  Hotel  when  the 
sirocco  is  blowing,  present  a  magni- 
ficent sight. 

In  the  neighbourhood  numberlesa 
delightful  excursions  may  be  made* 
The  favourite  are: — 

To  the  Isle  of  Lacroma,  whose 
monastery  is  said  to  have  been  built 
by  Richard  Cceur  de  Lion;  to  Breno;

the  renowned  Bocche  di  Cattaro.  The 
five-armed  bay,  which  forms  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  harbours  in  the  world, 
is  shut-in  by  high  find  precipitous 
cliffs,  beyond  which  the  mountains 
of  Montenegro  rise  to  an  elevation 
of  over  5,000  ft.  At  the  foot  of  one 
of  these  black  and  rugged  heights, 
named  Lovccn,  clusters  the  little  town, 
clinging,  like  a  martin's  nest,  to  the 
steep  wall  of  rock.  Indeed,  so  com- 
pletely is  the  place  enclosed  by  the 
cliffs,  that,  during  the  winter,  the 
rays  of  the  sun  shine  into  the  bay 
but  5  hours  a  day. 

The  town  possesses  a  cathedral, 
some  cloisters  and  a  few  other  buildings. 
But  its  chief  attraction  centres  in  its 
charming  situation  and  its  proximity  to 
Montenegro,  whence  the  peasants  enter 
the  town  with  market  produce,  being 
obliged  to  relinquish  their  weapons 
before  crossing  the  boundary.

tiful high -altar,  with  a  painting  by

This  lovely  spot,  lying  on  the  shores 
of  ihe  lake  to  which  it  has  given  its 
name,  and  overshadowed  by  grand  cliffs, 
is  a  very  favourite  summer-resort 

The  lake  that  spreads  out  round 
the  Jutland  on  which  the  little  town 
is  built  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful 
in  Tyrol,  and  is  a  favourite  place  for 
bathing  and  boating. 

Rowing  boats  and  a  small  steamer 
will  be  found  in  Zell,  the  latter  making 
the  tour  of  the  lake  eight  times  daily, 
and  the  trip  occupying  one  hour.  The 
view,  especially  from  the  middle  of  the 
lake,  is  very  fine:  in  the  southwest, 
rise  the  Imhachhorn  and  the  Hoke 
Tenn,  flanked  by  the  Kitzsteinhorn, 
the  Grieskogel  and  Hochciscr  on  the 
right,  and  by  the  Schwarzkopf  and 
Brennkogel  on  the  left:  in  the  west 
is  the  ridge  of  SchmiUenhohe.  The 
steamer  calls  at  Thumersbach,  where 
Villa  Riemann  is  situated.  The  latter, 
as  well  as  Seehiusl,  Restaurant  Wimm 
and  Restaurant  Alpenrose,  is  well- 
known  for  the  beautiful  views  which 
it  affords  across  the  lake. 

Amonff  the  mountnin  ascents,  the 
finest  is  that  of  Sehmlttenhohe  (6,460  ft.), 
a  olimb  of  three  hours,  for  which  the 
gnid.  s  charge  6  Kr.,  though  it  may  be 
mndu  alone.

ABBITiL:  By  wagonette  from  Zell  am 
See  to  Kapran,  60  min.,  to  Thnn-KIamm 
1  hr.  25  min.,  Kesselfall,  2  brs.  15  min.

Hoserbodeay  6,481  feet  above  sea -level. 

The  w^agonette  route  from  Zell  is  a 
ery  delightful  one.  We  first  descend 
)  the  turn-pike  road  running  through 
le  broad  valley  of  the  Pinzgau,  and 
en  across  the  stream  to  Kaprun.  This 
llage,  with  its  little  church  and  neigh- 
ouring  castle,  nestles  at  the  entrance 
)  the  valley  we  are  about  to  ascend. 
or  some  distance,   the  country  on 


both  sides  of  the  Adke  stream,  remains 
flat  and  green;  but  ahead  of  us  we 
can  see  the  dark  pines  that  mark  the 
celebrated  Sigmund  -  thun  -  Klamm. 
This  is  a  deep  and  narrow  ^ully 
through  which  rush  and  tumble  the 
waters  of  the  Ache.  On  reaching  it, 
we  alight,  and  wend  our  way  along 
the  wooden  viaduct  4hat  leads  for  a 
distance  of  1,160  ft  from  end  to  end 
of  the  ravine.  Here  the  sight  presented 
to  the  beholder  is  truly  magnificent. 
Below  us,  the  Ache  boils  and  bubbles 
over  enormous  boulders,  its  white 
foam  forming  a  beautiful  contrast  to 
the  green  net -work  of  the  foliage 
jutting  from  the  rock -fissures  above. 
Winding  through  the  ever- changing 
glen,  we  presently  descry,  high  over- 
head, the  elegant  Bilinski  Bridge,  to 
which  we  now  climb.  A  quiet  rest 
of  a  few  minutes  on  the  fresh  green 
meadows,  and  we  again  resume  our 
seats  and  drive  on  to 

Kessel  Fall,  a  cascade  of  exceedhig 
beauty.  Though  others  may  surpass 
it  in  height,  none  excel  it  in  picture- 
squeness  of  form  and  situation.  A 
mighty  volume  of  water  pours  down 
with  a  grand  sweep  into  the  black 
basin  below,  its  feathery  and  flashing 
foam  rendereds  nowy  white  in  appear- 
ance by  the  sombre  colour  of  the 
surrounding  rocks;  while,  close  by, 
five  brooks  hurry  down  and  add 
their  spray  to  that  of  their  lordly 
neighbour.  The  vaiying  illumination 
at  different  periods  of  the  day-time 
produces  many  diverse  aspects  of  light 
and  shade;  and,  at  night,  the  falls, 
illuminated  by  electric  lamps  present 
a  fairy-like  aspect 

Having  rested  at  the  hotel,  we 
proceed,  either  on  foot  or  on  horse- 
back (3  hours),  to 

Moserboden  (hotel)  at  the  foot  of 
Earlinger  Glacier. 

Zell  has  railway  communication 
with  the  trunk  line  from  Munich  to 
Ala,  the  junction  on  this  route  being

This  forms  the  third  trunk  line  of 
the  Austrian  Southern  Railway,  and 
runs  from  the  Bavarian  boundary 
past  the  beautiful  Lake  of  Achen  to 
Innsbruck,  where  it  begins  to  climb 
towards  the  Brenner  Pass.  The  prin- 
cipal places  on  this  section  are 
Gossensass,  Bozen  and  Meran,  the 
second  resort  being  the  centre  for 
the  glaciers  of  the  Ortler  and  the 
Dolomites,  while  the  last  of  them  is 
the  winter  refuge  of  thousands  of 
sufferers. 

From  Bozen,  the  rail  follows  the 
course  of  the  Etsch  southwards  to 
Neumarkt-Tramin,  whence  one  reaches 
Martino  di  Castrozza,  a  beautiful 
summer  -  retreat  and  tourist  station 
situated  among  the  Pala  Dolomites. 
Not  far  from  Neumarkt-Tramin  lies 
San  Micbele,  whence  a  new  road 
gives  access  to  the  Alpine  resort 
of  Madonna  di  Campiglio  and  Rabbi- 
Bad,  situated  in  the  saddle  between 
the  Brenta  Dolomites  and  the 
Presanella   Group.     But  the  railroad 


continues  in  a  southerly  dinctioa 
to  Trient,  Rovereto  and  Mori,  this 
last  station  being  the  junctioD  for 
Arco,  Riva  and  the  Lake  of  Garda. 
From  Mori,  the  "Sudbahn"  runs  on 
to  Ala,  and  joins  there  the  Italian 
Southern  Railway  (Strade  ferrAt« 
meridionali). 

In  travelling  along  this  route  it  it 
advisable  to  be  provided  with  refresh- 
ments as  far  as  Innsbruck  (excellent 
restaurant),  the  Station  Restaurant  at 
Kufstein  being  exceedingly  bad* 


KUFSTEIBT  (POP.:  6,000.  —  flO^.i 
Anraeher  Bria;  Poft),  lies  close  to  Ibe 
Austro  -  German  frontier,  and  forms 
the  customs  station  between  the  two 
empires.  The  town  is  prettily  situated 
near  Mount  Kalvarien.  Above  tbe 
place  there  stands  an  old  fortress 
called  Geroldseck;  while  the  neigh- 
bourhood affords  some  admirable 
excursions,  especially  those  up  the 
Inn  Valley. 

In  tbe  neighbouring  Kaiser  llta.  lii«

Some  5  miles  further,  we  reach 

JEBTBACH  (HOTELS:  ToleramKi  PmI), 
a  small  town  contaming  several 
foundries  &c.  and  forming  the  station 
for  the  beautiful  Ziller  Valley.  Tbe

runs  right  through  the  valley*

INNSBRUCK,  the  capital  of  Tyrol 
and,  among  the  towns  of  Austria, 
rivalled  for  beauty  only  by  Salzburg, 
is  a  pleasant  summer  and  winter 
resort  beautifully  situated  on  the 
banks  of  the  Inn,  and  picturesquely 
surrounded  by  high  and  rugged 
mountains,  glimpses  of  which  one 
catches  at  every  turn  while  strolling 
through  the  city.  Indeed,  this  is 
one  of  the  great  characteristics  of 
the  place;  and  the  streets  and  fine 
squares  appear  to  have  been  buflt 
with  this  purpose  in  view. 

Passing  from  the  station  through 
Rudolf  St.,  we  reach  Margareten  n« 


421 


a  square  embellished  with  a  fountain, 
named  Rudolfsbrunnen,  which  was 
erected  in  1877,  to  commemorate 
the  Ave  -  hundredth  anniversary  of 
the  union  of  Tyrol  with  Austria. 
It  bears  an  equestrian  statue  of 
Leopold  v.,  and  is  adorned  with 
bronze  figures  by  Caspar  Gras,  dating 
from  the  1 7th  cent  Turning  down 
Karl  St.,  we  visit 

The  Ferdinandeum  or  National 
Museum,  named  after  its  founder, 
Ferdinand  I.  The  original  intention 
of  the  collections  was  to  illustrate 
the  history  and  customs  of  Tyrol, 
but,  among  them,  there  are*  many 
works  of  art  by  foreign  painters. 
The  museum  contains  a  number  of 
Roman  antiquities,  biological  and 
pal seonto logical  collections,  cabinets 
of  minerals  and  a  fairly  extensive 
Picture  Gallery:  in  the  last  will  be 
found,  besides  the  pictures  byTyrolese 
masters,  several  specimens  of  the  Dutch 
School  and  a  few  of  the  Italian. 

Museum  St  opens  into  .Burg 
Graben,  which  forms  the  boundary 
between  the  old  and  new  towns.  To 
the  right,  the  street  passes  through 
an  archway  to  the  Hofburg  and  its 
adjacent  church  called  Franziskaner- 
hirchc.  This  latter  building  was  erected 
by  Emp.  Ferdinand  I.,  between  the 
years  1553  and  1563.  The  building, 
which  is  renowned  for  its  magnificent 
tomb  of  Maximilian,  has  been  well 
styled  the  Westminster  of  Tyrol.  The 
tomb  is  surrounded  by  28  enormous 
bronze  statues,  having  some  real  or 
fancied  connection  with  the  House  of 
Hapsburg.  The  finest  of  them  are 
those  representing  King  Arthur  and 
Theodoric,  which  are  thought  to  be 
master-pieces  of  Peter  Viscucr's.    To 


tl)e  left  of  the  entrance  is  the  tomb 
of  Andreas  Hoftr  with  his  comrades, 
Flaspinger  and  Speckbacher,^  the  de- 
liverers of  Tyrol.  Opposite  is  a  mo- 
nument to  the  Tyrolese  who  fell  in 
the  war;  while  the  buildmg  also  con- 
tains the  tomb  of  Archduke  Ferdinand  II. 
and  his  first  wife,  Philippine  Welser 
von  Augsburg,  which'  will  be  found 
in  the  beautiful  chapel  called  (from 
the  statue  of  the  Virgin  Mother  cast 
in  silver  and  from  the  silver  de- 
corations of  the  ebony  altar)  the 
'Silbeme  Kapelle'. 

The  Hofburg  was  erected  originally 
by  the  Emperor  Maximilian,  but,  having 
sustained  considerable  injuries,  was 
rebuilt  by  order  of  Maria  Theresia.  It  is 
partly  Barocco  in  style,  and  contains 
a  number  of  apartments  worth  seeing, 
such  as  the  Riesensaal  and  the  Kapelle. 
To  the  N.  of  the  Hofburg  stands 
St.  Jacob* s  P/arrkirche,  a  structure 
completed,  in  1724,  in  late-Renais- 
sance style;  above  the  altar,  there 
is  a  celebrated  painting  by  Lucas 
Kranach,  called  Mariahilf.  Near  the 
Hofburg  stands  the  theatre,  which, 
erected  in  1840  on  the  site  of 
Archduke  Ferdinand's  theatre  (built 
in  1653),  is  the  leading  provincial 
playhouse.  In  front  ot  the  building, 
there  is  a  fine  equestrian  statue  of 
Archduke  Leopold  V.  Close  by  rises 
an  attractive  building  containing  the 
Town  Assembly  Rooms,  where 
fancy  -  dress  balls,  concerts  and 
other  interesting  entertainments  take 
place. 

In  the  same  street  is  situated  the 
University,  founded  by  the  Emperor 
Leopold  L  in  1677;  and  in  connec- 
tion with  which  there  is  a  Ubr^"' 
consisting  of  some  80,000  volum

the  falseness  of.  his  sur-name.  Op- 
posite stands  Holbliughaus,  a  richly 
decorated  Rococo  structure.  Beyond 
it  rises  the  old  Beljry  Tower  (Stadt- 
Thurm);  while,  passing  through  the 
quaint  arcades  (Lauben),  we  reach 
the  centre  of  the  town,  a  busy  spot, 
near  the  banks  of  the  Inn,  where  the 
Markt  Graben  (coming  irom  Markt  PI. 
and  Friedrich  St)  and  Burg  Graben 
meet  Maria  Theresien  St  Turning

Close  to  it  is  the  house  of  the  native

The  place  straggles  along  the  right 
bank  of  the  Talfer  for  a  long  distance, 
and,  owing  to  its  delightful  climate, 
fomss  a  veritable  oasts  in  the.  valley 
of  the  Etsch. 

Gries  possesses  a  Kurhaus  with 
reading-room,  cafe-restaurant  &c.,  and 
is  essentially  a  winter  spa,  the  hotels 
being  closed  during  the  summer. 

Among  the  walks  in  Gries,  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  is  the  climb 
(20  min.)  to  Erzherzog  Heinrich 
Promenade. 

In  the  immediate  neighbourhood  of 
Bozen-Gries  there  is  some  magnificent 
country,  the  favourite  trips  being  the 
following:— 

WALK  S  t  These  are  very  namerous, 
but  the  most  celebrated  is  to  KalTarien- 
berfy  whence  the  view  of  Boeen  and 
the  environs  is  very  fine. 

From  Kalvarienberg,  the  new  fnni- 

onlar  (1007>  leads  to  the  Tirgl  Warte, 

from  which  the  prospect  is  even  more 

extensive:  the  return  may  be  made  by 

a  good  winding  path  to  Eisak  BriLoke. 

From  this  bridge,  a  road  on  the  ri^ht- 

hand    rone    to    the    railway  junction, 

whenoe  a  foot-path  to  the  left  leads 

past  Haslaoh  and   through  the  woods 

to  Haselbnrgy  an  old  castle  belonging 

to  the  counts  of  Toggenburg  and  pic- 

tnresqnely  situated  near  the  edge  of  a 

nreoipice.    From  this  spot,  we  follow  a 

foot-path  southwards  for  a  qnarter  of 

an  hour,  and  then  bend  to  the  right 

past  St.  Jacob  to  the  high  road  which 

»ads  back  to  Bosen. 

Another  nice   walk  is   to  Sarnthal, 

e  route  lying  along  the  left  bank  of 

^  Talfer,  beneath  the  old  castle   of 

Bkelsfteln  (Vi  hr.)  and  past  the  rugged 

1  precipitous  Jehanns'Kefels;  through 

jEggenthal  by  coach. 

(XCUBSIONS:   (1)  There   are  a 

nber   of  old   castles   lying   in    the 

ley,  beyond  whioh  (iVi  hours)  is  an 

oalled  Halbwegwirth ;  two  hours 


further  is  SarathelB,  a  beautifully  situ- 
ated summer^resort,  where  the  ruins  of 
Kranxelstein  and  Bheineek  Castles  will 
be  found.  f2)  To  the  favourite  summer 
resorts  of  St.  Isidor  and  Kollem,  near 
which  are  the  heights  of  Tits^ben, 
Rotwand  and .  Deutschofen.  (8)  To  the 
extensive  plateau  called  Bitten,  which, 
lying  between  the  Kisak  and  the  Talfer 
and  fanned  by  cool  breeses,  remains 
refreshing  even  in  the  height  of 
summer.  For  this  reason,  its  resorts, 
of  which  the  principal  are  Ober-Bozen 
and  Klobenstein,  are  much  frequented, 
during  the  supimer  months,  by  guests 
from  Bosen.  Both  these  spots  afford 
magnificent  views  of  the  Dolomite 
Mountains,  and  —  now  that  the  Rittner 
Oog- Railway  has  been  completed  — 
are  easy  of  access.  (4)  An  exceedingly 
beautiful  trip  by  the  Ueberersoher  Rail- 
way to  the  vine-clad  Kaltem  Falley 
(Alt:  1,880 feet.  —  Hot.  R6sst),  and  thence, 
by  the  new  Mendel  Railway  (one  of  the 
boldest  structures  i|;L  the  world)  to  the 
Mendel  Pass.  The  railway  has  a  gentle 
gradient  as  far  as  St.  Aston  {Alt:  1,675 
feet);  but  here  it  rapidly  becomes 
steeper,  the  ascent  (26  minutea)  being 
made  by  a  funicular  of  modem  con- 
struction and  great  strength.  The  route 
affords  magnificent  views  of  mountain 
and  woodland.

MENDEL  PASS  may  be  reached 
from  Bozen  in  one  and  a  half  hours 
by  rail  or  in  five  hours  by  carriage. 
The  Mendel  road  forms  a  sight  of 
the  first  order.  It  runs  through 
the  charming  valley  of  the  Ueber- 
etschy  forming,  with  its  castles  ant 
traditions,  a  sight    which  never  fails

to  fascinate  the  mind  and  sense. 
As  we  ascend,  the  views  become 
grander  and  grander.  At  our  feet 
lie  vine-girdled  villages  among  lakes 
and  streams  surrounded  -by  th^ 
Dolomites  of  the  Rosen -Garten,  by 
Latemar,  Weiss  and  Schwarzhorn, 
by  the  PalU  Group,  Gross- Venediger, 
Rittnerhom,  by  the  Oetzthaler  and 
Zillerthaler  Alps. 

,  The  Mountain  Railway  up  the 
Mendel  (from  Bozen  1  hour  20  min.) 
climbs  a  height  of  1000  metres. 
Both  in  landscape  beauty  and  in  the 
difficulties  which  have  been  sur- 
mounted, the  railway  is>  of  its  kind, 
unique. 

The  enormous  viaducts,  tunnels  and 
cuttings  along  its  track  and  a  gradient 
of  60%  place  it  among  the  first  rank 
of  mountain  railways. 

Mendel  Pass,  itself,  erjoys  a 
magnificent  situation,  being  enclosed 
on  all  sides  by  extensive  needle- 
woods.  The  many  walks  and  fine 
points  of  view ,  such  as  Penegal 
(1  hour.  —  Restaurant  moderate)  and 
Monte  Roen,  are  unrivalled.;  so  that 
Mendel  Pass  is  especially  suitable  for 
a  prolonged  sojourn  in  summer  and 
autumn. 

From  Mendel,  excursions  may  be 
made  to  Madonna  di  Campiglio, 
Rabbi -Bad  and  into  the  Nonsthal 
(Val  di  Non),  a  beautiful  and  romantic 
valley  with  numerous  picturesque 
ravines.     (See  page  437.) 

Throagh  the  DOLOVIITES  from  BOZEN  to 
KARER  PASS,  TOBLACH  4o. 

This  new  carriage  road  is  considered 
the  most  beautiful  in  £urope.  It  rune 
from  Boaen  through  the  romantlo  Eggen 


Thai  to  Karer  Pass  (branch  road  across 
Moena  to  S.  Martino  di  Castrossa),  and 
thence  throagh  the  Fassa  ^kal,  and

CORTINA,  the  chief  town  of  the 
Vale  of  Ampezzo,  lies  half-way  between 
Toblach  (see  route  53)  and  Pieve  di 
Cadore  (see  route  74  a).  It  occupies 
a  magnificent  situation  and  contains 
a  fine  Campanile  (198  fL)  and  a  hand- 
some church  with  a  fine  interior.  The 
surrounding  country  affords  number- 
less opportunities  for  touring;  one  of 
the  favourite  excursions  is  to  the 
Belvedere  on  the  Crepa. 

At  Cortina  the  road  forks,  one  branch 
going  to  Toblach  (see  route  68)  and  the 
other  to  Boroa  and  Bellnno  (route  74a). 

Whether  coming  from  Bosen  or  from 
Cortina  or  from  San  Martino  di  Castrozza, 
it  is  advisable   to  break  the  journey  at 

KARER  PASS  (ALT.:  5,770  feet.  —

fully situated  amid  pine -forests  with

The  Kurhaus  is  an  imposing  struc- 
ture with  reading-rooms,  smoking- 
rooms,  ball-room,  restaurant,  cafe  &c. 
There  is  also  a  spacious  hall  where 
reunions,  dances  and  balls  are  held 
and  where,  in  bad  weather,  the 
orchestra  play^. 

There  are  h'kewise  ample  arrange- 
ments for  outdoor  recreation.  The 
principal  attraction  during  the  summer 
is  the  "Sport  Platz"  whose  outer  ring  is 
used  for  trotting  and  cycling  and  its 
inner  ring  as  a  race-course;  while  the 
centre  contains  tennis-courts,  a  foot- 
ball ground,  a  cycling  track*  &c. 
During  the  winter  excellent  skating 
is  to  be  had. 

The  town  of  Meran  forms,  with  the 
neighbouring  communities  of  Ober- 
mais,  Uniermais  and  Gratsch,  a 
celebrated  resort,  bearing  the  name 
of  Kurort  Meran.  It  is  perhaps  the 
most  ancient  town  of  any  importance 
in  Tyrol,  the  Romans  having  been 
enticed  hither  by  the  beautiful  scenery 
and  delightful  climate. 

Situated  on  the  banks  of  the  Passer, 
about  a  quarter  of  an  hour  distant 
from  its  confluence  with  the  Etsch, 
and  open  only  to  the  S.,  Meran  nestles 
on  the  southern  slopes  of  the  Alps. 
From  among  picturesque  villas,  stands 
out  the  spire  of  its  14tb  cent,  church, 
a  Gothic  building  with  an  admirable 
altar-piece  by  Knoller.  The  houses 
are  mostly  surrounded  by  pretty 
grounds  and  gardens,  and  stand 
thickest  together  near  the  railway 
station,  stretching  out  and  separating 
towards  the  outskirts  of  the  town, 
and  creeping  here  and  there  up 
the  steep  sides  of  the  gigantic 
mountains. 

Many  of  the  buildings  in  the  centre 
of  the  place  are  some  centuries 
old;  while  the  castle,  erected  about 
the  middle  of  the  15th  century,  is  a 
well-preserved  specimen  of  mediaeval 
architecture.  Beyond  the  Castle  is 
the  entrance  to  the  newest  and 
most    beautiful    of   the   promenades, 


1 


Tappeinerweg,  wt?ich  winds  up  the 
Kiichelberg,  past  the  Pulverthurm, 
to  Ortenstein,  affording  at  every 
turn,  an  excellent  view  of  the  town 
and  valley. 

Another  fine  walH  is  that  between 
the  railway  bridge  and  the  Naggelten  j 
Steg,  where  Gisela  Promenade  begins,  i 
a  road  lined,  on  the  town  side,  by 
enormous  poplars  and  containing  the  | 
^Kurhaus',  with  its  theatre,  concert  \ 
hall,  bathing  establishments  &c. 

Crossing  thf  Passer  by  the  new 
Iron  Bridge,  w«  reach  the  Winter 
Quarter,  with  iis  wealth  of  sub- 
tropical and  foreign  plants.  Here, 
the  eye  wanders  with  delight  along 
the  opposite  b^nk  of  the  stream, 
which,  thickly- wooded,  leads  up  the 
hill  to  Obermais  (see  below).  Along 
the  Tappet ner  Sieg,  we  ^  pass  Vtlla 
Kuhn,  and  reach  the  Shinernen  Sieg, 
whose  sweeping  arches  of  stone  lead 
across  to  the  opposite  bank. 

Beyond  this  narrow  but  imposing- 
bridge,  which  is  doubtless  of  Roman 
origin,  opens  out  the  gem  of  Meran's 
gardens,  namely,  the  GilfscklHchfm 
This  ravine,  growing  narrower  and 
narrower  as  we  advance  towards 
Zenoburg,,  becomes  a  mere  gully  at 
the  spot  where  the  hissing  and 
boiling  waters  of  the  Passer  have  burst 
through  the  rocks  that  hindered  their 
rushing  path.  As  one  rises  through 
the  gorge,  the  prospect  becomes  in- 
creasingly beautiful:  the  picturesque 
Steinerner  Steg  is  reflected  in  the 
clear  waters  of  the  Passer;  while, 
beyond,  we  catch  glimpses  of  the 
Ctsch  Valley,  the  town  and  the  Castls 
of  Lebenberg. 

Crossing  the  Steinerner  Steg,  we 
arrive  at  the  Summer  Quarter 
Meran,  situated  on  the  left  banl 
the  stream.  Numerous  promena 
with  seats  in  solitude  broken  < 
by  the  babbling  waters,  lead  thrc 
avenues  of  elms  and  Himala 
cedars  to  broad  terraces,  and,  fir 
upwards  to  Obermais.

MAIS  consists  of  two  sister  villages, 
named  Ober^  and  Unicrtnais,  standing 
among  green  meadows  on  a  strip  of 
4and  formed  by  the  waters  of  the  Naif, 
which,  for  thousands  of  years,  have 
been  depositing  their  silt  at  the 
mouth  of  the  gully  through  which  they 
rush. 

Obermais  forms,  as  it  were,  an  in- 
dispensable appendage  to  Meran, 
where  larger  families  stay  for  the 
season,  and  where  many  have  taken 
up  a  permanent  residence.  The  place 
consists  almost  solely  of  elegant 
villas  and  boarding-houses,  castles 
and  ch&teaux. 

One  of  the  great  charms  of  Obermais 
consists  in  its  beautiful  vineyards, 
through  which  the  way  winds  in 
continual  curves,  affording  a  kaleido- 
scopic view  of  .  fragrant  rose  -  girt 
gardens,  of  ivy-mantled  walls,  of 
grandly  preading  trees,  old  castles, 
nearer  valley  and  more  distant  hill. 

Among  the  strolls  in  and  around 
Obermais,  perhaps  the  most  beautiful 
is  that  past  the  cypress-avenues  of 
Rubein  Castle,  and  across  the  Naif 
to  the   Church  of  SL  Valentine,  re- 


turning either  via  Rametz  or  Iraut- 
mannsdorf  Castle,  to  Rottenstein 
Castle,  the  residence  of  the  Arch- 
duke Franz  Ferdinand  of  Austria 
and  to  the  beautiful  ivy- covered 
Castle  of  Planta. 

Another  delightful  walk  is  to  Leben- 
berg  (1^4  hours),  which  possesses 
some  rooms  decorated  with  frescoes 
illustrating  the  history  of  the  Castle; 
while  the  view  into  the  Valley  of  the 
Etsch  is  exceedingly  fine.

RABBI  is  a  much-frequented  spa 
and  mountain-station  of  unusual  ele- 
vation, pleasantly  situated  among 
meadows  and  fine  forests.  Protected 
from  north  winds  by  Mount  Cevedale 
and  Mount  Saent  and  located  at  the 
head  of  a  steep  valley  which  ensures 
quick  drainage  and  a  dry  soil,  it 
enjoys  an  invigorating  mountain 
climate  of  great  benefit  in  nervous 
complaints. 

The  springs  are  of  European  fame 
and  contain  1*68  free  carbonic  acid, 
0*84  sodium  bicarbonate,  0*05  mag-

of  iron  oxide,  0*03  calcium  bicar- 
bonate and  0*03  sodium  chloride 
with  small  quantities  of  salicylic

is,  therefore,  the  possession  of  iron 
oxide  and  carbonic -acid  gas;  and 
they  are  therefore  very  useful  in 
cases  of  anaemia  complicated  by 
gastric  troubles  as  well  as  highly 
beneficial  in  the  treatment  of  neu-

MADONNA  DI  CAMPIGUO,  former- 
ly a  famous  monastery,  has,  in  recent 
years,  become  a  favourite  health- 
resort.  It  lies  in  a  charmmg  spot 
surrounded  by  Alpine  meadows  and 
extensive  woods  of  conifer,  and  shut 
in  on  the  one  side  by  the  mighty 
Brenta  Dolomites  and  on  the  other 
by  the  glowing  glaciers  of  Adamello 
and  Presenella.  Protected  thus  from 
bleak  winds  and  yet  having  an  ex- 
ceptional altitude,  it  enjoys  a  delight- 
ful and  salubrious  climate  and  is 
consequently  much  frequented  by 
the  most  aristocratic  circles  both  of 
Europe  and  America. 

The  coach  or  carriage  drive  to 
Trient  is  a  very  fine  one.  It  traverses 
first  the  Rendena  Valley,  past  Tione 
and  Comano  to  Alle  Sarche.  Thence, 
having  passed  Terlago  and  Vezzano 
and  several  beautiful  lakes,  it  enters 
the  romantic  Buco  diVela,  and  winds

TRIENT  is  an  old  town  known 
to  the  Romans  under  the  name  of 
Tridentum.  It  is  now  practically  an 
Italian  town,  with  an  important  trade 
in  wines,  and  a  fair  silk-rearing  and 
silk-spinning  industry. 

Lymg  in  a  fertile  plain  on  the  left 
bank  of  the  Adige,  and  surrounded 
by  grand  hills,  Trient  presents  to 
the   eye    of    the    beholder,   standing 


487 


on  one  of  the  heights,  a  magnificent 
panorama.  Among  its  domes  and 
spires,  which  then  come  into  view, 
the  most  important  structure  is  the 

Cathedral,  which  seems  to  have 
been  founded  in  the  4th  or  5th  cent., 
though  the  present  edifice  was  begun 
at  the  opening  of  the  13  th  cent. 
The  erection  is  a  massive  basilica, 
with  an  airy  and  elegant  gallery  and 
an  exceptionally  beautiful  wheel-  f- 
fortune  window.  The  general  effect 
of  the  exterior  is  very  pleasing,  but 
is  somewhat  spoiled  by  the  16th  cent. 
tower  added  on  the  right-hand  side, 
and  whose  only  virtue  is  its  euphoni- 
ous bell.  The  interior  contains  some 
interesting  altars  and  t'le  remains  of 
some  old  frescoes;  while,  among  its 
ancient  tombs,  is  one  bearing  an 
inscription  dated  1212,  and  intimating 
that  the  edifice  was  founded  by 
Arogni  of  Como  under  the  Bishop- 
Prince,  Friedrich  von  Wanga. 

St.  Maria  Maggiore  is  an  edifice 
of  somewhat  later  date  than  the 
above.  Built  of  Tridentine  marble, 
in  simple  classical  style,  it  produces 
a  solemn  effect  upon  the  visitor. 
The  interior  contains  some  fine  works 
of  art,  a  celebrated  organ  and  three 
Barocco  altars. 

The  Museo  Comunale  possesses 
collections  of  Roman  antiquities  &c. 
Before  the  T^ailway  Station  there  is 
a  large  monument  to  Dante. 

By  reason  of  its  delightful  climate 
and  the  beauty  of  its  environs, 
Trient  has  become  a  very  favourite 
resort. 

Above  the  town,  eastwards,  is  the 
well-preserved  Castello  del  Buon 
Consiglio,  begun  by  the  Bishop- 
Prince,  Johann  von  Hinderbach  in 
the  15th  cent.,  the  part  erected  by 
him  being  the  elegant  Venetian  lodge 
with  Gothic  columns  which  forms 
the  most  beautiful  part  of  the  fa9ade. 
From  the  fine  round-tower  a  splendid 
view  is  obtained.

LEVICO-VETRIOLO 

(see  cover) 
is  one  of  the  finest  spas  in  South 
Tyrol,  and  lies  in  a  high  valley  sur- 
rounded by  splendid  forests  and 
Alpine  scenery  of  the  grandest  des- 
cription. To  these  beauties  of  nature 
are  added  the  wonderful  curative 
effects  of  its  celebrated  springs, 
which,  combined  with  the  balmy 
and  ozoniferous  character  of  the 
atmosphere )  have  brought  health 
and  invigoration  to  many  thousands 
of  sick  and  suffering.  Levico  is 
indeed  a  panacea  for  a  large  pro* 
portion  of  suffering  humanity,  who 
find  here  relief  from  all  sorts  of 
complaints,  whether  connected  with 
disorders  of  the  digestive  organs, 
of  the  circulatory  system  or  with 
other  organic  disturbances,  —  espe- 
cially impurity  of  the  blood,  nervous 
complaints  and  skin  diseases. 

In  the  whole  medical  world,  it  is 
now  recognised  that  springs  containing 
arsenic  and  iron  possess  the  excellent 
characteristics  of  being  able  to  cure 
a  large  number  of  diseases. 

Levico  is  easily  reached  from  all 
quarters.  Since  the  opening  of  the 
Valsugana  Railway  in  1897 ,  the 
number  of  visitors  has  risen  by  leaps 
and  bounds.  The  line  passes  through 
a  series  of  constantly  changing 
scenery ,  which  unfolds  itself  in 
romantic  beauty  before  the  eye  of 
the  traveller.  Whereas,  formerly,  three 
hours  were  required  to  reach  Levico 
from  Trient  by  diligence,  the  loco- 
motive now  gives  access  to  the  spa 
in  an  exceedingly  short  time;  indeed, 
one  might  well  say  that  the  journey 
is  too  brief;  since  the  eye  never 
grows  weary  of  watching  the  ravines, 
the  valleys,  the  mountains  and  the 
streams  that  constantly  open  Qut  to 
view.  Moreover,  the  extension  of 
the   railway,   shortly   to   take  place,

will  add  still  further  to  the  importance 
of  Levico  among  Continental  spa?: 
this  railway  wiM  run  from  Tezze  via 
Bazano  either  to  PaJiia  or  to  Venice, 
and  will  render  it  possible  to  reach 
Levico  in  from  2  lo  3  hrs.  Of  at 
least  equal  importance  is  the  new 
carriage  road  which  connects  Levico 
with  Vetriolo,  where  the  springs 
have  their  origin.  This  last  forms 
the  chief  item  in  the  whole  programme 
by  which  the  future  of  the  spa  will 
be  determined^  as  it  wii)  enable  the 
use  of  the  waters  &c,  to  be  trans- 
ferred, during  ihe  hot  summer  months^ 
to  Vetriolo;  this  Rpa ,  which  one 
will  then  be  able  lo  reach  in  about 
hrs,,  is  delightful,  cool  and 
Lsant. 

"he  recent  rise  in  the  importance 
Levico^  whose  name  is  better 
wn  than  thai  of  many  other 
'uSf    rests    chiefly    upun    [ts    two 

3  springs,    which,    differing  some- 

4  in  their  composition,   rise    from 

439 


Mont  Fronte,  On  the  mountain  is 
situated  the  spa  of  Velriolo  already 
mtnlioned:  together  with  Levico  it 
forms  a  cirmatic  health-resort  and 
spa  having  a  completeness  al  once 
unrivalled  and  unique. 

The  t'.vo  sprint^s  of  Levico  were 
known  before  the  If^th  century.  The 
waters  of  one  ol  them  formerly  served 
as  a  source  for  iron-sulphate:  for  a 
time  it  then  remained  unused;  and 
it  w*as  noi  until  nearly  the  end  of  the 
1  8th  cent.,  that  it  was  turned  to  account 
for  bathing  purposes.  The  other 
sprini^,  which  was  at  first  employed 
only  lis  a  medicinal  beverage,  also 
rose  rapidly  into  ce'ebrity.  After  much 
opposition  and  many  difhcullies  had 
been  overcome^  the  sprinu,s  (iiiatly 
passed  into  ttie  possession  of  the 
town  of  Levico*  In  the  year  18x^7, 
the  Austrian  Home  Oflice  declared  the 
springs  to  possess  rare  therapeutic 
qualities.  This  led  lo  the  erection  of 
a  large  Kitr-Haus  fitted  with  bfllhi:s2 


appliances.  The  great  success  which 
followed  induced  the  authorities  to 
construct  a  still  larger  bathing  esta- 
blishment. Besides  this  concern  there 
exist,  in  Levico,  several  well-appointed 
Hotels  &  Villas,  in  which  private  lodg- 
ings may  be  had  at  moderate  prices. 
Similar  accommodation  will  be  found 
in  the  neighbouring  spa  of  Vetriolo, 
which,  as  the  source  of  the  waters, 
is  naturally  as  well  adapted  as  Levico 
itself  to  become  a  spa  of  great  impor- 
tance, the  sole  difference  between  the 
two  places  being  that  Vetriolo  offers, 
during  the  summer  months,  cooler 
residence  than  its  sister  spa. 

The  neighbourhood  of  the  spas 
affords  some  of  the  most  delightful 
excursions  imaginable.  Among  the 
mountains  and  albng  the  banks  of 
the  streams,  one  wanders  in  a  balmy 
and  refreshing  atmosphere  that  brings 
health  and  invigoration  to  the  weak 
and  suffering. 

Consequently,  if  Levico  has  hitherto 
not  attained  that  success  to  which  it 
is  entitled  by  reason  of  its  splendid 
situation  and  health-giving  springs,  this 
is  because  there  has  been  a  certain 
want  of  comfort  and  elegance.  At  the 
present  day,  the  demands  made  by 
all  visitors,  and  especially  by  those 
from  large  cities,  is  a  very  severe  one. 
A  health-resort  which  does  not  offer 
everything  in  the  way  of  first- class 
modern  appointments  cannot  expect  to 
compete  with  other  spas.  And  though, 
truly,  the  means  of  accommodation  in 
Levico  could  not  be  characterised  as 
bad,  it  has,  heretofore,  not  offered 
that  high  standard  of  luxury  to  which 
the  wealthy  are  accustomed. 

All  this  has  now  been  changed. 
In  the  year  1900,  a  German  Company 
acquired  from  the  authorities  a  long 
lease  of  the  springs,  and," at  great  ex- 
pense and  pains,  introduced  modern 
and  first -class  arrangements,  the 
buildings  and  appliances  having  been 
designed  by  physicians,  engineers, 
artists  and  architects.  In  the  recently 
erected  Pavilion  are  to  be  found  every 


species  of  modern  appliance  for  the 
treatment  of  patients,  e.  g.  elegant  ca- 
binets for  ferro-arsenic  baths,  Swedish 
gymnasium,  hydropathic  institute,  all 
kinds  of  electric  baths,  cosmetic 
apparatus  &c.;  but  not  these  alone, 
for  the  Pavilion  contains  also  a  first- 
class  hotel  with  magnificent  apart- 
ments, excellent  cuisine  &c. 

In  the  extensive  park,  there  are 
splendid  grounds  for  the  exercise  of 
outdoor  games. 

Finally,  arrangements  have  been 
completed  for  supplying  means  of  re- 
creation and  entertainment  to  guests; 
and,  to  this  end,  various  forms  of 
amusement  —  adapted  to  give  the  fullest 
satisfaction  —  have  been  introduced. 
Indeed,  the  administration  works  un- 
ceasingly, and  spares  neither  expense 
nor  trouble  in  the  endeavour  to  carry 
out  its  work  of  reform  in  the  most 
magnificent  style;  so  that  persons 
revisiting  Levico  will  find  the  place 
completely  remodelled,  and  one  may 
well  anticipate  that  the  spa  will, 
within  a  very  short  period,  experience 
an  enormous  increase  in  the  number 
of  its  guests.

SANATOBIUK:  Dr.  Tea  Hartungen's 

Sanatorinm  is  a  winter  station  for  per- 
sons suffering  from  neryoua  affections 
or  disturbances  in  metabolism.  Climatic 
treatment,  innurement  and  hydropathy 
in  all  its  branohee.  Tubercular  diseases 
excluded.    Prospectus  free. 

RIVA  lies  in  one  of  the  loveliest 
spots  imaginable,  at  the  extreme 
northern  point  of  Garda  Lake,  spanned 
by  a  sky  of  almost  permanent  azure, 
and  washed  by  the  waters  of  perhaps 
the    most  beautiful   lake   in  Europe. 

Though  the  town  itself  possesses  no 
great  interest,  its  sanitary  conditions  are 
all  that  could  be  desired,  —  the  waters 
supply  being  exemplary.  The  place 
contains  also  a  round-tower,  the  relic 
of  an  old  castle;  and,  on  the  shore 
stands  laRocca,  now  used  as  barracks. 

The  climate  is  of  a  wonderful 
character,  resembling  in  some  respects 
that  of  Cairo,  though  the  heat  is 
tempered  by  the  breeze  that  blows 
from  the  lake. 

Behind  the  town  rise  magnificent 
mountain  -  masses;  while,  a  short 
distance  southwards,  the  Ponale  falls 
into  the  lake,  and  may  be  visited  by 
boat  for  the  sake  of  its  celebrated 
waterfalls.  The  stream  flows  through  a 
deep  and  narrow  ravine,  near  whose 
mouth,  the  Palls,  interesting  for  their 
surroundings,  will  be  found.  Other 
fine  excursions  are  to  Ledro  Schlucht 
(gorge),  to  Ledro  Lake,  and  to  the 
charming  lemon  groves  on  the  banks 
of  the  Torbole.  From  Riva,  a  line  of 
boats  traverses  Garda  Lake,  calling 
at  Malcesina,  Fasano,  Gardone-Riviera 
(see  Italy)  and  at  Desenzano,  the  last 
being  the  main  station  for  the  Lake.

Austrian  territory,  and  beyond  this  again, 
the  Eastern  Alps,  with  the  Dolomites 
and  other  groups.  The  Western  Alps  lie 
partially  in  latly,  partially  in  France, 
the  boundary  line  between  the  latter 
country  and  Switaerland  running  across 
Mont  Blanc,  and  that  between  Switzer- 
land and  Italy,  across  Monte  Bosa. 
Between  the  Middle  Alps  and  the  -Jura 
lies  the  so-called  "High-Plateau**.  Even, 
however,  in  its  flattest  parts,  that  is  be- 
tween Fribourg,  Sulothurn  and  Lucerne, 
the  plateau  is  still  of  a  very  hilly  nature, 
and  rises  higher  and  higher  across  the 
Bernese  Alps  (with  the  Jangfian  and 
Aletsohhorn)  to  meet  the  Pennine  and 
Lepontine  grotipa 

These  various  districts  form  various 
watersheds,  the  most  important  of  which 
is  the  St.  Gothard,  in  whose  glaciers 
the  Bhine,  the  Bhone  and  the  Ticino 
have  their  origin  The  source  of  the 
first  is  claimed  by  two  streams,  namely, 
the  Hither  and  the  Further  Bbine,  which 
flow  down  to  form  the  La  We  of  Constance, 
while  several  others,  s<ioh  as  the  Aar, 
Beuss  and  the  Linth  spread  out  into 
lakes  oi  Thonne,  Lucerne,  Zng  and 


Zurich,whence  they  continue  their  c 
to  join  the  Bhine  between  Sohaffhausen 
and  Bale,  the  Aar  being  first  swelled 
by  the  waters  of  the  Lake  of  NeuohAtel. 

The  Bhone  stream  opens  out  into 
the  Lake  of  Geneva,  which,  55  miles  in 
If'ngth,  is  the  largest  in  the  country. 
The  other  famous  lakes,  such  as  those 
of  Maggiore,  Lugano  and  Oomo,  lie,  for 
the  most  part,  in  Italy. 

The  above  streams  do  not  exhaust 
the  number  of  those  giant  arteries 
which  have  their  origin  in  Switaerland: 
the  source  of  the  Inn  lies  at  the  head 
of  the  Upper  Engadine;  and  its  waters 
expand  to  an  important  stream  before 
they  reach  the  mighty  Danube. 

HI8T0BT.  Politioallv,  the  oonntry  has 
had  a  very  checkered  history.  It  was 
first  inhabited  by  so-called  Keltic  clans, 
of  which  the  most  impoi-tant  were  the 
Bomsnised  Helvetians  and  Bhsstians.  In 
the  oth  cent ,  the  country  was  partially 
overrun  by  the  AUemanni  and  other 
German  tribes.  During  the  middle-ages 
its  various  districts  came  under  various 
dukea,  such  as  the  Zahringers,  Berohtold 
of  Fribourg,  Burchtold  of  Berne  and, 
finally,  the  Hapsburgers.  It  then,  tor  a 
time,  formed  part  ot  the  German  Empire, 
and  afterwards  passed  to  the  dominion 
of  Austria.  As  will  be  remembered,  it 
was  during  this  last  period  that  the  great 
religious  and  political  struggle  took  place 
in  which  the  half  -  mythical  William 
Tell  played  so  great  a  part.  The  result 
was  the  inception  of  the  present  com- 
monwealth. True,  as  members  of  the 
Old  German  Empire,  many  of  the 
Cantons  were,  previously,  of  a  repu- 
blican character;  but  it  was  the  neces- 
sity for  co-operation  for''ed  upon  the 
protestant  Swiss  by  Austrian  bureau- 
cracy which  led  to  that  federation 
whose  final  form  became  established 
atter  the  vicissitudes  of  the  French 
revolution  and  the  Napoleonic  wars. 
Srill  fuither  defined  atter  the  distur- 
bances of  18B0,  it  was  moulded  into  its 
pr  sent  shape,  subsequent  to  the  almost 
Eur  pean  revolution  of  1K48.

in  nowise  remarkable  that  the  languages 
■pokon  should  be  of  a  very  varied  cha- 
racter. West  of  a  line  mnning  longi- 
tndinally  past  Delemont,  Biel,  Fribourg, 
Saanen  and  Siders,  the  tongne  employed 
is  French :  in  the  whole  district  S.  of  Airolo 
a  'd  in  two  small  tracts  round  Biva  and 
Tirano,  Italian  is  spoken:  from  Airolo 
along  the  Hither  Bhine,  as  well  as  from 
Spltigen  throughout  the  Engadine,  the 
speech  is  Bheeto-Bomanic  (Roumansch) : 
the  remainder  of  the  country,  perhaps 
one  half  of  the  whole,  is  German  both 
in  speech  and  in  race. 

WEieHTS  AND  MEASUBES.  Tlie 
decimal  system,  with  the  metre  as  the 
Standard  of  length  &c,  is  in  use.  (Cf. 
Introduction  to  Germany). 

MONET.  Switzerland  being  a  member 
of  the  French  Union,  the  standard  is 
the  franc  =  100  centimes  (Happen)  =  20 
cents  (U.  S.  A.) 

POSTAL  CHARGES.  Inland  letters 
250  grams,  10  centimes.  Foreign  letters, 
15  grams,  25  centimes.  Letters  to  and 
from  Germany,  20  grams.  25  centimes. 

TE  LEG  BAMS.  Inland:  SO  centimes 
and  2Vs  centimes  per  word.  Foreign: 
ar>oording  to  distance,  thus:  through- 
out  central  and  western  Europe,  60  cen- 
times and  7  to  *29  centime?  per  word ; 
to  New  York,  fr.  150  per  word;  Chicago, 
fr.  1.80  per  word;  San  Francisco,  irs. 
2.16  per  word. 

TBAVELLING*  Switzerland  possesses 
an  excellent  network  of  railways,  in  the 
production  of  which  some  wonderful  en- 
gineering feats  have  been  acconiplished, 
such  as  the  cutting  of  the  St.  Gothard 
and  the  Simplon  Tunnels,  the  building 
of  the  BhsBtian  Railroad  and  the  con- 
struction of  the  Bigi  Mountain  Railways. 
But  there  still  remain  considerable  tracts 
which  are  accessible  only  by  means 
of  horse  -  coaches,  diligences  and  auto- 
mobiles; while,  even  where  the  iron- 
horse  has  now  found  its  way,  many 
prefer  to  travel  by  the  old-fashioned 
diligence,  —  as.  for  instance,  from 
Landeck  to  the  Engadine. 

Coaching,  however,  is  somewhat  ex- 
pensive ;  and,  where  several  persons  are 
ti  a  veiling  together,  it  is  often  prefer- 
able to  hire  a  voiture  (It.  vettura).  For 
two  persons  a  one-horsed  vehicle  costing 
15  to  20  frs.  per  day  suffices.    For  8—5 

Sersons  a  two -horsed  voiture  at  25  to 
)  frs.  a-day  must  be  hired.  1  he  gratuity 
expected  by  the  driver  is  1  fr.  per  horse 
Besides  the  voiture,  extra  post-carriages 
may  be  had  at  the  post  offices  by 
ordering  a  few  hours  beforehand:  the 
tariff  is  somewhat  higher  than  that  for 
a  voiture,  but  the  vehicles  travel  faster. 
Moreover,  horses  and  mules  are  some- 
times serviceable  and  cost  from  10  to 
12  frs.  per  day,  single  journey,  and  half 
as  much  again  for  return  journey;  tip 
to  muleteer  about  1.60  fr.   Finally,  there 


is  an  excellent  service  of  steamboats  on 
the  liakes,  those  on  Lakes  Constance, 
Lucerne,  Geneva,  Thoune  and  Brienz 
being  exceedingly  useful. 

People  visiting  mountain  heights  for 
the  first  time  should  remember  that  the 
change  in  temperature  as  one  ascends 
is  very  great,  and  that  it  is,  therefore, 
highly  essential  to  have  a  suffioienov 
of  warm  wraps  with  one,  even  though 
this  may  appear,  at  the  outset,  a  some- 
what disagreeable  burden. 

Another  point  which  is  tftill  less 
known  is  the  quick  -  raise*  sickness 
which  almo.-t  every  person  suffers  from 
to  some  degree  who  is  raised  arlifioially 
and  suddenly  to  higher  atmospheric 
regions.  It  is  for  this  reason  that  the 
mountain  railways  of  Switzerland  which 
run  to  anv  very  considerable  height 
(such  as  the  Jungf^au  Railway)  have 
frequent  stoppinfr-places  on  the  road 
where  passensers  may  become  ac- 
customed to  the  rarified  air  and,  if 
necessary,  take  exercise,  so  as  to  tho- 
roughly inflate  the  lungs  and  adapt  the 
circulation  to  the  altered  environment. 

BOUTES :  The  usual  route  to  S.witzer- 
land  adopted  in  Guide  Books  is  via 
Bale  for  those  coming  froui  the  Rhine 
or  via  Paris  to  Geneva  for  those  coming 
from  England;  but,  for  Americans  doing 
the  whole  of  central  Europe,  it  is  con- 
venient to  work  the  beautiful  districts 
of  the  Bavarian  Alps  or  of  the  Tyrol 
in  conjunction  with  the  grand  Dolomite 
Mountains  and  the  Eastern  Alps.  In 
the  present  work,  the  railway  route 
via  Innsbrnck,  Landeck  and  Feldkirch 
to  Bagaz,  Coire,  Thusis  and  St.  Moritz 
has  been  adopted.  Many,  however, 
will  prefer  the  fine  coach  journey 
from  Landeck  to  Sfis  and  up  the  valley, 
thus  reserving  the  route.

its  gardens  and  baths.  There  are 
•four  bathing  establishments  possessing 
nmety  different  baths  and  named, 
respectively,  Muhlebad,  Hclenahad 
and  Neubad  (attached  to  Hotel  Ragaz 
and  Hotel  Quellenhof)  on  the  right 
bank  of  the  Tamina,  and  Dorfbad 
on  the  left  bank  of  the  Tamina  in 
Dorf  Ragaz.  Moreover,  in  the  centre 
of  the  *Kur'  park,  there  is  a  fine 
swimming-bath,  which  measures  7^  ft. 
in  length  by  30  ft.  in  width,  and  has 
a  constant  stream  of  water  flowing 
through  it  Furthermore,  there  is  a 
medico-mechanical  Zander-Institute  for 
Swedish  Gymnastics,  which,  the  first 
of  its  kind  in  Switzerland,  possesses 
over  70  various  apparatuses  and  the 
most  modem  appliances  for  electro- 
therapy. The  establishment  is  situated 


in  the  middle  of  the  'Kur'  gardens  and 
is  superintended  by  Dr.  P.  Bally. 

Physiciane  in  the  villai^e:—  Dr.  Jager,

In  addition  to  the  above,  there  is  an 
establishment  for  hydrotherapy,  in  which 
all  the  latest  methods  are  practised; 
while,  as  adjuncts  to  the  waters,  cow*s 
milk  and  goat's  milk,  kefir,  grapes  and 
strawberries  are  extensively  used. 

Bagaa  is  an  admirable  centre  for 
excarsions  and  for  mountain- climbing. 
A  map  shewing  paths  and  distances 
may  be  obtainea  at  the  Inqoiry  Office

A  great  attraction  is  the  artificial 
lake  called  Oiessen  which  has  an  area 
of  about  60^)00  metres,  and  affords  oppc 
unity  for  rowing  and  fishing.  Tlye  1

from  its  confluence  with  the  Rhine.  The 
broad-browed  Calanda,  the  glorious 
Montalin,  and  the  wooded  peak  of  Piz 
•  Okel  enclpse  it  on  three  sides.  Despite 
its  elevation,  its  climate  is  exceptionally 
mild.  Indeed,  its  position  is  so  sheltered 
that  e  v^  the  chestnut  and  the  fig  flourish 
in  its  gardens,  and  the  grape  ripens 
on  the  sunny  slopes  of  the  surrounding 
hills,  the  sight  presented  to  the  view, 
when  the  fruit  trees  are  in  full  blossom 
being  exceedingly  beautiful. 

The  town  itself  is  very  old,  having 
been  founded  by  the  Romans,  who  gave 
to  it  the  name  of  Curia  Rhceiia  Prima. 
According  to  tradition,  St.  Lucius  es- 
tablished a  bishopric  in  the  town  as 
early  as  the  2nd  cent ;  while  the  records, 
which  date  back  to  the  5^  cent,  show 
a  list  of  ninety-two  bishops.  In  the  1 5th 
cent,  it  freed  itself  from  the  dominion 
of  the  bishops.  At  the  'present  day 
it  is  the  capital  of  the  Canton  of 
Grisons,  with  a  bustling  political  and 
industrial  life.  Its  most  important 
buildings  are: — 

The  Cathedral  dates  back,  in  some 
of  its  parts,  to  the  8th  cent.,  but 
is,  in  the  main,  Romanesque  in  style. 
Rich  in  monuments,  reliquaries  and 
paintings  by  such  artists  as  Kranach, 
Diirer  and  Holbein,  the  building,  with 
its  fantastic  twelfth-century  carving,  is 
of  considerable  artistic  interest.  Close 
by  rises  the  old  Episcopal  Palace, 
called 

The  Hof,  which,  one  of  the  earliest 
structures  of  the  Christian  era,  is 
attached  to  the  old  Roman  tower 
called  Marsol,  and  possesses  an 
exceedingly  ancient  chapel:  at  the 
entrance  to  the  court-yard  stands  a 
second  Roman  tower,  named  Spindl,

Higher  up  the  acclivity,  there  are 
two  other  interestmg  buildings,  the 
one  a  Cantonal  School,  and  the  other 
an  Episcopal  College  bearmg  the 
name  ol  St  Lucius. 

Other  objects  of  interest  are:—  St. 
Martin's  Church;* the  Rhetian  Museum 
containing  a  library,  Holbein's  Dance 
of  Death  (see  Bale)  &c.;  the  Rat- 
haus  with  mediaeval  stained-glass;  and 
Kissling's  statue  of  Benedikt  Fontana, 
representing  the  hero  wounded  but 
inciting  the  confederates  to  continue 
the  struggle. 

EXCURSIONS;  From  the  deswriptioik

THE  RHiETIAN  RAILWAY. 

(See  page  448/449.) 
Coire   or  Chur,  the  capital  of  the 
Canton  of  Graubiinden  (Grisons)  was, 
for   many   decades,    the  terminus  of 
the   railway.     From   this    point .  the 
mail-coach  driver  had  it  all  his  own 
way  throughout  Rhctia,   the  moun- 
tain    canton    par     excellence     By 
'means    of    a    far-reaching    network 
of  roads,    boldly   built  or  out,    and 
costing  20,000,000  francs,  the  greater 
part  of  the  traffic  was  drawn  towards 
Italy.      Then    came,    in    1882,    the 
St.  Gothard-Railway  and  again  trans- 
ferred almost  the  entire  traffic.     All 
efforts   to   construct   another   similar 
railway  fell  through,  owing  to  finan- 
cial   difficulties.     Without,    however, 
giving  up  the  idea  of  siich  a  railway, 
farsighted     men    managed    to    con- 
vince the  inhabitants  of  the  possibility 
of   winning   back   to  the  canton  its 
share  of  the  commerce  by  building 
a  narrow-gauge  railway  wbicn  should 
be    capable    of   dealing    suocessfully 
with    the    expected    traffic.     Conse- 
quently,  the  following   lines  of  rail 
were   opened,    namely:    in    1889/90 
the    Landquart-Davos   Line,    with    a 
length    of   60  km.  and  a   gauge   of 
one  metre,  and,  in  1896,  the  Land 
quart-Chur-Thusis  Line  with  a  length 
of  42  km.     Furthermore,    in    1898, 
,  funds   to  the  amount  of  26,000,000 
francs  were  formed  for  the  construo- 
1  tion     of    the    Reichenau- Dane -Line 
(20    km.)    and     the    Thusis-Albula- 
St  Morit2  Line   (63  km.);   and   the 
building  of  the  Albula-Tunnet  (5,866 
metres  in  length)  was  begun.     The 
former  of  these  last  two  lines  was 
i  opened    on    the    I't  June    1903;    a 
I  month  later  the  latter  was  completed 
as  far  as  Celerina;  and,  in  the  Summer 
;  of  the  year  1904,  the  last  3  km.  to 
St    'oritz  was  opened, 

E      means    of  this    narrow-gauge 
Rhi      n    Railway,    health-resorts    of 


such  universal  celebrity  as  Davos 
(5129—5261  feet  above  8ea*level) 
and  the  Engadine  (5589—6102  feet 
above  sea-level),  as  well  as  the 
other  numerous  and  much-frequented 
places  of  Grisons,  have  been  brought 
into  essentially  closer  touch  with 
the  traffic  of  the  world.  Among  these 
we  may  mention  Seewis,  Fideris, 
Serneus,  Klosters  &c.  in  Pratigau; 
Films,  Vals,  Peiden,  Disentis  Ac. 
in  Oberland;  Rothenbrunnen,  Thusis, 
Andeen  Spliigen,  in  the  valley  of 
the  Further  Rhine;  Savognin,  Miihlen, 
Alveneu,  Bergiin,  in  Albula  Valley 
and  Oberhalbstein. 

The  importance  of  the  railway, 
especially  in  connection  with  the 
traffic  of  the  more  outlying  districts 
of  Grisons,  will  be  best  seen  by 
comparing  the  time  occupied  by  the 
mail-coach  and  by  the  train.

the  Rh«tian  Railway  are  distinguished 
by  the  grandeur,  the  beauty  and 
the  great  variety  of  the  districts 
through  which  they  pass.  They 
possess  a  special  interest  on  account 
of  their  being  the  highest  railways 
in  Europe  which  are  worked  during 
the  winter:  in  Landquart-Davos,  the 
height  above  the  sea-level  is  5,860 
feet;  while  the  Albula  Line  rises 
to  the  great  elevation  of  5,972  ft. 
above  the  sea-level  {  so  that  in  winter 
special  appliances  are  required  in 
connection  with  the  structure  and 
its  working.

numerous  handsome  hotels,  perched  on 
the  mountain  side  at  various  levels: 
.around  these  have  sprung-up  several 
shops,  a  drug  store,  post-office  &c.; 
while  there  are  now  6  physicians 
practising  in  the  place. 

Arosa,  on  the  side  of  a  valley  running 
parallel  with  Davos  and  the  Engadine, 
possesses  a  delightful,  bracing  climate 
of  an  Alpine  character,  whose  ad- 
vantages have  been  well  known  for 
many  years.  The  atmosphere  is  per- 
fectly pure  and  free  from  dust:  it 
stimulates  the  appetite,  aids  digestion, 
and  accelerates  the  circulation  of  the 
blood.    The  temperature  is  unusually 


equable,  the  registered  amount  of 
bright  sunshine  exceedingly  favourable, 
and  the  relative  humidity  very  low, 
—  three  admirable  characteristics  which 
render  Arosa  a  summer  and  winter 
resort  of  the  first-class. 

The  village  is  lighted  with  electricity : 
it  has  a  high  -  pressure  water-supply, 
an  excel lexit  system  of  drainage,  and 
postal  service  to  Coire. 

In  the  neighbourhood,  there  are  two 
beantiful  lakes  which  afford  good  boating 
and  trout-fishing  in  summer;  while  in 
winter  there  ia  ample  opportunity  for 
skating,  onrling,  skiing  and  tobogganing. 

Arosa  is  connected  by  mountain -passes 
with  Churwalden,  Parpan,  Alveneu.

THUSIS  is  a  most  delightful  vil- 
lage, situated  at  the  junction  of  the 
Spliigen  and  Schyn  roads,  which 
lead  respectively  to  the  Julier  and 
Albula  passes.  Founded  probably 
in  prehistoric  times,  it  early  became 
known  to  the  Romans ;  and  hither 
RhsBtus  18  said  to  have  fled. 


The  position  of  the  place  was  so 
important  previous  to  the  opening 
of  the  St.  Gothard  Railway  that  no 
fewer  than  30,(XX)  travellers  annually 
passed  thro^igh  it  by  coach  in  the 
good  old  days.  Even  still,  the  traffic 
bears  the  poetic  character  of  the 
past;  and  the  situation  of  the  town 
is  highly  romantic. 

The  rocks  and  mountains,  in  the 
clefts  of  which  it  nestles,  tower 
above  it  some  thousands  of  feet. 
On  the  one  side  of  the  village  rises 
a' precipitous  cliff;  while  through  it 
rush  the  wild  and  black  waters  of 
the  Nolla,  which,  leaving  the  village 
through  awe-inspiring  ravines  and 
gullies,  joins  the  Rhine  below. 

In  one  direction,  the  eye  rests  upon 
the  picturesque  Domleschg  with  its  ^ 
villages  and  castle -ruins:  at  another 
spot,  we  perceive  the  highly  romantic  ' 
entrance  to  the  Viamala,  the  bridge, 
the  ruin  crowned  crags  of  the  Hohen 
Rhaetia  and  the  wooded  brow  of  the 
Crapteig.  Across  the  Rhine  lies  Sils, 
between  whose  cliffs  stands  out  the 
Albula.  To  the  right  of  the  village 
the  scenery  is  softer;  the  Heizenberg 
rises  aloft  in  long  delicate  lines,  covered 
with  luxurious  vegetation  and  dotted, 
here  and  there,  with  pretty  Alpine 
hamlets.  Between  this  hill  and  Crap- 
teig and  beyond  the  weird  ravifte, 
a  wonderful  peak,  called  PizBeverin, 
towers  boldly  skywards  forming  iit 
once  the  weather  -  gauge  of  tne 
village  and  its  highest  omameni;;

A  quarter   of  an   hour   further,   thr

SPIiVEGEK  (HOTELS  t  Bedamkftu;

one,  as  the  road  divides  here  into 
two,  the  one  following  the  banks  of 
the  Rhine  across  the  Bernardino  Pass, 
with  its  magnificent  view  of  the 
Rheinwaid  Glacier,  to  Bellinzona; 
the  other  turning  sharply  to  the 
left  through  the .  Spliigen  Pass  to 
Qiiavenna  (Italy). 

Another  fine  road,  built  in  1869, 
runs  from  Thusis  across  the  moun- 
tains to  the  Engadme  Valley;  it  is 
called  the  SchyuPass  and,  commencing 
at  Nolla  Bridge,  runs  round  the  foot

SAMADEN    lies    near    the    lowest

The  prospects  which  one  enjoys 
from  here  are  very  fine,  especially 
that  obtained  from  the  side  of 
the  village  facing  towards  Bevers. 
Dazzling  glaciers  lie  piled  in  wild 
confusion  before  the  beholder,  the 
most  striking  points  being  the  magni- 
ficent Bernina  Group,  Palu  Peak, 
Piz  Rosej^  and  Piz  Rosatsch, 

SXGUBSIONS:  From  the  English 
Ohnroh  past  Mnnteriitsoh  and  Bevers 
Valley  to  Alp  8plaa;  across  the  Iron 
Bridge  that  spans  the  StutSt  to  Latta 
seetaa  and  Alpiaa;  through  Berers 
Yalley;  to  Maottas  Miirall;  to  Pis  01 
(10,665  ft.),  an  easyfoor  hours  climb  by 
a  well-out  foot-path. 

It  may  also  be  noted  here  that 
the  Samaden  Golf-links  are  the  largest 
in  Switzerland. 

A  short  distance  up  the  Inn  lie 
the  sister  tillages  of 

CEIiERINA  (Rot.-Peiis.  Harail)  and 
CBESTA  (Hot-Peas.  Missal.  — See  also 
below)  between  which  there  is  a 
station  of  the  Rhsetian  Railway.  The 
elder  of  the  resorts,  Crest  a,  is  within 
easy  reach  of  St.  Moritz  (Vj  hour); 
while  Celerina  lies  at  the  junction  of 
the  Bernina  Road  (see  Pontresina, 
below,  and  route  59). 

The  situation  of  Celerina-Cresta  is 
thus  exceptionally  favoured,  and  the 
place  is  consequently  one  which  is 
rapidly  coming  into  vogue.  It  con- 
tains a  number  of  modem  villas  and 
has  post,  telegraph  and  telephone 
offices.  Moreover  it  has,  in  summer, 
regular  omnibus  service  to  St.  Moritz 
and  Pontresina,  is  supplied  with  pure 
spring  water  from  the  mountains,  and 
lighted  throughout  by  electricity. 

This  year  a  funicular  railway  up 
the  Muottas-Murail  is  to  be  opened; 
and,  besides  the  numerous  delightful 
excursions  in  the  neighbourhood,  there 
is  ample  opportunity  for  sports  of  ail 
kinds,  especially  golf  ft  tobogganing. 

The  principal  hotel  of  the  place 
is  the  new  Crcsta  Palace  in  fine 
open  situation  between  the  two 
villages.  It  is  a  palatial  structure, 
recently  erected,  and  replete  with 
every  modem  comfort

of  St.  Mo'itz;  while,  from  the  point 
where  we  are  standing,  the  eye 
traverses  a  long  ridge  of  mountains, 
called  Piz  Rosatsch,  lying  over 
against  the  smaller  glacier.  Beyond 
it  opens  the  valley  from  whijh  rises 
Piz  Bernitfa,  standing  like  a  king 
among  the  glaciers  and  surrounded 
by  satellites  almost  as  mighty  as 
himself.  Beneath  the  smaller  glacier, 
stands  out,  from  the  enormous 
mountain  mass,  a  little  peak,  called 
Piz  Dell'  Ova  Cotschna,  from  whose 
womb  of  red  granite  spring  the 
waters  that  have  made  SL  Moritz 
Bad  (see  below)  so  renowned.  The 
peak  which  ends  the  range ,  or 
rather  which   appears    to    do  so,   is 


Piz  SurJeJt  separated  from  the 
glittering  Piz  Corvatsch  by  the  beau- 
t'ful  Pass  of  Fuorcla  SurleJ.  To  the 
S.W.  rises  the  sharp  outline  of  Piz 
della  Margna,  its  base  washed  by 
Lake  Maloja,  the  largest  and  love> 
liest  of  the  district.  Among  the  many 
mountain  peaks  beyond,  one  sees 
the  precipitous  flank  of  Badill ; 
while  behind  us  in  the  W.,  rises 
the  beautJiul  form  of  Piz  Julier, 
with  its  low-lying  glaciers,  and,  seen 
from  St.  Moritz,  appearing  as  an 
isolated  group.  A  valley  separates 
it  from  Ptz  Nair,  on  one  of  whose 
lower  slopes  the  village  lies;  while 
at  its  foot  rise  the  beautiful  buildings 
of  the  spa  of  St.  Moritz-les- Bains.

ST.  MORITZ-LES-BAINS  (Moritz- 
Bad)  is  one  of  the  most  celebrated 
spas  in  Europe.  Situated  in  the 
Upper  Engadine  and  on  the  shores 
of  the  lake  to  which  it  gives 
its  name,  it  possesses  all  the 
characteristics  of  an  Alpine  health- 
resort.  The  climate  is  one  of  the 
finest  known,  and  is  remarkable 
for  its  dryness  and  the  great 
number  of  its  sunny  days.  Owing 
to  the  rarity  of  the  mountain  air, 
the  atmospheric  pressure  is  low; 
while  the  temperature  is  excep- 
tidnally  high  and  the  climate  mild. 
All  these  peculiarities  render  the 
atmosphere  very  stimulating.  As 
a    well-known    physician    puts    it: — 


**The    appetite   is  increased,    tone  is 
given   to    the    nutritive    system,    the    ; 
circulation    becomes   fuller  and  more    | 
regular,    and    the     nerves    are    thus   j 
strengthened**.     It  is  for  this  reason    I 
that   so    many    convalescents,    after    | 
visiting  Carlsbad,  Marienbad,  Tarasp 
and  similar  spas,  come  to  St.  Moritz    \ 
to     complete    the     cure.     Moreover, 
on     account     of    its    elevation    and 
arid  atmosphere  many  visitors  come 
to    St.    Moritz    in    June,    to    escape    j 
the    hay -fever    of   the    more       w-    ! 
lying  districts.     The  spot  is,  fur    sr- 
more,  a  very  healthy  one  for  chili    sn,    j 
for    whom    its    situation ,     on      he    ! 
borders  of  a  beautiful  lake  with     ne 
promenades,   still    further   adapt     it. 
The   springs    were    known   in    he 
middle -ages.     In  those  8uperst<     us 


462 


:     days,  it  was  a  place  of  pilgrimage; 
and,   in   1519,    Pope    Leo  X.    issued 
a  bull    extending    absolution    to    the 
pilgrims  visiting  St.  Mauritius.  Doubt- 
less,  the   wonderful    curative    effects 
of  the    waters    were   regarded    then 
I  -  as    miraculous.     At   that   time,    only 
j     the  old  spring  was  known.   In  1815, 
i     another   was    discovered    some    200 
paces    distant.      It    was    not,    how- 
ever,   till    the    year    1852, ,  that    the 
new  spring,  which  now  serves  prin- 
;     cipally   for   drinking   purposes,    was 
brought   into    requisition.     The   total 
!     number  of  springs  at  present  in  use 
;     is  four,   namely: —  the   Old  Spring, 
\     Paracelsus   Spring,    the   Funtauna 
\     Surpunt  and  the  Stahlhad.   The  first 
1     and     second      of    these     differ    but 
f     slightly   in    composition,    the   Para- 


celsus Spring  being,  however,  some- 
what stronger:  both  of  them  are 
chalybeate  and  charged  with  carbonic- 
acid  gas.  The  third  spring  is  the 
weakest  and  is  wanting  in  sodium 
carbonate.  The  last,  as  its  name 
implies,  is  tonic  in  effect. 

As  a  beverage,  the  waters  possess 
an  agreeable  flavour,  and  are  easily 
assimilated:  this  last  characferiptic 
is  of  great  importance,  as  the  iron 
passes  immediately  into  the  system 
without  attacking  the  intestine,  v  the 
result  being  an  increase  in  the 
appetite,  improvement  in  the  blood, 
and  a  strengthening  of  the  nervous 
system. 

As  baths,  the  exceptionally  large 
proportion  of  carbonic  -  acid  places 
them    among   the   strongest   of  their

kind.  They  are  highly  stimulating 
to  the  nervous  system;  and,  indeed, 
act  similarly  to  the  waters  taken 
internally.  It  will  be  gathered  from 
these  remarks  that  the  principal 
complaints  treated  are  those  of  the 
nerves  and  of  the  nutritive  and 
circulatory  systems,  including  fluor 
albus,  sterility  and  the  other  con- 
sequences of  anaemia.  But  great 
success  has  also  been  obtained  in 
dealing  with  dilatation  and  fatty 
d(  ".neration  of  the  heart,  asthma, 
gi  :,  rheumatism,  diabetes  &c.

[     qi     ited  as  a  place  of  cure  only  during 
!     tt     summer  months  (June-September), 
\    it     as  also,  in  recent  years,  become 
a     ivourite   and    fashionable  Winter 
re     rt.     The  reason    for  this  is   that 
tk     i«ke,  which    in    summer    affords 


pleasant  boating  and  excellent  trout- 
fishing,  is  covered,  in  Winter,  with 
a  magnificent  sheet  of  ice.  Con- 
sequently numerous  skating  and 
curling  tournaments  take  place  here 
which  are  of  quite  an  international 
character.  Moreover,  the  surround- 
ing slopes  and  heights  afford  fine 
opportunities  for  tobogganing  and 
snow -shoeing. 

^EXCURSIONS:  The  walks  in  the 
immediate  neighbourhood  of  the  spa 
are  of  an  exceedingly  beautiful  charac- 
ter, and  are  bordered,  in  all  directions, 
by  forests  of  larch  and  fir.  The  best 
known  trips  are  to  QiitllenhUgel 
(1^/3  hours),  whence  a  fine  prospect 
of  lake  and  village  is  obtained;  to 
Johannisherg  (8/4  hour),  with  pano- 
ramic view  as  far  as  Maloja,  and

PONTRESINA  is  a  clean  prosper-

climate  has  the  general  characteristics 
of  a  lofty  Alpine  valley.  Here  the 
sultriness  of  the  lowlands  is  un-

producing  appetite  and  stimulating 
tlie  vital  forces.  Indeed,  the  varia-

slight,  the  lowest  evening  tempera- 
ture in  July  being  62®  F.,  and  the

church:  a  little  further  on  stands  the 
English  Church,  occupying  an  ele-

together  at  the  foot  of  rugged 
heights,  by  which  it  is  protected 
from  the  winds  of  the  north  and 
east.  Owing  to  this  and  to  the 
proximity  of  the  lake,  its  climate 
is  remarkably  healthy,  mild,  and 
equable,  the  mean  temperature  of  the 
hottest  day  never  exceeding  17®  C, 
and  the  mercury  never  sinking  below 
12®  or  rismg  above  25®. 

Le  Prese  is  famous  for  its  sulphur 
baths. 

Kurhatts,  Hotel  and  Pension  Lc 
Prese,  This  building  is  fitted  up  in 
modern  style,  so  as  to  meet  the  latest 
demands  of  hydrotherapeutics,  and 
has  an  annex  containing  a  number 
of  baths  of  various  kinds.  The  hotel 
is  in  villa  style,  faces  the  lake,  and, 
besides  the  usual  accommodation, 
affords  opportunity  for  lawn-tennis, 
gymnastics,  gondoling,  fishing  and 
shooting  &c. 

The  waters,    taken  cold,    have  an 


exceedingly  beneficial  effect  on  the 
mucous  membrane,  and  are  therefore 
very  helpful  in  the  treatment  of  the 
digestive  and  respiratory  organs,  as 
well  as  in  hoarseness,  liver  complaint 
and  constipation. 

The  surrounding  country  offers 
ample  opportunity  for  mountain- 
climbing  and  excursions.  The  chief 
places  of  interest  are: —  Bernina 
Pass,  La  Rosa,  Tirano,  Stelvio  Pass, 
Trafoi. 

From  Le  Prese,  the  road  skirts  the 
south  -  west  shore  of  lake  Meschino, 
crosses  the  Poschiavino,  and  proceeds, 
via  Brusio  (Pop.  1,200)  and  througl 
nutwoods,  down  to  Campocologno,  i. 
few  minutes  beyond  which  it  crosses 
the  Italian  boundary;  and  we  reach 
the  custom-house  at  Piattamala. 

Another  2V4  km.  brings  as  to  Madonna 
di  TirHno,  where  the  road  branches,  the 
one  following  the  railway  line  down 
the  Adda,  the  other  guing  east  to  the 
town  of  Tlraoo  on  the  same  river.

The  resort  enjoys  an  exceptionally 
agreeable  dimate.  From  the  beginning 
of  June  till  Autumn  the  spot  is  oathed 
in  sunshine;  though  the  atmosphere 
is  rendered  bracing  by  the  altitude. 
Only  during  the  spring  thaw,  in  April 
and  May,  can  there  be  an^  question  of

Banane  Cantonale  del  Grisoni  has  an 
agency  here. 

This  resort,  as  its  name  implies, 
consists  of  three  separate  divisions, 
which,  lying  some  1*0  min.  distant 
from  each  other,  bear,  respectively, 
the  names  of:—  Kurhaus  Tarasp, 
with  salt-water  springs,  chalybeate 
springs  and  baths;  Schuls,  with  chaly- 
beate springs  and  baths,  and  Vulpera, 
on  the  right  bank  of  the  Inn. 

Treatment.  —  1.  Owing  to  the 
elevation  of  the  place,  the  climate  is 
of  an  Alpine  character,  but  is  distin- 
guished by  mildness  and  equability. 
While,  therefore,  bracing  and  in- 
vigorating, it  has  no  de'elerious  effects 
in  cases  of  severe  nervousness. 

2.  The  waters  fall  into  two  classes:— 
Strongly  alkaline  springs  (Lucius  and 
Emerita);  and  springs  partly  alkaline, 
partly  chalybeate  (Bonifacius,  Wy, 
Sot^ass).  The  former  of  these  con- 
tain from  one-and-a-half  times  to 
twice  as  much  mineral  salt  as  their 
most  famous  European  competitors. 
TreadwelKs  analysis  of  the  Lucius 
Spring  made  in  the  year  1900  gives 
the  following  percentages; —  Sodium 
Chloride  '388,  Sodium  Bicarbonate 
'431,  Sodium  Sulphate  224,  Carbonic 
Acid  -555. 

3.  Alkaline  and  chalybeate  baths  are 
administered  at  Kurhaus  Tarasp,  and 
the  latter  also  at  Schuls  The  bath 
houses  at  both  places  are  elegantly 
fitted  and  are  provided  with  the  most 
modern  apphances. 

4.  Alpine  climate. 

The  happy  combination  of  Glauber's 
sail  springs  and  chalybeate  springs  in 
an  Alpine  resort  permits  whole  fami 
whose  various  members  req 
different  treatment,  to  reside  here 
gether.  Moreover,  many  cases  oc 
in  which  the  use  of  iron  and  Glaub 
salt  is  extremely  beneficial.

This  village  is  large  and  populous; 
and  extends  from  the  river-side  high 


up  the  mountain  -  slope.  Standing 
on  a  gentle  acclivity  in  which  ihe 
grassy  eminences  of  the  northern 
mountain  chain  terminate,  its  situation 
is  very  picturesque.  The  houses  of 
the  hamlet  cluster  together  in  two 
distinct  groups  similarly  to  those  of 
Vulpera.  The  larger  of  them  is 
Unter-Schuls,  which  ends  in  a  steep 
knoll  crowned  by  the  Parish  Church. 
Between  the  two  sections  stands  a 
Bathing  Hall  supplied  with  the  chaly- 
beate waters  of  the  Wy  Spring. 

A  bridge,  called  the  "Gurlaina**  was 
thrown  across  the  Inn  Valley  in  1904/1905 
by  Messrs.  Bosshardt  &  Co.  Nftf  els.  Built 
at  the  instance  of  the  ''■ktelier-Verein" 
of  Sr-hnls- Tarasp,  it  is  a  bold  and  elegant 
strnctare,  160  metres  in  length  and  ^0 
metres  above  the  stream,  joining  the 
shady  to  the  sunny  side  of  the  valley  and 
giving  immediate  access  to  the  woods. 

VULPERA  consists  of  two  parts, 
called  respectively  Outer  and  Inner 
Vulpera;  the  former  containing  Hotel 
Waldhaus,  Villa  Wilhelmina  and 
its  dependences;  and  the  latter  con- 
taining Hotel  Schweizerhof  and  its 
dependances. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  resort  is  due 
principally  to  its  nearness  to  the  world- 
famous  Springs  of  Tarasp,  which  are 
coming  more  into  vogue  every  ye 

Vulpera,  like  its  two  sister  resoi 
is  to  be  particularly  recommend 
for  patients  passing  to  or  fn 
St.  Moritz,  -  that  is,  such  as  inte

DAVOS -DORP  lies  picturesquely 
not  g  fertile  meadows  and  -in  one  of 
le  most  beautiful  valleys  of  the  Alps, 
is  situated  near  the  lake,  and  is  sur-

in  peaks,  whose  slopes,  as  they  descend 
^Hrd  the  valley,  are  thickly  clad  with 
tods  of  fir  ancf  pine.  The  most  cele- 
&ted  heights  which  come  into  view 
i  the  rugged  peaks  of  the  Ttmsenkom 


and  Mlehel;  while  one  of  the  most 
magnificent  prospects  ii  that  on-to  the 
Sealetta  Glaeier.  Thus,  there  are  fine 
Alpine  tours  to  be  made  in  the  district, 
as  well  as  numerous  beautiful  walks 
for  patients  and  convalescents.  More- 
over, the  sheltered  position  of  the  place 
and  the  ease  of  access  render  it  both  a 
winter  and  summer  resort;  there  is  con- 
sequently extensive  skating  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood, and  the  place  is  frequented 
all  the  year  round. 

The  climate  has  determined  the 
character  .of  the  complaints  treated  in 
Davos:  they  are  tuberculosis,  pleurisy, 
pneamonia,  grip,  neuralgia  £c;  but 
great  success  nas  also  been  obtained  in 
eases  of  organio  heart-disease,  typhus, 
and  the  like.  In  the  hotels  and  board- 
ing -  houses,  800  persons  can  be  accom- 
modated. AH  the  buildings  are  supplied 
with  first-class  sanitary  arrangements, 
excellent  spring-water  and  electric  light. 
Furthermore,  the  place  possesses  some 
fine  sanatoria,  among  which  the  follow- 
ing deserve  special  mention:— 

Sanatorium  Or.  Dannegger,  proprietor 
A.  Orediv.  This  is  a  celebrated  esta-

Dr.  Dannegger,  under  whose  manage- 
ment it  has  been  placed,  was  for  many 
vears,  a  hospital  physician  in  Ziirich;  he 
has  occupied  himself  principally  with 
pulmonary  complaints,  and  visited  the 
various  resorts  which  are  generally  con- 
sidered so  favourable  in  this  connection, 
such  as  Cairo,  Heluan,  the  Biviera  &c., 
and  having  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
Davos,  with  its  open  sunny  situation 
and  great  altitude,  is  an  exceptionally 
favourable  spot  for  the  treatment  of 
tuberculosis  and  kindred  diseases,  has

the  Eastern  Alps  of  Switzerland,  and 
has  developed,  during  the  past  thirty 
years,  into  a  famous  resort  for  health 
and  pleasure  seekers. 


The  climate,  well  -  known  for  its 
salubrious  character,  remains  fresh 
and  invigorating  even  in  the  height 
of  summer,  and  renders  it  one  of 
the  most  delightful  of  resorts. 

Excellent  hotels,  pensions  and  villas 
vie  with  each  other  in  providing 
every  comfort  and  luxury. 

The  water  of  Davos  is  pure,  sparkling 
and  delicious:  the  sanitary  arrange- 
ments   leave   nothing   to  be  desired. 

For  the  entertainment  of  visitors,  there 
are.  daily,  open-air  and  evening  concerts; 
while  dances,  theatricals  and  other  even- 
ing amasements  are  constantly  given

Besides  the  (ierman  oharciies,  there  are 
an  English  and  a  Roman  Catholic chnrch, 
in  which  regular  services  are  held.

The  etOBnlom  in  the  neighbourhood

and  walk*  of  charming  variety  and

will  find  that  Pavoe  forms  a  capital 
centre  for  climbing.  A  section  of  the 
Swiss  Alpine  Clab  has  its  headqoarters 
in  Davos.  Botanists  will  discover  a 
rich  and  rare  harvest  of  Alpine  flowers. 
BntOBOlogiets  and  CFeologtsts  will  also 
find  ample  matter  of  interest.  '  Boating 
can  be  had  on  Davos  Lake. 

From  the  middle  of  November,  the 
presence  of  ice  and  snow  affords  means 
of  indalging  in  the  deligbtfol  winter 
sports  of  sleighing,  skating,  tobogganing, 
enrling  and  skiing.  The  iee-rink  is 
ezf*eptionally  fine;  and  it  is  donbtfnl 
whether  any  other  place  in  the  world 
offers  such  facilities  for  obtaining  pro- 
ficiency in  the  art  of  skating.  The 
Englsh  National  Skating  Association  has 
a  branch  at  Davos  —  the  only  one  in 
Switzerland.  Internatlonsl  Tonrnsments 
have  been  held^  at  which  some  of  the 
finest  skaters  of  the  world  have  com- 
peted for  the  championship.  The  popular 
Cnrllag  GInb  also  counts  many  members. 

Davos  is  within  easy  reach  of  London 
&  Paris.  The  railway  service  via  Amiens- 
Delie-Bale  is  the  most  convenient,  the 
journey  taking  only  26  hours  from 
London  and  16  hours  from  Paris.

SKASO?!:  May  till  Oct 

This  summer-resort  is  much  frequen- 
ted on  account  of  its  delightrul  sitnatioa 
among  woods  and  meadows.  Surrounded 
by  high  mountains,  it  falls  into  three 
groups,  namely:— Klest#rsDdrfll,  Klosleri 
Fists  and  Klosters  Brtteke.  Although  the 
resort  has  an  altitude  of  dose  npoa  ifiOO 
feet,  the  climate  is  comparatively  mild, 
owing  to  the  protection  afforded  by  the 
environing  heights.  It  ii,  therefore,  an 
excellent  stopping-place  on  the  route  to 
higher  rcsiona,  and  those  at  all  liable  to 
mountaia- sickness  should  make  a  stay 
here  betoro  proceeding  to  more  elevated 
resorts. 

'  Klosters  is  also  an  excellent  place  for 
patients  of  various  kinds.  It  has  a  quick- 
drying  sril,  a  bracing  but  not  keen  at- 
mosphere, and  is  supiuied  with  excellent 
water.  Thus  it  is  snecially  suitable  in 
oases  of  nervous  debility,  anssmia,  dys- 
pepsia, slow  convalescence  &o. 

The  resort  contains  some  pretty  prome- 
nades, of  which  the  principal  is  Batiwald, 
some  five  min.  walk  from  the  bridge. 

The  view  of  the  Silvretta  Glacier  is

RORSCHACH  is  a  pretty  market 
town  situated  on  the  shore  of  the 
Lake  of  Constance.  It  is  the  prin- 
cipal corn  -  market  in  Switzerland 
and  its  harbour  is  very  animated. 
Moreover,  the  place  is  frequented 
as  a  climatic  health-resort,  and  pos- 
sesses bathing  -  establishments  with 
**whey'*  treatment.

the  finest  in  Europe,  being  bordered 
on  the  one  side  by  Switzerland,  and 
on  the  other  by  Baden,  Wurtemberg, 
Bavaria  and  Austria.  The  traffic 
upon  its  bright  green  waters  is  very 
considerable;  and  the  steamer -trips 
are  very  beautiful.  The  boats,  which 
carry  the  mails,  call  at  various

SCHAFFHAUSEN,  the  capital 
of  the  canton  of  the  same  name, 
is  an  industrial  town,  situated  on 
the  right  bank  of  the  Rhine,  and 
some  few  miles  below  the  spot 
where  it  leaves  Untersee.  It  was 
formerly  a  free  imperial  city,  which, 
in  spite  of  the  vicissitudes  through 
which  it  has  passed  and  the  many 
sieges  it  has  sustained,  still  pos- 
sesses a  large  number  of  ancient 
and  beautiful  houses,  a  handsome 
fountain,  and  a  Guild  Hall  dating 
back  to  the  middle- ages. 

Its  most  interesting  edifice  is  the 
Minster,  completed  in  1100.  The 
building,  which  is  an  early- Romane- 
sque basilica,  has  been  restored, 
and  contains  a  ^lumber  of  old  and 
curious  epitaphs.  The  inscription 
on  the  great  bell  inspired  SchiUer*s 
famous  poem  of  "Das  Lied  von  der 
Glocke".  Another  fine  church,  the 
largest  in  Switzerland,  is  that  of 
St.  John,  erected  in  the  12th  cent, 
in  Gothic  style,  and  possessing 
a  fine  organ.  Munot  Castle,  built 
in  the  16  th  cent,  has  a  watch- 
tower  that  commands  the  town.  The 
Rathaus,  with  its  tastefully  wains- 
cotted  rooms,  and  the  onyx  in  the 
adjoining  record  office,  are  also  inter 
estmg.  A  picturesque  house,  calle 
"Haus  zum  Riiter",  the  Imthurneun

and  a  Museum  complete  the  sights 
of  the  town.

It  is  a  small  place  with  a  few  large 
factories  and  made  celebrated  by  its 
vicinity  to  the  RHINE  PALLS: 
these  are  considered  the  mightiest 
and  most  beautiful  in  form  through- 
out Europe.  Goethe  refers  to  them 
in  the  following  terms:— 

^*This  natural  phenomenon  will  often 


be  painted  and  described:  it  will 
astound  every  beholder,  induce  many 
to  make  the  attempt  to  put  his  sensa- 
tions into  words;  and  yet  none  will 
reproduce  it,  still  less  exhaust  it" 

The  breadth  of  the  fall  above  is 
360  feet  —  its  height  45  feet;  the 
picturesque  surroundings,  the  vastness, 
of  the  fall  itself,  and  the  peculiar 
changing  light  of  the  spray-cloud  are 
truly  grand. 

Ttiis  light  is  most  interesting  when 
the  slanting  beams  of  the  rising  or 
the  setting  sun  so  fall  upon  the 
spray  and  spume  as  to  form  most 
beautiful  rainbows,  or  when  the 
silver  light  of  the  moon  illumines  it 
with  her  cold  rays. 

The  finest  months  for  seeing  the  fall

excellent  prospect  of  them  is  obtained 
by  taking  the  boat  which  carries  the 
tourist  to  the  grand  rock  that  divides 
the    falling    waters:    standing    here, 
Tounded  by  the  boiling  surge  and 
ray,   the   beholder  is  almost  over- 
timed by  the  booming  and  tbunder- 
of  the  grand  phenomenon. 
)ut  the  falls  should  also  be  seen 
m  atfove,  as  the  effect  then  pro- 
:ed  is  a  very  peculiar  one.    The 
it  spot  from  which  to  obtaia  such 
/iew  is  near  the  railway  bridge  that 


spans  the  Rhine  with  its  remarkable 
sweeping  arches. 

Moreover,  above  the  falls,  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  river,  stands 
Laufen  Castle,  a  mediaeval  structure 
with  extensive  walls  and  turrets  in  a 
picturesque  situation  on  the  left  bank 
of  the  stream.  Two  points  of  view 
close  by,  which  are  named  respectively 
Kanzeli  and  Pischeiz,  are  celebrated 
spots,  from  which  a  magnificent  pro- 
spect of  the  falls  is  obtained,  and 
should  not  be  missed  by  those  who 
wish  to  get  a  good  idea  of  the  grandeur 
of  this  imposing  spectacle. 

About  10  minutes  distant  from 
Laufen  Castle  lies  Dachseu,  a  Station 
on  the  Winterthur-Ziirich  Line,  and  an 
excellent  centre  for  excursions  along 
the  left  bank  of  the  Rhine :  it  is  from 
here  that  the  two  points  of  view 
mentioned  above  are  best  visited.

Newly  opened.    Most  luxurious  house.    Suites  with  bath. 


forms  the  entrance  to  the  Swiss  Alps 
and  has  been  well-named  the  Golden 
Portal.  Much  lower  in  elevation 
than  any  other  town  in  Switzerland, 
it  possesses  a  climate  so  exception- 
ally mild  that  many  a  tropical  fruit 
thrives  in  its  soil. 

Of  its  many  •  celebrated  buildings 
the  most  striking  is  the 

Minster,  a  cruciform  basilica,  in 
Romanesque  style  with  two  towers, 
surmounted  by  minarets,  and  built  of 
white  and  red  sandstone.  Though 
begun  at  the  opening  of  the  lltb  cent., 
the  main  part  of  the  present  building 
dates  back  only  as  far  as  the  14th  cent 
t  was  admirably  restored  in  the  years 
[880  to  1889.  Its  interior,  consisting 
>f  a  nave  and  two  aisles,  is  grand  in 
ts  severity.  The  choir  is  picturesque 
~.nd  shut  off  by  seven  columns.   The 

'ancel  (1486)  contains  some  beautiful 


works  of  art,  including  a  font  of  1495; 
while,  in  the  aisles,  there  are  some 
interesting  tombs  of  the  14tb  and  15tb 
centuries,  among  them  being  that  of 
Erasmus  of  Rotterdam.  The  transept 
contains  some  excellent  carved  seats 
of  the  15th  cent. 

Behind  the  Minster,  at  Mauer  Terrace, 
stands  the  P/a/«,  overlooking  the  Rhine 
from  a  height  of  70  feet.  Adjoining 
it  are  the  premises  of  the  Allgemeine

1,500  persons.  Almost  opposite  is  the 
Concert  Hall,  likewise  with  seats  for 
1 ,500  persons.  Hard  by,  at  Barfiisser  PI., 
stands  the  former  Franciscan  Church, 
a  vast  edifice  erected  in  the  14th  cent. 
}t  has  been  thoroughly  renovated,  and 
now  contains 

The  Historical  Museum,  consisting 
of  interesting  collections  of  antiquities 
and  works  of  art  dating  back  to 
Rorran  times.  But  perhaps  the  most 
interesting  of  all  the  relics  is  the 
Dance  of  Death,  of  which  the  few 
remaining  copies  will  be  found  in  the 
choir.  The  figures,  which  represent 
Death  dancing  in  various  forms  with 
various  persons  (such  as  the  doctor, 
the  king,  the  preacher  and  the  pope)« 
appear  to  have  been  painted  original* 
ly  in  water-colours  on  the  walls  of 
the  transept  in  Klingenthaler  Church. 
Afterwards  repainted  in  oil,  they  were, 
later  on,    copied  by  Holbein   on -to 


the  walls  of  the  Prediger  Kirchhof 
(church-yard). 

Passing  through  Gerber  Gasse  and 
Markt  Gasse,  we  reach  the  site  of 
the  old  Rhine  Bridge,  from  which  the 
witches  of  the  middle  •  ages  were 
thrown  into  the  water  beneath.  The 
structure  is  now  being  rebuilt,  a 
temporary  bridge  taking  its  place 
in  the  meantime.  From  the  bridge, 
the  Rhein  Sprung  leads  up  to  the 
University,  an  edifice  with  a  stately 
fa9ade.  A  narrow  lane  to  the.  right 
runs  up  to  Martinskirche,  parts  of 
which  date  back  to  the  13th  cent, 
though  the  main  building  was  erected 
after  the  earthquake  of  1356. 

Returning  to  the  bridge,  we  glance 
at  the  Blue  and  While  Houses,  two 
handsome  buildings  in  Renaissance

wrought  iron  and  other  beautiful  de- 
corations.   Having  then  walked  on-to

History.  ST.  GALL,  as  its  name 
implies,  was  founded  by  St.  Gallus, 
one  of  the  numerous  Irish  missionaries 
who  preached  the  Gospel  to  the 
Teutonic  tribes  in  the  7th  century. 
This  saint  gathered  round  him  here 
a  monastic  brotherhood;  and  a  Bene- 
dictine Abbey  was  built  which  became 
the  nucleus  of  the  modern  city.  The 
monastery  was  maintained  down  to 
the  beginning  of  the  19*^  century. 
About  the  same  time  that  this  was 
abolished,  the  town  was  constituted 
the  capital  of  the  present  canton  of 
like  name;  while  ^  in  1846 ,  it 
became  the  seat  of  a  bishop,  a  part 
of  the  18th  cent,  abbey  still  being 
used  as  the  episcopal  residence. 

The  place,  however,  is  only  to  a 
limited  extent  Roman  Catholic.  Even 
as  early  as  the  lOth  cent  differences 
arose  t>etween  the  Abbey  and  the 
town;  and  when  the  great  Reformation 
conflict  came,  the  severance  was 
completed.    During  the  whole  of  this

period  St.  Gall  had  been  growing 
in  wealth  and  importance,  and  had 
gradually  become  a  leading  commer- 
cial town.  Its  original  staple  industry 
was  linen;  which  was  gradually 
superceded  by  embroidery  of  which 
trade  it  is  now  the  chief  centre  in 
Switzerland.  The  development  of  the 
place  since  the  introduction  of  ma- 
chinery has  been  very  rapid.  The 
factories,  most  of  which  are  situated 
in  the  environs  of  the  town,  employ 
upwards  of  19,500  manual-machines 
and  3000  power-looms.  Embroidery, 
lace-curtains  &c.  to  the  value  of 
more  than  100  million  francs  are 
produced  annually,  a  large  proportion 
of  which  is  exported  to  England,  the 
United  States  and  the  colonies. 

Situation  &c.  The  situation  of 
St.  Gall,  with  its  suburbs  Strauben- 
zell  and  Tablat»  is  one  of  the  loftiest 
.enjoyed  by  any  of  the  larger  towns 
of  Europe;  and  its  position  is  ex- 
ceedingly beautiful,  as  it  lies  in  a 
long   narrow  valley  bordered   by  the 


Alps  and  open,  on  the  north-eastern 
side,  to  the  Lake  of  Constance.   The 
ranges  of  hills  are  pleasantly  wooded  ' 
and    rich   in   idyllic  landscapes;   the  j 
mountain  to  the  N.  is  called  Rosen- 1 
htrg,     that    to    the   S.    consists    of 
Berneck  and  Freudenherg ;  and   tiift 
views    obtained    from    them    include^ 
Lake  Constance  (8,200  feet)  and  the' 
distant  Alpine  peaks.  i 

Edifloes.  In  the  central  parts  of  the  I 
city  there  are  a  large  number  of  inter- 
esting edifices,  both  private  and  public] 
Many  of  the  houses  —  ancient  asj 
well  as  modern  —  are  adorned  withj 
sumptuously  decorated  gables  and^ 
fa9ades ;  and  the  last  of  the  old  gatasJ 
called  Karlstor,  is  very  elaboratel|j

the  ancient  abbey  but,  in  all  its 
parts,  dating  from  the  Rococo  period 
(1756—1765).  It  is  an  elegant  and 
pleasing  structure,  with  beautifully 
embellished  interior  remarkable  for  its 
carved  choir -stalls  and  screen  of 
beaten  iron. 

Adjoining  the  edifice  are  the  former 
monastic  buildings;  one  part  of  which 
is  now  the  residence  of  the  bishop 
and  clergy,  —  the  other  being  used 
for  various  secular  purposes.  This 
secularized  portion  contains  a  valu- 
able library  of  about  35,000  vols., 
comprising,  among  its  numerous  in- 
cunabula and  MSS.y  a  13^  century 
copy  of  the  Nibelung  Saga. 

Opposite  the  Cathedral  are  the 
premises  of  the  Kaufmdnnischen 
Directorium  and  the  Town  Hall, 
the  latter  of  which  contains  an 
Ethnographical  Museum. 

Behind  the  cathedral  is  the  Terminus 
Station  of  the  Dreilinden  Funicular. 

Hence,  MoosbrQcke  St.  leads  in 
a  K.  E.  direction  to  Burggraben  and 
the  Kleiner  Briihl  where  stand  a 
Hall  of  Music  and  the  Cantonal 
School,  The  Kleiner  Briihl  forms  a 
triangle,  whose  N.W.  apex  almost 
adjoins  the  Stadt  Park,  a  beautiful 
spot  rendered  doubly  interesting  by 
an  Aviary,  a  Botanical  Garden,  an 
Alpinum  and  a  Museum.  Further  on, 
in  Notker  St.  is  the  Vadian  Library, 
of  60,000  vols,  and  500  MSS. 

We  have  now  reached  the  more 
outlying  districts  of  the  city.  Some 
distance  to  the  S.  E.  of  the  Stadt 
Park  rises  the  beautiful  Church  of 
Linsebiihl  in  Barocco  style.  At  the 
other  end  of  the  city  is  the  Gothic 
Church  of  St.  Leonhard*s. 

""IJUBSIONS:  In  the  immediate 
n€  'ourhood,  there  are  some  beanti- 
fn  nort  walks,  the  favourite  being  to 
Di  Inden  and  Frendemberg  (see 
£  ioolar"  above),  to  Solitude ,  to 
N<  ,  to  Frohlichseirg*  to  WAID  and  to 
th  ~  der  Park  at  ^^PETEB  and  PAUL". 
LID,  a  freqaented  health-resort 
811  dd  between  St.  Q-all  and  Lake  Con- 
st) ce,  and  possessing,  at  Lower  Waid, 
%         '^oriam  called 


^Evramttalt  aaf  der  Wald>*.  This  well- 
appointed  hydro*  lies  in  a  healthy,  and? 
beautifnl  spot  2,068  ft.  above  the  sea-leveL 
It  is  easily  reached  either  from  Boraohaoh^ 
St.  Gall,  or  Mdrschwil,  the  last  station 
being  the  nearest.  If  desired,  carriages 
are  sent  to  any  of  the  three. 

The  treatment  takes  careful  account  of 
seven  main  points,  viz.,  diet,  air,  sunlight,, 
hydrotherapy,  gymnastics,  dermo-tfaera- 
peutics  &  rest.  In  the  main,  the  establish- 
ment is  a  vegetarian  hydro*  paying  special 
attention  to  ansamia,  debility,  gout,  rheu- 
matism, obesity,  neurasthenia  and  pul- 
monary complaints;  in  the  cure  of  which 
excellent  results  have  been  obtained. 

Of  the  more  distant  trips  from  St. Gall 
the  finest  is  the  road  winding  nlong- 
tbe  northern  slope  of  Freadenberg 
past  Notkerseggy  to 

TOGEIilNSEGG  (8,168  ft.),  the  view 
obtained  of  the  lake  of  Constancey  of 
Hattenland,  Siintisstoek  Ae.  being  very 
fine.  We  descend  the  hill  on  the  other 
side  to  Speieher,  and  bear  leftwards 
to  Trogen  (see  route  GO):  from  here, 
the  route  runs  southwards,  via  Ofibris 
and  Gals  (railway  to  St.  Qall),  to 

APPENZELIi  (POP.:  4,500.  — ALT.: 
2,572  ft.  —  HOT.:  Hecht),  the  terminus  of 
the  railway  from  Hensau  &  Urnasch.  In 
the  neighbourhood  is  the  pre*  ty  little  spa 
called  Wetssbad,.  whence.  SInT[S.(!:j,210« 
feet)  may  be  ascended. 

The  rail  from  Appensell  to  Herisau 
is  a  small -gauge  one,  running  parallel 
with  the  carriage-road.  It  passes  through 
0-onterbad,  with  chalybeate  springs,  and 
thence  to  Gonten,  beyond  which  lies 
St.  Jacobsbad  (mineral  springs).  From 
Urnasch  the  rail -road  proceeds  north- 
wards, past  Waldstatty  possessing  good: 
hotel  and  chalybeate  springs,  to  the- 
important  town  of 

HERISAU  (POP.:  18,000),  remarkable 
for  its  interesting  clock-tower  (7tii  cent.^ 
and  extensive  muslin  mills.  A  few  miles 
beyond  it  lies  Winkeloy  the  junction  with- 
the  St.  Gall-Winterthur  Line,  the  only 
places  of  importance  passed  on  the  route' 
to  the  latter  beingr  Flswyl  and  Wyl.

the  northern  end  of  the  lake  to  which 
it  >as  given  its  name.  Its  situation 
is  superb.  *'It  lies  in  a  deep  valley, 
where  the  limpid  Limmat  rushes  from 
^he  beautiful  Alpine  lake.  The  long 
bridge  spanning  the  effluence  .  .  . 
forms  one  of  the  most  delightful 
promenades  anywhere  to  be  found. 
At  the  further  end  of  the  lake  rise 
the  gigantic  summits  of  the  Alps  of 
Claris  and  St.  Gothard  and  the 
glaciers  of  the  Bemer  Oberlandj  — 
a  sweeping  semicircle  lighted  up  by 
the  setting  sun;  while  a  magic  twi- 
light lay  upon  the  still  waters- of  the 
lake".     (Moltke*s  Letters.) 


The  Limmat,  which  flows  through 
the  middle  of  the  town  and  is  crossed 
by  eleven  bridges,  is  joined  a  short 
distance  beyond  the  railway  station 
by  the  SihI.  At  this  point,  on  the 
tongue  of  land  bordered  by  the  two 
rivers  and  the  station,  rises  the 

Landesmusenm  (National  Museum). 
It  is  a  large  and  handsome  edifice, 
whose  fa9ades,  tower,  turrets  and 
gables  recall  reminiscences  of  the 
various  districts  and  cities  of  the 
country.  In  its  saloons  are  gathered 
together  many  relicj  illustrative  of  the 
glorious  past  of  ihe  little  republic.

comer  of  the  Quai  Brucke,  we  turn 
down  Stadthaus  Quai  (with  the  Official 
Inquiry  Office  located  in  No.  I),  leading 
to  the  ''Bau'sch&nzli*',  a  small  island 
in  the  river,  on  our  right  hand^  then, 
past  the  fine  new  General  Post  Office 
on  the  left,  and  the  Kauf haus  on  the 
right,  to  Miinster  Brticke.  Opposite 
the  head  of  the  bridge  stands  the 
12  th  cent  Fraumunsier,  whose  red 
steeples  overlook  the  town  from  a 
majestic  height.  At  the  other  end  of 
the  bridge  is  situated  the 

Municipal  Library,  consisting  of 
nOfibO  volumes,  with  numerous  in- 
cunabula and  4,500  manuscripts,  t>e- 
sides  a  collection  of  portraits,  a  cabinet 
of  coins,  busts  of  celebrated  citizens, 
and  a  gong  of  the  year  1294  &c. 
Hard  by  is  the  most  interesting  build- 
ing in  the  city,  namely, 


Gross  Miinster,  built  in  honour  of 
Sts.  Felix,  Regula  and  Exuperantius, 
who,  according  to  tradition,  were 
martyred  on  the  banks  of  the  Limmat. 
The  present  edifice,  which  is  Roman- 
esque in  style,  was  built  in  1078, 
on  the  site  of  the  original  church, 
destroyed  by  fire.  The  construction 
is  somewhat  peculiar:  the  choir  closes 
in  a  right  angle;  while  the  main 
porch  is  at  the  side,  instead  of 
opposite  the  choir.  The  towers  have 
been  finished  in  Gothic  style;  and, 
on  the  western  one,  there  is  an 
enormous  figure  of  Charlemagne  in  a 
i<ittin(;  posture  (12th  cent.).  Returning 
to  the  bridge,  we  walk  do wn  Rathaus 
Quai  past  the  Riiden,  formerly  the 
^Zunfthaus*  of  the  nobles:  the  building 
now  contains  a  permanent  exhibition

the  Pestalozzianum,  in  honour  of 
J  Pestalozzi,  who  was  born  in  Zurich* 
At  the  further  comer  of  the  quay 
stands  the  Rathaus,  a  Renaissance 
edifice  completed  in  1698.  It  is  not 
only  interesting  for  the  works  of  art 
which  it  contains,  but  in  one  of 
its  rooms,  the  Regierungsratsaal,  the 
Peace  of  Zurich  was  signed  on 
the  10*h  Nov.  1559,  whereby  the 
Austrian  dominion  over  Lombardy 
was  transferred  to  the  house  of 
Savoy.  Close  to  the  Rathaus  stands 
i  so-called  Museum,  a  handsome 
fc  iing  consisting  principally  of 
r  ing- rooms,  and  m  this  respect, 
c  of  the  most  important  in 
S  xerland.  Here  will  be  found  all

^  Admission  is  obtained  on  re-

into  Niederdorf  St,  whence  Brunn 
Gasse  brings  us  to  the  Prediger- 
kirche ,  formerly  a  Dominican  mo- 
nastery and  now  containing,  in  its 
high  choir,  the  Cantonal  Library* 
Passing  out  of  the  square  at  the

various  footpaths,  but  the  usual  way 
of  reaching  the  spot  is  by  the  moun- 
tain railway,  v^orked  on  the  adhesion 
principal.  The  rail  begins  at  Zelnau, 
about  10  minutes  from  the  centre  of 
the  city,  and,  as  it  rises,  affords  op- 
portunity for  viewing  the  surrounding 
country  to  great  advantage. 

The  gradient  of  the  railway  is  70'*/oo; 
but,  during  the  30  years  that  it  has 
been  working,  it  has  proved  itself  ad- 
mirable in  every  way.  The  trains,  con- 
sisting of,  at  most,  3  coaches^  can  be 
brought  to  a  standstill  at  the  steepest 
spots  by  means  of  the  double  brakes 
with   which   the   coaches    are  fitted. 


During  the  ascent  the  train  is  pushed  ^ 
by    the    engine;    while,    during    the 
descent,  it  is  pulled. 

Arrived  at  the  summit,  the  prospect 
which  opens  out  before  the  eye  of  the 
beholder  is  truly  superb.    Below,  lies 
the  beautiful  lake,    its  shores  dotted 
with  pretty  hamlets,  and  closed,  a 
northern  end,   by  the  city  of  Zui 
whence  the  Limmat   is  seen  flov 
through    the    valley;    while,    in 
distanoe,  the  Alps  Irom  Santis  to 
Stockhorn,  as  well   as  the  Jura  p 
Vosges    Mountains     and     the    Bl

BADEN  is  a  famous  bath  of  great 
antiquity.  It  is  mentioned  by  Tacitus; 
and  a  large  number  of  relics,  preser- 
ved in  its  Museum,  also  testify  to 
its  great  age.  Destroyed  by  the 
Allemani,  it  became,  in  the  middle- 
ages,  a  baronial  seat;  and  the  waters 
regained  their  former  celebrity.  Popes 
and  princes  sought  their  help,  and 
gradually  the  modem  spa  sprang  up 
close  to  the  little  town. 

It  lies  in  a  sharp  bend  of  the 
Limmat,  just  where  the  stream  turns 
at  right  angles  and  flows  due  west 
to  join  the  Aare.  The  spot  is  a 
well-protected  one,  lihut-in,  except  to

clad  heights.     This,    in    spite   of  the

altitude  of  the  place,  renders  it  com- 
paratively mild.  Fog  is  rare,  local  winds 
are  unknown,  though  light  breezes 
are  almost  constant;  the  variations  of 
temperature  are  very  slight  and  the 
humidity  lower  than  in  most  places 
of  a  similar  character. 

There  are  21  springs,  —  all  thermal 
and  yielding  daily  a  million  litres. 
They  rise  on  the  banks  of  the  stream, 
right  at  the  corner  of  the  flat  tongue 
of  land  on  which  Baden  stands.  Their 
temperature  is  47^  C.  In  chemical  ana- 
lysis, they  yield  chiefly  sulphuric  acid, 
chlorine,  sodium,  calcium  and  carbonic 
acid;  while  all  the  alkalies  and  alka- 
loids are  represented;  and  phosphoric, 
boracic  and  arsenic  acids  occur. 

The  diseases  most  snooessf oily  treated 
are  those  of  the  following  groups:— 
rheumatism  and  gout;  affections  of  the 
mnoons  membrane;  female  eomplaints, 
kidney  disease  and  distnrbanoes  of  the 
digestive  organs;  metallic  poisoning; 
effects  of  bone  fracture:  dislocation  and 
cramp;  after-effects  of  grip,  in  which 
the  waters  are  exceptionally  effective. 

The  place  is  well  -  provided  with 
means  of  entertainment,  including  a 
concert -room,  ani  excellent  band  and 
good  theatre.  There  are  also  a  summer- 
theatre  and  a  handsome  casino. 

The  town  itself  lies  to  the  south  of  the 
Kur  Park,  and  contains  several  interest- 
ing buildings,  in  one  of  which  (Baldineer 
Haus)  have  been  preserved  many  of  the 
Bonian  relics  above  referred  to.  Oppo- 
site the  town  and  perched  on  a  height 
270  feet  above  the  old  bridge,  stand  the 
ruins  of  Stein  Castle,  adding  greatly

This  is  the  capital  of  the  canton

the  banks  of  the  Aar,  and,  with  the 
exception  of  Treves,  is  perhaps  the 
oldest  Trans-alpine  city  extant. 

Fortified  by  the  Romans  in  A.  D. 
272,  it  was  abandoned  by  them  to 
the  Alemanni  and  passed  through  the 
vicissitudes  common  to  central  Europe 
during  the  dark  ages  and  the  me- 
diseval  period.  Gothic  architecture 
characterized  its  buildings,  and  a 
Gothic  cathedral  was  raised  in  me- 
mory of  St.  Ursus  and  Victor,  soldiers 
of  the  Theban  legion  who  were  be- 
headed here  in  303  A.  D.  The^e 
buildings  disappeared  under  influence 
of  the  French  at  the  Renaissance,  al-

ramparts  with  their  Leaning  Tower 
and  St  Ursus*  Bastion,  two  remark- 
able structures  which  are  still  intact. 

Of  the  Benaissanoe  edifices  the  finest 
is  the 

Ctthedral,  completed  in  1778  from  de- 
signs by  Pisoni.  It  is  a  very  heautifol 
example  of  Italian  Renaissance,  with  a 
shapely  cupola  and  a  fine  approach.  The 
interior  is  embellished  with  eleven  altars 
and  numerous  reliefs  and  paintings.  It 
also  contains  considerable  treasure. 

Other  buildings  of  interest  are: — 

The  Professors'  Churchy  built  by  the 
Jesuits  in  1688  in  their  characteristic 
Barocco  style. 

The  Cit7  Maseuniy  with  antiquities  and 
paintings,  the  latter  including  a  famous 
Madonna  by  Holbein  the  younger. 

The  Armory,  with  a  very  extensive 
collection  of  arms  and  trophies. 

The  Town  Hall)  originally  erected  in 
li76»  received  a  Benaissance  facade  in 
4682-1712. 

The  Clock  Tower,  on  the  Market  Place, 
was  built  in  1250,  and  possesses  a  famous 
clock  constructed  in  1545. 

The  Oate  of  B&le  is  an  interesting 
specimen  of  fortress- work  (A.  D.  J  504). 
Other  relics  of  the  fortifications  are  St. 
Ursns'  Bastion,  Biedholz  Tower  (15i8),

Bienne  and  the  Boris  Tower  (1535). 

The  Concert  Halls,  North  Bing  St.

EXCURSIONS:  The  most  celebrated  is 
that  to  Weissenstein  (4,225  ft),  one  of  the 
most  renowned  mountains  in  the  Swiss 
Jura.  The  view  obtained  is  considered 
somewhat  less  beautiful  than  that  from 
the  Eligi  but  is  unquestionably  more  ex- 
tensive; lor,  during  clear  weather,  the 
whole  range  of  the  Alps  from  Mont  Blanc 
to  the  Tyrol  comes  within  the  ken. 

There  is  a  fine  walk  from  Weissen- 
stein to  the  Hasenmatte  which  com- 
mands a  beautiful  view  of  the  Black 
Forest  and  the  Vosges  Mts. 

Other  trips  are  to  the  famous  Her- 
mitage, to  Kurhaus  Ober  -  Balmberg, 
Atti^ols  &c.  This  year  a  railway  af- 
fording splendid  views  of  the  Alps  and 


running  to  Munster  ii^  the  Jura,  Bale 
and  Delle  is  to  be  opened.

northern  end  of  Lake  of  Biel,  the  popu- 
lation speakin(;  French  and  O^erman. 
It  contains  a  Hvsenniy  with  interesting 
collections  of  weapons,  coins  &c.,  and 
is  surrounded  with  magnificent  avenues 
that  lead  down  to  the  lake. 

A  funicular  railway  gives  access  to

persons  needing  rest  and  recreation. 

Another  funicular  runs  to

joined  the  federation  in  1815,  having 
been  previously  a  principdlity  be- 
longing to  the  House  of  Orange,  and, 
later,  a  possession  of  Prussia. 

The  town  lies  on  the  north-western 
shore  of  the  Lake  of  Neuchatel, 
flanked  by  a  fine  quay  about  2  miles 
in  length  and  in  the  middle  of  which, 
at  Quai  du  Port,  the  harbour  lies. 
Around  this  stand  some  of  the  finest 
buildings  of  the  place,  such  as: — 

The  Post  Office,  an  edifice  of  fine 
proportions  right  opposite  the  entrance 
to  the  harbour. 

To  the  left  is  the  Collide  Latin,  a 


grammar-school  containing  the  fine 
biological  collections  gathered  together 
by  Agassiz  and  Coulon,  as  well  as  a 
library  of  120,000  volumes,  many  of 
which  are  incunabula. 

It  may  be  noted,  here,,  that  Neuchitel, 
together  with  Laui^nne  and  Geneva, 
is  famous  for  its  educational  institutes, 
and  contains  numberless  boarding- 
schools  &c.  of  a  high-class  character.

the  Music  dcs  hcanx  Arts,  a  hand- 
some Renaissance  structure  containing 
the  valuable  municipal  Picture  Gallery

GENEVA,  the  most  famous  town  in 
Switzerland  and  especially  renowned 
for  its  numerous  and  excellent  edu- 
cational institutes,  lies  at  the  south- 
western comer  of  the  Lake  of  Geneva 
(Leman),  being  divided  into  two  parts 
by  the  blue  waters  of  the  Rhone. 


Dating  back  beyond  the  days  of 
the  Roman  empire,  it  became,  after  the 
fall  of  Rome,  the  capital  of  Burgundy. 
In  1536,  John  Calvin  fled  hither  from 
Paris;  and  Geneva  became  celebrated 
for  its  connection  with  the  reformation 
and  the  early  prmting  of  the  bible. 
It  was  this  city,  too,  that  gave 
Rousseau  to  the  world. 

Along  the  margin  of  the  lake  lie 
a  number  of  quays,  those  on  the 
northwestern  shore  being  Quai  du 
Leman,  Quai  des  Paquis,  and  Quai 
du  Mont  Blanc,  Between  the  first 
and  second,  there  is  a  large  jetty 
with  a  summing  -  school  attached, 
another  jetty  opposite  running  out 
from  Quai  des  Eaux  Vives  at  whose 
south  -  western  corner  begins  the 
Promenade  du  Lac  or  Jardin  Anglais. 
At  the  other  end  of  this  Promenade,

and  is  a  building  which  has  undergone 
many  modifications.    Pounded  in  the

in  appearance,  but  was  rebuilt  in  the 
12tli  and  13^  centuries  and  received, 
in  the  18th  cent.,  a  new  porch  with 
Corinthian  columns.  It  consists  of  a

From  Gare  desVoUandes  (a  railway 
station  in  the  eastern  corner  of  Geneva) 
lines  run,   via  Annemasse  June,  to 


Le  FayH  and  SamoBns  (omnibus  to 
Sixt),  the  stations  for  Mont  Blanc 

The  route  lies  through  French  terri- 
tory as  far  as  Tete  Noire,  but  is  pre- 
eminently Swiss  in  character. 

ANICEMASSE  JUNCTIOir  (HOT.t

where  the  main  turnpike-road  runs  off 
to  Samotos,  and  where  the  railway 
branches  to  Bellegarde-Boaveret. 

The  main-line  crosses  the  Atve  and 
tyrns  into  the  Vale  of  Arve.  Thence 
t^  La  Roche-sur-Foron,  the  junction 
for  Annecy  and  where  trains  must  be 
changed.  Having  crossed  the  Foron, 
the  Borne  and  the  Anre^  we  stop  at 

BONBTETII^IiE  (POP.  1 8,60a  —HOT.:

and  important  place,  beyondwhich,  on  the 
banks  of  the  stream,  are  two  monuments, 
one  to  the  soldiers  who  fell  in  1870,  the 
other  to  King  Charles  Felix  of  Sardinia. 

The  rail  from  here  continues  up  the 
narrow  valley  of  the  Arve  to 

CliVSES  (HOT.t  Balfot  de  la  Oare), 
formerly  the  terminus  of  the  railway. 
The  line,  however,  runs  on  through  the

to  Balme  and  Maglaad,  beyond  which 
the  valley  opens  out  and  the  Hont  Blanc

This  spot  exists  mostly  for  tourists, 
and  is,  of  course,  filled  with  guides,

Many  of  the  ascents,  however,  such

as  UioM  of  Brtvcnt,  PUglre  and 
Mtnteivert,  may  be  accomplisbed 
without  assistance.  The  latter  point, 
indeed,  is  accessible  by  a  cog-railway. 
To  reach  the  Chamonix  terminus  use 
is    made    of   the    footbridge    across 


the  rails  of  the  P.  L.  M.  Station. 
The  train,  after  leaving  Chamonix» 
mounts  to  the  village  of  Mouilles 
at  the  foot  of  the  mountain  and 
climbs  thence  a  declivity  to  the 
plateau  of  the  Planaz  which  it  crosses 
to  gain  the  picturesque  and  savage 
gorge  of  the  Greppon  Torrent.  The 
track  then  runs  under  the  abrupt 
rock  that  forms  the  cradle  of  the 
torrent,  traverses  a  uniform  incline 
of  22%  amid  forests  flanking  the 
Aiguilles  des  Charmoz,  and,  after  a 
final  turn,  which  reveals,  all  at  once, 
to  the  astonished  eyes  of  the  pas- 
senger, the  grand  spectacle  of  the 
Mer  de  Glace »  attains  the  station 
of  Montenvers  at  an  altitude  of 
1913  metres.    (See  Insert) 

Montenvers  is  an  excellent  point 
from  which  to  see  the  celebrated 
Vale  of  Cbamonix,  to  which  Coleridge 
wrote  his  magnificent  "Hymn  Before 
Sunrise";  and  those  wishing  to  see 
the  valley  in  all  its  glory  should 
start  at  least  2^9  hours  before 
dawn. 

The  valley,  which  has  only  become 
generally  known  during  the  past 
150  years,  is  about  20  miles  in 
length  and  a  mile  in  breadth:  it  is 
bordered,  on  the  one  side  by  the 
mountain  ranges  called  Us  Houches 
and  Col  de  Balme,  and,  on  the

Mont  Blanc  is  a  mountain  summit 
15»783  feet  above  the  level  of  the 
sea,  and  the  highest  point  of  the 
magnificent  group  to  which  it  has 
given  its  name;  it  is  thus  the 
highest  mountain  of  Europe.  — 
The  whole  mountain  mass  consists 
of  some  20  peaks  of  a  grand 
and  rugged  character,  between 
which  the  celebrated  Mer  de  Glace, 
^he    Bossons,     and     other    glaciers 

&0S 


move  slowly  down.  Mont  Blanc  itself 
was  first  climbed  by  Drs.  Paccard 
and  Balmat,  in  1796:  since  then, 
the  ascent  has  frequently  been 
made.  It  is,  however,  only  to  be 
accomplished  by  skilled  mountain 
climbers;  and,  indeed,  the  views 
obtained  from  the  points  mentioned 
above,  such  as  Montenvers  and 
Chapeau  are  all  that  can  be  desired, 
and  are  considered,  by  many,  to  be 
finer  than  that  from  the  summit  itself. 
From  Montenvers,  it  is  usual  to  cross 
the  Mer  de  Glace ,  a  guide,  being 
necessary. 

From  Ghamoniz,  thSra  is  a  celebrated 
route  aoross  T6te  Noire  to  Trient, 
Forclai  and  Marti^ny.  It  nms  up  the 
Arve,  pA£t  the  Glaeier  des  Bols,  and 
tbe  Ohapeau,  on  the  right,  to  Argenti^res. 
Here  a  branch -road  traverses  the  Col 
de  Balme  to  Trient,  where  It  meets 
the  main -road  coming  by  Ch&telajrd 
over  the  Tdte  Noire.  From  Chamonix 
an  eleotrio  rail  now  runs  to  Argentines. 
From  here  to  Ghatelard  the  section 
is  nearly  complete;  while  tfaat  from 
Gb&telard  via  Finhant  and  Salvan  is 
already  running.    (See  subroute  67  A).

ARGENTIERES  is  a  village  at  the 
foot  of  the  mighty  Glacier  d'Argentieres, 
that  lies  between  Aiguille  Vcrte  and 
Aiguille  du  ChardonneL  The  last, 
as  well  as  the  Col  d' Argentieres, 
the  Col  Dolent,  and  the  Col  des

nix,  the  chain  of  mountains  which 
culminate  in  Mont  Blanc  stands  out 
prominent  and  every  detaH  of  this  king 
of  mountains  up  even  to  the  obser- 
vatory on  his  summit  can  easily  be 
distinguished.  Once  there,  one  realises 
almost  at  a  glance  the  advantages  of 
a  unique  situation*  Being  at  the  head 
of  the  valley  where  it  is  narrowest, 
at  the  foot  of  the  Col  de  Balme  and 
of  the  Col  des  Montets,  there  are 
easy  excursions  as  well  as  stiff  climbs 
in  every  direction.  The  glacier 
d'Argentieres  is  only  4,500  feet  away, 
that  of  Le  Tour  is  forty  minutes  dis- 
tant, and  the  peaks  that  lie  adjacent 
to  them  are  as  bold  as  those  seen 
anywhere  in  the  Alps. 


The  hotel,  standing  in  its  own  grounds 
of  4  acres,  with  its  public  rooms  and 
terraces,  which  alone  cover  a  space 
of  over  4,000  square  feet,  contains 
everything  a  reasonable  man  could 
want  to  fill  up  an  idle  day. 

The  fhie  position  of  the  hotel  has 
called  forth  tiie  most  enthusiastic  praise 
from  various  quarters.  Amoii^  others^ 
Mr.  R.  P.  Scott  writes  in  the  "Review 
of  the  Incorporated  Association  of 
Head  Masters"  for  May  1904:^ 

**tht  view  from  my  window  was  of  $ur*

ROHOIVT  (ALT.:  2,560  ft.  —  POP.t 
2,000.  —  HOTELS:  Cerf;  Covronne)  is  a 
quaint  old  town  surrounded  with  towers 
and  ramparts,  and  picturesquely  situ- 
ated on  tne  top  ot  a  mountain.  It  pos- 
sesses an  ancient  Gh>thic  church,  with 
intevestinff  interior  and  a  lO^ii  cent, 
castle  built  by  the  Kings  of  Burgundy 
and  now  containing  public  offices. 
Bomont,  which  is  worth  stopping  at 
for  its  charming  views,  is  the  junction 
for  the  line  of  rail  running  southeast-

FRIBOUfiG,  founded  by  BerchtoldlV. 
of  Zahringen  in  the  12^^  cent,  is  a 
very  old  and  interesting  town  with  a 
biliuj^al  population.  Its  towers  and 
partially  preserved  ramparts,  as  well 
as  many  of  its  buildings,  give  to  it  a 
medisBval  appearance. 

The  principal  places  of  interest  are 
the  following,  namely: — 

Si.  Nicolas  Church,  a  fine  structure 
with  a  high  and  handsome  tower, 
founded  in  the  1  S^hcent.  but  remodelled 
in  Gothic  style  during  the  15th  cent. 
Entering  by  the  main  porch,  above 
which  there  are  some  remarkable 
reliefs  of  **The  Day  of  Judgement", 
we  visit  the  Choir,  with  interesting 


columns  and  late-Gothic  seats:  the 
interior  also  contains  a  fine  prgan 
and  some  stained-glass  &c. 

The  Rathaus  is  a  16th  cent  structure 
with  an  octagonal  tower.  In  front  of 
the  building,  there  is  an  enormous  old 
tree  of  which  the  legend  runs  that  it 
sprang  from  a  linden  branch  dropped 
from  the  hand  of  a  lad,  who,  bringing 
news  of  victory  from  Murten,  sank 
exhausted  on  the  spot  after  shouting  . 
the  word  *'Sieg".  The  age  of  the  tree, 
however,  belies  the  tale. 

The  Cantonal  Museum  contains, 
on  the  ground  floor,  a  Picture  Gallery 
and  a  Collection  of  Statuary;  while, 
on  the  first  floor,  there  are  collections 
of  antiquities  including  relics  of  the 
lake- dwellings,  and,  on  the  second 
and  third  floors,  biological  and 
mineralogical  cabinets. 

From  Fribourg,  a  line  of  rail  runs 
westwards  to 

PATERNE  (POP.:  4,20a  —  ALT.:  1,488 
feet  —  HOTELS:  Oars;  Croix  Blanche), 
an  important  railway  junction,  whence 
there  is  communication  with  Tverdon 
(see  route  62).  The  Lausanne  line  pro- 
ceeds from  Payeme  to  Murten  (Morat)  : 
and  along  the  shores  of  Murten  Li^e 
past  Aarberg,  to  Solothum.

Dent  du  Midi;  while  further  to  the 
right  is  the  Dent  d'Oche. 

The  town  is  very  ancient  and  full 
of  historical  associations.  To  the  east 
peeps  out,  from  among  surrounding 
trees,  the  Tour-de-Peilz,  supposed 
to  have  been  built  by  Count  Peter 
of  Savoy.  Near  the  railway  station 
rises  the  gilded  dome  of  the 
Russian  Church:  close  by  is  the 
Jenisch  Museum,  a  handsome  edifice 
-con  ining  biological  collections  and 
a  p    *ure  gallery. 

fi  the  most  interesting  building 
is  .J  Martin's  Church,  which  stands 
on  \  hill  a  short  distance  from  the 
tow  itself.  It  was  erected  in  1498, 
and  contains  a  marble  tablet  to  the 
mcr    **"  of  Broughton  and  Ludlow, 


who  took  part  in  the  condemnation 
of  Charles  L   in  1648. 

The  church  is  surrounded  by  oid 
chestnuts  &  limes,  from  among  which 
beautiful  prospects  are  obtained. 

Electric  railways  now  connect  Vevey 
with  various  lines,  and  form  an  inter- 
esting network,  bearing  the  collective 
name  of  Ohemins  de  Fer  Veveysans. 
The  chief  routes  are: — 

(a)  Vevey-  Blonay-  Chamby-  Bernese 
Oberland; 

(p)  Vevey- Chatel  St.  Denis -Bulle- 
Montbovon-Bernese  Oberland; 

(Y)  Vevey-Chexbres  -  Berne-  Bernese 
Oberland. 

Lines  a  and  P  join  the  Montreux-Ober- 
land-Bernois  railway  at  Chamby  and 
Montbovon  respectively  (see  page  529).

The  "Oberland"  is  the  famous  high-

and  the  Lakes  of  Brienz  and  Thun, 
at  its  N.E.  end,  and  by  the  Rhone 
along  its  S.E.  side  and  .^it  its  S.E.  end ; 
while,  bordering  it  to  the  N.W., 
lies  the  celebrated  cheese -producing 
district  of  Gruyeres.  This  last,  whose 
chief  town  is  Bulle  (see  below),  is 
encircled  by  lines  a  and  P;  and  thus 
this  country,  so  well  known  by  name 
but  so  little  in  fact,  has  been  opened 
up  to  modern  traffic  and  resort. 

Vcvey  is  consequently  destined  to 
form  a  most  important  tourist  centre, 
with  frequent  and  rapid  communication 
to  the  above-mentioned  districts  and 
through  -  trains    via    Montbovon    to 


Spiez   (route  70),  and    via    Chexbres 
to  Berne.

the  peak  of  Pleiades  (4,475  feet),  with 
magnificent  prospect. 

ST.  JLEGIER  (Pens.  Bichemont) 
is  a  favourite  resort,  remarkable  for  its 
decorated  houses  and  known  as  the 
''Fainted  Village**.  The  trescoes  are  the 
work  of  a  native  artist  named  Beguin, 
ODoe  well  known   in  -  Parisian  circles. 


Sick  and  weary,  he  retired  to.bisSwist' 
home,  and  observed  on  the  bam-dooit, 
the  remnants  of  some  ancient  8ketobea< 
These  he  retouched  and  added -tO|; 
taking,  mostly,  scenes  of  the  villas^

the  annual  mean  of  which  exceeds 
that  of  Montreux  by  half  a  degree. 
.  .  .  Only  on  the  southern  side  of 
the  great  Alpine  chain  do  we  find 
a  few  Swiss  spots  having  a  mean 
annual  temperature  slightly  greater 
than  that  of  Montreux,  and  even  if 
we  go  as  far  south  as  Italy  we 
shall  find  but  few  places  having 
such  an  equable  climate,  —  that  is 
to  say,  exhibiting  so  little  difference 


between  the  maxima  and  minima  oj 

temperature The  absence  ot\ 

sudden  fluctuations  which  has  been 
noticed  in  the  district  of  Montreul 
is  attributable  to  the  proximity  ol 
the  Lake  of  Geneva,  which  is,  likt 
all  extensive  sheets  of  water,  a  greii 
regulator  of  climate.  The  surface  of 
the  Lake  of  Geneva  is  1,230  ft.  mhon

although  inconsiderablCj  is  suf^cjeot

TEBRITET  is  one  of  the  loveliest  of  the 
many  lovely  villages  that  dot  the  famous 
Yaudois  shore  of  the  Lake  of  Geneva. 

Belonging  to  the  parish  of  liontreux,  it 
is  situated  in  magnificent  scenery  oppo- 
site the  Alps  of  Valais  and  Savoyard.  The 
slopes  behind  it  are  covered  with  the 
most  luxurious  subtropical  vegetation 
and  studded  with  picturesque  villas. 
Looking  southward  across- the  vast 


expanse  of  the  lake,  the  eye  rests 
on  lofty  summits  girt  with  wooded 
slopes,  the  pedestals  and  drapery  of 
the  mountain  range  stretching  from 
Savoy  to   the  Valais  Alps. 

Owing  to  its  perfectly  sheltered 
situation,  Territet  enjoys  a  quite  ex- 
ceptional climate.  Consequently,  a  Kur- 
saal  and  several  hydros  and  similar 
establishments  have  been  erected  in  the 
place  J  while  the  hotels,  too,  are  fitted 
with  modern  appliances  for  bathing  &c. 

Close  by  stands  the  Roman  Catholic 
church,  the  place  also  possessing  two 
protestant  places  of  worship  and  an 
English  church,  —  the  last  situated 
near  the  Grand  Hotel. 

Although  the  shore  is  somewhat 
narrow,  various  means  of  transport  are

V  Dh  the  setting  sun  through  the  narrow 
IX  dows  of  the  dungeon,  keeping  in 
D  d,  at  the  same  time,  Byron*s  lines:— 
"'  sre  are  seven  pillars  of  Gothic  mould, 
I:     }hillon*i  dungeons  deep  and  old; 


There  are  seven  columns,  massy  and  grey, 

Dim  with  a  dull  imprisoned  ray, 

A  sunbeam  which  hath  lost  its  way, 

And  throagh  the  crevice  and  the  cleft 

Of  the  thick  wall  is  fallen  and  left; 

Creeping  o*er  the  floor  so  damp, 

Like  a  mar«h*s  meteor  lamp; 

And  in  each  pillar  there  is  airing, 

And  in  each  ring  there  is  a  chain; 

That  iron  is  a  cankering  thing, 

For  in  these  limbs  its  teeth  remain . . .

Montreux  and  Interlaken 


The  object  of  the  Montreux-Bernese  Oberland  Electric  Railway,  is  to  join  these 
two  Tcelebrated  centres  by  a  railway  passing  through  the  most  beautiful  valleys 
ill  Switzerland. 

Leaving  the  station  of  the 

1=   iVIontreux   Federal  Railway  = 

comfortably  seated  in  a  luxurious  carriage  the  traveller  almost  unconsciously 
ascends  the  smooth  and  easy  gradient  of  this  wonderful  line.  Mounting  higher 
and  higher,  the  scenery,  in  all  its  majestic  grandeur,  gradually  unfolds  itself  to 
his  astonished  gaze.    A  15  minutes  journey  brings  him  to 

=:^:^=z^^=  Chernex  ^^^^^^^^= 

(Altitude  1900  ft.)  where  the  panorama  becomes  sublime,  and  he  whose  eyes  have 
once  rested  on  it,  will  keep  it  ever  in  his  memory.  His  enraptured  vision  dwells 
on  the  fascinating  beauties  of  the  Rhone  Valley  the  most  promenent  of  which 
stands  the  Dent  du  Midi  (altitude  10170  ft.)  whilst  below  at  his  feet,  the  azure 
waters  of  placid  fairy-like  Lake  Leman,  dance  and  sparkle  in  the  noonday  sun. 
On  the  oposite  shore  the  Savoy  Alps  rear  their  giant  heads  to  the  cloudless  skies. 
In  the  distant  horizon,  the  bluish  silhouette  of  t&e  Jura  makes  a  suitable  frame  to 
this  magnificent  picture.    Still  ascending  the  alpine  zone,  the  traveller  arrives  at 


Les   Avants 


a  first  class  sporting  station,  sheltered  from  all  wind  and  much  frequented  during 
the  whole  year,  thanks  to  the  mildness  and  regularity  of  its  climate.  From 
Les  Avants,  the  line  after  having  gone  through  a  tunnel  of  7750  feet,  in  length, 
passing  to  the  height  of  3410  feet,  under  the  Dent  de  Jaman,  reaches  in  35  minutes 
Montbovon  (about  15  miles)  the  well  known  locality  in  the  Gruyere.  On  leaving 
the  tunnel  of  the  Jaman,  the  contrast  with  the  preceding  valley  is  striking.  The 
traveller  finds  himself  carried  into  the  very  heart  of  a  country  wild  and  romantic, 
into  the  mildst  of  beautiful  pasture-lands  strewn  with  groups  of  fir-trees  and 
chalets.  Herds  of  cattle  grazing  here  and  there  on  the  sides  ol  the  mountains. 
Farther  on,  the  line  follows  the  valley  of  the  Hongrin  at  the  bottom  of  which 
roars  the  torrent  of  the  same  name  which  pours  its  waters  into  the  ravines,  some- 
times dark  and  deep,  sometimes  wide  and  accessible.  After  Montbovon  the  valle}' 
widens  by  degress  and  in  20  minutes,  we  reach 

—  Chateau  d'Oex  = 

I  altitude  3100  feet  (about  22  miles.)    This  alpine  station,  surrounded  by  high  and 

I  beautiful  mountains  is  a  resort  much  frequented.    The  climate  is  agreeable  and 

!  healthy.    In  summer,  a  gentle  breeze  tempers  the  ardour  of  the  mid-day  sun,  and 

in  autumn,  and  winter  the  brii^ht  bracing  and  clear  climate  attracts  a  great  number 
of  lovers  of  sport,  for  whom  each  year  Chateau  d'Oex  provides  splendid  tracks 
for  tobogganing  and  ski-ing,  and  large  skating  rinks.  From  Chateau  d'Oex  the 
line  still  follows  the  valley  of  the  Sarine  to 


Gessenay 


the  first  locality  in  the  Bernese  Oberland. 

^^^z=^^^^  Gstaad  ' 

a  charming  village  rapidly  developing.  This  place,  yesterday,  unknown  is  be- 
coming, thanks  to  the  ever-increasing  number  of  visitors,  a  popular  and  flouris- 
hing winter  resort.  Several  very  comfortable  hotels  are  to  be  found  here.  Gstaad 
is  the  starting  place  for  numerous  excursions  in  the  High  Alps.  It  is  the  junction 
of  the  two  picturesque  valleys  of  Gsteig  and  Lauenen;  in  the  last  locality  a  large 
mineral  water  establishmt* nt  is  being  built.  The  Federal  diligences  run  between 
Gsteig  and  Aigle  by  te  col  du  Pillon  (alt.  4800  ft,)  the  only  communication  between 
the  basin  of  the  Sarine  and  the  Rhone.  The  line  follows  afterwards  the  Saanen- 
mOser  (alt.  4000  ft.)  from  where  one  can  enjoy  an  incomparable  view  over  the 
Bernese  Alps,  makes  a  wide  curve  ended  by  a  tunnel  and  arrives  at  the  animated 
village  of 

^=  Zweisimmen  ^= 

a  station  much  visited  in  summer  thanks  to  the  picturesqueness  of  its  scenery 
and  to  its  fresh  and  salubrious  climate.  In  winter  the  celebrated  ski  and  luge 
competitions  attract  a  great  number  of  pleasure  seekers.  Zweisimmen  is  the 
terminus  of  the  Montreux  Bernese  Oberland  Electric  Railway  which  joins  here 
the  Zweisimmen-Spiez-Thoune-Interlaken-Bernese  Oberland  Railway. 

The  restaurant  cars  are  added  to  the  mid-day  and  evening  trains   (see 
time  table).

SImmenthal). 

Montreux  is  the  point  of  departure 
of  the  Bernese  Oberland  route,  63 

kilometres  long,  to  the  Lake  of  Thun, 
passing  Les  Avants,Chateau-d*Oex  and 
Zweisimmen,  and  effecting  at  Spiez 
a  junction  with  the  Thun -Inlerla ken 
Railway.  Leaving  the  central  station, 
the  line  rises  almost  immediately 
through  the  vine -clad  slopes  and 
meadows  of  Fallens,  Chdtelard  and 
Cft^rwtf^,  affording  the  traveller  a  series 
of  unrivalled  views  of  the  glorious 
blue  lake  at  his  feet. 

In  40  miD.  we  reach  liES  ATABTTS.

—  ENGLISH  CHUBCH:  Sun.  8.80,  10.30, 
H.  C.  Son.  8.80  and  noon.  —  This  is  a 
mountain  resort  of  the  first  order,  fre- 

?[uented  all  the  year  round  and  justly 
amed  for  its  position  at  the  head  of 
a  great  yalley  open  to  the  lake  on  the 
south  and  sheltered  on  all  other  sides 
by  lofty  mountains.  The  place  is  no  less 
renowned  for  its  admirably- appointed 
hotels,  and  the  attractions  offered  to 
tourists.  In  spring  the  meadows  from 
Soailer  upwards  are  carpeted  with 
narcissi  (poeticus)  and  other  early 
flowers.  In  summer  Les  Avants  forms 
an  advantageous  centre  for  mountain 
excursions,  with  abundance  of  walks  of 
a  more  pastoral  character.  The  month 
of  September  brings  a  host  of  votaries 
of  lawn -tennis,  for  the  annual  tourna- 
ment (Swiss  Championships);  while 
winter  provides  an  endless  round  of 
outdoor  distractiona  in  the  shape  of 
luge-ing,  akating,  ski-ing  &c 

After  leaving  Les  Avants^  the  line  passes 
under  the  Jaman  Mountams  by  a  tuncel 
2,600  metres  long  and,  in  35  min.,  reaches 
MONTBOVOM'  (22  km.  —  ALT.:  2,626  ft. 


HOT.:  de  Jamaa)  situated  in  the  charming^ 
valley  of  the  Gruy^re  (see  below). 

The  scenery  here  ia  in  striking  con- 
trast to  that  of  Les  Avants.  Around  us 
all  is  now  rugged,  silent  and  severe, 
with  pastures  girding  the  base  of 
mountain  peaks. 

Beyond  Montbovon  the  valley  widens 
out  considerably;  and,  in  20  min.,  a

This  is  a  most  delightful  summer 
and  winter  resort  situated  on  the 
banks  of  the  brawling  Sarine,  and 
rapidly  growing  in  fame  and  favour. 
No  place,  perhaps,  is  more  tempting 
to  artists ,  botanists  and  anglers ; 
while  well-kept  tennis  courts  attract 
a  large  number  of  players,  both 
amateur  and  professional. 

The  climate  is  agreeable  and  very 
healthy.  In  summer  a  cool  breeze 
tempers  the  heat  of  the  sun  in  the 
middle  of  the  day.  This  breeze 
ceases  in  autumn,  and  the  winter 
days  are  bright.  Fog  is  of  rare 
occurrence;  the  sun  shines  almost 
daily  in  a  cloudless  sky.  After  the 
first  snowfall  liige-ing  and  ski-ing 
begin;  and,  at  the  first  hard  frost, 
the  new  rink  is  converted  into  a 
fine  sheet  of  ice  having  an  area  of 
IQQO  sq.  metres  (20,(X)0  sq.  ft.)  and

Situated  on  the  bank^  of  the 
Grande  Eau ,  Aigle  is  a.  beautiful 
spot  with  a  fine  castle.  It  na.^ig^,^ 
during  recent  years,  become  famo  ,, 
as  a  spa.  The  waters  spring  from 
a  rock  near  the  Grand  Hotel. 

The  Grand  Hotel,  situated  above 
the  town  at  an  altitude  of  1,900 
feet,  is  a  modern  structure  connected 
with  the  station  by  electric  tram, 


commands  a  fine  view  uf  the  Rhone 
Valley  and  the  Savoy  Alps. 

Exempt  from  dust  and  remarkable 
for  its  dryness,  the  place  is  a  favour!

mother -lye  from  the  Bevieux  salt 
mines;  so  that,  if  necessary,  the  Aigle 
waters  may  be  strengthened  to  any 
desired  degree.  These  latter  are 
bicarbonate,  alkaline  waters  slightly 
mineralised  and  resembling  those  of 
Evian.  They  are  successfully  used 
for  glandular  complaints,  female  dis- 
orders, anaemia,  kidney-disease,  af- 
fections of  the  liver  and  stomach. 

Nauheim  and  Kissingen  treatment, 
as  well  as  grape  and  milk  cures, 
massage  etc.,  are  also  used. 

This  locality  is  remarkable  for  its 
charming  views,  (especially  from 
Plantour  Hill)  and  its 

EXCUBSIONSt  To  Tillars  and  OlloA, 
favourite  resorts  with  pretty  environs; 
to  various  mountains,  the  principal 
being  Chamossaixe  (6,946  ft)  for  which

Pont  Plambait,  les  Eeorets;  and  by

An  eleotrio  railway  also  gives  access 
to  Iieyfliiiy  where,  650  feet  above  the 
-village,  stands  a  recommended  sana- 
torium.

CHESIERES  s/OIiIiOBT  (ALT.: 
4,010  feet.  — HOT.:  Dn  Cbamossaire)  is  a 
hamlet  situated  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  Bex.  The  terrace  on  which  it  lies  com- 
mands an  unbroken  view  of  the  Rhone 
Valley,  of  the  Savoy  Mts.,  the  Dent  du 
Midi  and  the  lofty  summits  that  give 
birth  to  the  Trient  Qlaoiers  as  well  as 
of  Tour  and  Areentiires  in  the  Hont 
"^lano  grou^.  Though  the  prospect  is 
ess  romantic  than  that  from  Qlion,  it 


is  more  majestic  and  more  restful  to 
tlie  eye.  The  verdant  terraces  in  the 
foreground  slope  gently  towards  the 
plain;  the  escarpment  beyond  is  abrupt, 
but  produces  no  sense  of  giddiness;  one 
can  enjoy  the  mountain  scenery,  its 
grandeur  of  outline,  its  vast  perspective 
and  its  variety  of  tint  and  formation, 
without  becoming  over-wrought  by  its 
ruggedness  and  sublimity. 

The  two  principal  pomts  of  attrac- 
tion in  the  environs  are  Chamosaaire 
and  the  Lake  of  CbaTonnes. 

The  former  is  a  mountain  carpeted  to 
its  summit  by  the  most  beautiful  flowers, 
growing  in  such  profusion  that  one  can 
scarcely  step  without  crushing  a  heart's 
ease,  an  anemone  or  an  orchid. 

The  Lake  of  Chavonnes  is  a  beau- 
tiful circular  sheet  of  water  in  whose 
surface  are  mirrored  the  neighbouring 
greenswards  and  woods-  It  is  from  the 
lovely  tint  thus  imparted  to  the  lake 
that  it  has  derived  its  appellation  of 
**Le  Lae  Tert". 

Half  an  hour  beyond  Chesi^res  lies

walks  and  well-kept  promenades  ot 
the  immediate  vicinity,  the  town  is  a 
favourite  centre  for  more  distant  trips,

a"  wierd  and  beautiful  spot.  Down  the

Snbroate  A:  From  MARTIQNY  via  VERMAYAZ, 
SALVAI,  FINHAUTACHATELARD  to  CHAMONIX. 

This  is  a  fine  tour  among  the  Valais 
Alps.  An  electric  mountain  railway, 
now  in  course  of  construction  will 
probably  be  completed  before  this 
edition  of  the  Guide  appears.  The 
section  Martigny  via  Vernayaz,  Sal  van, 
Finhaut  and  Chatelard ;  and  that  from 
Chamonix  to  Argentieres  are  already 
working.     (See  also  route  63).

way between  Vemayaa  and  Chamonix: 
it  is  rapidly  coming  into  favour,  especi- 
ally among  the  English,  and  commands 
fine  views.  The  Beloiseau  (8,860  feet) 
is  the  chief  attraction. 

Following  the  Trient  upstream,  we 
reach,  in  one  hour, 

CHATEIiARD  (HOTEL:  Suisse  att 
Ch&telard),  beyond  which  lie  the  Bar- 
berine  and  the  villages  of  Valorcine  and 
Argentieres:  here,  too,  is  the  junction 
of  the  post-route  Chamonix,  ChMelard, 
T6te  Noire,  Trient  and  Martigny. 

Subroute  B:  From  MARTIQNY  on  foot  or 

^  voMolo  aorosa  the  QREAT  ST.  BERNHARD 

to  A08TA  (lUiy). 

The  route,  as  far  as  the  village  of 

La  CroiXy  is  the  same  as  that  back  to 

Ohamoniz    (see  Tdta  Noire,   route  68). 

It  follows  the  left  bank  of  the  Drance 

to  Bovemler,  beyond  which  it  crosses 

bridge,  but  soon  returns  to  the  rieht 

ank  and  enters  Sembranehier,  where 

lie  two  streams,  Dranoe  de  Bagne  and 

ranoe  d'Entremont,  converge,  the  former 


the  latter  from  St  Bemhard.  The  road 
turns  sharply  southwards,  crosses  and 
recrosses  the  stream,  and  runs  along 
the  foot  of  HI.  Catoirne  to 

OBSIERES  (ALT.:  2,807  feet  — 
HOT.:  des  Alpes),  in  the  neighbourhood 
of  which  are  the  Yalley  and  Lake  of 
Champexy  as  well  as  Cabanes  d'Ornj 
(8,820  teetX  Mont  BrAle  (8,816  feet)  and 
other  fine  heights. 

At  Orsieres,  the  road  crosses  the 
stream;  and  the  magnificent  snows 
and  glaciers  of  Mont  Velan  soon  burst 
upon  the  view.  A  short  distance  beyond, 
we  pass  through  the  village  of  LID  DES 
(Hotel  dn  Gr.  St.  Bernard),  which  lies 
near  the  foot  of  Merignier.  Three  and 
a  half  miles  brin^  us  to 

BOrRO- ST.  PIERRE  (ALT.:  6,250 
feet.  —  HOT.:  An  Dejeuner  de  KapoUon), 
a  village  of  considerable  size  near 
which  is  Linnsay  a  celebrated  garden 
of  Alpine  flowers:  in  the  vicinity;  there 
are  some  favourite  excursions,  such 
as  np  the  valley  of  the  Valsorey,  with 
its  beautiful  waterfall.  Moreovier,  there 
are  some  fine  peaks  in  the  neighbour- 
hood, the  most  striking  of  which  is 
Grand.CombIn  (U,164  feet). 

Continuing  the  route  up  the  Drance, 
we  reach,  in  another  4  miles, 

liA  CANTINE  DE  PROZ  (ALT.: 
6,918  ft.  —  HOT.  I  Tavern),  from  which 
practised  Alpinists  ascend  Hont  Velan 
(12,106  ft):  this  summit  affords  a  magni- 
ficent and  extensive  view,  including:  not 
only  the  more  immediate  monarchs  of 
the  Alps,  such  as  Mont  Blanc  and  Grand 
Oombin  with  the  Lake  of  Geneva  be- 
yond, but  also  Monte  Rosa,  the  Matter- 
horn  and  the  Valley  of  Aosta. 

At  La  Cantine  commences  the  actual 
ascent  of  the  Great  St.  Bemhard. 
Though  so  celebrated  for  its  pass 
and  hospice  and  in  connection  with 
the  campaigns  at  the  close  of  the 
18th  cent.,  the  pass  itself  is  not 
generally  considered  so  beautiful  as 
many  of  the  others  in  the  district. 
The  hospice  was  built  during  the 
16th  cent.,  —  the  church  some  130 
years  later.  It  contains  various  col- 
lections, and  once  possessed,  in  con- 
nection with  the  convent,  vast  treas- 
ures, the  gifts  of  benevolent  persons 
of  the  middle -ages.  The  morgue 
stands  close  by  the  hospice. 

The  stories  of  the  monks  and  their 
wonderful  dogs  are  too  numerous  and 
well-known  to  need  more  than  a  bare 
reference.  One,  however,  demands  special 
mention,  viz,,  Barry,  the  dog  that  saved 
the  lives  of  40  persons  and  was  killed 


rmxkg  down   from   Chermontanos^  —  I  by  che  hand  of  the  forty-first.

This  village  forms  the  gate  to  the 
Simplon  Pass,  and  possesses  a  fine 
chateau  with  four  towers  and  large 
chambers:  it  was  built  in  the  17th 
cent,  by  Stockalper,  a  merchant  who 
controlled  the  trade  across  the  Pass. 

The  surroundings  of  Brigue  are  very 
fine,  the  point  of  greatest  interest  being 
the  Aletsehhorn.  It  is  IS.TvO  ft.  in  height 
and  thus  the  second  in  the  Bernese  Alps. 
The  Aletsch  Olacier,  which  crowns  the 
summit  and  flows  down  the  sides  and 
ronnd  the  base  in  the  form  of  a  long, 
curved  and  pointed  tongue,  is  the  largest 
in  Switzerland.  At  its  foot,  and  3  nrs. 
from  Brlgue,  stands  the  Hot.-Pens.  Bel- 
Alp  (1st  class). 

Another  fine  height  and  one  afford-

From  BRIGUE,  the  celebrated 
SIMPLON  ROAD,  built  by  Napofeon 
and  now  rendered  suitable  for  automo- 
biles, traverses  the  Simplon  Pass, 
and  connects  the  valley  of  the  Rhone 
with  that  of  Antigoro  (Italy),  where 
the  town  of  Domo  d*Ossola  lies,  its 
station  forming  the  terminus  of  the 
railway  from  Navara.  The  route  is  a 
very  winding  one,  and  after  a  distance 
of  14  km.,  reaches  Berisal,  whence, 
after  an  hour  or  so,  the  ascent  to 
the  Simplon  Pass  commences.  A 
short  distance  beyond  the  pass  is 
the  hospice  (good  accommodation) 
from  which  the  difficult  Monte  Leone 
(11,680  ft.)  may  be  climbed  (fine 
view).  From  the  pass  (6,588  feet), 
the  descent  is  made  to  the  village  of 
Simplon,  lying  among  green  meadows 
&  forming  an  excellent  centre  for

The  road  from  Brigne  up  the  valley 
•f  the  Bhone  crosses 

THB  RHONE  GLACIER  &  THE 
GRIMSEL  to  MEIRINGEN,  (see 
below).  It  leaves  Brigue  in  a  northerly 
direction,  but,  after  a  few  minutes, 
turns  eastwards,  at  Naters,  crosses 
two  mountain  streams,  passes  through 
Morell,  crosses  and  recrosses  the 
Rhone  to  the  village  of  Laax,  and 
enters  a  wild  and  awe-inspiring 
stretch  of  the  Rhone  Valley,  bordered, 
on  either  side,  by  sombre  forests. 
Half  an  hour's  walk  then  brings  us  to 

▼lESCH  (ALT.:  8,614  ft.  —  HOTELS:

this  village,  which  is  picturesquely 
situated  near  the  confluence  of  a 
turbulent  mountain  beck  with  the 
waters  of  the  Rhone,  a  number  of 
magnificent  mountain  ascents  may 
be  undertaken.  Of  these  the  most 
renowned  is  that  of 

EGGISHORN  (HOTELS:  Jnngfraa, 

alt.  7,2^0  ft.;  Hot.  Biedersip,  alt.  6/2H0  ft.;

comfortable),   a  splendid  peak  (9,626 

feet)    that    towers    up    between    the 

Aletsch  and  Viescher   Glaciers.     The 

route  runs  up  the  beck  past  Viescher 

Up  and  Hot.  Jungfrau,  and  traverses, 

or  the  most  part,    fine    stretches    of 

forest  country,  leaving  the    Bettmer- 

horn,  Elslijcke  and  Viescher  Horn  on 

the   left.     At   the   hotel,   the    actual 

limb     commences,     a    zigzag    path 

'inning  up  to  the  sifmmit  and  scarcely 

squiring  a  guide. 

The  view  obtained  from  the  top  is 


very  fine.  At  our  feet  lies  the  beau- 
tiful sweep  of  the  Aleiseh  Glacier, 
with  MarjeUn  Lake  below  it,  stretch- 
ing away  north-eastwards  to  the 
GaUnstock  (11,800  feet).  To  the  E. 
is  BUndenhorn  (11,095  ft.)  North- 
wards are  seen  the  WalliserViescher- 
horn,  its  peaks  varying  in  altitude 
from  12,192  feet  to  12,810  feet  ("Great 
Wannehorn):  beyond  them  rises 
Finsteraarhorn:  and,  a  little  to  the 
left,  where  the  Aleiseh  Glacier  comes 
within  ken ,  the  Jungfrau  loch 
connects  the  wonderful  Jungfrau 
(13,670  ft.)  with  the  Monch  (13,466 
feet)  and  the  Eiger  (13,043  feet). 
The  prominent  peak  from  which  the 
Middle  Glacier  flows  down  to  join  the 
great  one  is  the  Aleischhom  (13,702 
ft.).  Westwards  the  Rothorn  and  NesU

the  glacier,  Mont  Blanc.  Due  south 
Mte,  Leone:  to  the  right,  and  midway 
between  it  and  the  Matierhorn,  rise 
Fleischhorn  and  Monte  Rosa. 


From  Viesch  we  continue  our  way 
up  the  right  bank  of  the  Rhone,  past 
Niederwald,  Biel,  Reckingen,  Miinster, 
Geschenen  and  St.  Ulrichen  to  Ober- 
ge&telen,  where  a  path  turns  off  left- 
wards to  Grimsel  Pass;  but,  following 
the  main  road,  a  walk  of  8/4  hr.  brings 
us  to  Oberwald,  beyond  which  the 
way  winds  through  woods  of  pine 
and  fir  to  the  junction  of  the  Rhone

Bernese  and  Valais  Alps.  The  Rhone

about  IV2  miles  to  the  foot  of  the 
RHONE  GLACIER,  whose  edge 
forms  a  vast  wall  of  ice,  in  which 
there  is  a  beautiful  vault  constituting 
the  cradle  of  the  mighty  Rhone.

Prior  to  the  great  fire  of  1891  — 
which  almost  demolished  the  village 
—  Meiringen  was  a  little,  old-world 
place  consisting  of  quaint  cottages 
round  a  little  Swiss  Church  erected 
in  the  early  pre -Reformation  period. 
The  church  escaped  the  flames; 
and,  together  with  a  few  wooden 
structures  and  the  Austrian  Tower 
that  stands  out  among  the  woods 
to  the  right  of  the  Miihlbach,  it  still 
tells   of   the  middle -age    appearance

woin  by  the  hamlet  until  within  the 
last  few  years. 

At  the  present  time,  it  possests  a 
number  of  fine  hotels  and  boarding- 
houses,  which  give  it  the  character 
of  a  modern  health-resort.  It  is  the 
principal  village  in  the  narrow  and 
fertile  Hasli  Valley,  whose  beauty 
has  won  for  the  spot  the  title  of  the 
**Front  Garden  of  the  BerneseOberland'*. 
Through  this  valley  flows  the  river 
Aare,  flanked  by  wooded  steeps.  To 
the  S.,  the  river  forms  the 

BEICHENBACH  FAIiliS  (Gr.  Hot. 

dos  Alpes,  l>t class,  15  min.  from  station, 
tastefully  furnished  every  comfort;  Hot.- 
Peas.  Belchenbaeh)  one  of  the  most 
celebrated  sights  in  Switzerland.  They 
are  approached  by  a  rope-railway  and 
are  illuminated  in  the  evening  by 
electric  light,  presenting  then  a  most 
fantastic    and    beautiful    appearance. 


Across  the  falls  appear  the  snow- 
carpeted  Wellborn  and  the  Rosenlaui 
Glacier.  Northwards  stands  the  Hasli- 
berg, down  whose  sides  the  cascades 
of  its  three  streams  carry  silt  and 
boulders  to  the  valley  below. 

The  rush  through  a  well-known 
ravine,  named  the  Gorge  of  the  Alp- 
bach,  which,  reached  by  means  of 
steps  and  galleries,  offers  a  picturesque 
peep  of  the  village  below.  The  gorge 
and  falls  are  illuminated  with  electric 
light  every  evening.  In  the  neigh- 
bourhood, there  are  some  smaller 
glens  that  also  repay  a  visit. 

But  the  Gorge  of  the  Aare  is  the 
great  sight  which  has  made  the  cele- 
brity of  Meiringen.  In  the  little  guide 
to  Meiringen  written  by  the  Rev.  T. 
W.  Hor^ley  M.  A.  it  is  thus  described :

in  places  only  eight  feet  apart,  while 
in  others  they  open  out  so  as  to 
frame  views  of  wood  and  mountain 
scenery.  Formerly  only  passable  by 
a  raft  when  the  river  was  very  low, 
wooden  galleries  have  now  been 
erected  on  struts  so  that  the  whole 
of  this  marvellous  ravine  can  be 
traversed.  It  is  impossible  to  get 
photographs  to  do  justice  to  this 
curious  and  beautiful  gorge.*' 

The  chief  industry  of  the  place  is 
wood -carving,  a  trade  which  it  shares 
with  its  neighbour  Brienz.  Among  well- 
known  concerns  is  that  of  Klein  Bros. 
k  Co.y  Manufacturers  and  exporters  of 
Swiss  wood-carving,  from  whom  illu- 
strated catalogues  may  be  obtained. 

EXCURSIONS:  Besides  the  gorges  re- 
ferred to  above,  there  is  the  ascent  of 
Hasliberg,  with  fine  view  of  the  Wetter- 
horn  and  Wellborn,  as  well  as  of  the 
lower  Hasli  Valley.  Beyond  the  moun- 
tain is  the  village  of  Hohflah;  while, 
among  other  delightful  tiips,  there  are 
those  to  Hoheastollen,  to  the  Planplatte, 
the  Giebel  and  the  Seborenalp.

the    Rosenlaui  Glacier.      These   last 
Vwo  form  one  excursion.     The  Gorge, 
'whicli   is  reached  in  about  V4  hr.  by 
a    raad     to    the  left,   has   now  been 
made    accessible   throughout   by   the 
oviriter     of  Rosenlaui  Hotel.     It  has  a 
length     of  some   660   yds.    and    the 
fantastic  cliffs,  between  which  it  ruqs 
—  with   scarcely  room  for  stream  and 
'stage  —  tower  above  the  bed  to  a  height 
of  300  ft.     The  gorge  itself  is  certain- 
ly   one    of  the  finest  in  Switzerland; 
while   its  interest  is  greatly  enhanced 
by     the    beauty    of    the    9    cascades 
formed   at  intervals  by  the  Weissen- 
bach.    This  stream  issues  from   the 
Glacier   to    which    the    ravine    leads 
and  the  sight  of  which  on  coming  out 
into  the  open  is  remarkably  impressive. 
Three  hours  beyond  Kosenlaui  Hotel, 
the  road,  baring  leit  the  Beichenbaoh 
to  the  left,  reaches

BRI£NZ  18  a  iavourite  place  stretch- 
ing —  for  nearly  a  mile  and  a  half 
along  the  north,  eastern  shores  of 
the  lake  of  the  same  name.  It  is 
the  centre  of  the  wood -carving 
industry,  for  which  the  Swiss  are 
so  celebrated,  and  of  which  very 
delicate  specimens  are  to  be  seen 
in  the  shop-windows  at  Meiringen, 
Interlaken  and  other  towns  of  the 
Bernese  Oberland.  Every  tourist 
should  take  the  opportunity  of  seeing 
one  of  the  largest  workshops  of  the 
place,  the  most  important  being  that 
of  Ed.  Binder  &  Cie,,  whose  exten- 
sive show-rooms  and  large  stock 
well  repay  a  visit 

The  principal  attractions  of  the 
place, . however,  are  the  Roihorn  and 
the  Lake. 

The  Rothorn  (7,716  ft.)  is  ascended 
by  a  famous  cog-railway  constructed 
in  1891:  as  it  rises  up  the  sides  of 
the  Giant  of  the  Brienzer  Grai, 
scaling  steep  cliffs  with  a  maximum 
gradient  of  23^,  or  passing  through 
tunnels  and  across  mountain  becks, 
the  glimpses  obtained  of  encircling 
hill  and  dale  are  wonderfully  pictu- 
resque. But  the  scene  which  opens 
out  before  the  beholder  when  the 
summit  is  reached  exceeds  all  ex- 
pectation, and  renders  the  peak  no 
unworthy  rival  of  the  Rigi.  The 
panorama  embraces  the  Bernese, 
Urner  and  Engelberg  Alps,  the 
Lakes     of    Brienz    and    Thun ,    the

Those  staying  at  Brienz  will, 
naturally,  cross  the  lake  to  Inter- 
laken  and  visit  its  fine  valley  and 
the  beautiful  Lake  of  Thun  beyond. 
Though  twins,  the  lakes  differ  essen- 
tially in  character.  That  of  Thun  is 
comparatively  soft  and  lovely;  while 
the  Lake  of  Brienz  displays  the  sterner 
and  more  solemn  side  of  nature. 
The  shores,  dark  and  steep,  entrance 
with  their  stillness  and  sublimity,  lifting 
the  mind  above  the  sordid  thoughts  of 
life  as  they  themselves  rise  higher  and 
higher  towards  the  crowning  peak  of 
the  Brienzer  Rothorn. 

From  the  above,  it  will  be  apparent 
that  the  most  beautiful  view  is  obtained 
on  approaching  Brienz  by  steamer.  On 
the  outward  journey,  the  first  station 
called  at  is 

GIESSBACH,  whence  a  rope-rail- 
way leads  up  to  Hot.  Giessbach  (one 
of  the  most  celebrated  in  Switzerland) 
and  the  far-famed  Giessbach  Falls, 


which,  spanned  by  two  bridges,  leap, 
in  three  principal  cascades,  from  the 
top  of  the  pine -clad  hill  to  the  lake 
below,  thus  forming  one  of  the 
most  glorious  spectacles  -in  a  country 
teeming  with  natural  beauties.

ceives its  name  from  its  peculiar 
position  on  a  strip  of  flat  land  be- 
tween two  of  Switzerland's  most  cele- 
brated lakes.  Shut-in  by  well-wooded 
heights,  the  town  lies  in  a  short 
but  charming  valley,  called  Bodeli, 
through  which  flow  the  blue  waters 
of  the  Aare  connecting  the  Lake  of 
Brienz  with  that  of  Thun.  Its  central 
position    has    made  it  the  metropolis 

f  travellers    and    lovers    of  nature. 

ks  its  inhabitants  justly  boast,  **What 
Paris  is  among  great  cities,  what 
^ome  is  to  the  world  of  art«  Interlaken 
s  among  tourist  centres.*'    Sightseers 


from  all  countries  end  climes  meet 
here  to  rest  and  recount  their  ad- 
ventures after  health  -  giving ,  but 
tiring  excursions  and  tramps  among 
the  finest  mountain  ranges  of  Europe. 
The  principal  rendezvous  in  the 
resort  is  the  Hoheweg  with  its 
avenues  of  walnut-trees,  its  fine 
holds  and  elegant  shops  and  ware* 
houses.  From  here  is  obtained  one 
of  the  flnest  views  that  Interlaken 
affords.  Around  us  lies  the  pic- 
turesque lowland,  washed  by  the 
crystal  waters  of  the  stream;  above 
us  rise  the  tree-clad  hills,  between 
which  the  eye  follows  the  course 
of  the  Liitschine  up  the  Vale  of 
Lauterbrunnen :  beyond,  the  beautiful 
Jungfrau ,  Queen  of  the  Alps, 
bhimmers  and  glows  in  the  glorious 
flood  of  light  poured  upon  it  by  the 
setting  sun.

But  apart  from  the  nattiral  beauty 
of  the  surroundings,  the  Hoheweg 
possesses  many  other  attractions.  At 
its  upper  end  is  the  ancient  convent, 
founded  in  1130  andj  together  with 
the  adjoining  castle,  now  used  for 
public  purposes;  while  in  the  midLlle 
of  the  street  stands  the  Kurs^al*  weKI- 
supplied  with  magazines  and  news- 
papers, and  forming  the  gathering-place 
of  thousands  of  guests  who  flock  hither 
to  listen   to  the  powerful   orchestra. 

A  prolongation  of  the  Hdheweg 
leads  past  East-Interlaken  Station  and 
the  landing-stage  of  the  Brienzer 
steamers  to  Bonigen  (see  above). 

In  1904  a  remarkable  cave  was,  by 
blasting,   rendered    accessible.     It  is 


the  allready  wdl-known  Bcatus  Hohle 
(l?eslfturant  du  Lac),  containing  beau- 
tiful grottoes  and  several  stalagmites. 
The  explored  length  is  750  metres^  but 
it  is  probable  that  the  cave  is  connected 
with  the  Seefeld-Hohle  higher  up  the 
Beatenberg  on  which  it  is  situated. 
At  one  end  of  the  town  lies  the 
exquisitely    quaint   village    of 

UNTERSEEN  (HOTELS:  Bean  Site; 

Elger  &  other  good  seoond-clasa  hotisea), 
whose  church  tower,  grey  with  age, 
and  ancient  houses  bordering  the

WILDERSWIL  is  a  delightfully 
idyllic  resort  in  immediate  proximity 
to  the  world-famous  town  of  Inter- 
laken.  It  is  exceptionally  suitable  for 
persons  needing  rest  and  tranquillityi 
and  has  unquestionably  a  great  future 
before  it.  The  opportunities  for  moun- 
tain-climbing are  very  great ;  and  there 
are  also  delightful  walks  and  excur- 
sions, such  as  to  the  historic  ruins 
at  Unspunnen,  to  Rugen  Park  &c. 

Wilderswil   is   the  lower  terminus 

the  famous  cog-railways  running 

^~  Wengernalp,  the  Jungfrau  and 

ynl^e  Platte  (ALT.:  6,668  feet. 

...  Sebynlge  Platte),  the  trip  afford- 

many  fine  views.     After  passing 

>ugh    a   tunnel    which   carries  us 

er  the  Height  of  the  Grates,  we 

lenly   find   ourselves    on    the    S. 

of    the    mountain,    where    the 


view  obtained  is  most  impressive 
and  beautiful.  Before  us  tower  the 
Jungfrau,  the  Mdncb  and  the  Eiger, 
a  never-to-be-forgotten  sight  of 
gtorius  and  overwhelming  character. 
Near  these  mountains  and  in  the  same 
range  stand  out  the  MHiaghorn, 
Brcithorn  and  Grosshorn,  Only  a 
glimpse  of  the  Lauterbrunnen  Valley, 
with  the  Staubbacby  and  we  arrive 
at  the  summit  of 

SCHYNIGE  PLATTE,  a  fine  moun- 
tain (6,568  ifeet),  commanding  a 
beautiful  outlook  on-to  the  Alps,  the 
valleys  and  the  lakes.  The  panorama 
changes  here:  before  us  appear 
Grindelwald  Valley,  the  Schreck- 
horn  and  the  Weiierhorn,  with,  east- 
wards, the  rugged  Faulhorn,  whose 
ascent  is  easily  accomplished  fcom  here. 

At  Zweilutschincn,  the  railway 
branches,  one  line  going  to  Lauter- 
brunnen (see  below),  the  other 
proceeding  to  Grindelwald. 

The  former  line  swerves  to  the 
right,  crosses  the  Weisse  Liitschine, 
and  follows  tl\e  left  bank  of  the 
stream.  After  passing  a  number  of 
cascades,  the  cliffs  open  out,  and 
Staubbach  Waterfall  appears  before 
us,  like  a  veil  blown  to  and  fro  by 
the  wind:  a  short  distance  beyond 
it,  the  train  enters

LAUTERBRUNNEN  is  a  straggling 
village  situated  in  a  deep  gully,  be- 
tween whose  lime-stone  cliffs  rushes 
the  Liitschine. 

The  village,  with  its  magnificent 
views,  is  a  very  favourite  stopping- 
place  en  route  to  health-resorts  of 
a  still  higher  altitude.  Within  5  min., 
Staubbach  Fall  leaps,  in  soft  and 
graceful  cascades,  from  a  height  of 
985  feet;  though,  before  it  can  reach 
the  entranced  beholder,  it  is  scattered 
in  spray  by  the  mountain  breeze. 

More  distant  is  the  route  alongside 
the  right  bank  of  the  Liitschine  to

MORREN  is  a  village  which, 
during  ^  recent  years,  has  made 
enormous  strides.  Whereas,  in  1857, 
it  had  not  even  an  inn,  it  can  now 
boast  of  a  number  of  tine  hotels, 
lighted  with  electricity  and  fitted 
with  every  comfort:  it  possesses  a 
"Kurhaus'*;  and  the  existence  of  an 
English  Church  shows  how  favourite 
a  spot  Murren  is  of  Anglo-Saxons. 
The  promenades  that  run  westwards 
beyond  Hotel  des  Alpes  to  the 
needle -woods  of  Allmendhubel  are 
furnished  with  numerous  and  com- 
fortable seats. 

The  great  attraction  of  the  place 
is  its  magnificent  scenery.  Looming 
in  sombre  majesty  before  the  be- 
holder is  the  Schwarze  hdonch,  be- 
hind whose  black  cowl  appears  the 
glowing  Silberhorn  and    the  bright- 


capt  Jungfrau,  —  to  the  left,  the 
M^ch,  the  Eiger  and  Wengernalp,

all  in  the  back -ground;  while  just 
across  the  valley  stand  out  Tschingcl^

Favourite  ascents  from  MOrren 
are  Allmendhubel  (6,355  feet),  which 
requires  but  ^/^  of  an  hour;  SchilU

appear  the  Lauterbrunnen  Valley  and 
theStaubbach;  while  numerous  Alpine 
peaks  of  a  grand  character  come 
into  view,  the  most  striking  of  them 
being  the  Jungfrau  with  the  Silber- 
horn  and  Schneehorn,  the  Schwarze 
Monch,  Grosshorn,  Mittaghorn,  Breit- 
hom,  Tschingelhorn ,  Tschingelgrat , 
Gspaltenhorn  &c.,  —  all  with  glaciers. 

Wengen  is  a  rapidly  developing 
village,  possessing  about  20  hotels, 
and  situated  in  a  magnificent  and 
well  -  sheltered  spot.  Its  climate  is 
delightful,  mild  and  sunny,  and 
renders  it  very  suitable  as  a  place 
of  prolonged  residence  during  the 
spring,  summer  and  autumn. 

The  favourite  excursions  are:—  to 
Mftnnlichen,  Lanberhorn,  Honnenflah, 
Mettenalp,  Wengemalp,  Sp&tenalp, 
Qiirmschbflhl  &o. 

Some  distance  beyond  Wengen,  the

HOT.  I  Jangfrav),  celebrated  for  the 
splendid  view    of  the  Trumletenthal,

at  from  Murren,   but  the  nearness 


of  the  mountain  peaks  rendering  the

This  resort  is  in  even  closer 
proximity  to  the  giant  Alps  than  the 
previous  station  and  commands  a  more 
beautiful  panorama  than  the  Jungfrau 
itself.  Here,  across  green  meadows, 
which  afTord  pasture  to  the  mountain 
cattle,  rise  the  Eiger,  Monch  and 
Jungfrau,  with  their  dazzling  snow- 
fields  and  glaciers,  and  their  terrible 
avalanches  thundering  into  the  valleys 
and  fissures  below. 

Both  Wengernalp  and  Scheidegg, 
being  situated  in  the  midst  of  the 
glaciers,  are  especially  head^quarters 
for  tourists ;  but  many  families  choose 
the  excellently  managed  hotels  here 
for  a  prolonged  sojourn.  The  ascents

tttfe  SVSMnkt.  This  beautiful 
and  famous  mountain  is  now,  to 
within  a  short  distance  of  its  summit, 
accessible  by  means  of  the  Jungfrau 
Bahn.  The  inception  and  design  of 
this  carefully  planned  railway  is  due 
to  Guyer-Zeller.  It  has  a  gauge  of 
1  metre;  the  radius  of  the  smallest 
curve  is  100  metres,  the  speed  of 
the  trains  from  7—10  km.  per  hour, 
and  the  steepest  gradient  25^/0. 

For  practical  and  aesthetic  reasons, 
the  railway  is  bored  through  the 
mountain  almost  the  whole  way.  It 
starts  from  Scheidegg,  runs  for  2  km. 
to  Eigergletscker  (8,621  ft.)  —  Rest.) 
with  beautiful  grotto;  thence,  for  a 
short  distance,  it  skirts  the  cliff  and 
enters  the  tunnel  to  Rotstock  (8,299 
feet).  The  next  station  is  Eigerwand 
(9,406  feet.  —  Rest),  blasted  in  the 
side  of  the  mountain  in  such  a  way 
as  to  form  pillars  (3—6  metres  dia.) 
of  native  rock  for  the  support  of  the 
structure.  The  view  is  exceedingly  fine; 
and,  by  the  help  of  a  Zeiss  telescope 
provided  for  passengers,  it  is  possible 
to  discern  clearly  people  on  the  Rigi, 
Pilatus,  Stanserhorn  ftc.  An  electric 
search-light  (98  million  candles)  illu- 
minates the  country  at  night.  The 
next  station,  similarly  constructed,  is 
Eismecr  (10,378  ft.  —  Rest.),  at  present 
the  terminus  of  the  raiL  It  is  finely 
situated,  commands  a  magnificent 
view,  and  forms  an  excellent  centre 
for  climbing  the  Jungfrau  summit, 
the  Eiger,  the  M5nch,  Concordiahiitte, 
Aletschgletscher  &c. 

Beyond  Scheidegg,  the  Wengernalp 
Railway  enters  the  Grind  el  wald  Valley 
overlooked  by  the  Wetterhorn,  and 
c  inues  its  course  down  steep 
£  es,  strewn  with  Alpine  roses  to 
(  delwald,  where  it  meets  the 
c  ;t  line  from  Zweiliilschinen  up

GRINDELWALD  is  a  celebrated 
winter  and  summer  resort  of  the 
first  order,  which,  having  been  rebuilt 
in  fine  style  after  the  fire  of  1892, 
is  an  excellent  centre  both  for  health- 
seekers  and  for  tourists. 

It  is  charmingly  situated  in  a 
sheltered  spot,  and  possesses  a  most 
equable  climate.  The  grand  heights 
of  the  Eiger,  the  Schreckhorn  and 
the  Wetterhorn,  with  their  various 
peaks,  shut  it  in  to  the  S.  From  be- 
tween them  two  glaciers  move  down, 
like  mighty  torrents,  to  the  luxuriant 
pastures  below. 

The  larger  of  these  glaciers  with 
the  beautiful  blue  grotto  in  the  ice, 
is  the  great  sight  of  Grindelwald. 
The  surroundings  offer  numerous

ft.)  Eiirer  (18,018  ft) ;  all  are  ^ 
even  with  flcsk-olass  guides. 


Besides  these  ascents,  there  are  the 
interesting  passes  of  the  Jungfrau^ 
joch  (11,384  fL),  the  Mduchjoch  &c. 
to  Eggishorn,  and  that  of  Fiusier- 
aarjoch  via  Sirahlegg  to  Grimsel 
Hospice  (see  route  69). 

One  fine  ascent,  however,  requires 
no  guide,  namely,  ttie 

FAULHOBH  (8,803  ft),  a  grand  height 
consisting  of  shattered  lime  -  stone, 
and  commanding  a  splendid  view. 

At  our  feet,  to  the  N.,  lies  the 
Lake  of  Brienz;  while,  in  the  op- 
posite direction,  appears  the  chain  of 
the  Bernese  Alps,  in  the  middle  of  which, 
and  due  S.,  rises  the  Jungfrau:  a 
trifle  nearer  is  the  Monch,  half  hidden 
by  the  Eiger,  and  with  the  AUisekhorn 
just  peeping  above  its  shoulder:  south- 
westwards  are  Breithorn,  Bliimlisalp, 
Doldenhom,  Schilthom  ftc;  while,  to 
the  S.  £.  stand  up  the  needle-points  of 
the  Viescherhorner,  Finsteraarhorn  and 
Schreckhorn,  —  all  of  them  behind 
Simelikoru;  beyond  is  the  pyramidal 
form    of    the    WdUrhorn,    flanked 


661 


by  BergUstoch,  Welthoirn  and  other 
heights. 

The  descent  from  Faulhorn  may  be 
made  to  Schynige  Platte  (see  above), 
or,  via  Bussalp,  back  to  Grinddwald. 

Another  favourite  trip  from  Grjndel- 
wald  is  via  Grosse  Sc  he  id  egg  to 
Rosenlaui,  and  thence  past  Reich enbach 
Falls  to  Meiringen  ($ee  route  69). 

The  direct  line  of  rail  from  Grindel- 
wald  runs  down  to  ZweiiuhchineH'; 
where  it  joins  theLauterbrunnen  line 
and  proceeds  to 

INTEBLAKEN  (see  above),  whence 
boat  may  be  taken  to  Brienz,  or^ 
down  the  canal  cut  at  great  e^pen^ie 
through  the  silt-land  of  B5deU  Valley^ 
to  the  Lakt  oflhun.  Here,  having 
called  at  the  little  stations  of  Bdr- 
ligen,  Bodeli  and  Leissigtft  (al! 
with    small,    but    good,    hotels},    the

place.  Belov/  us  flashes  the  surface 
of  the  lake;  across  its  waters  rise 
the  heights  of  Aeschli-AUmend,  the 
Lenker  Weisshorn  and  Wildhorn, 
between  which  lie  the  Valleys  of 
Frutigen  and  the  Engstligen;  while, 
in  the  back -ground,  appear  the 
snow -clad  summits  of  the  Wild- 
strubel  and  the  Titlis,  enclosing  be- 
tween them  the  magnificent  group 
of  the  Jungfrau. 

Beatenberg  is  an  Alpine  health- 
resort  of  the  first  order.  Its  situ- 
ation is  very  sheltered;  its  climate 
is  mild,  and  the  views  of  the  sur- 
rounding country,  magnificent.  The 
place  possesses  hotels  capable  of 
accommodating  1,500  guests,  and  has 
German,  English  and  Roman  Catholic 
churches. 

The  walks  and  ezoursions  are  ex- 
ceedingly varied  and  beautiful,  and  the 


means  of  communication  easy  and  rapid. 
One  can  descend  to  the  borders  of  the 
lake  in  a  few  minutes,  and  thence  by 
boat  to  all  the  various  stations,   suoh 
as  Thun,  Spiez  and  Interlaken,   where 
connection  is  obtained  with  the  various 
places  on  the  Lake  of  Brienz.  The  finest- 
trips   are  to   Forsass  and  Nlpderhoral 
to  Beatnshohle  (8/4  hour);  to  Kanzll  (LV2 
hrs.);  to  Amlsb&hl,  a  most  lovely  spot 
about  25  minutes  distant  from  the  hotels. 
The  finest  mountain  ascent  is  that  of 
eemmenalphom  (6,780  feet),  the  highest 
point  in  the  Gtiggigrat,  the  route  lying 
direct  throueh  Bischenenthftli  (2V2  hrs.): 
the  view  emoraces  the  Jura,  the  Valley 
of  the  Aare,   Berne,  Justisthal,  Stock- 
hornkette  and  Pilatus:  two  other  pei 
of  the  same  range  which  well  repaj 
climb   are    Niederhom    and    Burgfe 
stand  —  all  three  summits  being  so  ci 
nected   that  they  may  be  visited   0 
after  the  other  without  any  interveni 
descent. 

From  Beatenbucht,  the  steamer  can 
round  to  MERIilGEN   (HOT.:  Beat' 
Lowe);  at  the  opening  of  Justia  Val 
and  then   crosses   in    a  slanting   1'

—  mostly  short,  easy  and  attractive; 
while  the  longer  excursions  may  be 
said  to  cover  the  chief  part  of  the 
picturesque  Canton  of  Berne. 

The  climate  is  equable,  temperate  and 
bracing,  and  is  specially  suitable  for  the 
nervous  or  debilitated.  The  drinking- 
water  is  fresh  and  sparkling.  Of  the 
waters  it  will  suffice  to  say,  here,  that 
'^hey  are  chalybeate,  and  resemble  in 
their  effects,  those  of  Gontrexdville,

KANDERSTEG,  situated  on  the 
inost  elevated  ridge  of  the  beautiful 
and  fertile  Kander  Valley  is  reached  by 
carriage  from  Frutigen  along  a  good 
road  running  through  romantic  and 
interesting  country. 

It  is  an  idyllic  mountain-village  lying 
in  a  broad  and  level  part  of  the  valley, 
surrounded  by  gigantic  rocky  moun- 
tains between  whose  dizzy  heights,  the 
eye  catches  glimpses  of  the  mysterious 
glacier-wotld,  with  brilliant  pinnacles 
standing  out  in  sharp  relief  against 
the  deep  blue  sky. 

The  evening  prospects  are  extremely 
lovely.  As  the  sun  sinks,  the  restful 
valley  becomes  shrouded  in  shadow; 
and,  suddenly,  as  if  by  magici  the 
Friind  and  the  Doldenhorner  flash 
up  in  flaming  red,  —  this  dazzling 
brightness  gradually  deepening  into 
pale  roseate  hues,  and  then  fading 
away  into  the  night. 

The  Tillage  itgelf  lies  level,  and,  with 
its  snrroanding  woods  and  flowery 
meadowi^  is  well -suited  for  elderly 
and  delicate  people.  But  the  oha- 
raoter  of  the  more  outlying  environs 
attracts  numerous  tourists  and  alpinists 
throughout  the  year.    In  summer  the 


number  of  exonrslo&s  and  climbs  la  in- 
exhaastible;  while,  in  winter,  there  is 
a  large  icerink  (100,000  sq.  fk)  as  weU 
as  fine  ski-ing  on  such  heights  as  the 
WUdstrubel  (10,670  ft).  Indeed,  Kander-

the  sport-loving  world.

THUN,  a  quaint  old  town  situated 
on  the  lake  of  the  same  name,  is  the 
entrance-gate  to  the  Bernese  Ober- 
land.  It  is  a  small  place,  clustering 
round  Castle  Hill,  on  which  stand 
an  old  castle  and  a  church,  whence 
a  very  fine  and  picturesque  view  is 
obtained.  The  spot,  which  attracts 
many  tourists,   may  be   reached   by 


various  routes,  the  best  being  the 
steps  that  lead  up  from  Rathaus  PI., 
or  those  from  the  southeast  of  the 
town.  In  the  tower  of  the  castle, 
there    is  a  small   historical   museum. 

Thun  is  one  of  Switzerland's  most 
charming  spots.  The  panorama  of 
the  lake  has  been  well  compared 
to  that  around  Naples  or  Constanti- 
nople; and  the  sunrise  and  sunset 
reflected  in  its  sombre  waters  fprm 
a  picture  which  can  never  be  for- 
gotten. 

Moreover,  the  beauty  of  the  place 
is  combined  with  healkh  -  giving 
qualities.  The  environs,  wMi  their 
magnificent  woods  of  fir  and  beech, 
are  not  only  attractive  to  pleasure- 
seekers,  but  have  a  most  salutaifr 
effect  upon  the  nervous  system. 
The  equability  of  the  temperature, 
too,  is  exceedingly  beneficial  in 
this  connection,  the  proximity  of 
the  lake  and  the  river  Aare 
preventing  the  heat  from  becoming 
oppressive;  so  that  Thun  is  pleasant 
and  agreeable  even  in  the  height 
of  Summer. 

From  almost  all  points  of  the 
town,  the  prospect  is  open  and  beau- 
tiful, the  view  southeastwards  to 
the  Bltimlisalp  and  the  Doldenhorn 
being  exceptionally  fine:  among 
other  splendid  peaks  that  deserve 
mention  are  the  Eiger,  the  Monch 
and  the  Jungfrau. 

The  place  is  completely  sheltered 
to  the  N.  by  Griisisherg,  a  thickly 
wooded  height,  up  which  several 
ways  lead.  The  summit  (3,050  feet) 
is  reached  by  the  road  past  "An  der 
Lauenen'*,  whence  a  path  runs  up 
the  Katzbach  to  Holzflah  and  Bruch- 
boden.  The  return  may  be  made  across 
the   ridge   of  the    hHl  {Rappenfluh,

2,910  it  with  flne  view)  to  Kobkren, 
turning  then  to  the  right,  past  Ober 
Wartboden  and  Vogilsanj^flah, 

Another  fine  trip  is  along  the  side 
of  Griisisbergi  as  mentioned  above, 
to  Holzfluh,  and,  thence,  across 
Brandisherg  (2,400  feet)  —  where 
a  splendid  prospect  is  obtained  — 
back  to  the  town.  Or,  through  the 
Kohleren,  and  past  Huheli  io  Goldi- 
wyl  (3,323  feet);  beyond  which  rise 
the  fine  points  of  Gihclegg  (3,374 
feet)y  HtUigcnschwendi  (3,323  feet) 
and  Hali£n^gg  (3,280  feet),  the  last 
affording  fine  views  of  the  lake  and 
the  Alps.     More  distant

Doldenhorn  ;  by  post  -  coach  to  the 
village  of  SUfJisburg  and  thence,  to 
the  little  watering-place  called  Schniit* 
weyer.  But  perhaps  the  greatest 
charm  in  the  neighbourhood  ofThun 
is  the  beautifal 

LAKE  OF  THVN,  with  its  splendid 
girdle  of  wooded  heights,  at  whose 
feet  lie  numerous  celebrated  spots

BERNE,  from  1848  the  capital  of 
the  Swiss  federation,  lies  in  a  sharp 
bend   of  the  Aare.    It  was  founded 


by    Berchtoldj    Duke    of    Zahringen, 
in  1191,  and  has  bad  an  exceedingly 
checkered   history,  which  renders  the 
place   very  interesting,   and    h&s  left 
a    certain    stamp    upon     its     streets 
and   buildings-     Mo^t  of  the  streets, 
for   instance  t   Are    lined    with   colon- 
nades   that    present  a  most    striking 
aspect.     Moreover,   the   greater   part 
of  the  town  is  built  on  the  hei, 
above  the  Aare:  especially  elevate 
the  district  called   the  Bundeshau 
from    which    a    lift    runs    down 
Marzili,    a   low- lying    spot    on 
barks  of  the  river. 

The  most  prominent  edifices  are  ' 
following  namely: — 

The   Church  of  the  Holy  G' 


an  elegant  Rococo  edifice  to  the  left 
of  the  railway  station,  the  building 
on  the  right  hand  being  the  Citizens* 
Hospital,  Through  CristofTel  Gasse 
past  the  Federal  Bank  and  the 
PeopWs  Bank,  and  turning  to  the 
left  into  Bundes  -  Gasse,  we  visit 
Berner  Hof  and  the  Federal  Palace. 
The  latter  is  a  Renaissance  structure 
presented  by  the  town  to  the  Fede- 
ration: it  contains,  in  the  centre, 
the  sessions  hall  of  the  Federal 
Council  and,  in  the  eastern  and 
western  wings,  those  of  the  State 
Council  and  the  National  Council, 
respectively.  On  the  upper  floors, 
there  are  the  Federal  Library  and  a 
large  Museum,  the  latter  containing 
relics  from  the  lake  dwellings.  In 
front  of  the  buildings,  there  is  a 
monumental  fountain  surmounted  by 
I  a  fine  statue  of  Berna.  Close  by  is 
[  the  GesellschaftS'Haus,  with  a  hand- 
some Concert  Hall  and  fine  suite  of 
rooms.  The  exterior  is  embellished 
with  statues  of  celebrated  citizens  of 
Berne.  The  building  almost  oppo- 
site is  the  House  of  Parliament, 
a  new  and  beautiful  structure,  at- 
tached to  which,  on  either  side,  are 
the  premises  of  the  Bundesrat,  the 
whole  forming  a  fine  triple  building 
called  the  Bundespalast.  Some  dis- 
\  tance  beyond  and  at  the  corner  of 
Insel  Gasse,  is  the  Federal  Mint  ; 
while  a  short  distance  further  is 
I  situated    the    Kirchenfeld    Briicke,    a 

I  bold  iron  structure  completed  in  1883 

and  consisting  of  two  elegant  arches 
each   with   a  span   ol    290  feet.     At 
the  head   of  the  bridge  is  the   Uni- 
versity, adjoining  which  are  a  Roman 
Catholic    Chapel,    the    City    Police 
^^nces  and  the  Tonm  Library.    The 
u    contains    some  86,(XK)   volumes 
an  interesting  collection   of  por- 
3,  including  those  of  all  the  town 
ors  for  the  past  300  years.     At 
further   end  of  the  bridge  rises 
Historical  Museum,   possessing 
insive    archaeological    and    ethno- 
"^ical   collections:  the  square  in 


front  is  embellished  with  two  bears 
carved  in  granite;  formerly,  they 
stood  at  one  of  the  town  gates. 

Returning  across  the  bridge  and 
passing  through  Herren  Gasse,  we 
reach  the  celebrated 

Minster,  a  beautiful  late  -  Gothic 
structure  begun  in  1421.  It  pos- 
sesses a  magnificent  portal  of  the 
15^h  cent,  and  a  spire  with  fretted 
lantern,  the  latter  having  been  com- 
pleted within  recent  years.  The 
interior  contains  some  fine  1 5th  cent, 
stained  -  glass,  some  beautiful  choir- 
seats  of  a  slightly  later  date,  and 
a  remarkably  flne  organ.  In  front 
of  the  building  is  the  Moses  Foun- 
tain; while,  on  the  southern  side 
of  the  square,  the  Offices  of  the 
Cantonal  Authorities  are  situated. 
The  southern  side  of  the  Minster  is 
flanked  by  the  so  -  called  Plattjorntj 
once  the  cemetery,  but  now  con- 
verted into  a  lofty  and  imposing 
terrace  that  overlooks  the  river  fro'm 
a  height  of  112  feet. 

Close  by,  in  Junkern  Gasse,  there 
is  a  handsome  palace  in  Rococo 
style  and  called  Erlacherhof,  now 
the  seat  of  the  municipal  authorities. 
Continuing  down  the  street,  and 
through  Nydeck  Gasse,  we  view 
the  Nydeck  Briicke,  whose  middle 
span  of  50  metres  is  said  to  be 
the  largest  stone  arch  in  the  world. 
Close  to  the  head  of  the  bridge 
stands  Nydeck  Church,  a  15th  cent, 
structure  built  on  the  foundations 
of  an  imperial  castle.  Beyond  the 
bridge  is  the  interesting  Bear  Pit, 
forming  a  great  attraction  to  young 
and  old. 

Recrossing  the  bridge  and  passing 
down  Post  Gasse,  we  reach  the 
State  Chancery.  Attached  to  ii  is 
the  beautiful  old  Rathaus,  erected 
immediately  after  the  great  fire  of 
1405,  and  embellished  with  Gothic 
ornaments  and  a  monumental  frieze: 
it  possesses  a  handsome  double 
stair-case,  and  contains  the  sessions 
rooms    of  various  councils:    m    the 


^ 


faftiement  ir«  deposited  tbe  stale 
archives;  while,  adjoining  the  buiLd- 
Jngf  there  19  a  Hne  Church  of  the 
Old  Cathoiics^ 

Passing  south  wardsi  we  turn  down 
Kramm  Gms^,  past  the  Samson 
Founimn  and  the  Zdhrin^ett  Fouh' 
lain  (1642),  to  the  Clock  Tower, 
with  its  ingenious  constmction  re- 
presenting^ in  Rutomatic  figures,  the 
four  ages  of  man  and  the  four 
seasons  of  the  year»  Hard  by  is  the 
theatre;  while  in  Kessel  St,  beyond 
the  library,  there  «re  a  niimber  of 
quaint  and  interesting  old  houses. 

Between  the  Clock  Tower  and 
Kornhaus  Erueke  (completed  li97 
-^  height  135  ft.^  length  1,220  fl- 
afch-span  380  ft)  stands  the  Town 
Granary,  near  which  is  the  French 
Church.  Beyond  the  last,  in  Schutt* 
weg,  are  the  Museum  of  Ari  and  the 
Natural  History  Afuseum,  both  con- 
taining interesting  collections,  and  the 
former  being  e specialty  worth  visiling 
on  account  of  its  specimens  of  Swiss 
painting.  In  the  neighbourhood  will 
be  found  a  number  of  municipal  in- 
stitutions which  complete  the  list  of 
sights  in  the  town  itself. 

On  the  outskirts  of  Berne,  however, 
there  are  three  celebrated  point!?  of 
view.  They  are  the  Kleine  Schanzt; 
hard  by,  the  cemetery;  Ihc  Gtosse 
Schanze,  on  the  further  side  of  the 
railway-line  from  the  station;  and, 
finally,  the  much  frequented 

SCHANZLl,  from  whose  planta- 
tions and  terrace,  a  most  beautiful 
view  of  Berne  and  the  environs  is 
obtained. 

BXCUB8I0NS:  The  immediate  neigh- 
bourhood of  Berne  offers  opportunity 
for  delightful  excursions  and  pionios, 
the  favourite  trip  being  through  Bnge

firom  the  Bnge,  one  obtains  some  fine 
views  of  the  Alps,  with  oharming 
glimpses  of  the  nver.  Another  much 
liked  trip  is  to  Ottenleuebad. 

An  electric  tramway  connects  Berne 
with  Wahern,  whence  another  line 
runs  on  to

GURNIGBL  is  a  spa  of  considerable 
renown  siluateJ  on  Iha  northern 
slopes  of  the  mountain  of  hke

ficent fir -woods,  through  which  well- 
kept  roads  and  paths  run  in  various 
directions  so  a&  to  constitute  a  line 
park.  The  view  obtained  from  the

THE  ST.  GOTHARD  RAILWAY. 


This  wonderful  work,  begun  in  1872 
and  completed  in  1882,  is  one  of  the 
grandest  engineering  feats  of  the  \9^^ 
cent.  The  construction,  including  its 
76  tunnels,  skilfully  cut  through  solid 
rock,  is  172  miles  in  length.  In  its 
course,  it  crosses  324  bridges  of  more 
than  30  ft.  span;  while,  thanks  to  the 
many  improvements  which  have  been 
made,  the  line  is  one  of  the  main  ar- 
teries of  Continental  traffic,  and  is  fully 
equal  to  meeting  the  great  demands 
made  upon  it.  Although^  the  cost  of 
construction  was  no  less  than  290 
million  francs,  the  railway  is  an  ex- 
cellent investment,  paying  good  divi- 
dends. The  engines  employed  are  re- 
markable for  their  power  and  speed: 
the  luxurious  cars  are  arranged  so  as 
to  afford  the  traveller  an  uninterrupted 
view  of  the  magnificent  landscapes 
through  which  the  line  passes;  while, 
all  anx'ety  as  to  safety  being  allayed  by 
the  excellent  brakes  and  other  appli- 
ances in  use,  he  is  free  to  enjoy  the 
beauties  of  nature  to  the  full. 

From  Lucerne  to  Milan  the  following 
trains  are  run  daily:  five  express  and 
direct  day  trains,  two  of  which  have 
parlour  and  dining-room  cars  attached ; 
and,  lastly,  a  direct  night  train  with 
sleeping-cars.  In  the  opposite  direction 
there  are:  five  express  and  direct  day 
trains,  three  of  which  have  parlour 
and  dining-room  cars,  and  also  a 
direct  night  train  with  sleeping-cars. 
There  is  a  choice  of  routes:  one  may 
traverse  the  lake  as  far  as  Fluelen, 
or  may  take  the  line    from  Lucerne 


to  Immensee  via  Meggen  and  Kiiss- 
nacht.  When  one  chooses  the  former 
route,  an'  opportunity  is  obtained 
of  seeing  the  shores  of  the  Lake  of 
Lucerne,  Tell's  Chapel  &c. 

After  leaving  Immensee,  the  train 
skirts  the  Lake  of  Zug  and  stops 
at  Art-Goldau  Junction,  whence  a 
branch  line,  opened  in  1897,  runs  to 
Zug  and  connects  the  St.  Gothard 
system  with  Zurich.  Some  distance 
beyond  this  Junction,  the  line  touches 
Schwyz  and  Brunnen,  and  follows 
once  more  the  borders  of  the  Lake 
of  Lucerne  to  Fliielen.  This  is  the 
last  steamboat -station  on  the  Lake, 
and,  from  this  point,  the  route  has 
been  graphically  described  by  the  late 
Mr.  George  Catlin  in  the  following 
glowing  passage: — 

From  Fluelen  on,  the  railway 
follows  the  valley  of  the  Reuss,  here 
a  small  stream,  as  compared  with 
the  deep,  rapid  river  which  it  be- 
comes when,  emerging  from  the  Lake 
of  Lucerne,  it  flows  onward  to  swell 
the  Rhine.  Altdorf,  a  typical  Swiss 
town  and,  as  its  name  indicates,  an 
ancient  one,  is  the  spot  where  tra- 
dition places  the  famous  apple  scene 
between  Tell  and  Gessler.  There  is 
also  a  Capuchin  convent  here. 

From  this  point  onwards,  the  view 
becomes  constantly  wilder,  and  more 
picturesque,  indicating,  if  nothing  else 
did,  the  fact  that  we  are  approacii- 
ing  the  St.  Gothard's  fastnesses.  The 
mountains  loom  up  more  and  more 
menacingly  as   we    near    them.     The

Brtstenstock,  the  GftscheoT  the  Befmi- 
stock,  the  Bochli,  the  Mitiagsstock. 
the  Hohe  Faulen^  and  the  Wmdgelle 
stand  arrayed,  Ijka  an  army  of  snow- 
capped giants^  as  if  deterinined  tn 
bar  our  further  progress.  At  Erst 'eld 
the  long  ascent  begins.  The  valley 
narrows  to  a  gor^e,  and  soon  we 
are  spinning  along  giddy  precipiticfj, 
and  over  bridges  from  which  we 
look  down  upon  ravines,  Iree-topSp 
and  scattered  dwellings  far  below, 
the  post-road  following  oar  route, 
And  coming  into  view  at  frequent 
intervals  as  we  advance,  .^t  Amsteg, 
at  the  foot  of  Mount  Bristen,  we  shoot 
out  of  a  tunnel  upon  the  wonderful 
bridge,  174  feet  high,  spanning  the 
Maderan  valley,  and  gain  a  view,  the 
memory  of  which  will  linger  for  a  life 
time.  Then  follows  a  series  of  seven- 
teen tunnels,  three  of  them,  the  PfafTen- 
sprung,  the  Waliinger,  and  the  Le^gi- 
sietn  circular  ones,  end  a  succession 
of  bridges  —  three  of  them  over  one 
and  the  same  stream,  the  Meienreuss 
—  and,  finally  crossing  the  bridge, 
spanning  the  dizzy  chasm  of  144  feet 
Ihrough  which  the  Reuss  at  this  point 
leaps,  we  are  at  Goschenen,  the 
northern  point  of  entrance  to  the  great 
tunnel  through  the  St.  Gothard.  Here 
the  railway,  and  its  old-fashioned  com- 
panion, the  fetage-road,  part  company 
for  a  while,  the  former  passing  into 
the  darkness  of  the  tunnel,  to  emtrge 
later  at  Airolo  on  the  southern  or 
Italian  side  of  the  mountain,  while 
the  Intter  follows  its  time-honoured, 
winding,  and  picturesque  way^  through 
the  Schollenen,  and  over  the  Devifs 
Bridge  to  Andermatt,  Hospenthal, 
and  the  Hospice  at  the  summit,  and 
thence  down  again  through  the  ^'"^ 
Tremola,  to  Airolo  where  it  r*' 
the  railway. 

The  highest  point  of  the  li.. 
3,786  feet  above  the  sea-level, 
ib  situated  somewhere  near  the  mi 
of  the  Tunnel,  whose  grade  rises  i 
either  end.  It  was  built  at  the  cc 
60  million  francs,  is  26  feet  in  ^ 


20  feet  in  he[ght»  and  con^lructcd  for 
double  tracks.  During  its  progress  to 
completipn,  Louis  Favre,  its  designer^ 
while  inspecting  the  interiori  was  laid 
low  by  the  hand  of  dealh,  being  s.^hed 
by  an  apoplectic  fit.  The  greet  under- 
taking, however,  was  continued  by 
other  iiands,  and^  on  the  29th  of 
February  1880^  communication  was 
opened  between  Lhe  tw*o  ends. 

The  work  is  in  every  way  admir- 
iible.  Since  the  beginning  of  1899 
the  tunnel  has  been  artificially  venti- 
lated by  means  of  the  Saccardo 
system  of  ventilation,  operating  from 
Gbschenen,  which  sends  a  consti^nt 
supply  of  fresh  air  into  the  tunne1| 
so  that  the  unpleasantness  caused 
by  the  smoke  of  the  engines  is  no 
longer  occasioned. 

The  time  required  for  passing 
through  the  tunnel  varies  from 
Iti  to  20  minutes.  But,  in  this  short 
period,  we  have  been  carried  from  a 
purely  German  district  into  the  midst 
of  Italian  stirroundings,  a^rchitecture, 
costume,  physiognomy,  and  language 
having  all  become  Italian.  On  leaving 
the  station  of  Airolo,  we  leap  the 
Tessin  by  a  bridge  72  feet  high^ 
and  pass  through  a  tunnel  at  Slal* 
vedro*  Ambri-Piotlfl  and  Rodi-Fiesso 
are  rapidly  left  behind,  the  Polmengo 
Bridge  200  feet  long  is  crossed  and 
Faido,  the  capital  of  Leventina,  is 
reached.  We  are  now  in  lhe  very 
midst  of  rich  Italian  scenery,  with  its 
luxuriant  vegetation  and  glorious  chest- 
nut woods.  Mear  Lavorgo,  we  catch 
a  glimpse  of  the  beautiful  cascade 
or  Cnbiflsca,  andj  having  stopped  at 
Giornico  station,  we  soon  reach  liiasca, 
where  the  smiling  verdure  of  the  land- 
scape, the  trailing  vine  and  shady 
fig-tree  convince  the  traveller  that  the 
domain  of  rock  and  glacier,  gorge  and 
precipice    has    been    left    Jar   behind. 

Skirting  the  valley,  under  impending 
cliffs,  we  come  to  Bel lin zona,  strate- 
gically and  historicatiy  the  most  inter- 
esting spot  since  we  left  Lucerne. 
Three  miles  further  on^  wo  pass  the  i 


Junction  to  Locarno  and  Luino  on 
Lake  Maggiore,  and  soon  commence 
the  ascent  of  Monte  Cenere,  the  beau- 
tiful view  of  the  Tessin  valley  ex- 
panding  more  and  more   as  we  rise. 

Suddenly*  a  tunnel,  leading  to  the 
valley  of  Agno.  is  entered.  Beyond 
lies  the  station  of  Lugano,  high 
above  the  city,  with  whrch  it  is 
connected  by  a  cable  railway. 

Between  Lugano  and  Como,  the 
direct  St  Gothard  train  requires  les,'; 
than  an  hour.  Consequently,  one 
may  leave  Lugano  by  boat  in  the 
morning,  make  the  tour  of  lhe  lakes 
of  Lugano  &  Como,  and  return  by  the 
Si.  Gothard  line  to  Lugano  the  same 
evening.  From  this  town,  the  run 
to  Ch»asso,  round  the  base  of  Monte 
San  Salvatore,    is    very    picturesque. 

The  Lake  of  Lugano  is  crossed  at 
Meiide  by  a  causeway  2,509  feet  long, 
with  bridges  ai  either  end*  The  eastern 
shore  is  then  skirted  as  far  as  Capo- 
lago,    a    town    at  the  foot  of  Monte 
Generoso,     It  is  a  favourite  summer- 
resoit  of  Italians,    on    account  of  its 
splendid    views,    which    embrace  the 
lakes  of  Lugano,   Como,  Varese,   the 
plains  of  Lombardy  and,   on  the  N., 
the  Alpine  heights*    A  cog- wheel  rail- 
way conveys  the  traveller,   in   about 
an    hour,    to    the    summit   of  Monte 
Generoso,    where  a   first-class    hotel, 
provided  with  every  modern  comfort 
and    convenience,     supplies    all    the 
wants  of  the  tourists     The  moon  tain 
having  thus  been  rendered  accessible 
by  rail,  this  picturesque  and  salubrious 
mountain  resort  will  doubtless  become 
one  of  the  most  popular  in  Northern 
Italy,     Four  mifes  further^   we  reach 
Ghiapso  and  the  Italian  frontier.    Como 
is  but  3  miles  distant,  and  a  journ 
of  another  28  m  le=.  through  a  dense 
populated  district^  brings  us  to  Mib 
where     direct     connection     is     mat 
with     express     trains     for    Flore nc 
Rome    and    Naples,    for    Venice,    , 
for     Genoa,     San     Remo,     Menton^ 
Monte  Carlo,  Nice  and  Cannes.

of  Switzerland^  it  la  easily  reached, 
and  enables  travellers  to  get  to  alf

mis  ,  Steinalpbrisen ,  Engelberger 
Kotstock,  Plankensiock,  Titlis  (seen 
across  the  shoulder  of  the  Stanser- 
horn),  and  the  Hutstock  (above  the 
Grafinmatt),  though  most  of  these 
only  come  into  view  from  the  hills 
surrounding  the  town,  such  as  from 
Giitsch  in  the  W.,  to  which  a  rope- 
railway  gives  access  in  10  minutes 
from  Schweizerhof  Quai. 

The  town  itself  is  severed  by  the 
emerald  waters  of  the  bridge-spanned 
Reuss. 

The  first  and  largest  of  its  bridges 
is  the  See-Brucke,  at  the  effluence 
of  the  stream.  It  is  a  fine  structure 
borne  by  six  piers  and  having  a 
length  of  500  feet  and  a  breadth  of 
52  feet;  while  the  view  which  it 
commands   of  the  town  and  lake  is 


very  effective.  At  one  end  of  this 
bridge  there  stands  a  meteorological 
column;  at  the  other  end  is  the 
Railway  Staiion,  a  beautifijl  building, 
whose  enormous  dome  is  visible 
for  a  great  distance:  close  by  is  the 
Post  Office,  passing  which,  we  pro- 
ceed to  the  middle  of  the  bridge, 
whence  a  magnificent  prospect  opens 
out.  Across  the  flashing  surface  of 
the  lake  appear  the  garden-girdled 
Rigi  and  the  jagged  Pilatus,  enclo:  ' 
between  them,  a  host  of  shimmer 
peaks. 

Turning     to     view    the    city, 
notice  the  quaint  old  Kapell  BrOt 
roofed    with    wood   and   built  acr 
the  river  in  a  slanting   line  to  av 
the    pressure    of   the    waters,    w 
here    divide   and   swoop  around 


•Water  Tower".  The  roofing  is 
adorned  with  pictures  illustrating  the 
history  of  Lucerne. 

The  further  end  of  the  See  Brucke 
opens  on-to  Schfvanen  PL,  where  the 
renowned  Schtveizerhof  Quai  com- 
mences, its  prolongation  being  called 
the  Quai  National,  It  is  the  fashion- 
able promenade  of  the  place,  and  is 
justly  admired  for  its  shady  avenues 
of  chestnut-trees  and  splendid  view 
of  the  lake  and  Alps. 

Here,  too,  is  situated  the  ex- 
ceptionally handsome  'Kurhaus': 
it  possesses  a  fine  band  of  30  mu- 
sicians, many  of  whom  are  drawn 
from  the  celebrated  Scala  Orchestra 
in  Milan.  Hard  by  is  the  English 
Church,  a  pretty  little  building  in 
Gothic  style. 


To  the  east  of  the  quay,  pictur- 
esquely situated  on  a  slight  elevation 
and  approached  by  a  flight  of  steps, 
rises  the  Hofkirche  (Court  Church) 
supposed  to  have  been  founded  in 
the  7th  cent. 

It  is  dedicated  to  Leodegar,  the 
patron  saint  of  the  city  whose  name 
has  been  corrupted  into  "Luzcm'*. 
The  date  of  the  present  edifice  is 
unknown;  but  its  two  steeples  were 
erected  in  1506 ;  and  the  whole  struc- 
ture was  renovated  some  150  years 
later.  The  most  interesting  parts  of 
the  interior  are  the  chancel  and 
choir,  which  contain  some  beautiful 
16th  cent,  wood -carving,  an  elegant 
hammered  railing  and  a  fine  crucifix. 
There  are  also  two  altars  with  gilded 
wood -carving  of   the   I5tb  century:

,antic  work,  carved  in  the  rock  by 

\orn  from  Thorwaldsen's  designs, 

d  begun,  on  the  initiative  of  Colonel 

^ffer,    in     1821.      The    inscription, 

felveiiorum    fidei     ac     viriuti*\, 

fere  to,  the  Swiss  Guards  who  fell 


in  defending  the  Tuilleries,  at  the 
close  of  August  and  begiiming  of 
September  1792.  Near  the  monument, 
there  is  the  famous  Gletscher  Garten, 
showing  the  marks  of  an  ancient 
glacier  and  containing  the  Stauffer 
Museum  of  Alpine  Animals,  a  model 
of  an  old  Lake  Village,  together 
with  a  Moorish  Maze,  fossils  and 
other  interesting  objects.  Returning, 
either  across  Schwanen  PI.  or  down 
Hertenstein  St.,  we  reach  the  old 
town,  and  visit  the 

Rathaus,  erected  in  the  16*^  cent, 
between  the  banks  of  the  Reuss  and 
the  Corn  Market.  It  is  a  structure 
in  pure  Renaissance  style  and,  besides 
a  series  of  portraits  of  the  mayors 
of   Lucerne,   contains    an    Historical 


667 


Tn 


Museiim  of  considerable  value  and 
interest. 

Oa  entering,  we  pass  through  a 
room  containing  the  Art  Collections; 
adjoining  these  there  are  a  number 
of  old  and  interesting  banners.  Next 
comes  the  Historical  Museum  of 
Industrial  Art  with  relics  ranging  in 
date  from  the  H^h  century  onwards. 
In  the  following*  room  will  be  found 
Celto-Roraan,  Alemannic  and  mediae- 
val curiosities;  while  the  first  floor 
possesses  a  Council  Chamber  with 
1 6th  century  carving. 

Proceeding  from  here  to  Keitss 
Briicke»  we  ^ross  to  the  Museum, 
whose  principal  interest  centres  in  the 


Cantonal  Library  of  80,000  volumes 
which  i.t  possesses.  Near  it  is  the 
Jesuit  Church  in  Barocco  style, 
now  the  depository  of  the  Slate 
Archives  and  a  collection  of  coins. 
Hard  by  is  the  pretty  Barjiisser 
Kirche,  in  simple  Gothic  style, 
and  possessing  some  good  wood- 
carving.  Hence,  past  the  Citizen's 
Library  (Biirger  Bibliothek)  we  rs- 
turn  to  the  Railway  Station,  and  visit 
the  KriegS'  and  Friedens-Museum 
(Museum  of  War  and  Peace).  It 
is  a  creation  of  Bloch  the  well- 
known  apostle  of  peace,  and  contains 
relics  of  ancient  warfare,  of  mediaeval 
times,     the     famous     Thirty     Years'

BURGENSTOCK,  STANSSTAD 
(Stanserhorn) ,     EN6ELBERG , 

ALPNACHSTAD  (Pilatuo),   MELCH- 
THAL  to  BRONIG,  MEIRINGEN. 

Koroiten  is  a  little  place  on  the 
southern  shores  of  the  Lake  of  Lucerne, 
with  view  across  its  broadest  sheet 
of  water.  The  village  is  connected, 
by  a  rope-railway,  with  the 

BIJRGRNSTOCK  (HOT.!  lit  class: 
Palaee  Hotel,  new;  Clrand  Hot.;  Pare  Hot. 

together  600  beds),  a  mountain  ridge 
covered  with  darkling  woods  of  pine, 
and  rising  to  a  height  of  2,850  feet. 
The  prospect  is  beautiful  and  exten- 
sive, embracing  not  only  the  various 
arms  of  the  lake  with  its  surrounding 
mountain  monarchs,  but  also  the 
more  distant  Eiger,  the  Brienzer  Rot- 
horn,  and  other  of  the  higher  Alps, 
Another    route    is    by   steamer  to 


SUnsstad  (see  bclowj,  and  thence, 
along  the  fin©  new  road  which ,  with 
its  splendid  views  across  Alpnacher 
Bay,  leads,  in  H/a  hours,  to  Hot 
Burgtmtock,  highly  recommended  lo 
tourists.  Or,  the  two  routes  may 
well  be  combined;  firet  by  steamer 
to  Kersiten,  and  by  the  rope -rail  way 
up  the  mountain,  the  descent  being 
made  to 

MTANSSTAD  (ALT,t  1,444  feet.  -

situated  the  elation  ol  the  rope* 
railway  that  mounts  the  steep  scdes  of 

STANSERHORN  to  within  a 
short  distance  of  its  summit  (&,2S8 
feet).  The  prospects  during  the  ascent 
are  exceedingly  beautiful  Arrived 
at  the  top,  where,  on  a  high  terrace, 
stands  Hoi.  StaHserkom  (a  l<t  class 
house  with  100  beds),  we  cross  the 
little  plateau  to  the  flag  flying  on 
the  peak.  Here,  the  outlook  becomes 
truly  magnificent,  the  giant  form  of 
Titlis  close  by,  the  lakes  of  Zug, 
Baldegg,  Hallwil  and  Sempach  and 
the  whole  of  the  Bernese  Alps 
appearing  in  exceptionally  beautiful 
grouping,  and  shutting  in  the  nearer 
hills  that  form  an  inner  framework 
round  the  shores  of  the  Lake  of 
Lucerne. 

Behind  theBiirgenstock,  and  stretch- 
ing away  to  the  east  end  of  the 
peninsular,  towers  the 

Hammetochwand,  a  magnificent 
height,    whose   summit    (3,710   feet) 
commands   a    view    of   the  Lake   of 
the  Four  Cantons  and  six  other  lakes 
as  well  as  of  the  Bernese  Alps, 
Unterwaldner,    Glarner  and  Jur 
The    route    is    along   the    rock 
cut  in  the  cliff  and  then  by  funi 
to  the  new  hotel  at  the  top. 

Returning  to  Stans,  we  proceet 
the  open  cars  ( 1  hr.  40  min.),  of 
admirably  worked  Stansstad-Engel*

severe,  and  requires  7  hours.  Ex-

Usually  the  ascent  is  begun  late  in 
the  after-noon,  the  night  being  spent 
at  Triibseealp,  and  the  tour  finished

AliPBTACHSTADCALT.!  1,448  ft.  — 
HOT.:  Pilatns)  whence  the  celebrated 
Pilatus  Railway,  daringly  constructed 
but  perfectly  safe,  now  gives  access 
to  the  far-famed  Pilatus. 

The  mountain  railway,  considered 
the  boldest  and  grandest  in  the  world, 
has  a  length  of  5,040  yards  and  an 
average  gradient  of  38  in  100.  (See 
also  advertisement  page  568.) 

Pilatus  is  a  mountain  possessing 
irresistible  attractions  for  the  tourist. 
Rising  so  defiantly  to  the  west  of 
Lucerne,  and  presenting  such  a  rugged 
and  savage  aspect,  it  is  impossible  to 
overlook   it.      Our   forefathers,    who 


dreaded  this  mountain,  peopled  its 
peaks  and  gorges  with  legendary 
shapes,  so  that  no  other  mountain  is 
so  rich  in  Tolk-lore,  but  we;  of  the 
present  day,  who  have  learned  to 
love  the  wild  Alps,  fearlessly  scale  it 
either  on  foot  or  by  the  mountain- 
railway  leading  from  Alpnachstad  to 
the  summit.  There  are  8  or  9  sum- 
mits, indeed,  but  the  one  we  refer  to 
is  the  Esel  (6,962  feet),  which  com- 
mands the  finest  view.  It  is  the 
most  easterly  of  the  three  peaks  domi- 
nating Lucerne,  the  westernmost  and 
loftiest  being  the  Tomlishorn  (6,998 
feet),  the  northern  the  Klimsenhorn. 
The  ascent  by  rail  from  Alpnach- 
stad to  Pilatus -Kulra  (5,528  ft.)   is

Aceomplisbed  in  1  hour  and  25  min. 
On  the  wiyr  the  tourist  does  not  know 
which  to  admire  most,  —  the  wonder- 
ful railway  or-the  prospects  it  affords. 
Among  the  most  interesting  parts  from 
a  technical^ point  of  view  are  the 
viaduct  over  the  Wolfort  Ravine  and 
the  four  tunnels  piercing  the  preci- 
pitous Esel.  Grand  beyond  descrip- 
tion is  the  view  that  presents  itself 
to  us  when,  on  leaving  the  terminus, 
which  stands  close  to  the  old  Hotel 
Bellevue,  now  a  mere  dependance  of 
the  spacious  and  comfortable  Hotel 
Pilatus-Kulm,  we  suddenly  see  Lucerne 
and  its  lake  lying  at  an  enormous 
depth  below  us. 
Steps,  with  an  iron  balustrade,. lead 


in  five  minutes  from  the  Hotel  Pilatus- 
Kulm  to  the  bold  summit  of  the  Esel, 
rising  like  a  tower  from  the  rocky 
ridge.  The  first  impression  which  the 
view  from  Pilatus  gives  us,  is  so  over- 
whelming, that  it  takes  some  time  be- 
fore we  can  enjoy  a  look  into  the 
details  of  the  lovely  scene.'  In  the 
long  range  of  snowy  Alps  the  moun- 
tains of  the  Bernese  Oberland  are 
conspicuous,  —  especially  the  majestic 
group  of  the  Monch,  Eiger  and  Jung- 
frau;  the  sight  of  the  Lake  of  Lucerne, 
here  seen  in  its  full  extent,  is  also 
particularly  attractive.  Numerous  other 
lakes  are  visible  further  to  the  north, 
as  those  of  Zug,  Sempach,  Baldegg 
and     Hallwil,     and    the    horizon    is

From  the  Hotel  Pilatus -Kulm  a

commanding  a  view  still  more  exten-

inferior  in  picturesque  effect.    A  new 


path,  also  blasted  in  the  rocks  and

leads  in  three-quarters  of  an  hour

The  great  charm  of  the  place, 
however,  lies  in  its  beautiful  en-

great  celebrity. 

These  are  (1)  up  the  valley  of

thence,  through  a  fine  gorge  to  the

THE  RI6I  (Hot  Rigi  First,  pro- 
perty of  A.  Bon  of  Park  Hotel,  Vitznau), 
one  of  the  most  renowned  mountain 
ranges  in  Switzerland,  owes  its  cele- 
brity to  its  remarkable  topographical 
situation.  The  foot  of  the  immense 
mountain  pile  is '  laved  by  the  waters 
of  three  Jakes.  They  are  the  Lakes 
of  Lucerne,  of  Zug  and  Lowerz.  By 
them  it  is  so  enclosed  as  to  give  it 
almost  the  form  of  an  inland.  Indeed, 
there  can  be  little  doubt  but  that  the 
three  strips  of  lowland  which  join  it 
to  the  other  ranges  and  in  which 
Kiissnacht,  Arth-Goldau  and  Brunnen 
are  respectively  situated,  were  once 
occupied  by  straits  connecting  the 
lakes  with  each  other. 

Of  the  many  footways  that  lead 
from  Lucerne  to  the  mountain  peaks, 
the  shortest,  though  steepest,  is  that 
via  Kussnacht  and  Immenree;  but  the 
easiest  route  is  by  the  Rigi  Railway

by  rail,  it  is  advisable  to  continue 
the  journey  for  ^j^  hour  on  foot. 
In  this  way,  one  is  enabled  to  pass 
through  the  celebrated  "Hohle  Gasse** 
where  William  Tell  awaited  and  slew 
his  persecutor,  thus  avenging  himself 
and  his  compatriots.  Beyond  the  spot, 
moreover,  is  the  so  -  called  "TelVs

that  of  the  same  name  at  the  **Platte"

H0TBL8:  Hof-6oldan  in  Arth;  Bossli 
in  Goldau. 

Of  these  two  villages,  the  former 
lies  on  the  margin  of  the  Lake  of 
Zug,  and  the  latter  a  short  distance 
inland.  Apart  from  its  important  posi- 
tion, the  place  has  obtained  a  terrible 
celebrity  through  the  catastrophe  of 
the  6th  Sept.  1 806,  when  an  enormous 
landslip  from  Rossberg  buried  489 
persons  and  destroyed  the  hamlet. 

Goldau  is  a  railway  centre  on  the 
direct  line  between  Zurich  and  Lucerne.

a  part  of  the  debris  of  the  landslip 


mentioned  above,  and,  beyond  Krabel, 
climbs  along  the  precipitous  Krabel- 
wand.  The  view  of  the  lakes  of 
Zug  and  Lowerz  is  very  beautiful, 
but  is  soon  shut-out  by  a  tunnel, 
at  the  further  end  of  which  a  wooded 
dale  opens  out.  Another  steep  as- 
cent, and  we  pass  K16sterli( /^Or^LS; 
Sonne;  Schfveri).  Next  comes 
Wolfertschen.  —  First  is  the  station 
for  Hotel  Rigi-First.  Then  follows 
Staffel  and,  in  a  few  minutes,  wo 
stop  at  Rigi'Kulm, 

N.  B.  Tickets  of  the  Arih-Goldau^ 
Rigi'Railway  are  not  valid  on  the 
Viiznau  -  Rigi-  Railway,  and  care 
should  be  taken  to  enter  the  right 
caniage  on  the  return  journey.  But, 
of  coursQ,  single  tickets  may  be  taken 
and  the  return  made  to  Vitznau. 

Supposing,  however,  that  the  tourist 
makes  Goldau  his  head-quarters,  he 
will  have  the  opportunity  of  doing 
the  beautiful  Lake  of  Zug,  which, 
surrounded  by  a  railway  and  crossed 
by  a  line  of  boats,  is  easily  access- 
ible in  all  its  parts.  The  principal

ZUG  is  an  ancient  town  finely 
situated  on  the  shores  of  the  lake  to 
which  it  gives  its  name.  Its  quaint 
buildings,  most  of  which  date  from 
mediaeval  days,  present  a  most  inter- 
esting appearance,  the  old  town  being 
surrounded  with  walls  and  towers. 
Its  most  important  edifices  are  the 
following: — 

The  Old  Rathaus,  whose  finest  room 
is  the  late-Gothic  Saloon :  the  building 
also  contains  a  collection  of  local  anti- 
quities, including  wood-carving. 

In  the  Kapuzinerkirche,  there  is 
a  painting  of  the  '^Burial  of  Christ" 
by  Calvaert. 

The  Oswaldskirche,  a  Gothic  struc-

the  west  rises  the  mighty  form 


of  Pilatus,  whose  several  peaks  stand 
out  clearly  against  the  sky.  A  little 
further  east  appear  the  wooded 
heights  of  Lopperberg  and  Hoch- 
schwandifluh.  On  the  southern  horizon 
are  seen  Brienzer  Rothorn,  the  Faul- 
horn  and  their  companions.  Opposite 
stands  the  picturesque  Biirgenstock; 
while  nunverous  other  peaks  appear 
in  various  directions. 

The  Rigi  lies  behind  us,  a  pro- 
tecting wall  against  the  bleak  winds 
of  the  north.  The  climate  is  there- 
fore remarkably  mild  and  salubrious, 
rivalling,  in  many  respects,  that  of 
Montreux. 

Woods  and  meadows  and  the  neigh- 
bouring Alps  purify  the  air;  and  the 
porous  soil,  combined  with  a  steady 
thermometer,  gives  ample  opportunity 
for  much  outdoor  exercise.

suited  for  weakly  constitutions,  for

filled  with  Wellingtonias,  cedars,  wal-

VITZNAU  is  a  favourite  health- 
resort  much  frequented  in  spring 
and  autumn.  It  is  a  beautifully 
situated  village  commanded  by  the 
steep  precipice  called  Rothfluh. 

Who  leaves  Lucerne,   the    metro- 
polis   of    the     travelling    world    of

/Uznau  is  the  starting-point  of  the 
RIGI'RAIL  WA  Y,  the  most  famous 
id  most  frequented  of  mountain  rail- 
ays.    It  was  opened  May  2l8t  1871, 


and  has  since  conveyed  nearly  four 
million  passengers  to  the  world- 
renowned  point  of  w'lev/  RIGl-KULM. 
The  top  of  the  island  mountain,  much 
advanced  into  the  valley  and  surround-

unmatched  panorama  of  above  100 
leagues  round. 

The  Viiznau'Rigi  Line  is  the  most

BEGEJCNRIBD  is  an  agreeable  vil- 
laffe  on  the  sbords  of  the  lake  and  facing 
t£e  Bigi. 

The  view  of  the  Mythenstock  &  Frohn- 
alpstock  —  made  so  familiar  to  stadents 
of  Uerman  by  Schiller's  "William  Ttli"  — 
as  well  as  the  delightful,  shady  walks 
of  the  environs,  renders  the  place  a 
very  favourite  health-resort,  the  mild 
climate,  too,  being  especially  suitable 
for  phthisical  and  nervous  persons. 

The  boat  crosses,  again,  to 

GERSAU. 

ALTITUDE:  1,457  feet. 

HOTEL:  Hot-Pens.  HSUer,  splendid 
position  on  lake,  eveiy  convenience, 
comfort  and  recreation,  —  120  rooms. 
(See  also  advt,  page  575). 

GERSAU  is  a  favourite  and  grow- 
ing resort  clustered  in  a  small  bay 
of  thd  lake  at  the  foot,  of  the  Rigi. 
On  either  side  of  the  place  there 
rise  two  mighty  mountains,  -—  the 
Vitznauer  -  stock  (4,7v51  feet)  and 
the  Hochfluh  (5,585  feet).  Between 
these  heights  there  stretch  meadows 
and  woods  cleft  by  ravines  and 
backed  by  the  majestic  table  -  land 
of  Rigischeidegg. 

This  last  mountain  completely 
protects  the  resort  from  the  bleak 
winds  of  the  north;  while  the  porous 
nature  of  the  soil  helps  to  render  it 
very  healthy  and  agreeable.  Indeed 
the  climate  is  remarkably  mild  and 
equable,  being  in  every  respect 
comparable  with  that  of  Montreux. 
The  vegetation  has  quite  a  subtro- 
pical character:  figs  and  chestnuts 
ripen  in  the  autumn;  and  the  orchards 
are  covered  with  blossom  early  in 
the  spring.  The  summers  are  very 
agreeable  and  not  warmer  than  at 
any  other  place  on  the  Lake.  Con- 
sequently, Gersau  is  highly  recom- 
mended as  a  spring,  summer  and 
autumn  resort  (season). 

The  boat  leaves  the  encircling  rocks 
of  the  hamlet  and  steers  between  a 
narrow  strait  towards  Schwyz. 

The  prospect  is  one  of  the  grandest 
which  imagination  can  conceive. 
Brunnen  lies  right  in  front  and  on 
the  edge  of  the  water;  above, 
Schwyz  seems  to  dance  at  the  foot 


of  the  frowning  My  then:  a  little 
to  the  right  of  Brunnen,  and  higher 
up  the  cliff  are  seen  the  'Kur* 
houses  of  Axenstein  and  Axenfels ; 
while,  on  the  opposite  shore,  and  ^ 
backed  by  the  higher  Alps,  appear 
Seelisberg  and  Sonnenberg  —  re- 
ached from  the  landing -stdge  at 

TREIB, 

a  qnaint  old  inn  which,  forlorn  and 
solitary,  resembles  an  ancient  lake- 
dwelling  and  possesses  considerable 
interest  on  accoont  of  its  nearness  to 
the  HytheBStein.  This  white  rock  ia 
visible  for  a  considerable  distance  and 
bears  the  inscription  "Dem  sianger  Tells, 
Friedrich  Schiller,  die  Urkantone*'. 

We  ascend  the  winding  road  over 
the  headland  to 

SEELISBERG. 

ALTITUDE:  3,0^2  feet. 

HOTEL:  Grand  Hotel  Seelisberar  Md 
Karhaosy  l>t  class,  fitted  with  every 
modern  comfort  and  providing  numer- 
ous amnsements.  The  installation  of 
the  Kurhaus  is  that  of  a  modem  hvdro 
with  electric  and  other  baths  of  all 
sorts. 

The  hamlet  of  Seelisberg  lies  on  a 
fine  promontory  opposite  Brunnen, 
and,  together  with  Sonnenberg,  pos- 
sesses one  of  the  finest  situations  in 
Switzerland. 

Sonnenberg,  in  fact,  lies  149  leet 
higher  than  the  village.  It  is  a  ^Kur- 
hatis'  standing  in  a  magnificent  park 
with  beautiful  gardens  and  shady 
groves.  Hard  by  it,  is  the  little 
chapel  called  Maria  Sonnenberg", 
which,  as  a  pilgrim  spot,  attracts  a 
great  number  of  the  inhabitants  of 
the  neighbourhood. 

From  the  terrace  of  the  Kurhaus, 
a  wonderful  scene  opens  out  before 
the  thrilled  beholder :  beneath,  lie  the 
meadows   of   the    Riitli,    washed   *  r 
the    dark-green    waves  of  the   U     : 
across   the    water    lies   the   Vale      f

sides,  and    overlooked  by  the   «

At  the  water*?  edge,  right  opposite, 
a  prominent  and  pointed  rock  stands 
out  beneath  the  shadow  of  the  rugged 
headland :  it  is  th^  Schiller  Monument, 
whose  inscription  is  easily  legible  with 
the  aid  of  a  good  field-glass^ 

A  little  further  along  the  undershore, 
to  the  left,  lies  Riitli:  on  the  moun- 
tain ridge,  above,  is  SeeUsberg, 
over -shadowed  by  Oberbauenstock 
and  Unterbauenkulm.  B<'yond  these, 
still  turning  the  eyes  southwards, 
the  Malenstocke/Urirotstock  and  the 
Schlossherg  come  into  view.  At  the 
angle  of  the  lake  to  oyr  right  lies 
memorable  Brunnen;  while  across  the 
broad  basin  westwards,  appear  the 
Rigi  and  Pilaius,  the  latter,  though 
diminished  by  distance,  clearly  recog- 
nisable by  its  singularly  pointed  form. 

These  encircling  hills  render  the 
climate  exceedingly  mild  and  pleasant; 
but,  at  the  same  time,  the  morning 
breeze  of  the  mountains,  blowing 
from  Schwyz  towards  Uri,  and  the 
evening  breeze  from  Uri  towards 
Schwyz  prevent  the  atmosphere  from 
becoming  oppressive. 

Moreover,  the  air  is  charged  with 
ozone   from  the  surrounding  woods. 

In  the  park  there  are  not  only 
pleasant  walks,  but  also  interesting 
rocks  and  relics  —  vestiges  of  the 
glacial  period.

of  the  finest  views  to  be  found  in  the 
whole  district  of  the  Lake  of  Lucerne. 

To  the  south  are  the  massive  Uri- 
rotstock  with  the  dark  waves  of  the 
Lake  of  Uri.  To  the  west  —  the  craggy 
cliffs  of  mount  Pilatus  and  the  broad 
mirror  of  the  so-called,  Mittelsee. 
To  the  north  —  the  bold  precipitous 
Mythen,  with  the  lovely  vale  of 
Schwyz.  Eastwards  lies  idyllic  Mor-

the  strange  rocky  pyramids  and  peaks, 
rising  from  the  Muota  Valley  and  the

Brunnen-Axenstein).  Altogether  Axen- 
stein,  with  its  large  forest- park,  its 
spacious  lawns,  play-grounds  and  ex- 
cursions, is  one  of  the  most  delight- 
fully situated  and  perfectly  appointed 
hotels  in  Europe,  and  one  can  well 
understand  the  late  Queen  Victoria 
writing  of  it  "Axenstein  is  the  love 
liest  spot  I  met  with  on  my  journey 
through  Switzerland*'. 

The  more  (distant  ex'^ursions,  saoh  as  to 
Seliwyz,  the  Hythea,  Bigi  &e.  the  visitor 
will  find  described  ander  the  three  routen 
from  Lucerne:—  Nos  71,  71  a.  and  71  b. 

The  principal  are  hy  rail  or  boat  froD) 
^rnaiieiiy  whence  we  also  cross  to 

RiJTIil,  a  tree-girt  meadow,  lying 
in  a  secluded  spot  beneath  precipitous 
cliffs.  It  is  a  shrine  of  sacred  memory 
to"  every  Switzer.  Hither,  on  the  7*l» 
of  November  in  the  year  one  thousand 
three  hundred  and  seven,  Walther  lUrst 
of  Uri,  Werner  Stanffaeher  of  Schwyz, 
and  Arnold  Anderhalden  of  Unterwalden 
brought  each  his  tale  of  heroes  that 
numbered  in  all  tbree-and-thirty,  and 
that  oath  was  sworn  which  lighted  at 
once  the  flume  of  insurrection  against 
a  tyrant  yoke  and  the  torch  of  the 
eternal  liberty  of  Switzerland. 

TKLL'S  CHAPEL  (Hot.  Tells  Kapelle, 
an  admirable  house  for  protracted  stay), 
which,  with  Tell's  Platte,  lies  near  the 
head  Of  Drner  Lake,  is  a  spot  of  kindred 
interest  to  the  above.  Here,  beneath 
a  low  and  bush-crowned  cliff,  stands  a 
small  chapel  on  a  little  ledge  of  rock. 
It  is  the  ledge  to  which  Tell  leapt  from 
Governor  Gessler's  boat.  He  was  being 
transported  across  the  lake,  when  a 
terrible  storm  nrose,  and  Gessler,  know- 
ing his  captive's  seamanship  'had  him 


nnbound  and  put  to  the  helm.  Steering 
his  course  carefuUy  under  the  crags  to 
this  spot,  he  sprang,  with  one  bound'  from 
the  Intern  i)o  the  shore,  at  the  s^iue  time 
diiving  the  boat  back  into  the  breakers* 


The  steamer  continues  alongside  the 
Axenberg,  with  its  picturesque  road 
and  the  St.  Gothard  Railway  peeping 
out  here  and  there,  to 

flCelen.

Both  the  hotel  and  its  Restaurant  are 
well  recommended. 

The  place  being  the  harbour-town  of 
Uri-Land,  as  well  as  a  station  of  the 
St.  Gothard  Railway,  it  is,  in  summer, 
crowded  with  tourists  coming  and 
going  by  rail  or  by  steamer  across 
LJrner  Lake.  The  station  and  pier 
are  situated  close  to  one  another. 
Within  the  town  itself  the  chief  point 
of  interest  is  Rudenz  Castle,  which 
stands  behind  the  church. 

Fliielen  is  a  favourite  place  of  so- 
journ and  an  excellent  centre  for 
touring  among  the  surrounding  moun- 
tains and  valleys,  of  which  the  prin- 
cipal are  Isenthal,  Schonegg  Pass, 
Rotgratli  and  Uriroistock,  An  elec- 
tric tramway  runs  up  the  valley  of 
the  Reuss  to  Altdorf.

This  market  town,  the  capital  of 
the  Canton  of  Uri  presents  a  dignified 
appearance,  and  is  charmingly  situated 
in  a  valley  filled  with  orchards.  Its 
mild  and  healthy  sub-alpine  climate 
and  rich  vegetation  render  it  a 
favourite  resort  of  tourists  and  plea- 
sure-seekers who  flock  hither  from 
Spring  to  Fall. 

But  the  principal  interest  of  the 
place  centres  in  its  connection  with 
William  Tell.  Across  the  valley  lies 
AHingftaiisen,  where  Gesslcr  ruled. 
Thus  it  comes  about  that,  in  Altdorf, 
Tell  is  said  to  have  performed  the 
famous  feat  of  splitting,  with  an 
arrow,  the  apple  placed  on  his 
8on*s  head. 

The  supposed  spots  where  the 
father  and  the  son  stood  are  marked 
with  monumental  fountains.  Moreover, 
in  the  year  1895,  a  splendid  statue, 
designed  by  Kissling,  was  erected 
near  the  13^  century  tower  on  the 
principal  square  of  the  town.  It 
represents  the  hero  in  manly  posture, 
his  right  hand  bearing  the  crossbow, 
his  left  resting  upon  the  shoulder 
of  his  son  who  clasps  the  sinewy 
fingers. 

Finally,  trophies  of  the  struggle 
Ibr  independence  have  been  preserved 
in  the  Rathaus:  and,  in  summer, 
performances  of  Schiller's  William 
Tell  are  given.

ANDERMATT  owes  its  celebrity  to 
its  remarkable  situation.  Lying  in  a

from  AUdorf,  Engadine,  Zermati 
and  SU  Gothard,  it  is  an  excellent

Moreover,  in  the  immediate  vicinity, 

are  the  celebrated  Devil's  Bridge  and

Lugano  bathes  her  feet. 

The  town  itself  contains  several 
tdiUces  of  considerable  mterest,  of 
wbieh  the  most  striking  are  the 
following^  namely  r — 

The  Caik^dral  of  St.  Lorenzo,  a 
15tli  century  building  with  a  poroh 
4»eorated  with  B  ne  med  i  ue val  bas- 
tiliefs. 

The  Church  of  Samia  Maria  degU 
Jkmg^H^  embellished  with  Luini's  beaii- 
tifUl  freacoes  of  Christ* i  FassioH^  the 
Madtmna  and  the  Last  Snpp^* 

The  Palazzo  Cimco  (Tomm  Hall) 
to  A  hmndsomo  stftjcture  erected  in 
Gtkoo- Roman  atyte  in  the  year  1 844, 


It  contains  four  good  statues  tnii  m 

collection  ot  modern  ptctureg. 

Besides  these  buildings^  there  wtm 
the  Apollo  Theatre  and  a  number  of 
handsome  villas  of  which  the  most 
noteworthy  is  G^ni,  containing  the 
beautiful  D^alazion^  by  the  sculptor 
Vela,  Moreover!  there  arc  two  h*nd' 
some  fountains,  one  of  them  in  the 
public  garden  near  the  Apiary,  the 
other  At  Piazza  Rizievo  Eexzonica. 
Across  these  squares,  one  gets  a 
good  view  of  the  aurfounding  hills. 
Scarce  two  miles  away  to  the  south 
rises  the  densely  wooded  height  of 
San  Salvaiore*  More  remote  stands 
the  celebrated  Monte  Gen^rosOt  to 
the  south-east  Facing  Lugano  across

in  the  evening  (cf.  St.  Golhard  Rail* 
way). 

For  pedestrians  the  most  interesting 
walks  are  the  following:  — 

(1)  Starting  from  Plasia  Glardlao,  we 
follow  the  shores  of  the  lake  past  the 
Ianding>pier,  the  Church  of  Santa  Maria 
dpgli  Angioli  and  the  English  Churoh  to 
the  suburb  of  Paradlso  (Tramway  from 
Piazza  Giardino  every  V4hr.).  From  here 
to  oatlook  tower  commands  a  fine  view. 

(2)  As  No.  1  to  the  English  Church,  be- 
yond which  take  the  Ponte  Tresa  road 
and  climb  past  Rest,  du  Jardin  to  the 
village  of  Sorengo,  or  to  Ssnt' Abondio. 

(3)  From  Piazza  dell'  Indipendenaa 
through  the  grounds  of  Tills  Clsni  (with 
the  statue  of  ''Desolation'*  mentioned 
above)  to  the  V.  Car  o  Cattaneo  and 
across  the  river  to  Cassarate,  Castagnola 
and  Gandria  (see  above). 

Of  the  many  renowned  mountain 
ascents,  the  following  are  the  most 
celAbrated,  namely: — 

MONTE  SAN  SAL.¥ATOttE  (2,080 
feet),  reached  by  electric  tramway  from 
Piassa  eiardini  to  Salvatore  Station 
and  thence  by  cable-railway. 

JHONTE  URt:  (3,055  ft.)  lies  to  the  E. 
ol  the  town,  the  ascent  being  easy  and 
the  views  exceedingly  beaatifuL  The 
route  is  by  the  electric  car  to  Ca^isarata 
and  thence  on  foot  via  Yiganello  and 
along  a  oUmbing  path  to  Aibonago. 


BIOBTTE  CAPRIMO  lies  on  the 
eastern  shore  of  the  lake,  and  is  a 
favourite  resort  of  the  inhabitants  of 
Lugano,  who,  on  holidays,  visit  their 
wine  cellars  in  the  mountain  sideo. 

More  distant  trips  are:— 

To  MONTE  BOGIilA  (4,965 ft), whioh 
a^ords  an  exceedingly  picturesque  view, 
but  requires  a  guide  for  the  ascent. 

To  San  Bernardo  (2,810  ft),  a  churoh 
standing  on  a  table-land  whence  a  fine 
view  is  obtained;  beyond  it  is  the  mo- 
nastery of  BIgorie  in  lovely  situation 
on  a  wooded  height  (2,690  feet). 

To  Monte  Tamaro  (6,485  ft.);  to  Moate 
Camogh^  (7,300  feet),  a  difficult  climb, 
though  the  prospect  obtained  well  xa- 
pays  the  exertion. 

But  the  finest  and  most  famous  ez* 
curs  ion  is  by  the  St  Gothard  &ailw«y 
or  by  steamer  to 

CAPOIiAeO  (ffot-Pens.  da  Lee),  at 
the  extremity  of  the  southwestern  arm  of 
til e  lake :  thence,  by  the  Abfc  Railway  to  the 
summit  of  MONTE  GENEROSO,  5,K00 
ft  above  the  sea-level.  The  panorama  that 
lies  spread  out  around  us  is  one  of  inoom* 
parable  beauty.  At  our  feet,  the  beautiful 
Lago  dl  Lai^ano  seeming  to  sarroundthe 
lower  hills  and  to  form  an  island  land- 
scape that  reminds  one  of  the  Vision  of. 
Mirza.  Beyond,  we  get  four  peeps  of  Lago 
UaKglore,  its  length  broken  by  the  inter- 
vening heights.  In  the  distance,  the

Even  tho  winds  that  blow  over  the

answers  to  the  enthusiastic  description 
given  of  it  by  Tdpfer  in  the  foUowing

villas  and  mansions,  now  that  of  the

And  this  vegetation  remains  ever 
fresh,  for  dust  is  unknou^n  in

in  charming  situation  on  an  elevation

The  town,  which  is  in  every  way 
Italian,  possessed,  in  tlie  middle-ages, 
considerable  commercial  importance; 
but  numbers  of  its  merchants  were 
driven  out  during  the  reformation, 
and,  settling  in  Zurich,  planted  in 
that  town  the  seeds  of  its  great  silk 
industry;  while  ihe  development  of 
Locarno  was  completely  checked. 
Still,  the  place  has  a  population  of 
nearly  4,000,  and  possesses  a  number 
of  interesting  buildings,  such  as  the 
Government  Offices,  the  Post  Office 
and  two  monuments,  —  one  to

ITALY. 


Italy  is  the  middle  of  the  three  southern 
peninstdaa  of  Europe.  On  the  north,where 
the  peninsula  joins  the  mainland  of 
Europe,  it  is  bounded  by  France,  Switzer- 
land and  Austria,  the  restpf  the  country 
beings  surrounded  by  the  Adriatic Qulf  on 
the  east,  by  the  Ionic  Sea  on  the  south  and 
by  the  Tyrrhinean  and  Ligurian  Seas  on 
the  east,  all  of  them  being  parts  of  the 
blue  Mediterranean.  Around  the  coast 
of  the  mainland,  there  are  a  number 
of  neighbouring  islands,  of  which  the 
largest  are  Sicily  and  Sardinia.  The 
physical  appearance  of  the  mainland  is 
determined,  for  the  ipreater  part,  by  the 
Apennines.  This  chain  of  mountains, 
rising  from  the  Plain  of  Lombardy,  and 
running  through  the  middle  of  Italy 
southwards,  grows  wilder  and  wilder 
AS  it  approa<me8  the  extremity  of  the 
peninsula. 

The  country  is  commonly  divided  into 
Upper,  Middle  and  Southern  Italy,  — 
three  divisions  in  which  the  character 
and  the  language  of  the  population 
displays  so  inappreciable  differences. 

Once  the  cradle  and  home  of  the 
mighty  Boman  Empire,  it  became,  in 
later  times,  the  centre  of  the  papal  rule. 
Tom  by  turmoils  and  discord, the  country 
lost  its  unity  until  within  quite  recent 
times;  but,  during  the  past  century,  it 
became  re -inspired  with  the  sense  of 
its  nationality  and  was  reunited  under 
King  Yittorio  Emanuele  II. 

The  land  is  endowed  with  beauties 
of  nature,  with  productions  of  art,  and 
with  monuments  of  a  glorious  past,  which 
render  its  position  absolutely  unique. 

But  concerning  the  art  ana  literature 
of  the  land,  it  is  impossible  to  enter  into 
details  within  the  small  compass  of 
this  guide:  moreover,  with  the  general 
out -line  of  the  subject  every  educated 
person  if  sufficiently  familiar  for  the 
purposes  of  travel. 

We  may,  however,  mention  that  the 
countryi  which  is  divided  into  69  provin- 
ces, is  governed  according  to  the  constitu- 
tion of  the  Eingrdom  of  Sardinia,  which 
lasted  down  to  the  year  1848.  It  is,  conse- 
quently, a  limited  monarchy  assisted  by 
a  Senate  and  Chamber  of  Deputies.

PASSPORTS.  Though  not  legally 
imperative,  passports  are  necessary  for 
a  lengthened  sojourn  in  Italy.  The 
postal  authorities,  for  instance,  refuse 
to  deliver  registered  letters  or  to  pay 
vaglia  postali  to  foreigners  who  cannot 
produce  a  passport  as  proof  of  identity. 

FEES.  Entrance  fees  are  not.required 
to  the  cathedrals;  but  admittance  gratis

only  by  students,  and  professors  of 
foreign-  archesological  institutes  in  Italy 
or  by  artista  and  the  like  bearing 
official  credentials.  Applications  must 
b^  written  on  stamped  forms  (00  c.)  and 
forwarded  to^the  directors  of^rovinoial 
museums  or  to  the  Director  General  of 
the  Fine  Art  Dept.  of  the  Ministry  of 
Education  in  Borne. 

MEDITERRANEAN  CRUISES.  Whoever 
wishes  to  see  the  beauties  of  the  piotur- 
eaqae  and  classical  Mediterranean  within 
a  limited  space  of  time  cannot  do  better 
than  to  make  use  of  one  of  the  pleasure 
steamers  of  the  "Hamburg -American 
Line**.  Passages  may  be  booked  either 
from  New- York,  Hamburg,  Naples  or 
Genoa;  though  most  of  the  boats  run 
from  the  last  of  these  ports. 

The  trips  are  arranged  according  to 
carefully  prepared  programs  which  afford 
the  tourist  an  opportunity  of  visiting  the 
most  interesting  districts  of  Italy,  Greece, 
the  Levant,  North  Africa  &o.  The  trips 
are  made  chiefly  on  the  "Meteor" ;  but  m 
some  cases  the*Prinze8sinLuise*'is  used, 
while  the  famous  Grand  Oriental  Cruise 
is  made  on  one  of  the  large  twin-screw 
Atlantic  liners,  such  as  the  *'Moitke*'.

CHIAVENNA  is  charmingly  situated 
on  the  banks  of  the  Mera  and  at 
the  entrance  to  the  Vale  of  Bregaglia. 
Here  meet  the  Splugen,  Maloja  and 
Septimer  Roads,  thus  rendering  the 
town  strategically  very  important. 
The  place  was  in  mediaeval  times 
the  seat  of  a  count  appointed  by  the 
Emperor.  Later  on  it  passed  into 
the  possession  of  the  Dukes  of  Milan 
by  whom  it  was  ceded,  in  1512,  to  the 
Orisons.  The  last  Orisons  governor  (de 
Salis)  commenced  building,  oa  one  of 
the  hills,  a  castle  whose  ruins  still 
remain  and  whose  garden,  called  il 
Paradiso,  commands  magnificent 
views  of  the  surrounding  mountains. 

Chiavenna  also  possesses  a  beau- 
tiful cathedral,  San  Lorenzo,  remark- 
able for  its  slender  campanile  and 
encircling  colonnade.  The  edifice 
contains,  in  the  baptistery  (admission, 
20  c),  a  12th  century  font  ornamented 
with  sculptured  figures  representing 
a  baptism.  There  is  also  a  fine  specimen 
of  13*1»  century  goldsmith's  work 
entitled  "la  Place*,  to  view  which, 
special  permission  must   be  obtained. 

To  the  left  of  the  church  a  street  runs 
through  a  strange  rock-gully  called  the 
"Caurga"  And  said  to  have  been  formed 
by  order  of  the  Viscounts  of  Milan. 

Certain  mountains  of  the  neighbour- 
hood (Tal  Capiola)  are  remarkable  for 
their  so-called  Giants*  Pots,  deep  holes 
Boored  in  the  bill-sides  by  anoient  glaciers.

MILAN,  the  commercial  capital  of 
Italy,  is  the  resort  of  great  numbers 
of   Germans,    Swiss    and    English. 


Though  an  exceedingly  ancient  place, 
the  numerous  conflicts  in  which  it 
has  been  engaged  have  destroyed 
nearly  all  buildings  of  an  earlier  date 
than  the  13th  cent.,  and  swept  away 
almost  all  indications  of  its  connection 
with  the  Romans,  by  whom  it  was 
conquered  in  the  year  222  B.  C. 
Demolished  more  than  once,  it  has 
each  time  been  rebuilt  with  greater 
splendour  than  before.  The  last  time 
was  subsequent  to  the  destruction 
of  the  city  in  1162  A.  D.  by 
Frederick  Barbarossa;  five  years 
after  which  it  was  re-erected  by  the 
neighbouring  cities  of  Verona,  Mantua, 
Brescia  and  Bergamo.  Indeed,  neither

Spanish  misrule,  nor  the  suppression 
by  Napoleon  have  sufficed  to  do  more 
than  retard  temporarily  the  growth  of 
this  perennial  city.  Its  remarkable 
geographical  situation  in  the  fruitful 
plains  of  Lombardy  and  near  the 
great  roads  and  passes  that  connect 
Italy  with  the  other  parts  of  Europe 
assttre  it  a  permanent  share  in  the 
prosperity  of  the  Continent,  a  share 
which  has,  in  recent  years,  been 
greatly  augmented  by  the  opening 
of  the  St  Gothard  Railway. 

A  few  buildings  of  the  early 
Christian  and  Romanesque  periods 
escaped  the  ravages  of  the  wars. 
These  are  the  Churches  of  St.  Lorenzo, 
StAmbrogio»  Sepolcro,  Celso,  Bahila 
and   Simpliciano.     But,    of  course, 


the  handsomest  buildings  are  those 
of  a  later  date,  the  most  prominent 
among  them  being  the  celebrated 

CATHEDRAL^commtTictd  in  1386 
from  designs  by  an  unknown  architect. 
It  is  a  magnificent  Gothic  structure, 
superbly  situated  on  the  Piazza  del 
Duomo  —  huge  in  proportions  and 
built  entirely  of  marble.  Decorated 
with  innumerable  turrets,  a  spire- 
crowned  dome  and  no  fewer  than  2,  ) 
marble  statues,  the  edifice  prod  i 
an  impression  never  to  be  forgo 
Indeed,  the  Milanese  may  well  \ 
forgiven  for  regarding  it  as  the  t 
wonder  of  the  world.  In  point  \ 
size  it  is  exceeded  only  by  St.  Pe  i 
at  Rome  and  by  Seville  Cathedral,

persons.  The  interior,  supported  bji 
52  columns  .and  itruciforhi  in  shape, 
has  nnuch  that  is  beautiful  and  more 
that  is  interesting, .  In  the  right  aisle, 
there  are  monuments  to  two  arch- 
bishops of  the  13th  and  1 4th  centuries, 
another  to  Marco  Carelli>  and  the 
sarcophagus  of  Archbishop  Aribert 
(jlih  cent.).  In  the  left  aisle,  there 
is  an' altar-piece  by  Barroccio  (1600) 
and"  a  painting  by  Zuccarro:  in  the 
neighbouring  chapel,  there  is  a  crucifix 
which  was  carried  by  Carlo  Borromeo 
during  the  plague  of  1576:  hard  by 
is  the  fort.  In  the  transept  hangs  a 
fine  bronze  candelabra  (13tli  cent;.)- 
To  the  right  stand  the  monuments  of 
Gabriele  and  Giacomo  de  Medici: 
close  by,  tickets  are  obtained  for 
visiting  the  roof,  from  which  a  mag- 
nifiCEtit  view  is  obtained,  including, 
in  fine  we^fllhcr,  Mont  Blanc,  St.  Bern-

The  beauty  of  the  cathedral  and  ihe 
view  it  affords  have  dinwn  f ]  0 m  Tt^  n  riy- 
son  the  following  glowing  tribute: —

of  Via  Alcssandro  is  the  ceiebrated 
Scalq  Theatre,  which,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  that  at  Naples,  is  the  largest 
in  Italy.  In  Via  Morone  is  the  Museo 
Poldi-Pezzoli«  consisting  of  a  valuable 
picture  gallery  and  collections  of 
antiquities  and  weapons  deposited  in 
a  tastefully  -  appointed  house.  Via 
Alessandro  Manzoni,  which  runs  down 
iq  Piazza  Cavour,  contains  the  Grand 
Ho<el  de  Milan,  and  is  one .  of  the 
finest  and  busiest  streets  in  the  city. 
From  this  beautifvil  square  along  the 
old  moat  to  the  left,  or  from  the 
theatre  down  Via  Giuseppe,  we  reach 
The  Palazzo  di  Brera,  a  museum 
of  sciences,  letters  and  arts  of  great 
celebrity.  Its  library  consists  of  some 
800,000  volumes,   and  its  collections 


of  coins  and  archaeological  specimens 
are  very^  extensive.  But  the  great 
interest  of  the  place  centres  in  its 
Picture  Gallery,  where  specimens 
will  be  found  of  Italian  paintings  from 
pre-Raphaelite  times  downwards,  to- 
gether with  works  of  foreign  schools, 
principally  Dutch  and  Flemish.  Among 
the  Italian  pictures  is  Raphael's  Spos^- 
Ifzio,  one  of  the  most  renowned  of 
the  great  master's  productions,  and 
considered  to  resemble,  in  many 
respects,  a  work  by  Perugino  under 
whom  Raphael  studied  after  his  fatl  '  ( 
death,  the  period  being  known  1 
that  of  'his  early  bad  style*. 

Across  the  moat  and  turning  »

S.  Marco  with  the  tombs  of  .

Cast£Uo,  the  otigmal  building  having 
been  erected  by  Galeazzo  IL  in  1368, 
Destroyed  in  1447,  it  was  re-erected 
by  the  Sforztt.  Some  years  since, 
Testorfttions  wera  commenced,  which 
however,  are  ^tiU  in  course  of  pro- 
gress. The  finest  part  of  the  structure 
is  the  Graat  Fa^ftde.  Near  the  castle 
is  situated  the  Norihern  Station  (iin^s 
for  the  takes  of  Maggiore  and  Como)^ 
Behind  the  castle  lies  the  Nuouo 
Farce,  at  the  further  end  of  which 
stands  the  Arco  della  Pace,  a  fine 
lOarbie  arch|  begun  under  Napoleon 
and    completed    under  the  Austrinos, 

From  the  castle,  we  re- cross  Foro 
Bonaparte,  and  pftss  down  the  hand- 
some street  called  Via  D ante  to  Piazza 
Mercanii,  where  the  Palazzo  della 
Ragione^  or  Palace  of  the  MiiyorSi 
is  situated.  Hence,  through  Via  di 
Ratti^  to 

The  BibUoiheca  Ambrosiatta,  a  far- 
famed  1  ihr ary  containing  ancient  iUu* 


minations,  some  palimpsests  and  other 
valuable  manuscripts.  Moreover,  in  Ih^i 
same  building,  Ih&re  is  an  important 
Piciure  Gallery,  in  which,  besides  | 
numerous  engravings,  there  is  a  col-j 
lection  of  paintings  by  old  masters. 

Adjoining  the  edifice  is  the  Chnrch\ 
of  S.  Sepolcro  (It^h  cent.):  while  in  j 
the  vicinity  is  the  Palazzo  Borromtctt, ' 
with  another  Picture  Gallery  con- 
sisting mostly  of  paintings  by  artisbj 
of  the  Lombard  school. 

Passing  northwards  to  Cor^*

5,  Mauri zio  made  interesting  by  Jti . 
frescoes ,  the  woric  of  Luini  and  i 
others.  Opposite  rises  the  Palazzo 
Lit  la;  wtule  further  along  the  str«et 
is  the 

Church  ofSantaMariadelleGrame, 
likewise  possessing  valuable  fre$co«i 
by  various  masters.  But  finer  than 
all  is  Leonardo  da  Vinci's  "Last

nastery (entrance  fee:  1  lire)  but  which 
is  now  used  as  barracks.  As  a  help

the  Church  of  S.  Amhrogio^  a  Ro-

Catullus  will  be  found  in  the  neigh- 
bourhood. Sirmione  may  be  reached 
by  steamer  from  Salo  in  1  hour. 

LAGO  PI  GARDA  is  the  largest  of 
the  Italian  lakes.  It  has  a  length  of 
Si  miles  and  a  breadth,  at  its  southern 
base,  of  about  11  miles,  tapering,  as  it 
runs  northwards  into  Austria,  to  a 
breadth  of  only  8  miles.  At  this  narrow 
part  the  mountain  scenery  is  of  a  very 
rugged  character,  with  sheer  cliffs  on 
the  wes^  side  rising  to  over  1,000  feet; 
while  on  the  east  coast  stands  Monte 
Baldo  with  a  height  of  7,216  feet.  To- 
wards the  south,  the  shores  assume  a 
softer  character.  The  mountains  retreat 
and  (tive  plaice  to  hills;  the  land  becomes 
rich  in  subtropical  vegetation,  and  the 
climate  mild  and.  equable. 

The  most  favourite  strip  of  coast  is 
that  lying  between  the  Bay  of  Salo  and 
the  river  Gargnano.    It  is  called  the 

BIVIRRAy  and  is  reached  by  various 
.excellent  routes,  viz.:—  From  the  north 
'.via  the  Brenner  and  Riva,  or  Munich 
by  the  Nord-SiJd  express  via  Verona 
and  Deaensano  (steamer);  from  the  west 
via  Milan  and  pesenzano;  while  for 
tourists  doing  various  towns,  tbero  is 
the  lailroad  via  Brescia  to  Salo. 

The  Lake  Garda  Blvlera,  like  its 
Xiigure^u  namesake,  is  a  warm  strip 
of.  coast  backed  by  mountains  which 
protect  it  from  the  bleak  winds  of  the 
north  and,  aided  by  the  presence  of  a 
large  mass  of  water,  render  the  climate 
exceptionally  mild  and  equable.  Bny- 
trees  of  great  height,  lemon  groves  of 
considerable  extent,  ever-greens  of  every 
.  variety  deck  the  slopes  of  the  hills  and 
overshadow  the  roads  almost  everywhere. 
It  is  to  these  cbarapteristics  that  the 
district  owes  its  rapid  development  as 
a  winter  resort  for  pleasure  seekers  as 
well  as  for  invalids.  The  centre  of  the 
place  is  Gardone  with  Salo  at  its  south- 
wes  ern  extremity  and  Gargnano  at  its 
northeastern.  The  coaat  is  divided  into 
two  roughly  equal  parts  by  the  river 
Toscolano,  on  whose  broad  delta  stand 
Toffcolano  and  Madermo;  while  midway 
between  the  last  town  and  Gardone 
proper  lies  Fasano.  These  various  places 
are  intimately  linked  together  and  are 
also  connected  with  Brescia  and  Tos- 
colano   by    a  B^eam    tramway;    while 


horse-cars  run  between  Fasano  and  ShI6 
Indeed,  in  many  respects  the  -different 
resorts  have  grown  together  in  similar 
manner  to  the  complex  known  as  Mon> 
treux  on  the  shores  of  Lake  Leman 
and  bid  fair  to  become  a  worthy  rival 
of  that  ^famous  resort.

This .  rapidly  growing  town  lies 
within  the  bay  of  Salo  and  has  rail- 
way, 'Steamer  and  tram  communi- 
cation in  various  directions.  .  The 
place  is  environed  with  lemon-groves 
and  is  one  of  the  healthiest  on  the 
coast,  being  thoroughly  protected  by 
the  mountains  behind  from  the  cold 
winds  of  the  north.  The  climate 
is  exceptionally  equable,  with  an 
average  temperature  of  13.7**  C.  and 
a  minimum  of  3.8^ C.  below  freezing- 
point.  The  barometric  pressure  is 
likewise  very  satisfactory  and  the  re- 
sort is  consequently  much  frequented 
by  nervous  patients,  —  especially  as 
there  is  an  almost  uninterrupted 
flood  of  sunlight  '  from  morning  till 
night.  .The  purity  of  the  atmosphere 
and  the  equability  of  the  elimate 
also  render  the  place  exceedingly 
beneficial  in  cases  of  brohcbiat  and 
laryngeal  complaints  and  it  is  also 
much  resorted  to  b^y  .gouty,  rheu- 
matic, dyspeptic  and  ansemic .  persons. 

Salo  is  an  ancient  place,  contain- 
ing a  town  hall  and  two  interesting 
churches.  The  Parish  Church  is 
remarkable  for  its  pictures  of  the 
Veronese  &  Brescian  schools,  the  a  t 
famous  of  which  are  the  "Adora  i 
of  the  Child"  by  Torbido  to  Ihe  i  t

GARDONE  —  called  also,  on  ac- 
count of  its  warm  climate,  Gardone- 
Riviera  —  lies  on  the  western  shore 
of  the  Lake  of  Garda,  and  consists 
of  eight  villages,  with  a  total  po- 
pulation of  about  1,500.  The  situ- 
ation is  exceedingly  beautiful.  Be- 
hind the  town  the  hills,  covered 
with  the  grey -green  foliage  of  the 
olives,  rise  gently  to  a  height  of 
1,313  feet.  To  the  E.  and  W.  of 
the  little  bay  in  which  the  town  is 
built,  stretch  the  deltas  of  two  moun- 
tain streams.  Behind  the  hills  that 
girt  the  town,  the  mountain  ridge  has 
an  elevation  varying  from  1,970  feet 
to  2,953  feet;  while  the  place  is^ 
sheltered  to  the  N.  by  Monte  Piz- 
zocolo  (5,194  ft.),  Monte  Spino  &c. 
To  the  N.  E.,  and  E.,  the  winds  are 
broken  by  Gargnano  and  the  mighty 
ridge  of  Monte  Baldo  (7,126  feet). 
The  climate  is  consequently  of  a 
very  mild  character  and,  together 
with  the  porosity  of  the  soil,  has 
^ndered  Gardone  one  of  the  best 
juipped  of  winter-resorts. 

The  favourite  excursions  are:—

FA-SAN 0  or  the  "health -giver", 
which  forms  the  eastern  half .  of 
Gardone- Riviera,  stretches  from  the 
Gorge  of  the  Wimmer  to  the  Valley  of 
the  Bornico.  It  is  of  more  recent  date 
than  Gardone  proper,  but  is  rapidly 
developing  and  bids  fair  to  take  a 
leading  place  among  the  resorts  of  the 
coast.  The  climate  is  exceptionally 
fine,  the  vegetation  quite  subtropical, 
and  the  locality  sheltered  &  tranquil, 

—  advantages  which  make  a  stay  at 
the  place  very  agreeable. 

EXCUBSIONS:  (l)Toseolano  Gorge 
(4  km.),  on  foot  or  by  carringe.  The 
gorge  is  3  km.  long.  In  the  bed  of  the 
stream  enormous  blocks  lie  scattered 
in  wild  confusion.  The  view  is  shut  in 
by  Honte  Castello.  (2)  From  the  gorge 
a  road,  indicated  by  red  marks,  leads 
up  to  Gaino  (L  km.),  with  old  church 
and  beautiful  cypresses.  Gaino  com- 
mands a  fine  view  of  the  lake.  (3)  Along 
the  Lorbeerwog  (marks:  8  blue  dots),

BOGLIACO  lies  on  the  coast 
6  kilometres  from  Toscolano.  The 
road,  which  runs  at  a  considerable 
height  above  the  shore,  traverses 
one  of  the  loveliest  districts  of  the 
Riviera  di  Garda.  Its  olives,  bay- 
trees  and  aloes,  reflected  in  the  blue 
waters  below,  render  the  landscape 
characteristically  Italian.  The  village 
itself  is  a  charming  spot  belonging 
to  Gargnano  and  forming  a  much- 
favoured  winter -resort.  In  it  stands 
the  famous  mansion  of  Count  Bettoni 
of  Brescia,  —  a  magnificent  structure 
containing  a  fine  gallery  of  pictures 
and  other  works  of  art:  the  paintings 
include  specimens  of  Guido  Reni, 
Correggio,  Durer  &c.  The  building 
is  open  to  the  public.  Bogliaco  also 
contains  a  church  with  pictures  of 
considerable  interest.  Needless  to  say 
the  views  obUined  from  the  resort  itself 
as  weU  as  from  the  famous  spots  of  the 
immediate  vicinity,  are  very  beautiful.

Piazza  delle  Brbe  which,  once  the 
forum,  18  still  used  as  a  market-place. 
At  its  northern  end,  there  is  a  marble 
column  with  the  Trezza  Palace  ^ 
a  Barocco  building  —  opposite.  An 
older  structure  is  Mazzanii  House, 
where  Albertino  della  Sciala  lived  in 
the  Idth  cent.  Here,  too,  there  is  an 
ancient  fountain,  the  Tribuna  and  the 
Municipio,  with  a  fine  tower  275  feet 
in  height  Hence,  across  the  beauti- 
ful Piazza  dei  Signori,  with  its 
interesting  old  buildings  to 

Palazzo  del  Consiglio,  a  14tb 
cent  structure  designed  by  Fra  Gio- 
condo,  and  considered  one  of  the 
best  specimens  of  early-Renaissance 
in  Italy:  it  is  decorated  with  numer- 
ous statues  and  busts.  Hard  by  is 
the  Church  of  Santa  Maria  Anlica 
possessing  a  Romanesque  spire  and 
containing  the  beautiful  Gothic  tombs 
of  the  Scaligeri. 

At  the  end  of  Corso  Sant'  Ana- 
stasia  stands  a  splendid  Dominican 
Church  in  Gothic  style  and  com- 
menced in  the  middle  of  the  13th  cent 
The  interior  is  exceptionally  harmonious 
and  beautiful,  and  contains  a  number 
of  interesting  works  of  art  including 
several  altars  and  frescoes. 

But  perhaps  the  most  striking 
church  is 

The  Cathedral,  at  the  end  of  Via 
Duomo   and   close   to   the    bank    of 
the   river,    where    it   forms    a   sharp 
i     between    Ponte    Pietra     and 
ite    Garibaldi.     The    construction 
:he  building  lasted  through  several 
turies:    the  fa9ade   and  choir  are 
manesque,  the  rest  of  the  building 
thic.   The  naves  and  aisles  are  sup- 
led  by  eight  columns  of  red  marble: 
rood-loft,   likewise   of  marble,   is 
elegant;    and   the  walls  are  de- 


corated with  fine  frescoes;  while,  above 
the  first  altar,  there  is  a  picture  of 
the  ^'Assumption"  by  Titian. 

Adjoining  the  cathedral  are  a  12tti 
cent  baptistery,  the  Pal.  dei  Canonici 
(with  valuable  library),  and  tho 
bishop's  palace.  In  the  neighbour- 
hood, there  are  several  other  old 
mansions;  while,  at  the  end  of  Via 
S.  Eufemia  is  the  church  of  the  samt 
name.  Close  by  is  the  Porta  dt 
Borsart  forming  the  entrance  to  Cort^ 
Cavour,  filled  with  fine  palaces,  and, 
perhaps,  the  handsomest  street  in 
the  city.  At  the  further  end  stands 
Castel  Vecchio,  where  we  turn  to 
the  left,  past  Pal.  Perez  to  tho 
Teatro  Filarmonico  and  the  Musi^ 
Lapidario,  the  latter  containing  valu- 
able collections  of  ancient  sculpture. 
Beyond  is  the  gateway  which  gives 
entrance  to  the  Piazza  Vittorio  Emanuolo 
with  its  far-famed  Arena  erected  under 
the  Emperor  Diocletian  at  the  close  ef 
the  3rd  cent  It  is  a  large  structure 
capable  of  seating  70,000  spectators 
and  affording  a  fine  view.  To  the  east, 
there  is  a  portion  of  the  Roman  Wall; 
while,  to  the  west  rises  the  Municipio* 
Among  many  other  interesting  spots 
of  the  inner  town,  is  the  house 
of  the  Capulets  where  Shakspere's 
Juliet  lived:  it  is  at  19  Via  Cappello» 
and  close  to  Piazza  Brbe.  'Juligfs 
Tomb'  stands  in  the  old  Franciscan 
Monastery  at  Via  Cappuccini. 

In  the  more  outlying  districts  of 
the  town  will  be  found  the  following 
buildings,  namely:— 

Church  of  Bernardino,  a  15th  cent 
structure  in  the  west  of  the  city  and 
containing  interesting  frescoes  and 
altars.  Beyond  it  rises  the  beautlftil 
Romanesque

PADUA  is  an  ancient  city,  which 
traces  its  origin  to  Antenor.  Undc^r 
Augustas  it  became  one  of  the  weal- 
thiest cities  in  Italy;  while,  daring  the 
middle-ages,  its  nniversity,  founded  in 
1223,  was  one  of  the  most  famous  in 
Europe,  having  been  the  only  one  in 
Italy  where  scholasticism  obtained  any 
firm  footing.  Moreover,  it  was  later  the 
residence  of  Daatey  whose  honae  will  be 
found  at  Ko.  8,369  Ponte  San  Lorenzo. 
Here,  Dante  and  Oiotto  met.  In  front 
of  the  house,  too.  there  ia  a  aareophagus 
•aid  to  eontain  tlie  remains  of  the 
mythical  founder  of  Padua. 


The  present  city,  with  its  narrow 
and  crooked  streets,  is  built  upon 
various  arms  of  the  Bac(^fg1tone : 
these  are  spanned  by  innumerable 
bridges,  many  of  which  date  from. 
Roman  times.  It  is  surrounded  with 
fortified  wails,  outside  which,  for  th^ 
most  part,  flows  the  river  or  the  canal.; 
The  princioal  buildings  are:— 

The  Cathedral,  a  late  -  Benaieaaaoa^ 
structure  containing  various  works  of- 
art^  The  Unirersity  is  called  II  B6, 
after'*a  tavern  which  stood  close  bv. 
The  Chareh  of  S«  AntoaiOy  parUy  Qothlo^ 
partly  Bysantine,  possesses  an  ex- 
ceptionally interesting  interior  filled 
with  worJm  of  art  by  Donatello  and 
numerous  other  painters  and  acnlptors 
of  16  tk  and  16  tb  centarie&  Donatello** 
'Wooden  Horse*  will  be  found  in  the 
Palaiio  della  Bagioae.  The  Senola  del 
Santo  contains  a  number  of  frescoes, 
three  of  them  being  by  Titian.  The 
Blnseo  Civico  is  the  depository  of  tha 
Municipal  Library,  the  Archives  and 
Picture  Qallery,  —  the  last  including  a 
number  of  valuable  paintings.  Thfr 
Erlmitanl  is  a  church  dating  from  the 
IStii  cent,  and  situated  to  the  N.  B.  of  the 
town.  It  contains  a  number  of  famous 
frescoes;  while  the  altar-piece  in  the 
Sacristy  is  by  Quido  Beni.  Hard  by  is 
Madonna  del  Avena^  a  church  stand- 
ing in  a  garden  that  forms  the  site  of 
an  ancient  amphitheatre.  Built  in  1803, 
it  was  decorated,  a  few  years  later,  with 
frescoes  by  Giotto.  It  ia  this  wonderful 
series  of  paintings  that  has  rendered 
the  building  so  famous,  and  made  it  one 
of  the  greatest  attractions  of  the  city. 
Between  a  large  part  of  the  town  and 
the  surrounding  walls,  there  are  pleasant 
plantations;  and,  in  the  south-eastern 
corner,  there  is  the  oldest  botanical 
garden  in  Europe.

ii  built  upon  soine  1^20  islands  lying 


of  the  mainland  of  Italy  in  a  well- 
jsheltered  bay  called  Laguna  Viva^ 
Daring  the  flourishing  days  of  thok 
DOkedom,  its  population  numbered 
200,000;  and  its  trade,  which  lay 
principally  in  the  Orient,  attained 
vast  proportions.  In  its  political, 
social  and  artistic  development,  it 
was  quite  independent  of  the  nsain- 
land  of  Italy,  having  been  influenced 
rather  by  Byzantium  and  the  East. 
After  its  incorporation  with  Austria^ 
it  sank  both  in  importance  arid  ia 
population,  the  number  of  its  in- 
habitants falling  below  100,0(X).  But 
since  the  uniflcation  of  Italy,  it  has 
ontered  upon  a  mqre  prosperous  .peno4 ;

The  islands  on  which  the  city 
stands  fall  into  two  main  groups, 
severed  by  the  S-shaped  Grand  Canal : 
the  third  group  consists  of  La  Giudecca 
and  S.  Giorgio  Maggiore.  Among 
these  islands,  innumerable  gondolas 
thread  their  way  through  the  canals/ 
replacing  the  cabs  with  which  one  is 
familiar  in  other  cities.  In  the  short 
streets,  the  absence  of  horses  and 
vehicles  is  very  striking,  and,  indeed* 
life,  as  a  whole  in  Venice  is  one 
of  great  novel^  and  charm  to  the 
new-comer. 

In  visiting  the  city,  the  simplest 
way  is  to  hire  a  gondola  by  the 
day  or  the  week  (30  /O-  the  gon- 
dolier then  acts  as  cicerone  to  the 
many  remarkable  and  beautiful  build- 
ings, of  which  ■  the.  most  importaht 
are  ttiQse '  on  the  famous  St  Mark's 
Square.  The  oldest  monument,  the 
hoary  and  efeg;ant  Campanile,  which 
for  more  than  ^  eight  centuries-  had 
watched  over  the  city,  is  gone.  It 
was  a '  tall  slim  to weir^ef ecled  in.  the 
1 2th  century  and  fitted  "witfe  a  bell 
to!  warn  <  the  city  of  appj*6a$hing 
peiril.  At  that  time  Vehicle"  xas  a 
purely  commercial  place :  its  art  'was 
scarcely  in  the  bud ;  and  this  structure 
consequently  became  the  prime  im- 
pulse for  tlfe^  development  of  its 
wonderful  and  unique  architectaral 
style.  Pour  centuries  later,  when 
Venetian  art  was  in  full  bloom,* 
Sansovino  added  the  delicately  be- 
autiful Loggia  which,  forming  an 
orpament  to  the  tower,  relieved  its 
somewhat  severe  outlind  and  brought 
it  into  keeping  with  the  more  elaborate 
edifices  which  surrounded  it.  When, 
in  July  1902,  the  aged  walls  of  the 
belfry  tottered  and  gave  way,  the 
colossus  crashed  to  the  ground  carrying 
with  it  Sanso vino's  beautiful  design 
and  Bartolommeo*s  marble  angel,  and 
forming  but  a  heap  of  debris,  100  feet 
in   height,    as   the  sole   evidence    of 


that  ^  celebrated  ornament  which  had 
so  long  been  the  great  boast. of  the 
Adriatic  queen. 

Fortunately  few  other  buildings 
were  affected;  and  those  damaged, 
such  as  the  Procuraiic^  the  Library 
&c.,  are  being  rapidly  repaired,  while 
the  tower  ajid  loggia  themselves  are 
being  re-erected. 

The  Church  of  SK  Marco  remain- 
ed practically  untouched  by  the  cata- 
strophe. It  is  a  Romanesque  basilica 
commenced  about  the  year  830.  In- 
jured by  fire  in  the  following  century, 
it  was  then  rebuilt;  while,  200  years 
later,  it  experienced  a  reconstruction 
on  Byzantine  lines,  and  received 
several  Gothic  additions  in  the  15*^ 
century.  The  beauty  of  the  structure 
and  especially  its  colour- effects  called 
forth  the  warm  praise  of  Ruskin.  The 
oriental  magnificence  of  the  ihterior, 
with  its  sumptuous  and  jewelled 
decorations,  its  mosaics,  altars  and 
reliefs,  seems  to  transfer  us  to  the 
East  Under  the  high-altar,  which 
is  borne  by  four  columns  of  marble, 
the  remains  of  St.  Mark  are  liid:  in 
the '  Cappella^  Zeno  is  the  beautiful 
monument  to'  Cardinal  Zeno,  together 
with  a  lifesize  figure,  and  fine, 
canopied  iiltar.  The  treasury  contains 
two  silver  candelabras  iii  Gotbic 
style,  and  other  interesting  objects; 
finally,  the  crypts,  which  fcirm, 
perhaps,  the  oldest  portion  of  the 
building,  should  be  visited  for  their 
columns  and  marble  railings. 

The  Palace  of  the  Doges  is 
perhaps  the  most  celebrated  build- 
ing in  Venice.  Founded  probably  at 
the  opening  of  the  9th  cent.,  it 
five  times  fell  a  prey  to  the  flames, 
but  rose  each  time  in  greater 
splendour  than  before.  Parts  f 
the  former  buildings  appear,  howc  ', 
to  have  been  retained.  Thus,  e 
southern  part  is  14th  century  W(  ; 
the  Western  facade  100  years  1;  ; 
while,  in  the  porch  next  St.  Mai  i, 
it  will  be  observed  that  the  ei  - 
Renaissance  is  still  under  the  influ      t 


of  the  Gothio.  The  fafade,  here,  is  by 
Bergamasco  {^:  D.  1520);  while  the 
court-yard,  and  perhaps  the  eastern 
fa9ade,  are  by  Rizzo  (A.  D.  1480—90). 
Among  the  figures  a(iorping  the  build- 
ing, the  most  interesting  are  those  of 
Numa,  Pompihus,  Scipio,  Trajan,  and 
Moses:  above  them  is  the  'Judgement 
of  Solomon';  while,  at  the  corner,  are 
the  figures  of  Adam  and  Eve.  But,  if 
the  exterior  is  fine,  the  interior  is  still 
finer.  The  atrio,  the  Anticollegio  and 
the  seven  saloons  are  of  the  most 
superb  and  ornate  character.  Painted 
ceilings,  richly  carved  chimney  pieces, 
pictures  and  frescoes  meet  the  glance  at 
every  turn.  Of  the  many  artists  whose 
works  are  richly  represented  here,  the 
most  celebrated  are  Titian,  Contarini, 
Paolo  Veronese  and  the  Tintorettos. 
Space  forbids  any  enumeration  or.des-^ 
cription  here;  but.  lists  of  the  pictures 
will  be  found  in  each  room  of  the  build- 
ing. Moreover,  the  place  contains  the 
famous  Library  of  St.  Mark  (350,000 
vols,  and  10,000  MSS.),  with  its  early 
copy  of  Dante  and  magnificent  Byzan; 
tine  bookbindings.  There  is  also  an 
ArchcRological  Museum  containing 
numerous  Greek  &  Roman  sculptures  &c. 
The  canal  between  the  Palace  and 
the  Prison  is  spanned  by  the  cele- 
brated or  perhaps,  better,  notorious 
Bridge  of  Sighs,  which  is  too  well 
known  to  call  for  comment. 

The    Academy     contains     many 

pictures  from  various  schools,  .though 

the  Venetian  is,   naturally,    the  most 

fully  represented.     Bellini  is  the  most 

celebrated     master:     there    are    also 

several  pictures  by  Titian,    of  which 

the  best  is  that  of  the  Assumption^ 

Next  to  the  Bridge  of  Sighs  men- 

oned    above,   the   most    famous   is

The  Church  of  5.  Giovanni  Cri" 
sostomo  IB  a  Renaissance  building 
erected  at  the  close  of  the  i5th  century. 
It  contains  an  excellent  work  by  John' 
Bellini  besides  some  paintings  by  other 
masters. 

The  Palazzo  Giovanelli  is  another 
15th  century  structure  and  likewise 
contains,  among  other  works,  a  paint- 
ing by  Bellini. 

In  the  Madonna  delV  Orto,  a  fine 
late-Gothic  edifice,  there. are  a  con- 
siderable number  of  paintings  em- 
bracin_g  productions  of  van  Dyck's,  S. 
Croce's,  Tintoretto's  and  Bellini's. 

The  Jesuit  Church  is. a  Barocco 
building,  richly  embellished,  —  the 
interior  belQg  of  inlaid  marble  through- 
out: it  contains  works  by  Titian, 
Tintoretto  and  Campagna. 

The  Church  of  S.  Zaccaria  in  the 
Transitional  style  is  decorated  with 
paintings  by  Bellini,  Tintoretto  &c. 
and  with  statues  by  Vittoria,  whose 
tomb  is  surmounted  by  a  bust  of  the 
sculptor  executed  by  his  own  hand. 

Santa  Maria  Formosa,  a  cruci- 
form structure  with  dome  and  cupolas, 
is  another  church  filled  with  altar- 
pieces  and  frescoes. 

The  Church  of  Sts.  Giovanni  and 
Paolo  is  one  of  the  finest  in  Venice. 
It  is. a  Gothic  building  borne  upon 
ten  columns  and  surmounted  by  a 
dome.  The  funerals  of  the  doges 
used  to  take  place  here;  and  the 
church  contains  their  monumental 
tombs.  Many  of  these  are  of  a  most 
sumptuous  character  and  render  th<» 
church  unique  in  character. 

Adjoining  the  church  is  the  Scuola 
di  S.  Marco,  now  used  as  a  hospital. 

In  this  neighbourhood  are  the 
Churches  of  Santa  Maria  dei  Mira- 
coli,  of  5.  Francesco  delta  Vigna, 
of  S,  Giorgi  degli  Schiavoni  and 
that  of  S.  Giovanni  in  Bragora. 

To  the  east  lies  the  Arsenal  and 
Docks,  both  of  which,  together  with 
the  Armory,  may  be  visited  by  per- 
mission from  the  Admiralty. 

On  the  western  side  of  the  Grand 

^  40» 


Canal  stands  the  church  of  S.  Giovanni 
Elemostnario,  with  celebrated  altar- 
piece  by  Titian.  In  the  same  district 
are  the  churches  of  5.  Cassiano,  and 
of  Santa  Maria  Mater  Domini: 
while,  northwestwards,  is  the 

Mnseo  Civieo,  containing  various 
collections,  which  include  antiquities, 
works  of  art  and  a  picture-gallery  of 
comparatively  small  dimensions  but 
of  considerable  interest 

On  the  canal  called  R.  dellaPrescada, 
stands  the'  Scnola  di  S.  Rocco,  in 
which  are  the  council  chambers  of 
the  Franciscans.  The  structure  is, 
in  many  parts,  very  handsome.  The 
facade  is  magnificent;  and  the  halls 
and  staircase  are  decorated  with 
frescoes  by  J.  Tintoretto.  In  other 
chambers,  there  are  works  by  Titian, 
Campagna  &c.  In  the  adjacent  church 
of  iS.  Rooco,  there  are  likewise  several 
of  Tintoretto's  paintings  as  well  as 
some   productions  by  other  masters. 

Opposite  the  latter  edifice  rises  the 
Franciscan  church,  commonly  styled  the 

Frari:  it  is  a  14thcenturj%  cruciform 
building,  in  which  repose  the  remains  of 
many  celebrated  persons.  The  interior 
is  vaulted  Gothic  and  is  embellished 
with  numerous  fine  reliefs,  statues  and 
paintings,  the  most  noteworthy  being 
Titian's    'Madonna   di  Casa  Pesaro*. 

On  the  other  side  of  the  Frescada 
Canal  stands  the  church  of  5 
Pantaleone;  while,  further  south,  is 
that  of  Santa  Maria  del  Carmine,  con- 
taining a  bronze  relief  by  Verrocchio 
and  paintings  by  Tintoretto,  Lotto  and 
Cima  da  Conegliano.  Still  further  south

16th  century  church  of  S.  Sebastiano, 

It  possesses  many  specimens  of 
Veronese's  works,  a  painting  by 
Titian,  executed  at  86  years  of  age, 
and  several  other  artistic  productions.

TURIN,  a  city  founded  in  prehist  ic 
times,  has  experienced  many  vici  i- 
tudes.  Destroyed  by  Hannibal,  it  ^  ls 
rebuilt  in  very  regular  form  ur  &r 
Augustus.  Afterwards  the  capita  pf 
Piedmont,  it  subsequently  came  ur  er 
the  dominion  or  the  Dukes  of  Sa  ^y 
and,  during  the  16th  cent.,  was  '    ti- 


630 


fled  by  Francis  I.  A  century  later, 
the  old  rectangle  of  Augustus  was 
greatly  extended,  his  plans,  however, 
being  strictly  adhered  to;  so  that,  at 
the  present  day,  the  city  presents  a 
most  regular  appearance  which  gives 
it  quite  a  different  aspect  from  that 
of  other  Italian  towns.     ; 

Turin  was  the  centre  of  the  move- 
ment which  led  to  the  unification  of 
Italy,  and,  since  the  re-development 
of  the  country  set  in,  has  experienced 
a  great  rise  in  its  prosperity, 
.  The  modem  town  consists  of  square 
blocks  and  stndght  streets.  Its  principal 


Sromenades  are  in  the  N.B.  One  of  them, 
orso  Begins  Hsrfherits,  begins  at  a 
reach  pZthe  Dora  ri^er  and  ends  at  Ponte 


R*  ICargherita,  a  bridge  crossing  the  Po, 
on  whose  lett  bank  the  city  lies.  From 
the  mi«ldle  of  this  Oorso,  another,  named 
dl  San  Hoarisiey  branches  off  at  the  spot 
where  the  Zoological  Garden  is  situated. 
Parallel  with  the  Cono  B*  Margherita, 
nms  the   Via  C^aribaldi,    commencing 


at  Pisssa  dello  Ststnto  opposite  BitoU 
Railway  Station  and  deboaohing  on  to 
Piasss  CastellOy  which  forms  the  centre 
of  the  city's  traffic.  The  farther  side 
of  the  square  is  connected  with  Corso 
Manoixio  by  the  fine  TUla  della  Zeeea* 
From  the  P*  Gastello,  a  street,  named 
Via  Lagrange,  dissects  the  city,  and 
debouches  at  the  Central  Station  in  the 
Corso  Tittorlo  Enanaele.  At  the  end 
of  this  last,  lie  the  Glsrdlno  Pabblieo 
and  Botanical  Oardensc  while  a  bridge 
joins  Turin  to  the  heights  beyond  the 
river.  One  of  the  hills  is  crowned  by 
an  old  Capuchin  Church.  The  ascent 
is  best  made  by  the  ^ikmleolare*  near 
the  Ponte  la  Pletra. 

The  Plasxa  Tittorlo  Kmanaele  and  TU 
dl  Po  eonneot  this  bridge  with  Piassa 
Gastello.  Inandaroaad  this  last  square 
are  grouped  some  of  the  principal  build- 
ings of  tha  plage.  .The  centre  of  the 
square  Is  60cupied  by  Pslasse  JUdama^

Its  finest  edifice  is  the 

Cathedral,  a  Romanesque  structure 
which  was  in  course  of  erection  from 
about  1050  —  1250.  It  is  a  cruciform 
building,  with  three  portals  decorated 
with  six  lions  and  other  sculptures. 
The  interior  of  the  dome  is  embel-

vaulting  of  the  nave  was  painted  by

works  of  art,  such  as  the  altar  by 
Clementi,  an  altar-piece  by  Gatti  8lc. 

Hard  by  is  the  Baptistery  in  similar

is  flat,  bears  seven  turrets  and  a  17*h

BOLOGNA,  now  chiefly  famous  for 
its  music,  its  interesting  relics  and 
ancient  edifices,  was  founded  in  pre- 
historic times.  First  l^nown  as  an 
Etruscan  city,  it  was  afterwards  sub* 
dued  by  the  Gauls,  from  whom  it 
received  the  name  of  Bononia.  Later 
a  partisan  with  Hannibal  in  tho  Punic 
wars,  it  became  incorporated  in  the 
Roman  Empire,  and  after  its  colonisa- 
tion by  the  mistress  of  the  ancient 
world,  rapidly  increased  in  importance. 
But  it  was  not  until  after  the  establish* 
ment  of  its  University,  about  the 
5th  cent.,  that  it  attained  its  greatest 
celebrity.  This  seat  of  learning  was 
very  celebrated  for  its  cathedra  juris 
and  its  endowments  for  poor  scholars 
instituted  by  munificent  patrons  during 
the  12fch  and  \Z^  centuries.  The 
number  of  its  students  during  this 
period  is  said  to  have  reached  10,000; 
while  many  household  names  are 
connected  with  the  university,  the  most 
celebrated  being,  perhaps,  that  of 
Galvani,  who  made  his  famous  dis- 
covery here  in  178^. 

Bologna  espoused  the  cause  of  the 
Guelphs  in  the  great  mediaeval  feud 
and,  having  passed  through  the  many 
vicissitudes  which  for  300  years  rent 


md  dismembered  Italy,  joined  the 
modem  kingdom  in  1859. 

The  art  of  the  city  is  of  a  very 
late  period;  and  it  owes  few  of  its 
edifices,  sculptures  or  paintings  to 
native  masters.  Nevertheless,  numerous 
artists  from  other  cities  flocked  hither, 
and  the  place  contains  about  130 
churches  besides  other  important 
buildings,  of  which  the  most  note- 
worthy are  the  follQwing:— 

The  whole  western  side  of  the 
Piazza  Nettuno  —  named  after  Gio- 
vanni's Fountain  —  is  occupied  by  the 

Palazzo  Municipale,  formerly  the 
residence  of  the  Papal  representa- 
tive. Above  the  gateway,  there  is  a 
fine  bronze  statue  of  Gregory  XIII.; 
while  a  terra  -  eotta  Madonna  and 
Child  between  the  upper  windows 
is  worth  noting.  The  interior 
contains   some    fine  apartments  with 


a  fresco  by  Franc  ia  anU  a  cudgu; 
staircase  by  Bra m ante. 

Another  side  of  the  T'mtza,  is  bor- 
dered by 

The  Palazzo  del  Podetia,  an  Uth 
cent  building  of  historic  fame,  in 
which  King  Enzo  was  imprisoned. 
It  is  decorated  with  a  variety  of  ro- 
settes; and  its  columns  are  orna- 
mented with  flag  holders. 

The  handsome  arcade  on  the  north 
side  of  the  Piazza  leads  into  Via 
Spaderie,  at  right  angles  to  which  is 
the  Via  Orefici,  so  named  from  its 
line  of  jewellers'  shops,  each  bearing 
an  <ancient  sign,  such  as  an  elephant, 
a  pigeon  or  a  wheel. 

To  the  south,  a  portico  —  bor- 
dering San  Petronio,  Museo  Civico 
and  other  build mgs  —  contains  the 
finest  shops  in  the  city  and  forms 
a  pleasant  promenade.

^  In  the  Archiginnasio  Antico,  for- 
merly the  seat  of  a  University,  the- 
BihlioUca  Communale  of  240,000 
volumes  and  2,700  MSS.  is  now  de- 
posited. It  also  contains  an  ana- 
tomical theatre  with  a  famous  ceiling 
in  cedar  •  wood.  In  this  room  the 
first  dissections'  of  the  human  body 
were  made.  It  was  in  this  univer- 
sity, that  Galvani  lectured ;  and  here, 
too,  lady  professors  were  first  re- 
cognised. 

Some  little  distance  from  the  Archi- 
ginnasio is  the  fine  old  Palazzo 
Bevilacqua,  a  private  residence  in 
exceptionally  pure  style.  In  the  great 
hall  on.  the  first  floor  the  famous 
council  of  Trent  assembled    in  1547. 

At  the  end  of  the  Archiginnasio 
.  Arcades  stands  the  Banca  d*Italia, 
with  a  bust  of  Cavour  on  the  square 
in  front.  A  little  further  on  is  the 
Palazzo  di  Giusiizia,  with  a  grand 
staircase  and  some  fine  frescoes  by 
Franceschini. 

The  church  of  San  Dominico  is 
a  dome-covered  Romanesque  building, 
dating  from  the  13th  cent  and  con- 
taining the  tombs  of  Guido  Reni  and 
Elisabetta  Sirani,  both  of  whom 
assisted  in  the  decoration  of  the 
building;  other  artists  whose  works 
embellish  the  place  are  Pisano,  Alfonso 
Lombardi,  Tiarini  and  Michael  Angelo, 
who  fled  hither  from  Florence. 

The  CoUegio  di  Spagna  possesses 
a  fine  frescoed  court  and  an  interior 
embellished  with  paintings. 

Santo  Stefano  is  a  septet  of  build- 
ings possessing  but  little  of  interest 
from  an  artistic  point  view;  though 
some  of  the  churches  contain  frescoes 
and  paintings  that  are  worth  atten- 
tion. 
:  In  Piazza  di  Ravegnana,  there  are 
two  leaning  towers  called  Torre 
Asinelli  and  Torre  Garisenda  (A.  D. 
1110),  the  former  commanding  a 
magnificent  view,  —  the  latter  men- 
tioned by  Dante  in  his  Inferno. 

San  Bariolomeo,  close  by,  is  a 
handsome  church,  elaborately  frescoed 


and   notioeable    for    ib    Virgin    and 
Chitd  by  Reni. 

San  Giovanni  in  Monte  \s  %  ytry 
old  structure  in  Gothic  style:  the 
body  of  the  building  was  erected 
about  1440,  the  dome  and  tower 
being  of  later  date.  The  interior 
possesses  works  oif  art  that  deserve 
notice. 

Palazzo.  Sampieri  contains  a 
number  of  frescoes,  the  finest  being 
those  by  Carracci  and  Guercino.  The 
adjoining  house  was  built  for  the 
composer  Rossini. 

Santa  Matia  dei  Servi  is  a  Gothic 
church  designed  by  Fra  Andrea  Mah- 
fredi  and  embellished  with  a  beautiful 
arcade,  reliefs  and  frescoes,  —  the 
last  by  Guido  Reni. 

Santi  Vitale  ed  Agricola  is  a 
very  ancient  church  with  beautiful 
altar-piece  and  a  few  frescoes. 

The  church  of  San  Giacomo  Mag- 
giore  was  begun  in  the  13th  cent.,  but 
most  of  it  belongs  to  the  15th  cent. 
The  frescoes  and  other  paintings  in 
the  interior  are  of  considerable  value, 
the  most  striking  being  those  by 
Carracci,  Francia  Costa  and  Nicola 
dell'Arca. 

Santa  Cecilia  likewise  contains 
excellent  frescoes  by  Francia  Costa 
and  others. 

The  University  has  had  its  seal 
for  the  past  hundred  years  in  the 
Palazzo  Cellisi,  from  the  tower  of 
which  a  fine  prospect  is  obtained. 
The  number  of  students  is  now  1 ,500  » 
(cf.  above) :  there  are  five  faculties ; 
and  the  library,  with  its  170,000 
volumes  and  6,000  MSS.,  is  of  con- 
siderable value. 

The  Accademia  delle  belle  Arti 
is  in  the  old  Jesuits'  College.  The 
Picture  Gallery  is  arranged  in  various 
rooms,  of  which  the  principal  are 
named  Francia,  RafTaello,  Tiarini^ 
Carracci  and  Reni,  after  the  artists 
whose  works  severally  predominate 
in  them.  Of  Raphael's  productions 
the  most  important  is  tbo  beautiful 
picture  of  St.  Cecilia. 
fi35 


A  QoHection  formad  by  Zambeccari 
hat  recently  been  added;  while  there 
is  also  a  very  valuable  collection  of 
engravings  and  paintings  by  living 
masters. 

San  PUtro,  in  the  centre  of  the 
city  is  a  cathedral  church,  rebuilt  in 
1605,  with  a  grand  but  heavy  front 
facing  towards  the  Via  Indipcndenza 
and  containing  an  immense  fresco  of 
the  "Annunciation"  by  Carracci.  On 
the  Saturday  preceding  Ascension  Day 
the  Madonna  di  San  Luca  is  carried 
hither  in  solemn  procession  from  the 
neighbouring  mountain  and  remains 
.till  after  the  feast. 

Other  edifices  of  note  are  the 
churches  of  the  Madonna  di  S.  Luca 
just  mentioned,  San  MichcU  in  Bosco, 
that  of  Certosa  (which  stands  on  the 
ancioit  burial  ground  of  the  Etrurians) 
and  those  of  S,  CaUrina  (pictures  by 
Carracci  and  Franceschini),  iS.  Paolo, 
Ex,  St.  Spirito,  Santa  Maria  dcllc 
Misitricordia  and  San  Martina  Mag- 
fiofi,  the  last  two  containing  works 
OY  Francia  and  Costa. 

Besides  the  feast  described  above, 
there  is  another  peculiar  to  Bologna 
—  the  Festa  dell'Adobbo,  which 
takes  place  on  the  second  and  third 
Sundays  of  June  every  tenth  year. 
Presents  of  new  clothes  are  then 
made  by  the  rich  to  poor  children: 
every  house  is  redecorated  or,  at  least, 
white-washed;  and  a  procession  takes 
place  through  the  streets,  all  of  which 
are  decked  with  flowers  and  plants, 
this  custom  being  one  of  the  causes 
of  the  cleanliness  of  the  city.

RAVENNA  is  an  aneient  town  which,

inland  by  the  silting  going  on  at  the

interest  than  the  building  itsoll  is  the

the  church,  but  were  tranef erred  to  the

BRINDISI,  famous  in  Roman  days 
as  Brun^lisium,  has  retained  but  few 
marks  of  its  former  celebrity.  Two 
fine  columns,  said  to  indicate  the 
termination  of  the  Via  Appia,  are  the 
most  important  relics  of  the  Roman 
period.  An  incomplete  inscription  on 
one  of  them  refers  to  the  rebuilder 
of  the  city  after  the  Saracen  irruption, 
or  the  mediseval  monuments  the  most 
noteworthy  are  the  Castle  commenced 
by  the  Emperor  Frederick  II.,  the 
Cathedral,  and  the  church  of  San 
Giovanni, 

But  the  importance  of  the  place 
lies  in  its  harbour  and  its  situation 
on  the  direct  route  between  Northern 
and  Central  Europe  and  the  Orient, 
These  have  rendered  it  one  of  the 
leadmg  ports  of  the  Mediterranean, 
the  English  and'other  mails  for  India, 
China,  Australia  &c  being  carried 
overland  to  Brindisi  and  thence  by

The  city  is  situated  r,n  the  six^bridged 
Arno  whose  valley  is  cbvirminKly  pictur- 
esque, being  shut-in  by  the  spurs  of  the 
Apennines.  The  hiehest  peak  of  the 
mountains  is  Monte  Morello  (9,158  feet), 
which  can  be  seen  from  the  fine  and 
much-frequented  squares,  such  as  Piazza 
del  Duomo,  Piazza  Vittorio  Emanuole, 
Piajsza  della  Signoria  &o.  On  the  first 
of  these  rises  the  far- famed 

Cathedral,  a  building  constructed 
from  designs  by  many  architects. 
The  first  was  di  Cambio,  12*^  cent., 


then  came  Giotto  and  Andrea  Pesatto 
(1336).  Later,  Prancesco  Talenti 
added  parts.  The  dome  was  planned 
by  24  architects,  the  consecration  of 
the  edifice  taking  place  in  1436. 
The  square  tower,  commenced  in  1334, 
is  very  fine,  being  nearly  300  feet 
in  height  and  having  most  beautiful 
Gothic  windows  in  its  four  stories.  En- 
riched with  many  statues,  it  possesses

of  John  Ruskm.  The  dome,  with 
its  lantern,  is  over  350  feet  high;  it 
was  executed  by  Pih'ppo  Brunelleschi, 
whose  monument,  together  with  many 
others,  embellishes  the  right  aisle. 
Indeed,  the  bareness  of  the  impressive 
interior  is  greatly  relieved  by  the 
numerous  statues  which  it  contains. 

Facing  the  choir  is  the 

Cathedral  Museum,  containing 
among  many  other  interesting  objects, 
Brunelleschi*s  model  of  the  lantern 
and  some  renowned  reliefs  by  Luca 
della  Robbia  and  Donatello. 


Another  fine  edifice,  likewise  begun 
by  Arnolfo  di  Cambio,  is 

Santa  Croce,  originally  a  Franciscan 
church.  The  building,  which  is 
adorned  with  frescoes  by  Giotto, 
Maso  di  Banco,  Giovanni  da  Milano 
and  the  Gaddis,  has  an  interest 
enhanced  by  the  remains  of  great 
men  interred  within  its  walls.  Of 
the  monuments,  the  most  important 
is  the  tomb  of  Michael  Angelo.  The 
sculpture  and  reliefs  in  the  interior

Florence  has  produced.  Near  the 
church  is  Michael  Angela's  house, 
called  Casa  Buonarroti,  64  Via 
GhibeHina.  It  contains  the  Galleria 
BuonarroU,  with  drawings  and  early 
works  of  the  great  master,  as  well 
as  a  number  of  his  models. 

The  church  of  5.  Giovanni  Baitista, 
called  the  Battisiero  was  the  Cathedral 
till  1128.  rt  is  a  building  of  excellent 
design,  and  celebrated  for  its  three 
bronze  doors,  most  elaborate  pieces 
of  work  decorated  with  numerous 
figures  that  have  called  forth  the  ad- 
miration   of   the  most  severe  critics. 

Santissima  Annunziata  is  a  13th 
century  church,  with  a  fine  portico 
and  mosaic:  both  the  exterior  and  the 
interior  are  beautifully  embellished. 


The  church  of  5.  Marco  contains 
noticeable  statues  and  a  painting  of 
Christ  by  Giotto.  But  it  is  most 
lemarkable  for  its  Cloisters,  formerly 
the  monastery  of  S.  Marco:  the 
building  is  now  a  Museum  and  con* 
tains  numerous  interesting  paintings, 
the  finest  of  which  are  Fra  Angelico's 
frescoes:  Savonarola's  occupation  of 
one  of  the  cells  adds  a  double  interest 
to  the  place. 

Santa  Maria  Novella,  begun  in  1 278 
and  completed  in  1572,  is  a  church  de- 
corated with  numerous  frescoes,  those 
by  Ghirlandajo  being  considered  the 
best  examples  of  Florentine  art  during 
the  pre-Raphaelite  period. 

Of  lesser  interest  are  the  churches 
of  Santa  Maria  Maddelena  de*  Pazzi,

La  Badia,  Santo  Spiriio,  S.  Maria 
del  Cartnine,  5.  Niccolo  &  Lorenzo, 

Palazzo  Vecchio  is  a  fine  building, 
begun  at  the  close  of  the  13th  cent. 
from  designs  by  Amolfo  di  Cambio, 
though  not  completed  till  the  close 
of  the  16tb  century.  Most  of  the 
finest  frescoes  by  Michael  Angelo  and 
other  great  masters  have  been  re- 
moved or  destroyed.  Many,  however, 
by  lesser  artists,  such  as  Ghirlandajo, 
Botticelli  and  Giovanni  da  Bologna 
have  been  preserved. 

Loggia  dei  Lanzi  is  an  oid  hall 
intended  for  the  performance  of  public 
ceremonies  of  a  solemn  character.  It 
was  erected  towards  the  close  of  the 
14  th  century  and  contains  several 
fine  marble  and  bronze  groups  by 
Giovanni,  Donatello  and  others. 


In  the  Palazzo  degli  Uffizi,  a 
16th  cent,  structure  built  from  Vasari's 
designs,  the  famous  Picture  Gallery 
and  other  collections  have  been 
deposited.  The  finest  paintings  are 
hung  in  the  Trihuna,  where  Raphael's 
works  and  those  of  his  forerunners, 
Fra  Angelico  &c.,  will  be  found.  In 
the  other  parts  there  are  numerous 
valuable  productions,  including  re- 
presentatives of  many  various  schools. 
The  collection  of  statuary  in  marble 
and  bronze  is  a  worthy  mate  of  the 
Picture  Gallery:  here  have  been  brought 
together  specimens  of  the  works  of 
the  finest  sculptors  of  many  times;  so 
that  the  whole  gallery  forms  a  temple 
of  art  such  as  the  world  has,  neither 
before  nor  since,  ever  seen.

The  history  of  the  '^Eternal  City", 
first  as  the  centre  of  the  Roman  ci- 
vilisation and  empire  and  afterwards 
as  that  of  the  Papal  dominion,  is 
too  well-known  to  call  for  comment 
here-  Suffice  it  to  say  that  present- 
day  Rome,  situated  mainly  on  the 
left  bank  of  the  Tiber,  attracts  con- 
tinual streams  of  tourists,  who  gather 
here  to  study  the  relics  of  a  former 
greatness  and  the  monuments  of 
classical  and  medisval  art. 

In  the  space  at  our  disposal,  it  is 


Hotel  Hinerva  Rome.

scarcely  possible  to  do  more  than 
give  a  list  of  the  principal  sights. 

Antiquities  of  Ancient  Rome:  The 
CapitolinCt  the  smallest  but  most  re- 
nowned of  Rome's  seven  hills,  became 
deserted  as  the  city  declined,  but  re- 
gained something  of  its  ancient  im- 
portance when  the  municipality  again 
acquired  its  former  independence.  The 
Arx  or  Citadel  has  been  replaced  by 
the  church  of  5.  Maria  in  Araccsli* 
The  most  important  square  on  the  hill 
is  Piazza  del  Catnpidoglio,  designed 
b}'  Michael  Angelo,  who  also  executed 
the  statue  of  Marcus  Aurelius. 

The  column  of  Marcus  Aurelius, 
adorned  with  reliefs,  stands  on  the 
square  to  which  its  name  has  been  given. 

An  Obelisk  on  Piazza  del  Popolo 
was  raised  by  the  Emperor  Augustus 
in  the  Circus,  in  commemoration  of 
the  subjugation  of  Egypt. 


The  Forum,  or  rather  its  site,  will 
be  found  on  the  Cloaca  Maxima  con- 
structed in  the  drained  valley  between 
the  Capitoline  and  Palatine;  Of  the 
public  edifices  which  here  replaced  the 
shambles  and  shops  of  early  Rome, 
the  ruins  of  the  temples  of  Concord 
and  of  Castor  and  Pollux  still  remain: 
there  are  also  a  few  monuments  of 
Rome  in  her  decadence;  but  the  re- 
moval of  the  stone  -  work  for  the 
erection  of  mediaeval  churches  and 
the  subsequent  use  of  the  spot  for 
shooting  rubbish  have  left  little  of 
the  original  classical  forum. 

In  the  neighbourhood,  however, 
will  be  found  the  Arch  of  Septimius 
Sever  us,  some  columns  of  Vespasian's 
Temple  and  the  Temple  of  Saturn: 
here,  too,  are  the  Column  of  Phocas, 
those  of  the  Temple  of  Castor,  the 
Basilica   Julia   founded   by  Ceesar, 


647 


the  .emnants  of  the  Rosirum  raised 
by  /-ugustus,  the  Temple  of  Ccesar, 
that  of  Vesta  and  of  Faustina  and, 
finally,  the  Airium  Vesta,  an  exten-- 
sive  building,  of  which  considerable 
remains  ^lill  exist.  The  largest  structure 
was,  of  course,  the  Basilica  of  Con* 
stantine,  three  enormous  arches  of 
which,  together  with  some  of  the  vault- 
ing and  \  irt  of  one  of  the  apses,  are 
still  standing.  The  Basilica  jEmecia, 
the  Lake  of  Juturna  and  the  Basilica 
of  Santa  Maria  Antiqua  are  among 
the  discoveries.  The  Arch  of  Titus, 
bxiilt  to  commemorate  his  triumph  over 
the  Jews  in  A.  D.  70,  is  one  of  the 
best  specimens  of  Roman  arches  extant. 
Passing  down  the  Via  Sacra  beyond 
the  rejnnants  of  the  Temple  to  Venus 
and  Roma  designed  by  the  Emperor 
Hadrian,  we  reach  the  far-famed 
Colosseum,  which,  capable  of  seating 


about  50,000  spectators,  and  with  an 
Arena  of  vast  proportions  has  been  the 
scene  of  orgies  of  the  most  apalling 
character.  To  obtain  a  good  idea  of 
the  immensity  of  the  original  building, 
it   is   usual  to  visit  it  by  moonlight. 

The  Arch  of  Constantiue  is  in 
excellent  preservation  and  is  one  of 
the  latest  efforts  of  declining  art  in 
the  dying  empire. 

South  of  the  Colosseum  will  be 
found  the  original  Travertine  pavement 
(discovered  in  1893),  with  remains  of 
ancient  buildings.  Hence  we  proceed 
to  the  N.  E.  of  the  Republican  Forum 
to  examine  the  scanty  relics  of  the 
Fora  of  the  Emperors.  Near  that  of 
Trajan  stands  Trajan's  column,  with 
a  total  height  of  just  upon  150  feet. 
The  rival  hill  of  the  Capitol  was  the 

Palatine,  where  the  ancestors  of 
the  Romans   are   supposed   to   have

dwelled  previous  to  the  foundation 
of  the  city.  Here  stood  the  Roma 
Quadrata,  of  which  but  few  relics 
now  remain.  Here,  in  later  times, 
poets  and  orators  had  their  houses: 
here  Cicero  and  Catiline  lived:  here 
Augustus  was  bom;  and  here  Tiberius 
and  Nero  built  their  palaces. 

The  most  important  remains  are 
those  of  Tiberius'  Palace,  the  House 
of  Livia  (in  excellent  preservation), 
the  Domus  Augusfana  and  small 
portions  of  the  Pa^dagogium;  but 
the  sites  of  many  other  interesting 
buildings  may  still  be  recognised. 

Between  the  Visus  Tusctis  and  the 
ForumBoarium  lay  the  Velabrum,now 
called  Via  di  San  Giorgio  in  Velabro. 
Passing  down  the  street  we  observe 
the  Arcus  Argentariorum,  erected 
by  the  monay  changers  in  honour  of 
Septimius  Severus  and  his  family. 


Beyond  it  is  the  Janus  Quadrifon^, 
between  which  and  the  Tiber  the 
ancient  cattle  -  market  stretched.  It 
was  drained  by  the  Cloaca  Maxima^ 
still  to  be  seen  beyond  the  Monay^ 
changers*  Arch,  In  the  neighbour- 
hood, there  are  two  ancient  temples, 
one  of  them  dating  from  the  close  of 
the  republic,  and  in  a  good  state  of 
preservation.  Close  by  it  stands  the 
Casa  di  Rienzi,  erected  by  Nicholas 
of  the  house  of  the  Crescentii. 

The  ancient  Aventine  is  no  longer 
the  abode  of  the  people,  but  is 
covered  with  ecclesiastical  buildings 
that  give  it   quite  another  character. 

In  the  Via  Appia,  however,  a  few 
of  the  ancient  structures  may  still  be 
recognised.  There  are,  for  example, 
the  ruins  of  the 

Thermce  Antoniniana,  called  also 
the  Baths  of  Caracalla,   the   building 


648 


having  been  commenced  by  that 
emperor  in  A.  D.  212.  Of  the  many 
statues  that  have  been  found  here, 
the  most  famous  is  the  Farnese  Bull, 
now  in  the  Naples  Museum. 

The  Tomb  of  the  Scipios  and  the 
Columbarium  of  Octavia's  Freedmen 
also  possess  great  interest.  Finally, 
there  is  the  Arch  of  Drusus,  which, 
accoi'ding  to  good  authority,  should 
not  be  ascribed  to  so  early  a  date,  but 
was  probably  built  in  the  time  ofTrajan. 


In  another  part  of  the  city  is  ths 
site  of  the  Thermce  of  Diocleiian, 
the  largest  baths  in  Rome;  they  have 
given  their  name  to  the  Piazza  4elU 
Terme  where  they  stood. 

But  the  most  perfectly  preserved 
of  the  ancient  edifices  is  the 

Pantheon,  The  original  building  was 
erected  under  Augustus;  but,  having 
been  greatly  damaged  by-  lightning 
during  the  time  •  of  Trajan,  it  was 
rebuilt  by  Hadrian,  to  whom  it  owes

which  are  worth  careful  attention. 

•S.  Giovanni  in  Laterano  is  a  basilica, 
which  has  had  three  predecessors,  the 
first  having  been  destroyed  by  an 
earthquake,  and  the  two  others  by 
fire.  The  present  building  |s,  in  many 
respects,  a  fine*  structure,  with  a 
splendid  ceiling,  beautiful  Gothic 
canopy  and  many  other  works  of 
art,  including  a  portion  of  the  original 


frescoes  by  Giotto  that  once  formed 
a  marked  feature  of  the  edifice. 

The  Palazzo  del  Laterano,  form- 
erly the  residence  of  the  popes  and 
still  exterritorial,  was  adapted  by 
Gregory  XVI.  for  the  reception  of

We  have  thus  far  been  dealing  only 
with  that  part  of  Rome  which  lies  on 
the  left  bank  of  the  Tiber,  and  which,  in 
the  main,  is  built  upon  the  site  of  the 
ancient  city.  Old  Rome,  with  its  protect- 
ing wall,  stood,  however,  on  the  seven 
hills,  and  touched  the  river-bank  only 
at  the  small  depression  between  the 
Aventine  and  the  Capitoline  Mounts. 
But,  from  the  latter  to  Mons  Pincius, 
stretched  Campus  Martius,  bounded  on 
the  east  by  two  reaches  of  the  river. 
Here,  the  emperors  raised  a  number  of 
their  finest  buildings.  But  it  was  not 
until  the  popes  took  up  their  residence 
in  the  palace  on  Mons  Vaticanus 
that  the  plain  became  peopled.  From 
that  time  onward,  the  inhabitants 
were  drawn  in  this  direction ;  so  that, 
at  the  present  day,  the  district  is  the 
most  densely  populated  in  the  city. 

The  two  parts  of  the  city  are  joined 
together  by  several  bridges,  of  which 
the  most  important  is  Ponte  S.  Angela  : 
the  original  structure  was  formed  by 
Hadrian,  in  A.  D.  136,  to  give  access 
to  his  Tomb,  one  of  the  very  few  erec- 
tions of  an  early  date  that  lay  on 
Uie  further  side  of  the  stream.  On 
the  relics  of  this  tomb  was  built  the 
still  existing 

C«8tel  S.  Amirelo;  or  rather  the  tomb 
was  converted  into  a  citadel  as  pro- 
tection against  the  Goths  in  A.  D.  637. 
The   edifice   then   past   through   many 
phases,  being  principally  used   by  the 
popes  in  their  contests  with  temporal 
dynasties.    It  is   now  open  to   visitors 
from  10—4  o'clock:  entrance  fee  1  lire. 
To  the  right  of   the  citadel  stands 
the  PaUsco  di  Giastisla,  with  Umberto 
Bridge  in  front  and  Piasza  Caroar  be- 
hind.   On  the  other  side  of  the  citadel 
and  close  to  the  river,  commences  a  street 
called   Borgo  S.  Spirito.    It  leads  past 
8.  Splrlto  in  Sassia,  a  church  deriving 
its  name   from   the  following   oiroum- 
stance:  near  the  Church  of  St.  Peter, 
there  sprang  ap  during  the  €tii  and  7th 
centuries,    or   perhaps   earlier,   several 
•ehol9  or  borghi,  of   which   the  best 
known  were  those  of  the  Longobards, 
he  Frisians,  the  Franks  and  the  Saxons, 
lat  of  the  last  standing  on  what  is 
3W  the  site  of  the  above-mentioned 
ifioe.    The  street  in  which  it  stands 
ns  down  to  Piasza  di  S.  Pietro,  a  large 
\  beautifnlly^  paved  ellipse  with  an 


obelisk  in  the  centre  and  sarrounded 
with  colonnades  of  Doiic  columns  that 
form  a  fine  approach  to 

St.  Peter's,  the  largest  oathedral 
in  the  world  and,  although  possibly  not 
the  most  beautiful,  certainly  the  most 
imposing.  It  was  begun  in  the  15tii  cent., 
to  replace  the  old  church  of  St.  Peter. 
But  the  work  was  abandoned  for  60  years, 
and  when  continued  was  remodelled 
from  designs  by  Bramante.  This  great 
architect's  work  was  nearly  spoiled  by 
successors,  and  only  saved  by  Michael 
Angelo's  brtlliant  genius.  It  was  he  who 
restored  something  of  the  intended  ma- 
jesty of  the  building,  and  by  construct- 
ing the  purposed  dome,  demonstrated 
the  practicability  of  the  views  held  by 
Brunellesohi,  the  designer  of  Florence 
cathedral.  Unfortunately,  however,  the 
facade  added  by  order  of  Paul  V.  de- 
tracts from  the  effect  of  the  building  and 
hides  much  of  the  dome.  The  interior, 
despite  the  somewhat  injudicious  de- 
coration, is  grand  and  harmonious.  The 
embellishments  are  chiefly  by  Bellini  and 
his  contemporaries.  The  most  striking 
of  his  productions  is  the  magnificent 
canopy  beneath  the  dome.  Among  the 
chapels  may  be  mentioned  that  of  Delia 
Pietjky  containing  Michael  Angelo's 
famous  work.  The  Gregorian  Chapel  was 
also  designed  by  him.  Works  by  Canovay 
Benly  Ponssia  and  others  also  deserve 
notice.  The  crypt,  too,  !•  also  worth  . 
visiting;  and  an  ascent  of  ^e  dome 
should  not  be  forgotten. 

Adjoining  the  Cathedral  is  the 
Vatlcaiiy  the  celebrated  palace  of 
the  popes.  It  is  a  vast  pile  of  buildings 
which  have  grown  up  during  various 
centuries  and  are  most  noteworthy  for 
their  richly  embellished  interior  and 
the  artistic  and  literary  treasures  stored 
within  them.  The  two  finest  narts  are 
the  Sistine  Chapel  and  the  Cauere  e 
Stanze  di  Baffaelle.  The  former,  appro- 
ached through  the  Sale  Begia,  is  hand- 
somely decorated  with  frescoes  by  the 
finest  artists  of  the  Florentine  &  Umbrian 
schools.  But  its  crowning  beauty  is  the 
wonderful  ceiling  painted  by  Michael 
Angelo  and,  together  with  the  Last  Jud- 
gement on  the  altar-wall,  forming,  per- 
haps, his  finest  work/Thisvast  design  may 
be  considered  the  greatest  monument 
produced  by  his  magnificent  genius.  It  has 
in  it  something  of  the  grand  proportions 
of  the  man  himself,  for  Michael  Angelo 
delighted  in  greatness,  physical  as  well 
as  intellectual^  It  is  in  this,  that  he 
difiPers  from  his  most  worthy  rival  and 
contemporary  Raphael.  The  one  was  an 
intellectual  giant,  a  master  in  every  de- 
partment of  art;  the  other  was  a  sweet 
and  sensitive  painter  whose  works  are 
filled  with  imaginative  drawing,  lovely 
colouring,  and  who,  in  his  own  peculiar 
line*  still  remains  unrivalled,

strikins:  of  the  frescoes  is  that  represent- 
.ing  Philosophy,  in  the  designini?  of  which 
the  artist  broke  awav  completely  from 
the  traditional  grouping  of  hig  prtideoes- 
flors.  The  merits  of  the  work  are  well 
pointed  oat  in  the  following  passage:— 

"No  longer  content  with  follewiog  his 
masters,  Baffael  began,  in  his  celebrated 
fresco  of  "Philosophy,  or  the  School  of 
Athens'\  to  invent  a  new  style  tor  him- 
self. If  we  compare  the  i^eedom  of  the 
figures,  the  naturalness  of  the  grouping, 
the  depth  and  mastery  of  the  perspective 
and  the  admirable  power  of  true  and 
noble  expression  displayed  in  this  magni- 
ficent work  with  any  previous  master- 
piece of  art  —  even  with  Lionardo  him- 
self -'  we  can  see  at  once  what  is  the 
nature  of  that  supreme  excellence  which 
has  made  Baffael  the  greatest  name 
among  the  whole  roll  of  modern  painters. 
Whether  we  look  at  the  conception  itself, 
in  its  totality  and  in  its  detail,  or  at  the 
technical  mastery  with  which  it  is  ex- 
pressed —  whether  at  the  glorious  reali- 
sation, or  the  harmony  of  its  arraqge- 
mMit  and  ih.e  perfection  of  its  design,  or 
at  the  drapexy,  the  management  of  light 
and  the.perspeetive,  or  at  the  beauty  and 
delicacy  or  the  colouring,  or  at  the  power 
and  truth  of  the  touch,  we  must  acknow- 
ledge alike  in  every  particular  both  the 
highest  command  of  hand  and  muscle, 
and  the  informing  soul  blended  into  a 
whole  b^  the  subtlest  interfusion  of 
mental  gifts  and  manual  ability." 

In  the  Vatican,  too,  will  be  found  the 
original  tapestries  worked  trom  Raphael's 
celebrated  cartoons:  though  much  da- 
maged, their  beauty  is  not  wholly  lost. 

The  Picture  Gallery  is  small  but  ex- 
cellent. It  consists  of  four  rooms.  In  the 
first,  the  most  remarkable  works  are  — 
da  Vinci's  "St.  Jerome'*;  Eaphaers  "*An-

The  origin  of  Naples  lies  in  remote 
itiquity.  It  grew  up  from  Greek 
Elements   of  a  very  ancient   date. 


In  the  1  Itli  century  B.  C  immigrants 
from  ^olia  founded  the  colony  of 
Kyme,  -—  the  Cumae  of  the  Romans. 
From  this  town  pioneers  afterwards 
proceeded  to  another  spot,  clo^  by, 
and  established  a  fresh  colony  called 
Parthenope,  which,  on  the  founding 
of  Neapolis  at  a  latter  period,  became 
known  as  Paiseopolis. 

In  the  year  326  B.  C,  the  place  was 
conquered  by  the  Romans  and  became 
a  worthy  member  of  the  empire.  In 
later  days  it  was  one  of  the  favourite 
resorts  of  the  nobility  of  Rome,  and 
was  chosen  as  a  place  of  residence 
by  numerous  poets  and  emperors. 

With  the  fall  of  the  Empire  it  pas- 
sed, first,  into  the  hands  of  Belisarius

—  who  stormed  the  town  in  A.  D. 
536  —  and  then  fetl  a  prey  to  ToUla's 
Goths  (A.  D.  543). 

It  thus  became,  for  a  time,  an  inte- 
gral part  of  the  Byzantine  Exarchate; 
from  which,  however,  it  soon  separ- 
ated, and  then  rose  into  an  indepen- 
dent dukedom.  This  lasted  till  the 
days  of  the  Normans  who,  under 
Roger,  overcame  the  duchy  in  1130. 
Hence,  when  Roger  was  crowned  king 
in  1135,  Naples  became  the  capital 
of  the  two  Sicilies.  The  capital  of 
Charles  of  Anjou's  kingdom,  a  French 
influence  began  which  was  augmented 
under  the  Bourbons  in  the  18th  cent 


and  is  still  apparent  in  the  dialect  of 
the  people. 

The  present  city,  whose  growth  is 
commonly  said  to  have  ceased,  has 
a  population  of  563,540  as  against 
a  total  of  517,000  in  the  year  1860. 
It  should,  however,  be  remembered 
that  the  suburbs  of  Naples  are  very 
extensive  and,  if  included,  would 
bring  up  the  total  population  to  over 
700,000. 

The  situation  of  the  city  is  one 
of  the  finest  in  the  world:  "Vctii

backed  by  the  Misenu  Mountains, 
it  looks  .across  to  the  Campella 
Heights  and  the  Isle  of  Capri  to  the 
south ;  while  a  few  miles  to  the  S.  E. 
looms  up  Vesuvius,  the  bay  being 
shut  in  to  the  west  by  the  islands 
of  Procida  and  Ischia. 

The  main  street  of  the  town  is 
the  Via  Roma,  formerly  called  the 
Toledo,  and  running  northwards 
from  Palazzo  Reale  to  Piazza  Dante, 
whence  a  continuation  of  the  street 
extends  to  "Palazzo  Capodimonte 
Reale.  Near  its  southern  end  are 
the  Castel  Nuovo  with  the  military 
port,    the    Arsenal,  Rionc  5.  Lucia, 


Casiello  dell'  Ova  and  the  Villa 
Nazionale,  the  last  standing  in  a 
beautifully  laid  out  spot  on  the  shores 
of  the  bay  and  forming  the  favour- 
ite promenade  of  the  place.  To 
the  west  of  the  Toledo  lies  the  new 
town,  beyond,  which,  on.  the  *''•-- 
rounding  heights,  stand  San  Mar 
Castel  S.  Elmo  &c.  To  the  eas  f 
the  Toledo  lies  the  old  town  i 
the  Cathedral,  the  University  I 
numerous  churches  &c.  These  c  • 
paratively  few  sights  may  be  v*  i 
in  the  order  indicated. 

Palazzo  Reale  is   a  bui'ding 
ing  from  the   commencement   --'       t 


17th  c«ntury,  with  a  fa9ade  showing 
the  three  orders  of  Greek  architecture, 
and  decorated  with  statues  of  the 
various  rulers  under  whom  Naples 
has  passed.  The'  attendant,  whose 
fee  is  one  lire,  shows  the  place  in 
the  following  order: —  the  terrace, 
the  grand  staircase,  the  theatre,  the 
dining-room,  and  the  gorgeous  throne- 
room.  The  Dresden  China  is  valuable; 
and  the  pictures  include  specimens 
of  van  Dyck,  Giordano,  Titian  &c. 
Close  by  is  the 

GaUeria  Umherto  Primo,  a  hand- 
some building  erected  in  1890  in  the 
form  of  a  Latin  cross  and  possessing 
a  glass  dome  186  feet  in  height. 
Almost  adjoining  the  above  is  the 

Teatro  San  Carlo,  built  under 
Charles  III.  in  1737  and  forming  one 
of  the  largest  opera-houses  in  Italy. 


Adjacent  to  these  buildings,  and 
bordering  the  naval  harbour,  rises  the 

CasUl  Nuovo,  commenced,  in  A.  D. 
1283,  by  Charles  of  Anjou,  but 
considerably  enlarged  in  succeeding 
centuries:  it  is  entered  through  a 
triumphal  arch  designed  by  Pietro 
di  Martino  of  Milan  and  considered 
the  finest  structure  in  Naples.  Hence, 
a  visit  may  be  paid  to  the  harbours, 
the  mole,  the  light -house  &c.,  or, 
passing  westwards,  we  reach  the 
beautiful  Municipio,  beyond  which 
lies  Via  Roma.  In  the  course  of 
the  street,  we  glance  at  the  Bourse 
and  several  monuments,  and  then 
proceed  to  the  Museo  Nazionale, 
originally  barracks  built  in  1586, 
and  afterwards  the  seat  .  of  the 
University.  From  the  year  1790, 
it  has  contained  collections  of  anti-

From  the  National  Museum  another 
broad  road  (Strada  Foria)  leads  past 
Piazza Cavour  and  Porta  S.  Gennaro,to 
the  Botanical  Gardens  and  the  Recltt- 
sorio,  a  charitable  institution,  founded 
in  A.  D.  1751  by  Charles  III.  From  this 
spot,  Corso  Garibaldi  runs  down  past 
Aversa  and  Nola  Stations,  across 
Piazza  Umberto,  and  past  the  Cen- 
tral Station,  to  Castel  del  Carmine, 
a  large  building  erected  in  A.  D. 
1484  by  Ferdinand  L  on  the  borders 
of  the  bay.  The  Gateway  to  the 
west  of  the  Castle  leads  to  a  Square 
on  which  rises  the  Church  of  Santa 
Maria  del  Carmine,  celebrated  for 
its  painting  of  the  Virgin  and  a 
Statue  of  Conradin  designed  by 
Thorwaldsen.

The  general  form  is  that  of  the

once  stood  on  a  site  now  occupied 
by  the  town  of  Resina.  The  story 
of  its  overwhelming  by  the  eruption 
of  Vesuvius  in  A.  D.  79  is  too  well 
known  to  require  more  than  a  bare 
mention.  The  discovery  of  the  ancient 
town  occurred  accidentally  by  the 
sinking  of  a  well  in  the  year  1720. 
Excavations  followed  which  have 
brought  many  buildings  and  works 
of  art  to  light,  the  greater  number 
of  the  discoveries  having  been  lodged 
in  the  Museum  at  Naples.

Tesovlas,  the  mighty  mountain 
that  destroyed  Pompeii,  Herculaneum 
and  Stabiae  (see  Castellammare)  with 
many  other  villages,  in  A.  D.  79,  is 
not  easy  of  ascent,  and  most  travellers, 
therefore,  make  use  of  the  Ferrovia 
Funioolare  —  belonging  to  Messrs. 
Cook  and  Son  —  which  now  runs 
from  Pugliano  to  the  crater  itself.  By 
this  means  one  also  avoids  the  extortion 
practised  by  guides,  all  complaints 
being  then  made  to  the  inspector. 

POMPEII.  ~  HOTELS:  Saisse; 
Diom^de.—  Though  now  2  miles  in- 
land, this  once  celebrated  town  of 
perhaps  30,000  inhab.,  stood,  in 
classic  times,  on  the  borders  of  the 
sea.  Prior  to  its  destrucction  in 
A.  D.  79,  it  had  received  several 
neglected  warnings,  as,  for  example, 
the   earth-quake   of  A.  D.  63   which 


081 


partially  destroyed  the  neighbouring 
town  of  Herculaneum.  At  the  gre^t 
eruption,  the  latter  place  was  over- 
whelmed with  lava;  whereas  Pompeii 
was  buried  in  successive  layers  of 
ash  and  scoriae.  It  is  to  this  cir- 
cumstance that  Pompeii  owes  not 
only  its  perservation  beneath  the 
earth  but  also  the  fact  that  it  has 
been  much  more  easily  laid  bare  than 
the  sister  city.  At  the  present  time, 
a  great  part  of  the  ancient  place  has 
been  made  accessible  to  the  student, 
who  will  And  here  the  old  Forum,

This  thriving  town  stands  on  the 
site  of  the  Herman  Stabi»,  which,  like 
Pompeii  and  Herculaneum,  was  over- 
whelmed in  A<  D.  79.  Unfortunately, 
Ihe  excavation  of  the  ancient  town  has 
been  almoal  totally  neglected.  The 
modern  town  is  a  favourite  watering- 
pi  ace^  lying  at  the  base  of  the  promon- 
tory which  forms  the  southern  shore 
of  the  Bay  of  Naples.     Its  delightful 


situation r  shady  walks  and  fine  cliinate 
attract  the  Neapotiians  in  Sumrner 
and  foreigners  in  Spring  and  FalK 
The  sea-bathing  has  an  jniiportant 
competitor  in  the  sulphur  eprings. 

In  the  neighbourhoodi  there  are 
several  fine  niountain  peaks,  the 
favourite  ascents  being  those  of

SORRENTO,   the  Surrentum  of  the 
ancients,  is  now  a  small  but  favourite 
watering  -  place,    much  frequented  by 
Anglo-Saxons.  The  town  itself  contains 
little  of  interest  beyond  the  statui 
Ta$so,   who  was  bom  here  in   li 
the  house,  however,  having  been  s- 
lowed   up  by  the  waves.     The  g 
charm  of  the  place  lies  in  its  ddi| 
ful  and  cool  situation  on  the  north 
shore  of  ihe  promontory  that  enclo 
the  Bay  of  Naples  to  the  south.    Fi

points  of  view,  of  which  the  most  oele- 
bratpd  is  Capodimonte.  Furthermore,  the 
various  heights  around  Sorrento  are  filled 
with  spots  from  which  the  most  glorious 
scenery  comes  within  ken,  though  the 
routes  are,  as  a  rule,  steep  and  unlntex- 
esting  and  best  ascended  on  asses. 

Finally,  there  are  delightfal  boating 
trips,  such  as  to  Pnata  di  SorreatOy  to 
Heta*  with  its  fine  grottoes,  and  to  the 

ISIiE  of  OAPRl  (BNGL.  CHURCH:

whose  population  of  6,000  support  them- 
selves prmcipaily  by  catermg  for  the 
80,000  visitors  who  annually  cross  from 
the  mainland  to  explore  its  mountains, 
rocks  and  grottoes.  The  island  eon- 
tains  two  towns:— 

CAPRI  (HOTELS:  ContlneBtals

and  ANAGAPRI  (HOTELS:  Paradtoo; 
Loadoa)  —  the  former  on  the  neck  of 
the  island  eastwards,  the  latter  mrther 
west.  The  principal  height  is  Monte 
Solaro  in  the  neighbourhood  of  Ana- 
capri.  It  has  an  altitude  of  1,990  ft., 
and  rises  precipitously  from  the  sea  on 
the  southern  side  of  the  island.  The 
view  of  Capri,  the  Bay  of  Naples  and 
the  rngged  Apennines  is  exceedingly  fine. 
On  the  northern  side  of  the  island  is  the 
Blae  Grotto,  the  most  beantitul  of  Capri's 
caves:  one  is  rowed  into  it  in  skiffs. 
The  name  has  been  given  to  it  from 
the  intense  blueness  produced  by  the 


refracted  light  from  without,  and  the 
effect  is  dassling  and  wonderful. 

Ketuming  to  Sorrento,  we  cross  to  the 
southern  side  of  the  promontory,  &  visit

AMALFI  was,  at  one  time,  the  oapital 
of  a  dukedom  of  the  same  name,  and  a 
prosperous  town  with  a  population  of 
50,000.  Though  the  place  has  gradually 
declined,  it  still  poesesses  considerable 
soap-worka,  paper-mills  and  macaroni 
faotories.  Moreover,  of  recent  years, 
the  number  of  visitors  has  grown  very 
large,  so  as  frequently  to  over*flll  the 
hotels  and  make  it  advisable  to  engage 
rooms  in  advance. 

The  great  attraction  In  the  town  it- 
self is  the  mnoh -altered  but  interesting 
11th  century  Cathedral,  which  is  cele- 
brated for  its  bronze  doors,  statues, 
monuments  and  Pssstum  columns  oon- 
tained  in  the  interior.  Not  far  from 
it  stands  the  church  of  Saata  Maria 
Dolorata.  Furthermore,  above  the  town 
—  which  lies  in  a  steep  and  rugged  ravine 
of  the  Oulf  of  Salerno  —  is  perched  the 
old  Capuchin  Convent,  buiU  in  1212  and 
recently  converted  into  a  hotel. 

The  situation  of  the  town  renderf  it 
a  favourite  centre  for  walks  and  ex- 
oursions,  of  which  the  principal  are:— 

(1)  Up  the  Telle  de*  Molini  with  ita 
18  paper-mills;  (2)  to  the  vineyards  of 
the  neighbouring  villages  Pastena,  Poge*

coast  in  various  directions  and,  espe- 
cially, along  the  rock  -  cut  road,  past

Some  60  yean  older  than  the  cathe* 
dral  ii  the 

Cappella  PalaMmty  an  vnrivalled  ipe- 
ehnen  of  Ambo- Norman  arohitectnre. 
The  modem  moiaiee  in  the  veetihale, 
the  Oriental  elaM  moeaioe  of  the  walls, 
and  the  roof  of  tbe  nave,  elegantly 
fonned  of  wood,  together  with  its  many 
other  charming  deoorationa,  produce  a 
magio.  effect  upon  the  beholder. 

8.  OleTannl  degll  Kresdti»  with  fine 
cupolae,  was  built  in  1182,  and  ie  thus  of 
slightly  later  date  than  the  above,  being, 
indeed,  in  pure  Norman  style  and  one 
of  the  best  specimens  of  the  neriod. 
The  interior  is  now  only  interesting  for 
the  remains  of  a  tiny  mosque  which  it 
contains,  as  the  medisBval  frescoes  are 
scarcely  recognisable. 

The  oburch  of  Ls  ]lsrt«rans«  built  in 
1148,  and  subsequently  used  as  a  parlia- 
ment house  is  now  the  seat  of  the  Con- 
servaaione  dei  Monnmenti  di  Sicilia. 

Close  by  is  the  UniTerslt7«  one  of  the 
most  important  in  Italy.  The  building 
contains  valuable  biological  and  geo- 
logical collections. 

In  the  neighbourhood  is  the 

Bibileteca  €oai«nale,a  valuable  library 
of  216,000  vola  and  8»870  MSS. 

8.  SslTstore  is  an  exceedingly  fine 
church  with  a  specially  beautiful  in- 
terior. It  was  built  from  Amatols  de- 
signs in  1628. 

Among  other  edifices  of  note,  we  may 
mention  tbe  Church  of  la  Maeione,  that 
of  8.  Cita  and  the  very  large  8.  DoineBleo, 
the  last  capable  of  seating  12,000  pers. 
and  decorated  with  beautiful  reliefs, 
several  paintings  by  Kovelli,  and  an 
altar-piece  by  Van  Dyok. 

Palermo  possesses  a  valuable  apd 
extensive  ■nsenniy  lodged  in  an  <dd 
monastery.  The  building  itself  has  many 
points  that  are  worthy  ef  attention; 
while  the  oolleotions  consist,  for  the 
most  part,  of  specimens  of  Greek  and 
Mi>resque  art,  the  number  of  antiquities 
being  very  considerable. 

The  environs  of  Palermo  are  exception- 
ally beautiful.  The  Cathedral  (A.  D.  1170) 
at  Monreale  (the  old  Boyal  Town)  con- 
tains magnificent  mosaics;  while  above 
the  small  plain  in  which  the  city  lies,  rise 
some  magnificent  rocky  heights,  whose 
lime -stone  cliffs  are  very  noticeable. 
Tbe  principal  mountains  are  Monte 
Catslfano  to  the  B.  and  the  finely-formed 
Monte  Pellegrino  to  the  N. 

Palermo  has  not  only  excellent  steamer 
communication  with  the  leading  ports  of 
the  Mediterranean,  such  as  Marseilles, 
Genoa,  Cagliari  (Sardinia)  and  Naples, 
but  also  steamer  and  railway  connection 
with  the  principal  towns  of  the  island. 
It  is  impossible,  here,  to  describe  all  these 
in  detail:  only  an  outline  can  be  given. 


The  tourist  desiring  to  do  the  chief  places 
of  Sicily  proceeds  Dy  rail  to  Cslstaflml, 
and  visits  the  famous  ruins  of 

S  E  G  E  STA,  the  ancient  Egesta  of 
the  Greeks:  the  temple  is  a  fine  spe- 
cimen of  Doric  architecture  but  appears 
never  to  have  been  finished:  parts  of  it, 
as  well  as  of  the  theatre,  are  in  a  good 
state  of  preservation. 

From  Calatanmi,  we  take  train  to 
GastelretranOf  near  which  are  situated 
the  wonderful  ruins  of 

SEIilNVBrTE,  regarded  as  the 
grandest  templee  in  Europe:  a  double 
interest  attaches  to  the  place  from  its 
connection  with  Hannibal,  who  attacked 
it  with  100,000  men. 

Hence,  via  Maszara,  to 

BEARSA1.A  (INNs  Albergo  Stella 
d'ltalla)  famous  for  its  sweet  wines, 
but  possessing  only  one  building  of  note, 
namelv,  the  CathedraL 

A  further  run  by  rail  brings  us  to 

TRAPANI  (POP.:  iaOOO.  —  HOT.: 
Grand  Hotel,  U*ol^  new  building,  snath 
aspect,  sea -view.  —  U.  8.  C0N8»  AQT.: 
Sig.  Gonstaattiio  Serraine),  built  On  a 
promontory  split  into  two  by  its  fine 
harbour.  It  is,  perhaps,  to  its  excellent 
situation  that  it  owes  its  thriving  trade. 
Otherwise,  it  possesses  only  an  historioal 
interest  derived  from  its  having  been 
fortified  bv  Hamilcar  Barca.  But  few 
of  the  buildings  are  noteworthy.  In 
the  neighboarhood,  however,  rises  the 
fine  height  of  Monte  San  Ginlisno  (£rvx), 
with  the  ruins  of  ^Venus'  Shrine  and.  of 
the  Phcsnician  walls:  the  view  is  most 
beautiful  in  Spring. 

From  this  point,  railway  communi- 
cation is  bad:  but  steamers  may  be  ob- 
tained to  the  neighbouring  islands  and 
back  along  the  coast,  calling  at  Marsala, 
Massars  and  Selaeay  where  the  ancient 
ThermiB  8elinant»  stood. 

The  next  call  is  at  Empedople,  the 
seaport  for  Girgenti.  In  the  neighbour- 
hood, there  are  extensive  sulphur-mines, 
the  export  forming  about  one  sixth  of 
the  total  Sicilian  sulphur  product.

most  imi^ortant  cities  of  Sicily.  Foun<''"' 
by  colonists  from  Gela  nnarly  COU  ye 
B.C.,  it  remained  a  Greek  town  for  ab 
two  centuries.  During  this  period  its  po 
lation  is  said  to  have  risen  to  800^000; 
commerce   became  very  extensive, 
wealth  grew  great;  and  it  was  emi 
lished  with  innumerable  works  of  i

OATANIA  possesses  a  few  ancient 
ruins,  such  as  the  remains  of  a  Grseco* 
Roman  theatre,  and  an  almost  un- 
impaired Roman  Bath,  beneath  the 
Carmelite  Church.  Of  the  later  edifices, 
the  most  noteworthy  is  the 

Calhedrahio^ndtd  by  Roger  in  1091: 
the  interior  contains  some  beautiful 
choir-stallSy  high-altar,  sarcophagi  &c. 
Only  a  part  of  the  transept  and  the 


apses  belonged  to  the  original  struc' 
ture,  which  was  shattered  by  the 
earthquake  of  1169. 

5.  Nicola,  formerly  a.  monaatery, 
dates  from  the  opening  of  the  18*^ 
cent.,  the  previous  structure  having 
been  destroyed  by  an  earthquake. 

A  Monument  to  Bellini  and  Villa 
Bellini  complete  the  list  of  important 
sights  within  the  town.  But  Catania, 
being  the  largest  town  near  the  foot  of 

^tna,  it  forms  the  chief  centre 
whence  to  ascend  this  remarkable  moun- 
tain, which,  10,745  feet  in  height  and 
formed  principally  of  ash  and  lava,  has 
the  form  of  an  enormous  sugar-loaf. 
Around  the  base  of  the  mountain  a  cir- 
cular railway  runs,  the  carriaga  -  route 
being  the  Strada  Etna,  which  passes  the 
beautiful  park  of  Marquis  San  Giuliano, 
and  ends  at  Nicolosi  where,  to  the  left, 
the  red  cones  of  Monti  Ross^  rise.  From 
this  little  town,  the  long  ascent  begins. 
About  1,000  feet  from  the  constantly 
changing  crater,  stands  the  observatory, 
where  tourists  commonly  spend  the 
night  in  order  t^  witness  the  wonderful 
sunrise  next  morning.  The  indescribable 
beauty  of  this  spectacle  is  doabtless  due 
to  a  doable  cause:  firstly,  the  situation 
of  the  mountain  on  the  marge  of  the 
limitless  sea  enables  one  to  see  the 
sunlight  long  before  the  sun  itself  ap- 
pears: secondly,  this  light  is  tinted  by 
the  fine  volcanic  dust  of  the  crater; 
so  HtxAt  the  colouring  possesses  a  superb 
splendour,  first  golden,  then  purple; 
and,  as  the  light  descends  the  cone, 
a  lovely  violet  shadow  is  cast  acroas 
the  lana  towards  the  west. 

The  descent  is  made  back  to  Niccoloai, 
whence  a  road  leads  past  P«>dara  to 

AC  IB  BALE  (POP.:  25^000.  —  HOT.:

TAORMINA,  the  Tauromenium  of 
the    Romans,    is    a    celebrated     old 
city  magnificently  situated  on  a  rocky 
terrace   of  the  Sicilian   coast,     it    is 
overlooked     by    the    ruins    of    the 
Castle   and   the   still    more    elevated 
village    of    Mola.      The    place    takes 
its  name  from  Mount  Tauros  (Italian: 
Toro)    on    whose  slopes  it  stood  in 
ancient     times.      Founded     by     the 
Siculi  in  396  B.  C,  it  passed  through 
many  severe    vicissitudes  during   the 
days    of    the   Punic    wars    and 
Saracen  invasion.  Indeed,  the  Mus 
mans  practically  exterminated  the 
population  and  supplanted  it  by 
of  their  own  race  and  faith.     At 
wards,   it   passed    into  the  hands 
the    Normans   and    later   on   ol 
French. 

The    city    is    thus    chiefly    i'

The  situation  of  Messina  on    the 
straits  severing  Sicily  from  Calabria 


is  exceedingly  beautiful.  Before  it 
stretch  the  blue  waters  that  separate 
it  from  the  bold  peaks  of  the  Apen- 
nines; while,  behind  it,  rise  the  rugged 
heights  of  Sicily;  and,  within,  the 
harbour  forms  a  busy  and  picturesque 
scene.  Indeed,  the  place  is  one  of 
the  most  charmingly  located  in  Italy 
and,  apart  from  its  extensive  com- 
merce, possesses  many  attractions, 
not  only  in  its  superb  scenery,  but 
also  in  its  edifices.   - 

Of  these,  the  most  noteworthy  are 
the  following,  namely: — 

The  Cathedral,  a  Norman  foun- 
dation commenced  at  the  close  of 
the  nth  cent.:  it  possesses  a  mo- 
dernised interior  and  a  transept  and

exterior  the  finest  part  is  the  early- 
Gothic  fa9ade.  The  decoration  of 
the  interior  is,  in  many  parts,  very 
sumptuous,  but  not  always  tasteful: 
the  high-a]tar,  the  elegant  choir  stalls, 
some  mosaics  and  a  Renaissance  altar

which  took  place  within  its  walls 
during  the  revolution  of  1848. 

At  the  commencement  of  Strada 
S.  Teresa  there  are  a  number  of 
churches,  of  which  the  most  important 
are  .SiS.  Cosma  e  Damiano,  S.  Anna, 
5.  Rocco,  S.  Gregorio  with  its  convent 
(now  the  depository  of  the  Museum). 
Several  villas  and  the  Palazzo  Muni-

remaining  edifices. 

The  harbour  possesses  a  large  and

of  the  province  of  which  it  is  the 
^chief  town,  the  great  altitude  of  the 
place  rendering  '\\s  climate  temperate 
and  agreeable.    * 

During  the  middle -ages,  it  played 
a  leading  part  in  the  affairs  of  Italy, 
espousing  the  cause  of  the  Ghibelline 
taction  against  the  Gnelphs  of  Florence. 
Moreover,  from  the  13th  till  the  16th 
centories  it  was  an  art-centre  rivalling 
those  of  Florence,  Bome  and  Venice, 
and,  having  retained  its  medissval  aspect 
and  manners  to  a  remarkable  degree, 
still  forms  one  of  the  most  suitable 
places  for  the  study  of  the  painting  and 
wood-carving  of  this  important  period. 

The  chief  buildings,  which  cluster 
round  the  Piazza  del  Campo,  are 
the  following: — 

On  the  S.  side  of  the  square,  the 
Palazzo  '^Puhhlico  (1300),  a  vast 
brick  structure  in  characteristically 
Sieneie  style  with  Ogival  windows, 
a    14ih    cent   tower    and    a   chapel

numerous  art  treasures,  the  frescoes 
being  specially  noteworthy. 

Opposite  stands  the  Casino  dm

other  churches  of  note  are  those  of

This  ancient  town,  surrounded  by 
walls    and    pinnacles,    is    charmingly 
situated    in    the  fertile  valley    of  the 
river  Arno.     It  is  the  capital  of  the 
province   and    the  seat    of  a  univer- 
sity.     On    the    E.   and   N.  E.,   it    is 
ch^itered    by    Monti  Pisani,   a    pic- 
esque    range    of    hills,     the    lofty 
m  walls  also  affording  protection

imer,  it  is  a  well-kowh  wintering- 
:e  for  patients  suffering  from  pul- 
ary  complaints. 

he  broad  and  beautiful  promenade 
t^oth    banks  of  the  Arno,    which 


intersects  the  city,  is  the  chief  resort 
of  visitors.  Here  are  the  finest  cafes 
and  hotels.  The  river  is  crossed  at  four 
different  points  by  bridges:  —  Poni€ 
di  Mezzo  in  the  centre,  —  above  it, 
the  Ponte  alia  Fortezza,  —  below 
it,  the  Ponte  Solferino,  and  out- 
side the  town,  Ponte  di  Perro, 

Proceeding  to  Piazza  del  Duamo, 
we  have  before  us  the  beautiful  CeMU' 
dral,  the  Baptistery  (Battistero),  the 
Leaning  Tower  and  the  CompoSauU, 
forming  an  imposing  group. 

The  Cathedral  was  begun  (1063) 
by  the  celebrated  Busketus  and 
finished  by  his  pupil  Rainaldus  in 
the  Tuscano-Romanesque  style.  Be- 
tween the  years  1597  and  1604,  it 
was  restored  after  a  fire  which  greatly 
damaged  the  nave.

marble,  its  greatest  beauty  is  itsfa9ade; 
while  it  possesses  an  oval  dome,  « 
nave  and  double  aisles,  and  transepts 
flanked 'With  aisles. 

The  lower  story  is  ornamented  with 
arches  and  columns,  four  rows  one 
above  the  other,gradually  diminishing  in 
length,  and  forming  four  open  galleries. 

The  richly  gilded,  flat.  Renaissance 
ceiling  of  the  nave,  where  hangs  the 
beautiful  bronze  lamp  designed  by 
Batiista  Lorenzi  (the  swaying  of  which 
is  said  to  have  suggested  the  pendulum 
to  Galileo),  and  the  magnificent  choir, 
as  well  as  the  beautiful  paintings  and 
statues,  are  worthy  of  inspection. 

The  Baptistery  (Battistero)  is  k 
beautiful  circular  building  constructed 
entirely  of  marble  (100  ft.  in  diameter), 
in  the  12th  «nd  13th  centuries.  It  is 
surrounded  b}*  columns  and  surmounted 
by  a  conical  dome,  190  ft.  high.  In 
the  interior,  near  the  centre,  is  the 
celebrated  Pulpit  executed  by  Nicolo 
Pisano  in  1260  and  supported  by 
seven  pillars. 

The  Campanile,  or  clock-tower, 
usually  known  as  the  Leaning  Tower, 
is  an  imposing  structure  (176  ft.  high), 
begun  by  iBonannus  of  Pisa  and 
William  of  Innsbruck  (1174),  and 
finished  by  Tommaso  Pisano  (1350). 
It  is  cylindrical  in  form,  and  sur- 
rounded, like  the  Baptistery,  with  half- 
columns,  and  six  colonnades  rising  in 
eight  stories  one  above  the  other.  ' 

Ths  leaning  position   of  the  tower 


has  given  rise  to  much  discu^sioFi ; 
but  the  general  opmion  is  that  the 
south  side,  sinking  in  the  course  ot 
construction,  the  remainder  was 
adapted  to  the  peculiar  situttipn.  This, 
too,  was  the  opinion  of  GalileOf  who 
took  advantage  oltb«  obliqueness  ortho 
tower  in  conducting  his  experiments. 
Moreover,  the  same  view  is  supported 
by  the  fact  that  several  other  itruc-

LEGHORN,  situated  by  the  blue  and 
smiling  Mediterranean,  is  the  capital  of 
the  piovince  of  the  same  name  and  a 
thoroughly  modern  city  with  broad  and 
well -paved  streets  and  large  public 
squares.  As  »  watering-place  it  is  cnieily 
frequented  in  Summer  by  Italians. 
But  its  fine  harbour  and  the  ease  and 
rapidity  with  which  Corsica  (6  hrs.  to 
Ajaccio)  may  be  reached  render  it  an 
international  resort. 

The  beautiful  Viale  Regina  Mar- 
gherita  stretches  a  distance  of  3  km. 
along  the  shore  to  the  village  of 
Ardenza  and,  thence,  to  Antiguano, 
Everywhere,  the  tourist  finds  elegant 
hotels  and  sea-baths,  luxurious  cafes 
and  delightful  terraces. 

Open  to  the  cool  northwest  winds, 
the  place  is  a  very  pleasant  summer- 
resort;  indeed,  its  pine-woods  and 
delightful  climate  render  it  one  of 
the  most  fashionable  watering-places 
in  Italy. 

The  town  has  much  in  common  with 
Venice,  Many  of  the  blocks  are  built 
on  piles  and  joined  by  bridges,  thus 
forming  numerous  islands.  At  different 
points,  it  is  intersected  b^  canals  and 
connected  with  the  Arno  —  hence  it 
is  often  called  *'Venezia",

Leghorn's  source  of  wealth  is  its 
large  harbour,  second  only  to  that  of 
Genoa.  The  old  basin,  Porto  Mediceo, 
being  too  shallow  to  admit  vessels  of 
heavy  tonnage,  Leopold  II.  began  the 
Porto  Nuovo.  About  2,626  ieet  from 
the  Old  Molo  is  a  semi-circular  mole, 
3,710  ft  long,  which  protects  it  from 
the  open  sea.  Between  the  old  and 
the  new  harbour,  about  985  feet 
from  the  Porto  Mediceo,  is  the  great 
Lighthouse,  170  ft.  high,  sending  its 
gleaming  light  at  regular  intervals  a 
distance  of  24  km.  From  its  plat- 
form, one  obtains  a  fine  view  of  the 
town,  the  valley  of  the  Arno,  and  the 
blue  tea,  with  the  islands  of  Gorgona, 
Meloria,  Capraja  and  Elba, 

In  viewing  the  sights  of  the  town, 
it  is  advisable  to  start  from  the  station 
and  follow  the  tramway  to  the  Piazza 
Undid  Maggio  and  the  Via  Palestra 
to  Piazza  Garibaldi,  where  stands  a 
beautiful  marble  statue  of  Garibaldi.  The 
Piazza  Carlo  Alberto  is  quite  near. 
Here  are  two  magnificent  statues  of 
Leopold  II.  and  Ferdinand  IIL,  the 
last  grand-dukes  of  Tuscany. 

We  retarn  to  Piazia  Carlo  Alberto^ 
and  enter  the  principal  street  of  Leg- 
horn, the  TU  Fittorio  Emanaeley  -which 
oronee  the  town  from  E.  to  W.  Here 
it  the  Cathedral  with  its  Dorio  pillars. 


The  fldlt  ceiling  is  its  greatest  beauty. 
The  uiree  paintings  by  Ligozzi,  Cresti 
and  Clementi  greatly  enhance  its  artistic 


worth.  The  altar  is  of  varioas-colonred 
marbles  of  great  value. 

To  the  S.  the  handsome  Synagogney 
founded  in  1581,  and  the  Piazza  CaTOur 
with  a  marble  statue  of  Camlllo  Benso, 
Count  of  Caroar,  by  the  sculptor  Vi- 
oenzo  GenL 

On  the  Piazza  Hieheli  is  a  statue 
in  bronse  of  Ferdinand  !•  with  four 
Turkish  slaves  ('I  quattro  Mori')  by 
Pietro  Tocca.  It  is  the  most  beautiful 
of  Leghorn's  statues.

VIAREOaiO  was  founded  by  the 
Lncchesans  in  the  middle-ages.  As  early 
at  the  12tb  cent,  a  tower  stood  20  metres 
from  the  present  Custom  House.  Around 
it  repeated  struggles  took  place  between 
the  Lucohesans  and  the  Pisans,  the 
former  remaining  finally  victorious  and 
establishing  a  settlement  on  the  spot. 
Dnrin|r  the  following  four  centuries  the 
elevation  of  the  coast  left  the  tower 
600  metres  inland;  and  in  1534  it  was 
demolished  to  obtain  material  for  the 
construction  of  a  new  one  on  the  coast. 
This  received  the  name  of  Viareggio 
from  the  name  of  the  road  "Via  Begia*' 
which  ran  past  it. 

Bound  tnis  grew  up  the  town  with 
a  harbour  that  made  it  a  place  of  some 
commercial  importance;  while  its  plea- 
sant situation  drew  numerous  visitors 
to  its  strand.  As  a  consequence  it  de- 
veloped, during  the  last  century,  into 
a  resort  much  frequented  in  winter  by 
Italians,  and  has  lately  become  a  winter 
resort  of  infemational  celebrity. 

It  affords  good  sea-bathing  and  pos- 
sesses several  fine  squares  and  some 
noteworthy  public  buildings. 

On  the  Piazza  Principe  Amedeo  there 
stands  a  beautiful  monument  to  Shellev, 
whose  remains  were  cremated  here  in 
accordance  with  Italian  law.  The  mo- 
nument, which  is  from  the  chisel  of 
Urbano  Lnochesi,  consists  of  a  bust  sup- 
ported bjr  a  pedestal  bearing  the  foUow- 

X  in|icription:—

Shelley  was  drowned  in  a  s<][uall  off 
8  coast  while  returning  in  his  yacht 
•m  Leghorn. 

Viareggio    possesses   a   famous    and 

■-ensive  pine-forest;  and  the  walks  in 

neighbourhood  are  very  beautiful. 


The  district  between  Viareggio  and 
Spezia  consists  largely  of  limestone 
mountains  which  yield  Carrara  marble. 
Several  towns  are  engaged  in  the 
quarrying,  the  chief  being  Massa  and 
Carrara.  The  former  is  a  pleasantly 
situated  town  of  9,000  inhab.  lying

This  beautiful  town  is  situated  at  the 
N.W.  angle  of  the  Gulf  of  Spesia,  and 
surrounded  by  two  branches  of  the 
Apennines,  which  terminate  in  the  gulf. 
It  has  a  very  mild  climate,  not  unlike 
that  of  Pisa,  and  is  a  popular  winter* 
resort  of  the  English ;  while,  in  summer, 
the  Italians  use  it  for  sea-bathing. 

The  harbour,  one  of  the  finest  in 
Europe,  is  the  principal  naval  station 
of  Italy.  Napoleon  Buonaparte  per- 
ceived its  fine  natural  advantages, 
and  wished  to  make  it  the  first 
naval  harbour  of  the  Mediterranean 
and  to  found  here  a  splendid  city. 
Later,  his  plans  of  fortification  were 
taken  up,  and  in  1861,  the  new 
Arsenal,  which  covers  half  the  town, 
was  begun. 

The  entrance  to  the  gulf  is  pro- 
tected by  several  hill-forts  and  an 
embankment  2  miles  long,  construct- 
ed in  1874,  besides  two  forts.  Sania 
Maria  (W.),  and  Santa  Teresa  (E.), 

The  Royal  Dockyard  is  a  large 
establishment,  stretching  from  the

bay  at    Jhe    foot    of  a   beautiful    hill 


clad  with  groves  of  olive,  orangCx  and

obtained  for  it  the  cognomen  of  the 
Beaulieu  of  Riviera  Levante. 

The  climate  is  mild  and  equable, 
—  the  sea-breezes  invigorating  and 
refreshing ;  while  the  surrounding

most  beautiful  site  in  Rapallo.  Its 
splendid  installation,  its  tasteful  ele- 
gance, its  lofiy  and  luxurious  saloons 
and  the  beautiful  views  which  it  com- 
mands have  earned  for  it  great  cele- 
brity. In  the  neighbourhood,  extremely 
interesting  excursions  may  be  under- 
taken along  the  sea -shore  as  well 
as  up  the  wooded  heights  and  into

a  !■*  class  hotel  is  to  follow  in  a  year  or  so. 
The  epot  (1,800  feet)  has  been  named 

PORTOFINO- KULM  owing  to  its 
magnificent  situation,  which  commands 
the  Riviera  both  to  the  east  and  the 
west  (Levante  and  Ponente).  The  best 
route  is  from  Rapallo,  S.  Margherita 
or  Recco  via  Ruta,  where  there 
commences  a  fine  new  road,  1  mile 
in  length  and  7  yards  wide.  Motor- 
cars for  a  few  lire  run  3  or  4  times 
daily  from  Rapallo  or  Recco  Stations.

^sorts  of  the  Riviera  di  Uvante. 
i"®  chmate  does  not  differ  essentially 
b  ttK^*^  of  other  places  of  the  district ; 
^t  the  protection  from  the  north-wind 
anorded  by  the  hills  and  the  high 
embankment  of  the  railway  behind 
the  town  renders  it  perhaps  more 
^nan  usually  suitable  for  invalids, 
who  are  thus  enabled  to  remain  on 
the  strand  throughout  the  day. 
_  fodeed,    as    early  as   the    opening 


of  the  17th  century,  Nervi  was 
famous  for  the  mildness  of  its  climate. 
In  ^^Les  etats,  emp.  princ.  du  monde*' 
published  at  Geneva  in  the  year  1619 
we    find    the     following    passage: — 

*The  little  town  of  Nervi  possesses 
the  best  and  balmiest  air  that  one  can 
desire.  Here  are  flowers  in  a  pleni- 
tude and  variety  such  as  only  the 
liveliest  imagination  can  conceive;  so 
many  fruits  that  the  place  is  like  an 
earthly  paradise ;  here  no  season  is 
known  but  Spring  and  Autumn". 

In    past  centuries    the    place    was

the  favourite  resort  of  the  Genoese 
magnates  whose  handsome  villas 
still  bear  witness  to  their  love  of 
the  spot. 

It  was,  however,  not  until  1863 
that  the  resort  began  to  come  into 
vogue  as  a  winter  station.  In  that  year 
the  sindaco,  the  Marquis  Gaetano 
Gropallo,  by  building  an  hotel,  took 
the  initial  step  in  the  development 
of  Ihe  town. 

After   this,    namerous   other    hotels 

were  ereoted:    the   fine    Viale    Vittorio 

Eraanueie  was  constructed  and  planted 

-vith  palms  and  orange-trees;  the  Town 

iali  was  built;  the  square  in  front  of 


it  formed;   and  the  delightftil  road  to 
St.  Ilario  opened  to  traffic 

The  place  possesses  several  beautiful 
villas,  some  of  which  are  ueneraUy  open 
to  the  public:  Yilla  Gropallo,  with  its 
picturesque  tower  on  the  shore,  is  sur- 
rounded with  palm-trees  and  camelia 
shrubs:  the  grounds  of  Tilla  Croee, 
YlUa  Gneeeo  and  Tllla  Serra  are 
likewise  filled  with  luxuriant  vege- 
tation. 

The  finest  EXCUBSI0N8  are  up 
the  Yalley  of  the  Nerrl,  the  ronte  to 
follow  being  that  which  leads  from 
Piazza  del  Monielplo  across  Campo* 
santo.  The  chief  hills  are  Monte  More 
Hud  Honte  S.  Croce,  both  of  which, 
together  with  Sant'  Ilario»  command 
beautiful  prospects.

the  original  edifice.  Among  the  contents, 
there  are  numerous  works  of  art  in-

feet)  commanding  view   of  city, 
)ur  and  the  coast-line  from  Porto- 
flno  to  Capo  Mele. 

Leaving  the  town  by  the  Gate  oL 
San  Bartolomeo,  we  folio  ir  a  new  road 
dipping  down  into  the  Bisasno  Valley, 
past  Staglieno  to  the  beautifcd  Cemetery 
of  Staglieno.  The  situation  of  the  spot 
Is  superb;  and  the  monuments  it  con* 
tains  are,  in  many  oases,  very  handsome. 
Among  them  that  to  Massini. 

To  the  west  of  the  town  lies  the  fine 
port,  with  its  long  moles  and  its  five 
lighthouses.  Beyond  it,  the  coast  line, 
as  far  as  the  Polcevera,  is  occupied  by  the 
growing  suburb  of  Sampierdarena  or 

SAN  PIBB  D'ABENA  (POP.t  20,00Q), 
eontaining  numerous  handsome  villas 
and  beautiful  gardens.  The  importance 
of  the  place  may  be  seen  from  the  fact 
that  the  Gredito  Italiaao  has  established 
a  branch  here. 

The  station  is  the  junction  for  the  Novi 
lines  up  the  river-banks  and  for  the  coast 
line  to  Sestri  Ponente  &  Pegli  (see  below). 
Genoa  is  surrounded  with  fine  heights, 
which  are  best  approached  by  the  beau- 
tiful TIa  dl  GirconTallasione  a  Monte, 
skirting  the  hill-sides  in  lon^  curves  past

and  the  coast- line  from  Portoflno  Pro- 
Bioatory  to  Savona  being  exceedingly  fine-

PEGU,  within  easy  reach  of  Genoa, 
is  much  frequented  by  the  Genoese  on 
account  of  its  fine  strand.  Though  lying 
in  the  Riviera,  it  differs  from  the  other 
watering -places  of  the  district  in  two 
respects :  the  place  is  less  completely  en- 
closed by  surrounding  hills,  and  is,  there- 
fore, not  quite  so  warm  as  the  distinctly 
winter-stations,  thoagh  many  spend  the 
winter  months  here;  on  the  other  hand, 
the  heights  are  beautifully  wooded,  and 
the  sylvan  scenery  very  attractive  to 
pedestrians  and  other  excarsionists. 

The  bulk  of  the  population  consists  of 
fisher-folk  and  sailors;  but  many  of  the 
Genoese  nobility,  having  chosen  the  place 
as  their  country  residence,  have  built,  on 
the  green  slopes  of  the  hills,  numerous 
fine  villas  which  form  the  principal  at- 
traction of  the  town.  Among  them,  the 
most  striking  are  Tllla  Bostan,  TiUa 
Dorla  and  Tills  Plgnone:  Passegglats  del 
TUlial  and  Villa  PallsvieiBl  are  very 
celebrated  for  the  beautiful  views  they 
command.  The  latter  is  the  most  famous 
in  Pegli,  and  is  styled  by  the  inhabitants 
briefly  <<The  Tllla".  It  is  open  to  the 
public  from  10  a.  m.  till  8  p.  m.,  the  in- 
spection occupying  two  nours.  The 
grounds  are  filled  with  luxuriant  sub- 
tropical and  even  tropical  vegetation,  — 
Welling-tonias,  tea-plants,  bamboos  fto. 
thriving  well  in  the  warm  climate. 

Moreover,  the  route,  which  leads  past 
an  artificial  grotto  containing  a  fine 
stalactite,  affords,  on  the  way,  some 
most  lovely  glimpses  of  the  sea  and 
coast.  The  railroad  and  the  Via  Aurelia 
follow  the  coast -line  past  CogoletOf 
and  other  small  places  to  Savona.

A  knight,  named  Alderan^  was  en* 
do  wed  witb  mufvb  beauty  and  talent. 
Hii  nxtraordinary  gifts  attracting  tbe 
attfltition  of  the  Emperof'a  lovely 
d&tigbter,  Adalfula,  she  fell  madly  in 
love  -with  tba  knigbt.  Her  love  was 
warmly  retnimedf  and  the  pair,  eloping, 
hid  thiBmaelTeB  hetwoen  the  irkOOntKinB 
and  UiA  flea  Here,  Aide  ran  and  AdclH^ia 
lived  many  yea ra,  the  former  labouring 
ad  a  eh  arc  oal' burner,  while  the  latter 
beoame  the  happy  mocher  of  aevea 
sturdy  sons.  In  advanoins  years,  the 
Emperor  oame  to  Italy;  and  the  Bishop 
of  Albenga  contrived  to  reconcile  him 
to  hiB  daughter.  The  Emperor,  touched 
by  the  sight  of  his  handsome  grand- 
sons, forgave  Alderan,  and  loaded  him 
with  riches;  whereupon  Alderan  founded 
a  town  on  the  spot  where  he  had  lived 
so  long  and  so  happily,  and  called  it| 
in  memory  of  hia  wife,  Alassio. 

This  wonderful  town  has  now  become, 
on  account  of  its  sheltered  situation,  a 
much  -  freauented  winter- resort  as  well 
as  a  favourite  summer  watering-place.  It 
lies  in  the  romantic  Gulf  of  Porto  Salvo, 
surrounded  by  olive -dad  mountains. 
Thesa  heights,  namely.  Capo  Mele  tothe 
W.  and  Capo  Santa  Croee  to  the  B., 
completely  protect  the  town  against 
bleak  winds.  ^Indeed,  the  natural  quali- 
fications of  the  place  as  a  dimatio  health- 
resort  ara  most  admirable.

SAN  REMO  stands  in'  a  beautiful 
bay  and  on  the  banks  of  the  turbulent 
San  Romolo  and  Convento,  Divided 
by  the  former  stream  into  an  eastern 
and  a  western  half,  the  place  is 
completely  enclosed  by  a  crescent  of 
hills,  the  spurs  of  the  Apennines, 
and  the  Maritime  Alps,  the  climate 
being  thus  rendered  exceedingly  mild. 
Even  where  the  valleys  open  they  are 
so  curved  as  to  prevent  the  winds 
from  being  felt  in  the  town.  The  day 
temperature  in  v/inter  varies  between 
3  &  5  degrees;  fog,  frost  and  snow  are 
unknown;  rain  is  rare;  greensward 
and  fragrant  flowers  deck  the  gentle 
slopes  of  the  hills.  San  Remo  is  thus 
>ne  of  the  most  favoured  watering- 
>laces  on  the  whole  of  the  Riviera,  its 
>eauty  and  its  climate  attract  many 
housands  of  visitors  annually. 

The  old  town,  scrupulously  e%an 


m 


and  divided  into  the  districts  of  Pigra 
and  Costiglioliy  is  a  cluster  of  houses, 
with  narrow  and  tortuous  streets 
occupying  a  steep  hill  between  the 
San  Romolo  and  the  Convento.  Rising 
one  above  the  other  on  the  steep 
slopes  of  the  hill  in  indescribable  irre- 
gularity and  joined  together  by  arches 
designed  to  strengthen  them  against 
earthquake,  the  pile  of  houses  pre- 
sents a  very  picturesque  appearance. 
Gnarled  vines  of  great  age  hug  the 
old  walls  of  the  town,  and  form  ever 
and  anon  arbours  on  the  terraces  of 
the  roofs:  here  and  there  a  quaint  and 
curious  house  arrests  the  attention  of 
some  artist  and  becomes  the  subject  for 
a  pretty  aquarel;  while,  from  the  tower 
that  crowns  the  hill,  a  grand  view  is 
obtained  of  the  surrounding  scenery. 
Among  the  numerous  interesting 
buildings   of  the  old  town  the  most 


SANBEMO-  HOTEL  SAVOY  (Riviera aaly) 


The  most  modern  first-claits  Hotel  in  San  Remo.  150  Rooms  and  Saloons.  Suites  of 
apartments  with  private  bath  and  lavatory.  Every  room  with  balcony  and  dressing-

notable  are:—  the  Church  ofSanSiro, 
an  1 1th  century  structure  containing 
valuable  frescoes  and  other  paintings: 
the  Church  of  Madonna  delta  Costa, 
with  a  picture  dedicated  to  St.  Luke; 
and  the  Palazzo  Borea,  which  has 
been  the  residence  of  various  cele- 
brated personages. 

It  may  also  be  noted  that  San 
Remo  possesses  three  ancient  gates, 
the  town  having  been  formerly  pro- 
tected by  ramparts  against  the  in- 
cursions of  pirates. 

In  remarkable  contrast  to  the  old 
town,  stands  the  strangers'  quarter, 
with  its  splendid  mansions  and  villas 
and  fine  modern  hotels.  Indeed,  the 
new  town  is  one  of  the  superbest 
watering-places  in  the  Riviera.  The 
buildings  are  interspersed  with  palm 
gardens;  the  promenades,  lined  with 
trees,  are  delightfully  shady,  and 
afford,  at  every  turn,  glorious  glimpses 
f  the  deep-blue  sea. 


The  principal  street  is  Via  Viitorio 
Emanuete:  at  its  western  end  lies  the 
Giardino  Pubblico,  beyond  which,  an 
extension,  lined  with  palms  and  pepper-^ 
trees,  and  called  Corso  dell*  Impera- 
trice,  forms  the  favourite  winter 
promenade.  At  the  end  of  the  *corso' 
lies  a  beautiful  garden,  filled  with 
palms  and  other  tropical  vegetation, 
and  named  Giardino  dell'  Imperatrice 
in  honour  of  its  creator,  the  Empress 
Maria  of  Russia. 

In  these   western   districts   of  the 
town    stand    the   Rococo    Cathedral 
and  the  finest  of  its  villas,  such  -" 
Villa    Bracco,     the     turretted    1 
Marsaglia  and  the  particularly  \ 
tiful  Villa  HUttner;   while   a    c 
along   the   Corso  Ponente    and    t 
up    Via    Berigo,    which    climbs 
slope    of   the    hill    behind    the   t 
and  offers  charming  views  at  r 
turn,  leads  past 

Tilla  Thiem.    This  mansion,  '

SAN  REMO:  Panorama  da  ColdirodU 


in  1807,  containi  a  ▼alnable  Pleftvre 
Oallerj,  broaght  from  GermaDV  and 
oonsisting  chiefly  of  works  of  the  Datoh 
and  Flemish  sohools.  Among  the  masters 
represented,  specimens  will  be  found 
of  Jan  Steen,  Van  Dyok.  Bembrandt 
and  many  other  artists  of  leading  rank. 
The  building,  too,  possesses  a  handsome 
yestibule  and  staircase,  and  is  opened 
to  the  public  twice  a-week. 

The  drive  should  be  continued  past 
the  villa  lo  the  'rondel*,  the  prospect 
here  being  surprisingly  beautiful. 

From  the  'rondel',  one  may  proceed 
northwards  to  the  San  Romolo,  or 
through  a  narrow  lane  down  to 
Vittorio  Emanuele.   Then,  turning  lefl- 

ds,  we  visit  the  eastern  districts 

the  watering-place.  We  pass 
theatre  beneath  the  old  town, 
,  turning  again  to  the  left,  reach 
Corso  Garibaldi  and  Via  di 
ittcia  which,  converging  at  the 
aklet  named  S.  Lorenzo,  form  a 
'js  whence  the  Corso  di  Levante 
3S.     Here    stands    Villa    Zirio, 


far-famed  as  the  residence  of  the 
Emperor  Frederick  of  Germany  when 
crown -prince.  At  the  same  end 
of  the  town  lies  the  East  Bay,  a 
sheltered  spot  much  favoured  by 
Germans  desiring  to  make  a  long 
stay  at  San  Remo.  The  side  turn- 
ings of  the  Via  Vittorio  Emanuele 
run  down  across  Via  Roma  towards 
the  harbour,  which,  recently  extended 
and  deepened  lo  receive  the  numer- 
ous large  yachts  constantly  cruising 
in  the  Mediterranean,  is  worth 
visiting  for  the  sake  of  the  excellent 
superview  of  the  town  obtainable 
from  its  mole. 

Finally;  new  golf-links,  with  nine 
holes,  have  been  formed,  in  connec- 
tion with  which  there  is  a  Club 
House  providmg  good  luncheons, 
teas  &c.,  —  application  to  be  made 
to  "The  Bank". 

In  the  Public  Gardens  concerts 
are   given  thrice  weekly;    and  balls,

This  little  town  has  but  recently  at- 
tracted general  attention  Owing,  how- 
eyer.  to  its  delightful  situation  on  Capo 
St.  Ameglio,  it  is  rapidly  growing  in 
faTonr.  The  strangers'  quarter  —  with 
railway  station,  hotels  &c.  —  stretolies 
along  the  shore,  the  old  town  lying  on 
the  hilly  cape  above.  The  town  nestles 
amon^  delightful  groves  of  olive,  palm 
and  pine;  while  floriculture  adds  to  the 
beauty  of  the  surrounding?.  Divided  in 
varions  directions  by  the  old  Via  Aurelia 
Onow  called  Strada  Romana),  >>y  Via 
vittorio  Emanuele,  Via  Bischoffsbeiro, 
Via  Imperatrice  Tederico  &  Via  Uegina 
Ma^herita,  the  place  contains  numerous 
and  fine  hotels,  beautiful  villas  and  a 
mnseum  owing  its  existence  to  Mr.  Bick- 
nell:  this,  with  its  reading-room,  free 
library  (containing  over  lO.OOo  vo's)., 
'^noert-hali  and  collections  of  minerals 


and  local  flora,  greatly  adds  to  the 
pleasure  of  a  stay  at  Bordighera. 

The  climate  of  the  watering  -  place 
resembles  that  of  Mentone,  but  gets 
more  sunshine  and  is  more  bracing. 
Dr.  Ghristeller  remarks  'that  Bordighera, 
owing  to  its  situation  on  a  headland, 
possesses  a  climate  differing  somewhat 
from  the  neighbouring  winter- stations 
of  Mentone,  O^ipedaletti  and  San  Bemo. 
True,  it  is  sheltered  towards  the  N., 
£.  and  N.W.  by  the  Maritime  Alps, 
Gape  Montenero  and  Ventimiglia,  which 
protect  it  from  strong  winds;  but  it 
is  still  breezier  than  the  bays  mentioned 
above'.  He  further  states  that  the  air  is 
warm  and  dry,  but  bracing  in  character, 
and  that  the  barometrical  pressure  variea 
accordino:  to  the  situation  chosen.

FRANCE. 


GEOGRAPHICAL  SITUATION 
iec.  France,  with  «  population  of 
39,000,000,  has  an  area  of  536,400 
square  kilometres.  It  has  the  form 
of  an  irregular  hectagon,  with  an 
extensive  coast-line,  t>eing  bordered 
to  the  north  by  the  British  Channel 
(La  Manche),  to  the  west  by  the 
Atlantic  and  to  the  south  by  the 
Mediterranean.  The  country,  which 
is,  in  general,  undulating  and,  in 
parts,  mountainous,  is  separated  from 
Spain  by  the  Pyrenees,  from  Italy 
and  Switzerland  by  the  Alps,  and 
from  Germany  by  the  Vosgcs:  the 
Belgian  boundary  is  not  marked  by 
any  geographical  formation. 

This  territory  lies  in  the  temperate 
zone  and  has  a  mild  and  equable 
climate,  the  -southern  districts  pos- 
sessing numerous  winter-resorts. 

LANGUAGE.  The  French  tongue 
has  received  more  careful  cultivation 
than,  perhaps,  any  other.  It  is  not 
merely  an  elegant  language,  but  is 
elegantly  spoken  by  all  classes. 
Moreover,  since  the  introduction  or 
railways,  the  imposition  of  military 
service  and  of  obligatory  instruction, 
dialect  is  rapidly  disappearing.  Of 
the  ancient  idioms  once  in  use,  all 
that  now  remain  are  those  of  Bas- 
Bretagne,  Provence,  Gascoigne  and 
of  Basses  Pyrenees.  The  first  of 
these  is  Celtic,  the  last  Basque.  The 
remainder  are  dialects  either  of  French 
or  Italian. 

}OVERNMENT.  The  republic 
France  was  proclaimed  on  the  4th 
September  1870.  The  legislative 
ixercised  by  two  assemblies,  namely, 
Chamber  of  Deputies  and  the  Senate. 
}  former  is  composed  of  some  600 
nbers  elected  by  universal  suffrage: 
latter,  consisting  of  about  300 
ibers,   is   elected  by  the  depart- 


ments and  the  colonies.  In  accordance 
with  a  special  law  of  December  the 
9th  1884.  The  president  of  the  republic, 
whose  mandate  lasts  seven  years,  is 
chosen  by  the  Chamber  and  Senate 
sitting  as  the  National  Assembly. 

For  administrative  purposes,  France 
is  divided  into  86  departments  and  one 
territory  (Belfort):  each  department, 
governed  by  a  prefect  and  several 
assistant  prefects,  is  sub-divided  into 
Arrondissements,  Cantons  and  Com- 
munes. In  ecclesiastical  matters,  the 
'Concordat'  introduced  by  Napoleon 
and  Pope  Pius  VII.  is  still  in  force:  the 
dioceses  correspond,  generally,  to  the 
departmental  divisions,  and  have  at 
their  head  a  bishop  or  archbishop. 

The  direction  of  the  affairs  of 
state  rests  with  11  offices,  namely, 
the  'tninisthres*  of 

(1)  Affaires  etrangeres,  (2)  Agri-  ^ 
culture,  (3)  Marine,  (4)  Colonies,  (6) 
Commerce  (Industrie,  Postes  et  Tele- 
graphes),  (6)  Finances,  (7)  Guerre, 
(8)  Int^rieur  et  Cultes,  (9)  Justice, 
(10)  Agriculture,  (11)  Travaux  Publics, 
(12)  Instruction  publique  et  Beaux 
Arts. 

WATER-WAYS,  Four  large  rivers 
part  France  into  four  basins.  They  are: 

The  Seine,  with  its  navigable 
tributaries,  the  Eure,  Youne,  Auhe, 
Oise  and  the  Marne,  The  Rhdne, 
whose  principal  effluences  are  the 
Ain,  Islre,  Durance,  Sadne  and  the 
Doubs,  which  fertilise  the  most  pic- 
turesque district  of  the  country. 

The  Loire,  which  receives  the  waters 
of  the  Vilaine,  Mayenne,  Sarthe, 
Cher,  Allier,  Creuse  and  Vienne. 

The  Gironde  is  formed  by  the 
confluence  of  the  two  beautiful  rivers 
Dordogne  and  Garonne,  their  tri- 
butaries being  the  Lot,  Tarn,  Arilge 
and  GerSn 


706 


TheM  four  fine  streams  are  supple- 
tnented  by  12  canals,  ranging  from 
100  to  320  kilometres  in  length,  the 
most  important  being  the  Marne-Rhin 
and  the  Rhone-Rhin. 

RAILWAYS.  Seven  trunk-railways 
serve  to  convey  the  traffic  among  the 
principal  towns  of  France.  Of  these, 
six  terminate  in  Paris,  the  centre 
towards  which  all  the  forces  of  the 
country  converge,  and  where  they  are 
absorbed  more  and  more  to  the  detri- 
ment of  the  ancient  provincial  centres, 
such  as  Lyons,  Toulouse,  Bordeaux, 
Lille  &c.  which  formerly  possessed  a 
more  autonomous  character  than  at 
the  present  day.

As  a  watijring' place,  jt  owes  ils 
great    and    well- merited    celehrity    to 

its  exceptionully  fine  climate  and 
the  charm  of  lis  superb  sikiation- 
Built  upon  a  beautiful  bay,  it  pos- 
sesses a  small  harbour  s:iut  iii  by 
a  jetty,  at  ihe  head  of  whicti  rises 
a  hghthous':. 

To  the  W.  of  the  harbour,  a  parade^ 
4  km.  in  length,  stretches  away  to 
the  Rochers  Rouges,  famous  for  their 
many  grottoes.  The  first  half  of 
this  road  bears  the  name  of  Prome- 
nade de  Caravan,  —  the  prolon- 
gationj  that  of  Promenade  Samt 
Louis.  Prom  the  former,  one  enjoys 
a  splendid  view  of  the  sea  and  its 
coast,  the  eye  tracing  the  unbroken 
line  of  the  shore  from  Bordighera 
in  tire  one  direction  to  Tele-de-Chien 
in   the  (jther. 

The  district  to  the  E.  of  the  har- 
bour is  bordered  by  a  promenade 
of  similar  extent  to  the  above:  it  is 
called  the  Promenade  da  AUdi  and, 
together  with  iheJarJin  Public,  dose 
to  it  J  forms  tl-je  lavouritG  resort  of 
visitors  in  viilegiatura. 

This  promenade  faces  SAV.:  behind 
it,  on  the  alluvial  between  the  harbour 
and  the   Tot  rent  de  Borigo,  is  built 


the  main  part  of  the  town,  backed 
by  the  steep  hills,  which,  running  al- 
most to  the  water's  edge  E.  and  W., 
have  caused  the  town,  as  it  expandodj 
to  creep  along  the  shore. 

The  principal  artery  of  the  inner 
town  ia  *V Avenue  Felix  Faure', 
prolonged  to  the  left  by  'I'AvenuM 
Carnoi',  to  the  right  by  'La  Ru€ 
SL  Michel\  the  former  debouctiing 
into  the  Promenade  du  Midi,  the 
,  latter  leading  to  the  harbour.  On-to 
the  three  roads  abut  most  of  the 
cross-streets  of  the  place. 

Behind  Mentone,  the  country  is 
dissected  by  valleys  of  ravishing 
beauty,  watered  by  numerous  tnomi- 
tain  streams  and  clad  with  luxuriant 
vegetation.  Here,  the  orange  and 
the  lemon  grow  in  great  abundance, 
and  form  the  principal  wealth  of 
the  district :  the  value  of  the 
fruit  exported  annually  is  now 
one  million  francs.  The  mildness  of 
the  climate  permits  the  cuUivation 
of  many  tropical  flowers,  whose 
glorious  colours  constitute  not  the 
least  all  Taction  of  the  town  and  help 
to  render  a  sojourn  in  Mentone  one 
of  the  most  agreeable  on  the  whole 
of  the  Mediterranean  littoral 

In  this  charmmg  country  may  be 
made  many  delightful  excursions*

times:  Antoninus  states  that  it  connected 
Alpe  Summa,  Cemelinm  &c.  with 
Rome:  the  road,  which  was  re-built  by 
Napoleon  on  strategic  grounds,  forms

valley.  Forty  years  ago,  it  was  an 
out-of-the-way  corner  unknown  to 
the  world  at  large:  it  was  then  a  spot 
which,  though  a  pearl  of  nature, 
contained  merely  a  few  cottages, 
—  the  dwellings  of  poor  peasants 
and  fisher-folk.  But  a  few  short 
years  have  sufficed  to  change  its 
appearance:  as  by  magic,  beautiful 
villas,  sumptuous  hotels  and  magni- 
ficent mansions ,  surrounded  by 
fine  terraces,  have  sprung  up; 
and  the  place  is  now  quite  a  la 
mode,  and  the  cendezvous  of  fashion- 
able people  from  all  parts  ol  the 
globe. 

On  a  promontory  to  the  east  of 
the  town  rises  the  Casino,  a  superb 
edifice,  built  from  plans  by  Charles 
Gamier,  the  celebrated  architect  who 
designed  the  Grand  Opera  at  Paris: 


the  Atrium,  decorated  in  splendid 
style,  contains  two  beautiful  land- 
scape paintings  by  Jundt:  the 
Theatre,  constructed  on  the  model 
of  the  Opera,  is  embellished  with 
paintings  by  Feyen-Perin,  Boulanger, 
Six  and  Clairin,  which  represent, 
respectively,  Poetry,  Music,  Song, 
and  Dance:  the  exterior  is  decorated 
with  a  statue  of  *Music'  by  Sarah 
Bernhardt  and  one  of  'Dancing'  by 
Gustave  Dore.  The  magnificent  gam- 
ing-rooms,  reading  rooms  &  various 
saloons  —  augmented  by  new  elegant 
apartments,  fine  restaurant  &c,  — 
are  much  frequented  by  strangers 
visiting  the  town.  On  the  great 
terrace  behind  the  building  stands 
a  monument  to  Berlioz.  One^  of 
the  great  attractions  of  the  Casino 
is     its     music:     concerts    are    given

every  day,  those  on  Thursdays  being 
classical. 

Pigeon-shooting  is  also  a  favour- 
ite pastime,  the  Tir  aux  pigeons 
being  on  the  terrace  near  the  Casino : 
here  the  finest  shots  of  the  world 
meet  to  compete  for  various  prizes, 
the  Grand  Prix  of  20,000  frs.  being 
shot  for  in  January. 

But,  of  course,  the  celebrity  of 
Monte  Carlo  depends  principally  upon 
the  gaming  -  saloons.  Entering  the 
Casino  beneath  a  peristyle,  one 
or  ses  a  large  vestibule  to  the 
ce  ral  hall.  The  gaming  rooms, 
w  1  their  crowds  of  visitors,  are 
sil  ated  on  the  left-hand:  while  to 
th  right  is  the  ^salle  des  fetes', 
a  lagnificent  apartment  *  capable  of 
se    'ng  five  hundred  spectators. 

le  two    games    played    are  rou- 
la       and  irente  et  qttarante.    In  the 


former,  the  stakes  vary  from  5  frs. 
to  6,000  frs.:  in  irente  et  quaraute, 
only  gold  is  used;  and  the  highest 
sum  played  for  is  12,000  frs. 

Finally,  interesting  exhibitions  take 
place  periodically  in  the  Palais  des 
Beaux  Arts;  while  the  promenades 
serve  to  complete  the  agreeable  variety 
of  a  stay  in  this  famous  town. 

The  country  surrounding  Monte 
Carlo  is  of  the  most  lovely  character, 
one  of  the  favourite  excursions  being 
by  the  mountain  railway  (20  min.) 
to  LA  TURBIB  (Riviera  Palace), 
an  old  village  built  upon .  a  fine 
height  at  an  altitude  of  1,600  feet 
It  contains  the  relics  of  the  Tropsea 
Augusti  erected  by  the  Romans  in 
commemoration  of  the  subjection  oi 
the  Ligurians.  But  the  great  at- 
traction of  the  place  is  the  splendid 
prospect    it   affords    of  the  sea^oast

The  city  of  Monaco,  is  the  capital  of 
the  tiny  independent  principality  of  the 
same  name,  which,  governed  by  the 
Princes  of  the  Houae  of  Grimaldi,  is 
situated  to  the  south  of  the  Maritime 
Alps.  The  reigning  prince  is  Albert  I., 
who,  enjoying  the  fall  prerogatives  of  a 
sovereign  over  his  little  nation,  exercise! 
his  powers  in  a  patriarchal  way.  Though 
the  control  of  the  post  and  customs  htm. 
been  ceded  to  France,  the  principality 
issues  its  own  postage  stamps  and  pos- 
sesses its  own  mint.  The  revenue  is 
derived  solely  from  the  Casino,  tha 
property  of  the  prince.  The  population 
IS  thus  fi:ee  of  aJl  financial  burden  and 
at  liberty  to  enjoy  to  the  full  the  not 
inconsiderable  incomes  which  they  draw 
from  the  wealthy  visitors  flocking  in 
vast  numbera  to  the  little  state. 

The  city  of  Monaco  consists  of 
two  distinct  parts:  the  one,  Monaco 
Proper,  lies  on  a  bold  headland  at 
the  footof  a  hill  called  Tete  de  Chien,

and  has  a  population  of  about  3,5(X): 
the  other,  built  at  the  base  oif  the 
promontory,  is  the  new  town,  which, 
under  the  name  of  "La  Condamine'*, 
contains  some  6,500  inhabitants,  and, 
being  of  recent  construction,  with 
charming  outlook,  is  the  watering-place 
and  winter -resort  whither  strangers 
come  in  search  of  health. 

From  the  railway  station,  one  passes 
La  Place  d'Armes  and  ascends  the  hill 
to  the  old  town.  Here  rises  the  Princess 
Palace,  a  chateau  in  Renaissance  style 
with  crenelated  towers  and  having  the 
character  of  a  large  mediaeval  castle. 
It  contains  some  magnificent  apart- 
ments, sumptuously  decorated  and 
luxuriously  furnished.  They  are  em- 
bellished with  beautiful  frescoes,  a 
series  of  royal  portraits  and  valuable 
paintings  by  Domenichino,  Carracci 
and  other  masters.  Among  its  sights 
are  the  Gallerie  d'Hercule,  the  large 
courtyard,  and  the  hanging  gardens, 
whence  the  eye  traverses  the  ra- 
vishing panorama  of  the  environs. 

*The  Cathedral  is  a  modern  struc- 
ture in  Romano- Byzantine  style.  It 
possesses  an  imposing  appearance, 
and  the  interior,  decorated  in  a 
tasteful  manner,  contains  a  gilded 
altar  of  the  16th  cent. 

Not  far  from  this  edifice  will  be 
found  a  small  museum  adjoining  the 
Promenade  St.  Martin.  The  latter,  laid- 
out  as  grounds  upon  the  site  of  the 
ancient  ramparts,  is  the  favourite 
rendezvous  of  guests,  who  are  at- 
tracted hither  by  the  splendid  view  it 
commands  of  the  sea  and  coast. 

Ophthalmic  Inatltnte  <PrlneeaieiAlle6'

hygienic  art.  The  director  is  the  emi-

CAR  D>AIl4.  —  Bdea  Hotel,  one  of 
the  finest  of  the  littoral,  situated  in 


50  acres  of  park-land,  200  ft  above 
the  sea  and  containing  200  perfectly 
constructed  and  appointed  rooms  of 
exceptional  loftiness,  —  perfect  sani- 
tation, electric  light  and  every  other 
comfort,  —  resident  physician,  — 
easy  communication  with  Monte  Carlo 
and  other  towns  of  the  Riviera,  — 
the  hotel  is  patronised  by  the  elite 
of  American  society. 

This  headland  is  considered  the  most 
beautiful  spot  in  the  whole  district, 
and  is  a  remarkably  healthy  place,  shut 
in  behind  by  an  unbroken  mountain 
ridge  1,640  feet  in  height:  the  hotel, 
thus  screened  from  all  cold  winds, 
is  enveloped  in  the  direct  and  reflected 
rays  of  the  sun  as  in  a  bath. 

Cap  d*Ail  is  consequently  the 
warmest  spot  in  the  Riviera;  although 
the  sea-breezes  and  the  vicinity  of 
pine- woods  and  groves  of  olive  and, 
orange  render  the  climate  exhilarating 
and  agreeable.  It  is  therefore  much 
recommended  by  the  faculty;  and 
with  its  delightful  situation,  beautiful 
flowers  and  ever -green  vegetation 
giving  it  an  appearance  of  perpetual 
spring,  it  is  one  of  the  most  favoured 
resorts  on  the  Mediterranean  littoral.

BEAULIEU,  like  its  sisters  of  the 
Mediterranean  shore,  is  a  little  resort 
frequented  mostly  by  winter  visitors.  It 
is  built  upon  the  borders  of  a  wide  bay 
and  protected,  by  its  excellent  position, 
from  the  'nlstral'  and  north  winds. 

The  vegetation  of  the  place  is  most 
luxuriant;  and  the  lemon,  the  orange, 
the  olive  and  the  fig  flourish  in  great 
abundance. 

The  Bay  of  Beaulieu  is  shut  in  to  the 
S.  by  the  charming  Jutland  of  St.  Jean, 
the  head  of  which  is  crowned  by  the 
ruins  of  an  ancient  church,  called  St

numbers  the  whole  year,  but  especially 
during  the  winter  season,  beginning 
after  the  Races  in  January  and  lasting 
until  the  Regatta  in  April.  The  Carni- 
val of  Nice  has  become  almost  a  by- 
word for  mirth  and  gaiety. 

A  little  river,  debouching  into  the 
Bate  des  Anges  and  named  *MePaiilon'' 
divides  the  town  into  two  unequal 
parts.  The  less  important,  on  the  left 
bank,  is  the  old  town  with  its  narrow 
and  tortuous  streets, where  the  working- 
classes  live,  their  language  being  a 
harmonious  admixture  of  Italian  and 
Provenfal.  On  the  right  bank  rises 
the  strangers'  quarter  which,  wi}h 
its  casina  beautiful  promenades,  and 
KTonderfui  views,  forms  the  new  town, 
^  th«  Nice  whose  reputation  is  spread 
>ver  the  whole  of  Europe. 

The  most  interesting  edifice  in  the 

**  town  is  the  ' 


Cathedra le  St.  Rdparat,  an  old 
structure  whose  fa9ade  is  adorned  with 
the  statue  of  St.  Bassus,  the  first 
bishop  of  Nice,  martyred  here  in  253. 
A  beautiful  eucharistical  painting  of 
the  French  school  in  the  inside. 

Dominating  the  old  town  is  a  wooded 
height,  called  Colltne  du  Chateau:  its 
summit,  330  feet  high,  is  reached  by  a 
long  flight  of  steps.  Halfway  up  stands 
'laTour Bellanda\  a  tower  embracing 
a  beautiful  panorama  of  the  Basses 
Alpes.  The  hill  obtains  its  appellation 
from  the  castle  wilh  which  it  was  once 
crowned,  but  which  was  demolished, 
in   1706,  by  the  Duke  of  Berwick. 

The  favourite  rendezvous  of  stran- 
gers is  *la  Terrasse*,  one  of  whose 
greatest  charms  is  the  view  of  the 
evergreen  environs  of  Nice. 

The  'Casino  Municipal',  of  beau- 
tiful design,  contains  a  theatre,  gaming-

forms  a  most  picturesque  sight. 

Between  the  Place  dn  Casino  and  the 
shore  of  the  Mediterranean  Sea,  there  is  a 
very  fine  park,  oalled  Le  Jsrdin  Pablie, 
planted  with  palm-trees,  aloes  &  myrtles. 
Here  is  an  obelisk,  embellished  with  alle- 
gorical  fig^nres,raisiBd  to  commemorate  the 
annexation  of  Nice  to  France  &  bearing 
the  name  of  MoButemt  da  Centenaire*'. 

The  finest  promenade  of  Nice  is  the 
^Promentde  des  AnfUls'.  so  called  on 
aoooant  of  the  fands  for  its  construction 
having  been  subscribed  by  the  English,  in 
1822,  to  provide  work  for  the  unemployed. 
It  is  delightfully  shady  and  is  lined  with 
beautiful  villas  and  sumptuous  hotels:  it 
extends  as  far  as  Califbrnie,  a  point  of 
view  8  miles  distant.  The  prolongAtionnf 
this  promenade,  called  le  Roalevard  dn 
Midi,  is  also  much  frequented. 

The  Masie  Manlelpal  is  worth  visiting 
for  its  paintings  &  soolptures,  especially 
the  works  of  modem  French  artists.

is  a  delighiful  apot  easily  reached  by  the 
carriage-road  from  Quart ier  Carabacel 
in  Nice.  The  townlet  forms  a  suburb 
€il  the  great  watering-place  of  Nice, 
and  consists  of  handsome  villas  and 
iDanslons  standing  in  grounds  filled 
with  the  dark  foliage  of  orange-trees, 
amid  which  gleams  the  golden  fruit; 
while,  intermingled  with  them,  stand 
lemon  trees  of  enormous  growth.  Its 
beauty  and  tranquility  attract  many 
patients  and  others  who  cannot  bear, 
or  do  not  like,  the  bustling  Ufe  of  Nice. 

Of  the  ancient  Roman  town  but  a  few 
ruins  remain:  parts  of  the  Great  Amphi- 
theatre, and  of  the  quadrangular  Temple 
of  Apollo,  with  a  Tew  vestiges  of  baths 
and  the  like  are  all  that  is  now  to  be 
recognised.  On  the  foundations  of  the 
Temple  of  Diana,  there  now  stands  a 
Capuchin    Monastery    built    in    1540.

CANNES  consists  of  some  thousands 
of  elegant  villas  and  mansions,  and  fine 
hotels  with  d^pendanoes  and  necessary 
annexes,  situated  on  the  finely  curved 
Gk>lfe  de  la  Napoule  and  completely 
sheltered  by  the  spurs  of  the  Esterel 
Range  and  the  Maritime  Alps.  It  is  a 
favourite  resort  of  the  most  aristocratio 
circles,  possessing  a  most  delightful 
climate  and  owing  its  great  prosperity 
in  largo  measure  to  the  oelebrated 
statesman,  Lord  Brougham,  who  oreoted 
a  large  villa  here,  and  thus  drew  the 
attenuon  of  ilite  French  and  English 


society  to  the  place.  Since  then,  the 
town  has  grown  rapidly,  and,  with  its 
splendid  vulas,  each  surrounded  with 
charming  gardens,  where  palm-trees 
and  beautiful  flowers  flourish  in  great 
quantity,  has  become  one  of  the  most 
freauented  and  elegant  spots  on  the 
Meaiterranoan  littoraL 

The  centre  of  animation  in  Cannes 
is  the  Rue  d'Aniibes,  running  parallel 
with  the  Boulevard  de  la  Plage* 
Here  are  the  Casino  des  Fleurs  and 
the  Jardin  des  Hespirides;  and  it  is 
in  this  district  that  the  most  luxurious 
dwellings  and  the  most  beautiful 
gardens  will  be  found. 

The  Boulevard  de  la  Croisette  skirts 
the  roadstead  of  Cannes  and  rivals 
Le  Boulevard  de  la  Plage  in  the 
luxuriousness  of  its  residences  and 
embellishments.  It  is  two  miles  in 
length,  and  stretches  from  the  harbour 
to  Cape  Croisette,  the  latter  facing 
lie  Marguerite.    To  the  W.  of  the

light-house  begins  the  Boulevard  du 
Midi,  extending  but  a  short  distance 
along  the  shore,  the  beach  beyond 
it  being  occupied  by  the  railway. 
A  short  street  to  the  right  joins  the 
end  of  this  promenade  with  the  Route 
de  Frejus,  a  fine  road  traversing  the 
English  quarter  and  bordered  by 
sumptuous  villas  and  picturesque 
grounds. 

The  old  town,   built  around  Mont 

Chevalier,  possesses  a  church   and  a 

tower   named    Tour    du    Chevalier, 

Here,    in  the  ancient  quarter,    called 

«  Suquei,  will  be  found  the  remains 

f    a   chateau    lying    upon   the   site 

i  Castrum  Massilinum,    From  the 

immit  of  the  hill,  a  splendid  pano- 

ma  unfolds  itself  to  the  view,   the 

^e  traversing  the  coast,  the  encircl- 

g   valleys    and    the   sea.      At    the 

'Ot  of  the  old  town  lies  the  small 


but  pretty  harbour,  whence  steam- 
boats start  for  the  lie  de  Lirins, 
The  most  important  of  these  islands 
is  St.  Marguerite,  on  which  stand  the 
fortress  of  the  'Masque  de  Fer*  and 
the  prison  where  Marechal  Bazaine 
was  incarcerated  and  whence  he  made 
his  famous  escape. 

One  of  the  principal  promenades  of 
Cannes  is  formed  by  the  Allies  de  la 
Liberie,  where  a  marble  statue  of  Lord 
Brougham  has  been  erected,  he  having 
died  in  the  town  in  1868.  In  the 
vicinity  rises  the  Hotel  de  Ville,  a 
handsome  edifice  built  in  1876  and 
containing  the  Municipal  Library  and  a 
SMusee  d'antiquites  et  d 'ethnographic*. 
Close  by  is  the  flower-market. 

A  new  Casino  Municipal  was 
opened  in  1907.

year  1875.  Since  then,  like  so  many 
other  places  on  the  Mediterranean  litto- 
ral, it  has  become  a  favourite  winter- 
resort,  to  which  the  elite  of  Parisian 
society  repair  in  great  numbers. 

As  in  other  places,  the  new  town 
constitutes  the  strangers'  or  winter 
quarter,  and  consists  of  numerous  villas 
with  tine  promenades  stretching  along 
the  sea -shore  for  a  distance  of  2^9 
miles.  St.  Raphael  owes  its  reputation 
to  its  charming  situation  and  to  the 
beautiful    excursions    in    the  vicinity. 

The  finest  of  these  are  to  Talescore 
(Hot.  des  Anglais)  and  Boulourls 
(Grand  Hotel),  ^illa  quartets  forming, 
indeed,  almost  a  part  of  the  town 
itself;  to  St.  Tropez,  St.  Maxinie  and 
the  pioturesque  and  densely  •  wooded 
Esteiel  Mts.     ' 

These  last  form  a  fine  group,  con- 
sisting of  several  voloanio  peaks.  The 
hifi^hest  is  Monte  Vinaigre  (1,825  feet), 
situated  close  to  Auberge  de  TEsterel 
and  best  ascended  from  St.  Raphael, 
Agay  or  Napoule.

HYi^EtES  occupies  an  agreeable  situ- 
ation some  5  kilometres  from  the  Medi- 
terranean. It  lies  at  the  foot  of  a  hill 
and  is  sheltered  to  the  N.  E.  &  the  N.  W. 
by  the  Mont  des  Maures,  eiyoys  a  olimate 
characterised  by  extreme  mildness  that 
favours  the  cultivation  of  plants,  flowers 
and  fruits,  notably  violets  and  straw- 
berries, the  latter  being  sent  to  Paris 
to  the  value  of  500,000  frs.  annually. 

Outside  the  town,  standing  side  by  side, 
are  the  two  railway  stations,  namely, 
Paris- Lyon-Mediterran^e  and  Sud  de 
la  France;  they  are  connected  with 
Hy6res  by  a  beautiful  avenue  of  palme 
leading  up  to  the  centre  of  tiie  town. 
This  avenae  debouches  in  a  cross-road 
whose  western  half  bears  the  name  of 
Avenue  des  Ilea  d'Or  and  the  eastern 
half  that  of  Avenue  Alphonse  Denis. 

These  streets  belong  to  the  new  town 
or  strangers*  quarter.  Beyond,  on  the 
slope  of  the  hill,  stands  the  old  town. 

Near  the  middle  of  FAvenae  des  Ilee 
d'Or  is  the  Place  des  Palmiers. 

A  little  to  the  B.  rises  Chatean  Denis, 
containing  a  small  museum  and  the 
Public  Library,  open  daily.  Sundays 
and  Thursdays  excepted.  Behind  the 
ChAteau  is  the  Public  Oarden,  known 
under  the  name  of  Jardin  Denis. 

Parallel  with  the  Bue  Alphonse  Denis 
runs  the  Arenne  des  Palmiers,  whose 
date-palms  —  a  sign  ot  the  clement 
temperature  which  reigns  in  Hydros  — 
form  a  pleasant  sight. 

The  remaining  promenades  are  1' Ave- 
nue de  la  Pierre  Glissante,  the  Zoolo- 
gieal  Garden,  modelled  on  that  at  Paris, 
and,  finally,  la  Plaee  de  la  B^pnbliqne, 
embellished  with  the  bronae  statue  of 
Hassillon,  the  famous  ecclesiastical 
orator.  The  last  is  bounded,  on  one 
side,  by  the  Cbareh  of  St.  Lonis,  and, 
on  the  other,  by  the  Hdtel  de  TUle  (Town 
Hall),  formerly  a  Church  of  the  Templars. 
In  the  vicinity  is  the  beautiful  CJinreli 
of  St.  Paul.

d&  La  Liberty  where  the  Monitmeni  de

Louis  possesses  a  Saini  Sebastian 
ascribed  to  Rabens.  The  Church  of 
Saint' Francois  de  Fauie^  in  Greek 
style,  is  also  worth  seeing.  The 
Theatre  is  a  beautiful  building  with  a

a  visit:  they  are  the  Arsenal  Maritime, 
containing  the  ancient  Bagno,  the 
Arsenal  de  Casti^neau  and  the

MARSEILLES,  founded  about  the 
year  6C0  B.  C.  by  Greek  settlers  and 
named  by  them  Massilia,  was  con- 
quered by  Caesar  in  49  B.  C,  but 
retained  much  of  its  Greek  character. 
Overrun  at  the  great  upheaval  of  the 
5  th  and  6th  century,  it  came  first 
under  the  dominion  of  the  Visigoths 
and  then  that  of  the  Franks.  The 
IQth  cent,  saw'  it  ruled  by  the  Vis- 
counts of  Marseilles:  during  the 
Idth  cent.,  it  was,  for  a  short  time, 
an  independent  state,  soon  succumb- 
ing, however,  to  the  Count  of  Anfou. 
Later  incorporated  in  France,  it  sent 
hordes  of  SanS'Culoiles  to  Paris  in 
1792,  who  brought  with  them  Rouget 
de  I'lsle's  celebrated  war-song  *Allons 
enfants  de  la  patrie':  this  they  sang 
at  the  attack  on  the  Tuileries,  and, 
the  troop  being  known  ts  the  'Bth- 
taillon  des  Marsetllais',  their  song 
acquired  the  name  of  'Ls  Marseillaise'. 

Throughout  all  these  changes,  it 
retained  its  commercial  character, 
thus  resembling  Genoa,  the  greatest 
of  its  rivals  in  the  Mediterranean. 
In  order  to  compete  with*  this  sea- 
port and  with  Trieste,  the  harbour 
has,  within  recent  years,  been  great- 


ly  enlarged,  and  now  consists  of 
five  basins ;  while  the  construction 
of  a  canal  is  contemplated  which 
will  render  Marseilles  the  outlet  for 
the  vast  industrial  districts  of  the 
Rhone.  But,  even  as  it  is,  the  traffic, 
since  the  opening  of  the  Suez  Canal 
and  the  annexation  of  Algiers ,  has 
assumed  enormous  proportions,  above 
7,000,(XX)  tons  being  shipped  and 
cleared  annually. 

The  principal  harbour  is  the  Vieux 
Port,  from  the  head  of  which  the 
finest  street  in  Marseilles  runs,  in  a 
north-easterly  direction,  through  the 
centre  of  the  city.  This  consists  of 
Rue  Canncbihre,  Rue  de  Noailles, 
Allee  de  Meilhan,  Boulevard  de  la 


Madeleine  and  Ckemin  des  Chart teux. 
Like  all  the  main  streets  and  boule- 
vards of  Marseilles,  it  contains  numer* 
ous  cafes  of  a  palatial  character  the 
finest  being  in  the  first  two  sections 
ol  the  street.  In  Rue  Connebiere  will 
also  be  found  the  Bourse,  a  magni- 
ficent structure  which  cost  £  360,000. 
Its  fafade,  embellished  with  a  Corin- 
thian porch  and  a  bas  -  relief  by 
Toussaint,  contains  large  statues 
representing  respectively  Marseilles 
and  France.  On  either  side  will 
be  observed  allegorical  represen- 
tations in  alto-relievo,  of  Industry,  Com- 
merce  and  Navigation:  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  meets  here  in  a  fine

rises  SL  Vincent  de  Paul,  a  handsome 
new  church  in  Gothic  style.  Hence, 
we  may  pass  down  the  Boulevard

by  the  Post  Office  to  Champs  du

French    works,    but    including    also

Italian  schools.  Returning  to  the  Vieux 
Port,  we  visit  the  Hotel  de  Ville 
(Town  Hall)  near  Quai  du  Port,  a 
17th  cent,  structure  of  considerable 
interest.  It  stands  in  the  old  town,

building  is  a  fine  structure  that  replaces 
the  mediaeval  sanctuary  and  is  still  the

city  there  are  some  fine  promenades, 
the  chief  of  which  is  Prado  which 
leads  down  to  Rond  Point,  near  the 
mouth  of  Ruisseau  de  VHuveaune, 
crossing  which^  we  reach  the  Champ

forming  a  part  of  France.  It  is  an 
exceedingly  mountainous  place,  the 
only  level  tract  ot  any  extent  being 
the  alluvial  plain  oa  the  £.  coast. 
The  country  is  covered  with  vast

chestnuts,  oak,  larch  and  pine.  These 
are  found  at  different  elevations,  and

LYONS  is  the  third  town  of  France, 
and  the  most  important  silk  centre 
in  the  world.  It  is  said  to  have  been 
founded  by  the  Greeks  more  than  five 
centuries  before  the  Christian  era,  and 
is  admirably  situated  at  the  confluence 
of  the  Saone  and  the  RhSne, 

Among  the  principal  curiosities  of 
Lyons  are  the  quays,  of  almost  unique 
proportions. 

The  city  should  be  seen  from  the 
Clocher  de  Pourvihre,  an  ancient 
Roman  Forum  overlooking  the  oity 
and  commanding  a  most  beautiful 
panorama.  Here,  too,  are  the  pil- 
grimage Chapelle  de  Notre  Dame  de 
Pourvihres,  the  Cathidrale,  the 
Evcchi  and   the  Palais  de  Justice, 

A  magnificent,  but  still  unfinished, 
church  stands  at  tbe  side  of  the 
Chapelle,  Several  millions  have 
already  been  spent  on  the  edifice; 
and  its  completion  will  absorb  several 
millions  more.  Consequently  the  funds 
have  not  hitherto  sufficed  for  the 
decoration  of  the  whole  interior.  But 
the  ceiling  and  one  of  the  side  walls 
are  entirely  covered  with  mosaic 
work;  and  the  church  is  so  far  complete 
as  to  admit  of  the  celebration  of  mass. 
One  of  its  towers  is  used  as  an 
observatory;  from  the  other,  an 
admirable  view  is  obtained  (25  cts.). 
Finally,  from  a  quadrangular  metallic 
tower  (a  reduced  copy  of  the  Eiffel 
tower,  243  ft.  high),  one  obtains  a 
view  of  the  Alps  as  far  as  Mont  Blanc, 

The  four  principal  squares  are: — 

1.  Place  Car  not,  adorned  with  fine 
plantations  and  a  monumental  Statue 
de  la  Liberti, 

2.  Place  Bellecour,  with  an

The  genteel  Savoyard  city  of  Aix- 
les- Bains )  situated  14  kilometres 
from  Chambery,  and  in  the  midst 
of  a  fertile  valley,  is  one  of  the  most 
celebrated  thermal  stations  in  the 
French  Republic. 

It  is  an  exceedingly  ancient  place^ 
tracing  its  origin  back  to  the  days 
of  the  Romans,  who,  with  their 
accustomed  love  of  bathing,  early 
perceived  the  value  of  the  thermal 
springs,  and  laid  the  foundation  of 
the  spa.  Styled  by  them,  first 
Aquca  Allobrogium  and  afterwards 
Aqux  Gratiance,  it  soon  became 
the  rendezvous  of  persons  of  note, 
the  numerous  inscriptions  found  in 
the  neighbourhood  making  repeated 
references  to  the  Roman  aristocracy^ 


741 


«nd  such  names  as  Titia,  Pompeia  ftc. 
constantly  recurring. 

The  barbarous  hordes  which  over- 
ran the  district  after  the  fall  of  the 
Empire,  naturally  neglected  towns  like 
Aix;  and  the  place  fell  into  oblivion 
for  several  centuries. 

In  the  middle-ages,  the  town  be- 
came the  subject  of  sharp  contention 
between  the  Comte  de  Genevois  and 
the  House  of  Savoy.  But  in  1295, 
it  passed  definitely  into  the  hands  of 
the  latter,  who  established  a  barony 
here,  which  became,  later,  a  mar- 
quisate.  The  seventeenth  century 
■aw  the  rise  of  the  place  as  a  spa. 
From  that  time  onwards  its  history, 
not  only  under  the  first  Napoleonic 
Empire  but  later  as  an  appendage  of 
the  Kingdom  of  Sardinia  and  finally 
as  a  part  of  modern  France,  has  been 
one  of  unbroken  prosperity. 


Treatment:  Aiz-les-Bains  was  the 
first  health-resort  to  adopt  the  com- 
bined use  of  baths  and  massage,  the 
latter  having  been  introduced  fro«i  the 
East  by  the  physicians  who  accom- 
panied Napoleon  on  his  Egyptian  ex- 
pedition in  1799. 

These,  together  with  the  Berthollet 
Vapour  Baths  and  the  Bouillon  System 
of  Sweating,  form  the  principal  methods 
of  treatment  in  use  at  Aix;  but,  supple- 
mentary to  these,  there  are  various 
other  modes  of  bathing  &c-  The 
treatment  at  the  spa  is  «|5ssentially 
external;  the  waters  taken  ^internally 
forming,  nevertheless,  a  useful  adjunct 
They  are  obtained  from  two  thermal 
springs  which  yield  6  million  litres 
daily,  have  a  temperature  of  47^,  and 
are  charged  with  sulphur  and  alum. 
Moreover,  they  contain  a  quantity  of 
baregine  such  as  is  found  in  the  springs

rendering  them  unctuous  in  character, 
adapts  them  admirably  for  the  pur- 
poses of  massage.  It  is  to  these 
qualities  that  the  spa  owes  is  celebrity 
as  a  resort  for  persons  suffering  from 
ckronic  rheumatism  and  gout,  the 
number  of  English  and  Americans 
vIsHing  the  place  annually  being  some 
thousands. 

The  waters  are,  however,  also  em- 
ployed for  various  complaints  of  the 
joints,  the  nerves  and  the  skin. 

The  baths  are  administered  at  a 
thermal  establishment  called  "Le  Grand 
Cercle".  Founded  in  1824  under  the 
patronage  of  the  king  of  Sardinia  and 
privileged  later  by  the  protection  of 
the  French  Government,  this  institution 
is  one  of  the  most  splendid  and 
luxurious  of  its  kind.

Before  the  building  stands  the  famous 
Arch  of  CampaHUS,  erected  probably 
at  the  close  of  the  3rd  cent,  by  the 
Roman  after  whom  it  is  named.  Near 
it  rises  the  Hotel  de  Ville,  formerly 
a  chateau  of  the  Marquesses  of  Aix. 
It  possesses  a  handsome  stair-case, 
and  is  the  depository  of  a  small 
Museum  consisting  mostly  of  relics

HISTOklCAL.  The  first  historical 
mention  of  Paris  occurs  in  the  year 
S2  B.  a  Till  the  h^  cent,  the 
ancient  Lutece  was  almost  entirely 
•ontained  within  the  Is»le  of  the 
Ci^.  At  that  time,  it  became  the 
seat  %f  a  bishopric  and  was  called 
Paris.     In    506,    the    city    was    the 


residence   of   Clovis.     In    520,    SU 
Genevieve,  the  benefactress  and  after- 
wards  the  patroness    of   Paris,   died 
here.    In  987,    Hughes  Capet  made 
the  town  the  capital  of  his  kingdom. 
From  the  days  of  Lewis  VI.,  suriuun- 
ed    the  Fat,    dates   the  second    wall 
of  Paris.    Under   Philip  Augustus, 
the    third    wall    was    added    ancf    ~ 
great  number  of  churches,  hospit 
colleges,  markets  &c.  built,  tha  n 
noteworthy    being    Notre    Dtfme. 
1185,  the  paving  of  the  streets  ^ 
begun.      The    Louvre    was    buil< 
1200:    and    the    schools    of   P 
being  united,  formed  the  Univeri 
Lewis  X.    built   the  Sainte-Chmpieii 
one    of    the    most     perfect     arc 


7M 


tectural  productions,  of  the  middle- 
ages.  From  this  time,  the  growth  of 
Paris  has  continued  without  cessation. 
In  1400,  the  population  had  already 
reached  275,000;  and,  in  the  same  year, 
Etienne  Marcel  finished  the  fourth  wall. 

Under  Francis,  the  Town  Hall  was 
erected  and  the  Louvre  remodelled 
Renaissance  art  greatly  modified  the 
aspect  of  the  old  city.  Under  Charles  X., 
the  Juileries  and  the  Arsenal  were 
constructed:  and  the  Louvre  became 
the  residence  of  the  kings.  In  1578, 
Henry  III.  laid  the  first  stone  af  the 
PonUNcuf. 

The  greatest  improvements,  how- 
ever, took  place  in  the  reign  of 
Lewis  XIIL,  ^K  hen  the  Royal  Printing 
Office,  the  Botanical  Gardens  and 
the  French  Academy  were  formed. 
In  1616  was  planned  the  Conrs-la- 


Peine,  afterwards  called  the  Champs- 
Ely  sees.  In  1625  was  built  the  fifth 
wall,  forming  thp  present  line  of  the 
great  Boulevards  from  the  Madeleine 
to  the  Basiille.  Under  Lewis  XIV., 
the  streets  were  lighted  at  night  by 
lanterns  but  only  when  the  moon 
was  not  shining* 

At  this  time,  there  where  25,000 
houses  and  500,000  inhabitants.  Paris 
saw  rising,  as  by  enchantment,  the 
Invalides^  the  Salpetriere,  the  Colon- 
nade of  the  Louvrcr  the  Panthion» 
the  Military  School,  the  Mini  Sec, 
Finally,  under  Lewis  XIV.,  the  sixth 
fortification,  aimed  against  smuggling, 
was  commenced.  Transformation  and 
embellishment  where  disturbed  only  by 
the  Revolution,  from  which  time  en- 
wards  history  becomes  merged  in 
contemporary  events.

RE-OPENED  MAY  1907 


At  the  present  day,  Paris,  with 
its  3,000,000  inhabitants,  including 
200,000  foreigners,  is  one  of  the 
most  interesting  asd  certainly  the 
superbest  city  in  the  world. 

CURIOSITIES  OF  THE  CITY, 
Paris  may  be  divided  into  15  sections, 
each  containing  what  a  stranger  can 
see  in  a  day  without  over -fatiguing 
hinself.  Every  section  includes  se- 
veral contiguous  subdivisions. 

1.  The  central  point  of  Paris  is  the 

Place  du  Palais-Royal  between  the 

Louvre  and  the  Palais-RoyaU    It  is 

cossed  by  Rue  Si.-Honori  and  Rue 

9  Rii)oU,  3  kilometres  long,    which 

ids  at  the  Place  de  la  Concorde  and 

Rae  de  Sevigne,  on  the  latter  of  which 

stantris   the  Musie  Carnavalet   with 

•fojeets  relating  to  the  bistory  of  the 

eity.     To   the   fight   of  the   Palais- 


Royal  is  the  Place  du  Carrousel, 
bordered  by  the  JarMn  d$s  Tnileriee, 
Between  the  Louvre  and  the  Carrousel 
there  stands,  on  the  Square  du  Car- 
rousel, a  statue  of  Lafayette  by  Blartlett. 
The  site  of  the  Palais  des  Tuileries 
has  been  converted  into  a  lawn  and 
adorned  with  three  statues. 

In  front  ^f  the  garden,  rises  the 
Arc  de  Triomphe  dU  Carrousel,  sur- 
mounted by  a  beautiful  bronze  group. 
To  the  west  and  opposite  the  Are 
de  Triomphe  is  the  Monument  to 
Gamheiia, 

Across  Rue  de  Rivoli,  whose  houses 
form  the  carious  and  welt-known 
"Arcades",  Ites  Place  Rivoli  with  the 
equestrian  statue  of  Jeanne  d*Ar-c, 
Skirting  the  paling  of  the  JarMn  des 
Tuileries  leftwards,  one  reaches  Place 
de  la  Concorde,  the  largest  and  meet 


7il 


b«autift]l  in  Paris,  and  memorable 
as  the  spot  where  Lewis  XVI.  was 
beheaded. 

^  In  the  centre  rises  the  Obilisque  de 
Lauqsor  a  monolith  76  ft.  high  betvsreen 
two  majestic  fountains  personifying, 
respectively,  maritime  and  fluvial 
navigation.  Around  the  Place  are 
siatues  representing  the  large  towns 
of  France.  The  place  is  bounded  on 
the  north  by  the  MinisUre  *dt  la 
Marine,  the  Nouveau  Ccrcle  and 
the  premises  of  the  Automobile  Club 
de  France,  beautiful  buildings  with 
Corinthian  colonnades.  At  the  west 
the  Champs -Elysies,  extending  to 
the  Arc  de  Triomphe  de  VBtoile.  In 
the  late  afternoon,  the  avenue  is  full 
of  carriages;    and    the   neighbouring 


avenues  invaded  by  pedestrians,  form 
a  picturesque  scene.  On  a  summer's 
evening,  the  sight  of  the  Champs- 
Elysees,  with  its  brilliantly  illuminated 
concerts,  is  quite  unique.  Here  are 
the  Concerts,  de  VHorloge,  des  Am- 
bassadeurs.  Alcazar -d^U  dbc.  To 
the  right,  the  Champs  •  Sly s6es  are

of  Avenue  Gabriel  commences  the 
Avenue  de  Af<iri^«^,]  which  leads  to 
Place  Beauvau  with  tihe  Ministry  of

and  especially  on  Boulevard  de  Clichy, 
are  numerous  'cabarets  artistiqucs', 
that,  having  nothing  artistic  but  the 
name,  are  merely  low-class  echoppes' 
(pubs).  At  the  top  of  the  hill  rises 
the  Church  of  the  SacrS'Coeur.  One 
ascends  to  it  by  a  flight  of  235  steps 
or  by  the  funicular.  This  building, 
of  fantastic  form,  has  justly  excited 
criticism:  it  certainly  does  not  seem 
worth  the  many  millions  lavished 
on  its  construction.  In  the  western 
districts  of  the  Butte-Montmartre  lies 
the  cemetery  containing  the  tombs 
of  Theophile  Gauticr,  Paul  Delaroche, 
Horace Vernet,  Alexandre  Dumas,  Ernest 
Renan,  Heinrich  Heine,  Baudin  &c. 

5.  To  theW.  of  Place  du  Palais-Royal, 
in  the  Rue  de  Rivoli,  rises  the  Palais 
du  Louvre,  Between  Rue  St.  Honore 
and  Rue  du  Rivoli  are  situated  the 
Magasins  du  Louvre. 

The  LOUYBE  was  formerly  a  fortress 
reoonstructed  in  1204  by  Philippe- Augaste. 
In  1541  Francois  I.  commenced  the 
present  palace,  which  was  corrpleted 
by  Napoleon  III.  In  front  of  the  co- 
lonnade there  are  gardens  adorned  with 
iiionnments  toMeissonier,  Boucber,Baffet 
»nd  y^lasqaez.  The  palace  itself  (open 
•  laUy,  Mondays  excepted),  is  now  the 
<lepo8itory  of  Art  Collections  doubtless 
unmatched  in  variety  and  extent.  It  is 
usual  to  enter  by  the  Galerle  Denon.  As- 
cending the  stairway,  we  observe  a  beau- 
tiful Greek  figure  of  Victory  and  proceed 
to  the  Apollo  Gallery  hung  with  notable 
Gobelins  and  containing  Charlemagne's 
Crown,  Napoleon's  State  Sword,  the 
Regent  Diamond  &c.  Next  comes  the 
Salon  Carr^  in  which  are  gathered 
master-pieces   of  Italian   and   Spanish

contains,  among  its  portraits  of  artials. 
Mme.  Lebrun's  celebrated  painting  of

Boulevard  Barbes  where  are  situated 
the  Grands  Magasins  Dufayel,  sur-

its  principal  entrance  from  Boulevard 
de  Uenilmontant,  It  is  the  largest 
and  likewise  the  most  interesting  in 
Paris.  In  its  aspect  there  is  nothing 
sad  or  mournful;  and,  from  the  hill 
on  which  it  lies,  a  fine  view  of  the 
city  is  obtained.  It  possesses  a  cre- 
matory; and,  among  its  tombs,  it

dral, built  between  1163  and  1235  and 
restored  in  1845,  is  one  of  the  finest 
edifices  in  Paris.  Its  handsome  facade 
and  porches,  its  towers  (220  ft.^  its 
treasury,  choir  and  16th  cent,  wood- 
carving  render  it  one  of  the  most

St.  Michel  Boulevard  St.  Michel 
stretches  as  far  as  Carre  four  de 
VObservatoire.  It  owes  its  animation 
to  the  numerous  students  who  frequent 
the  cafes  and  restaurants  of  this  most 
interesting  part  of  the  'quartier  latin'. 
Parallel  with  this  boulevard  is  Rue 
St.  Jacques,  one  of  the  longest  streets 
in  Paris:  here  are  the  Sorhonne 
(with  fine  pictures),  the  College  de 
France,  the  Lycie  Louis -le- Grand, 
the  Ecole  de  Droit,  the  Inslitut  de

monument  to  Comte)  we  reach  Place 
Midicis,  Eastwards  of  Place  Medicis, 
the  beautiful  Rue  Soufflot  abuts  on

YEESAILLES,  the  regidenee  of  the

the  principal  military  towns  of  France. 
It  ii  n^Tfienbly  aitaated  hetwoen  th& 
Foriit  de  JttarJ^,  to  the  Nh,  and  the 
Fergt  de  Sitoty,  to  the  S,  It  ia  ati 
Impoaing  aud  regularly  built  town; 
en<i.  thoagh  Irigid  and  moDDtonous^  its 
hiatoriral  reminiscenced  attract  a  g'reaE, 
many  vlaitorEJ, 

Versa illes  can  be  seen  in  one 
day.  The  largest  square  is  the 
Place  d'Armes^  a.  truly  magnificent 
sight  and  the  rendezvous  of  visitors. 


At  this  point  the  large  arteries  of 
the  town  converge,  especially  the 
three  enormous  avenues:  Averma 
de  Paris,  Avenue  des  Scmux  and 
Aventtf:  de  SaiHi-Cloiid.  The  Rne 
Hoche,  at  the  corner  of  the  square^ 
leads  to  Place  Hoc  he  (second  only 
to  Pidce  d'Armfs)  and  runs  on 
to  the  Church  of  Notre-  Dame, 
built  in  16S4  by  Mnnsart.  Place 
d'Armcs  leads  abo  to  SaUe  da  Jeu  de 
Pautne,  the  famous  cradle  of  the 
French  Revolution  (open  every  day 
from  10—4  o'clock).  Hard  by  is  ihe 
Cathedral  of  St  Lotus  adorned 
with  some  remarlcable  paintings.  In 
the  Avenue  de  Parts  is  the  HoUt 
de  la  Prd feet  lire. 

But  the  greatest  attraction  of  Ver- 
sailles is  the  Chateau,  dating  frum 
the  days  of  Lewis  Xlll.  In  restoriii|; 
and  embellishing  it^  Lewis  XIV.  spent 
60  million  francs.  An  equestrian 
statue  of  the  same  monarch  occupies 
i  the  centre  of  the  square.  BehinJ 
this  court  is  the  Cottr  de  marbre, 
formerly  used  for  royal  festivals.  The 
CkapeJle,  with  a  richly  decorated 
I  interior^  is  just  as  Lewis  XVL  lert  It 
when  he  quitted  Versailles. 

The  Musie  National  is  open  daily 
from  U— 5  o'clock.  Guides  ofTer. 
themselves  to  strangers  when  they 
approach  the  Paliice,  but  they  are 
quite  superfluous.  It  is  impossihie 
to  indtcate  the  numerous  cuHositieii 
of  this  Museum.  It  is,  howeverr 
essential  to  visit  the  Grands  Ap- 
piirieiuents,  the  Galerie  des  Ha--

ANGERS  has  undergone  much 
alteration  during  the  past  100  years; 
notwithstanding  which,  it  contains 
curious  streets,  narrow,  tortuous,  dark 
and  steep,  with  ancient  houses  of 
fantastic  aspect,  and  several  beauti- 
ftil  buildings. 

Religious  Edificet:  1.  The  Cathe- 
dral is  a  grand  and  harmonious  1 1th 
century  structure,  whose  unity  is 
disturbed  only  by  the  western  fa9ade, 
disfigured  by  reparations  made  during 
the  \t^  cent.  Perhaps  one  other 
fault  is  its  disproportionate  narrowness. 
The  2  spires,  several  times  destroyed 
by  fire,  are,  respectively,  2 1 5  and  226  ft. 
high.  In  the  interior,  there  is  some 
magnificent  stained-glass  of  the  12tli 
and  13^  cent,  and  some  splendid 
tapestries  of  the  14th  and  18th  cent. 

2.  The  Palais  Episcopal,  contiguous 
to  the  cathedral,  contains  a  long  gallery 
supported  by  columns  with  Ro- 
manesque capitals,  and  a  large  synodic 
hall  forming  one  of  the  rare  specimens 
of  profane  architecture  anterior  to  the 
Gothic  period  and  left  intact  by  the 
middle  ages. 

3.  Saint 'Serge  belongs  to  a 
monastery  constructed  in  the  7th  cent., 
and  contains  a  charming  piscina  of  the 
16th  cent. 

4.  Triniti  dates  also  from  an  early 
period;  but  radical  restorations  have 
quite- transformed  it.  It  possesses  a  fine 
belfry  and  the  Crypte  de  Ronceray. 

5.  Saint-Laud,  SL  Joseph  and 
Sainte-Thirlse,  as  well  as  the  pretty 
modem  chapel  of  the  Grand  Simi^ 
naire,  are  all  worth  visiting.  Further- 
more, several  older  structures  are  very 
interesting.  These  are:— the  Ronceray; 
the  Tour  de  SL  Aubin;  Saint  Martin 
and  the  Toussaint,  one  of  the  finest 
ruins  in  Anjou,  and  of  striking  aspect. 

Secular  Edifices:  1.  The  Chateau 
built  by  St.  Louis  is  now  used  as 
a  powder-mill.    From  the  esplanade 


I  called  Bout'du-monde,  an  interesting 
view  of  the  town  and  the  environfl 
is  obtained.  Near  the  Chateau,  there 
is  a  bronze  statue  of  King  Reni,  a 
work  by  David  d' Angers, 

2.  The  Rrifecture,  occupying  the 
buildings  of  the  monat'tery  Saint- 
Aubin,  is  remarkable  for  its  magnificent 
series  of  Romanesque  arcades  orna- 
mented with  short  columns,  festoons 
and  strange  sculptures. 

3.  The  Hotel  de  Ville  is  the  ancient 
college  of  Anjou,  erected  in  1691.  It 
contains  the  Tribi^al  de  Commere$» 

4.  The  Theatre  has  very  remarkable 
painted  vaults. 

5.  The  Logis  Barrault,  construttpd 
at  the  beginning  of  the  16th  crat, 
is  of  very  peculiar  character.  It  con- 
tains the  Library,  the  Music  and 
the  Museum  d^Histoire .  NaturelU, 
The  Musie  includes  paintings,  sculp- 
tures, and  the  Musee  David.  The 
Library  consists  of  over  40,000  vols^ 
among  which  is  a  rare  collection  on 
the  languages  of  Asia. 

6.  The  Music  Archiologique,  in  a 
large  hall  of  the  H6pital  St.  Jean,  a 
hall  remarkable  for  its  proportions  and 
monocylindric  pillars,  considered  by 
archaeologists,  the  oldest  English 
monument  of  Gothic  architecture. 

7.  Several  curious  houses  exist  in 
the  old  streets  of  Angers,  e.  g.  the 
Maison  Adam,  Place  St.  Croix;  the 
Hotel  d* Anjou;  the  Maison  dc  la 
Voute,  Boulevard  Descazeaux. 

Besides  the  Jardin  Botanique  and 
the  Jardin  de  la  Prefecture,  Angers 
possesses  the  Mail,  a  very  fine  avenue 
planted  in  1796.

BAYONKE,  formerly  Lapurdum, 
is  a  very  old  town,  owing  its  prin- 
cipal charm  to  its  geographical 
position.  Situated  a  few  kilometres 
from  the  beautiful  ridge  of  the 
Pyrenees  and  the  Gulf  of  Gascogne, 
and  endowed  with  a  very  mild 
climate,  it  lies  at  the  confluence  of 
the  Adour  and  the  Nive,  which  form 
at  this  spot  three  river  arms  dividing 
the  town  into  three  parts. 
Monuments  of  note  are:—* 
The  Cathedral  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  buildings  of  the  Perpen- 
dicular style  in  France;  the  Arsenal; 
the  Hopital  Civil;  the  Chateau 
Vieux,  the  barracks  of  the  Chateau 
Neuf,  and  the  Ciiadelle.  The  city 
is  surrounded  by  a  fortified  wall> 
which  it  owes  to  Vauban.  A  beautiful 
promenade,  called  "AlUes  Marines*', 
runs  ak>ng  the  river  from  the  centre 
of  the  town  to  the  sea*  At  the  mouth 
of  the  Adour,  an  enormous  sand- 
bank, "la  Barre",  prevents  vessels 
of  great  tonnage  from  entering  the 
harbour.  The  river  traffic,  however, 
is  somewhat  important.  Near  the 
"Barre**,  the  "Forges  de  Boucan** 
constitute  one  of  the  curiosities  of 
the  country. 
i  The    charming    excursions    to    SU 

Etienne  Anglet  and  Saint  Pierre 
render  Bayonne  a  favourite  resort 
of  pedestrians. 

But    the     principal     attraction    of 

Bayonne  is  its  nearness  to  Biarritz, 

The  means  of  communication  between 

these   two  cities    are  numerous  and 

cheap.     A  local  railway  (Cie  Bayonne- 

j       Anglet-Biarritz)    makes    the    journey 

;       in  15  minutes,   four    times    an  hour; 

!       i  ~i   an  electric  car   runs  continually 

I  m    the   centre  of  Bayonne  to   the 

:    art    of    Biarritz,     stopping    at    all 

<      lers   along   the  whole  line  of  the 

utiful  "Napoleon  Road**.

The  little  town  of  Biarritz  is  the 
most  coquettish  and  the  best  frequented 
of  the  watering-places  of  the  whole 
coast  Three  strands,  broken  by 
rocks  and  surrounded  by  pictures- 
que cliffs,  are  invaded  during  the 
season  by  bathers;  these  are  the 
Grande  Plage  or  C^e  des  Pous, 
le  Port- Vieux  and  the  CStes  des 
Basques.  This  last  extends  as  far 
as  the  coast  of  Spain,  which  is 
to  be  seen,  in  the  distance,  with  the 
naked  eye. 

On  the  Grande  Plage  rise  a 
splendid  new  Casino  (the  attrac- 
tions of  which  are  renowned) 
the  old  Castle  of  Napoleon  III.  — 
now  transformed  into  the  H6tel  du 
Palais  —  and  lastly  the  Lighthouse, 
on  a  promontory  that  separates 
Biarritz  from  la  Barre,  One  should 
also  visit  the  Rocher  de  la  Vierge, 
that  rises  out  of  the  sea  and  to 
which  large  break- waters  give  access. 
The  walk  from  Biarritz  to  Anglet 
on  the  road  to  the  lighthouse  is 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  in  the 
district. 

At  the  commencement  of  the  Grande 
Plage  is  situated  the  chief  bathing 
ebtablishment,  forming  part  of  the 
new  Casino,  rebuilt  in  1896.  The 
terrace  leading  up  to  it  is  one  of 
considerable  length,  and  forms  a 
very  animated  promenade.  The  Plage 
itself  is  as  strand  composed  of  firm, 
coarse  sand.

old  Casino,  we  reach 

rAtalaye,  a  promontory  crowned 
with  the  pioturesque  rains  of  an  old 
oastle. 

L'Atalaye  is  joined  by  a  tunnel 
to  the  old  port,  where  is  situated 
a  bathing-place  which  is  favoured 
by  the  fashionable  classes.  Near  it 
is  the  third  strand,  called  Cote  des 
Basques,  where  the  waves  break 
with. unimpeded  violence,  and  where 
another  bathing  establishment  stands. 

In  the  new  quarter  of  Biarritz  and 
adjoining  the  Grande  Plage,  a  magni- 
ficent establishment  for  bathing  was 
erected  in  1893.  It  is  called  the 
Thermes  Salins  and  is  fed  by  salt- 
water from  Briscous. 

Pleasant  villas  and  splendid  hotels 
realising  all  modem  comfort,  rise,

since,  consisted  of  but  a  few  white 
fishing-houses  and  a  lunatic  asylum 
that  has  given  its  name  to  the  Grande 
Plage.

PAU,  formerly  the  capital  of  Beam 
and  now  the  chief  town  of  the 
Basses  -  Pyrenees,  is  a  pretty  town 
lying  at  the  edge  of  a  vast  plateau 
and  dominating  a  delightful  valley 
through,  which  flows  the  Gave  de 
Fau.  Unrivalled  for  combined  purity 
of  air  and  clemency^  of  climate, 
it  is  well -built,  with  pretty  prome- 
nades, and  fine,  broad  streets,  admir- 
ably kept 


Moreover,  the  recently  discovered 
and  much  appreciated  chalybeate 
spring  has  greatly  added  to  the 
repute  of  the  town,  and  raised  it 
to  the  rank  of  a  leading  spa. 
Great  numbers  of  valetudinarians 
and  others  frequent  the  place  at 
various  periods  of  the  year.  During 
the  winter  months  it  is  a  favourite 
resort  of  the  fashionable  world, 
who  And  here,  as  well  the  charms 
of  nature  as  the  distractions  of  modem 
civilisation.  Indeed,  Pau  shares  with 
Bagneres  de  Luchon  the  reputation  of 
being  the  most  famous  winter-station 
in  the  S.W.  of  France. 

Pau  is  the  birth-place  of  Henry  IV. 
(1553-1610),  and  of  Bernadotte  (1763- 
1844),  King  of  Sweden. 

Henry  IV* s  Chateau  stands  near 
the  head  of  the  bridge  that  spans 
the  Gave ,  being  separated  from 
the  river  by  the  Mint.  The  building, 
open  daily,  is  an  Irregular  pentagon 
with  six  square  towers.  It  is  a  ■ 
structure  of  considerable  age,  was 
rebuilt  in  the  14  th  cent  and  was 
greatly  modified  under  Napoleon  III. 
The  Chapel  to  one's  left  on 
entering  from  Rue  Henry  IV*  was*' 
added  in  1840.  Beyond  it  is  a  portico 
in  Renaissance  style  dating  from  1864. 
The  tower  of  Gaston  -  Phebus»  like^ 
wise  on  the  left,  contsins  the 
dungeon:  that  on  the  right  is  the 
new  Tower  built  by  Napoleon  UI. 
The  interior  consists  of  a  large  number 
of  apartments.  In  the  'Princes'  Dining- 
room,  on  the  ground  -  floor,  there 
are  statues  of  Henry  IV.,  Sully  &c. 
The  other  rooms  contain  some  fine 
Gobelins  and  Flanders  tapestry,  the 
cradle  of  Henry  IV.  and  numerous 
other  objects  both  beautiful  and 
interesting. 

Pau  also  possesses  a  museum, 
situated  in  the  E.  of  the  town,  which, 
though  of  recent  date,  contains  a  very 
fair  collection  of  pictures.

TOULOUSE  is  a  very  old  and  beau- 
tiful town.  Agreeably  situated  on  the 
Garonne.  Through  the  city  flows  the 
Canal  du  Midi,  constructed  by  Paul 
Riquet  in  the  17th  cent  and  joining 
the  Mediterranean  with  the  Atlantic. 
The  river  and  canal  traffic  of  the 
town  is  of  great  importance.  Notwith- 
standing the  size  of  the  town  and  its 
leading  position  as  a  commercial  city, 
Toulouse  presented  till  recently  a  some- 
what unsightly  appearance.  But  the 
enterprise  of  the  past  century  has  greatly 
changed  the  physiognomy  of  the  plaoe 
and  rendered  it  much  more  attractive. 

The  principal  streets  on  the  right  bank 
of  the  riyer  Usue  from  the  Grand  Bond, 
a  fine  and  tree-planted  circus  in  the  S.B. 
of  the  city  near  the  Canal  du  Midi  They 
are :—  the  Grand  All^  southwards,  A116e 
St.  Michel,  southwestwards,  and  Allte 
St.  Btienne.  northwards.  This  last  soon 
becomes  Boulevard  Gamot.  Beyond 
AUde  Lafayette,  the  avenue  is  con- 
tinued under  the  name  of  Bd.  de  Stras- 
bourg, and  then  curves  round,  as  boule- 
vards d*Arcole,  Las  Grosses  and  d*Ar- 
tUlerie,  to  the  Canal  de  Brienne.  All4e 
St.  Michel  crosses  the  long  St.  Michel's 
Bridge,  from  whose  western  end  starts 
A114e  de  la  Bepublique,  the  chief  street 
on  the  left  bank  of  the  Garonne. 

The  most  striking  edifices  are  the 
following:— 

The  Capitoly  or  Town  Hall,  a  building 
dating  from  the  16^  cent,  and  having 
an  lis^^  century  facade:  it  possesses 
also  a  fine  Renaissance  gateway. 

A  short  distunoe  to  the  N.  rises 

St.  Ssrnin's  Cbareta,  the  finest  struc- 
ture in  Touloase  and  one  of  the  hand- 
somest Bomanesaae  churches  extant. 
It  is  a  cruciform  building  with  a  nave 
and  double  aisles.  The  various  porches 
are  deserving  of  attention;  and  the 
interior  is  remarkable  for  its  choir- 
stalls,  basreliefs,  organs,  and  treasury; 
while  the  dock  is  very  fine^  and  plays 
some  bars  of  the  Ave  Maria  of  Lourdes 
every  quarter  of  an  hour,  and  the  whole 
air  at  the  hour  Itselt 

The  Church  of  the  Jaeoblas  dates  frem 
the  L»^  and  U^  cent.,  its  brick  tower 
being  in  the  charactenstio  stvle  of  Tou- 
louse.   The  building  is  attached  to  the

It  has,  however,  rapidly  retamed  to 
its  accustomed  tranqoilUty  and  self- 
possession,  notwithstanding  its  garrison 
and  its  schools. 

A  visit  may  he  paid  to  the  Palais 
de  Jostiee,  a  building  of  severe  design 
(1618);  the  Cathedrals  St.  Pierre;  and 
the  Hnseamy  where  some  pictures  of 
real  worth  are  to  be  seen. 

The  Lycee  in  itself  offers  nothing 
remarkable,  bnt  it  now  possesses  an 
historical  interest  on  account  of  the 
famous  court-martial  that  took  place 
within  its  walls  and  marks  the  last

of  France  are  made.  The  most  striking 
works  here  are  the  draw- bridge  (a  con-

arseaal)  the  barraeks  and  the  walls. 
The  city  itself  offers  nothing  particularly

781 


lighthouses  illuminate  the  harbour 
and  the  roadstead.  The  import£ince 
of  the  place  from  a  commercial  poijit 
of  view  has  induced  the 

Hamburg-American  Line  to  choose 
the  port  as  a  place  of  call  on  the 
route  between  America  and  Europe, 
the  general  offices  of  the  company 
being  at  30  Quai  Alexandre  ILL

The  atmosphere  is  pure  and  bracing,     ^ 
and  the  bathing  very  agreeable.  Lawn-  / 
tennis  and  other  games  are  much  ir/ 
vogue;   while  the  good  roads   of  the 
surrounding  country  tempt  numerous 
bicyclists  to  the  village.    For  the  con- 
venience of  Anglo-Saxon  visitors,  an 


bglM  terviee  is  held  every  Sunday 
in  Ibe  Protestant  Chapel. 

The  situation  of  the  village  is  superb. 
Behind  it  rise  hills  of  considerable 
height;  while  the  two  valleys  at  the 
junction  of  which  it  stands  open  on- 
to a  semi -circular  beach  terminating 
at  either  end  in  curious  stone-arches 
formed  by  the  action  of  the  sea. 
These  are  termed  the  Falaise  d'Amont

numerous  turrets  and  domes,  rising 
to  a  height  of  300  ft,  and  presenting,

Etretat  is  an  ancient  place  through 
which,  formerly,  there  passed  a  Roman 
road.  But  its  present  population  is 
derived  from  the  Norse  settlers;  and 
the  Church  of  Notre  Dame  is  a 
mingling  of  Norman  and  Gothic  styles. 
The  only  other  edifice  of  note  in  the 
village  itself  is  the  Chateau  Grand-

with  ramparts,  but  contains  no  very 
remarkable  edifices;  its  Museum,  is 
however,  one  of  the  richest  in  Europe. 

The  Rue  Faidherbe  and  the  Grande 
Place  offer  but  few  attractions.  The 
aristocratic  quarter  of  Samt -Andre 
is  quieter  and  cleaner  than  the  rest 
of  the  town.

BELGIUM. 


POPULATION  8lc,  Belgium,  wiih 
6^2  million  inhabitants  to  only  29,500 
square  kilometres  of  territory,  is  the 
most  densely  populated  state  in 
Europe.  It  is  bounded  on  the  west 
by  the  North  Sea,  on  the  south  by 
France,  on  the  east  by  Germany  and 
on  the  north  by  Holland. 

The  realm  was  formed  by  the 
union  of  the  ancient  Duchy  of  Brabant, 
the  Marquisate  of  Antwerp,  the 
Principality  of  Liege  —  the  Counties 
ot  Malines,  Flanders  and  Hainault, 
and  the  Duchies  of  Luxembourg  and 
Limbourg. 

At  the  present  day,  it  consists  of 
9  provinces,  corresponding  roughly 
to  the  original  states  from  which  it 
arose.  Till  1830,  it  constituted  an 
integral  part  of  the  Kingdom  of  the 
Netherlands.  But  a  difference  as  to 
the  official  language  caused  its 
secession;  and  it  became  a  separate 
kingdom  under  Leopold  L  of  the 
house  of  Saxe-Coburg  Gotha. 

GOVERNMENT.  Belgium  is  a 
limited  monarchy,  whose  constitution 
was  determined  by  the  decree  of 
February  7th  1831,  modified  by  the 
act  of  Sept.  7tli  1893.  The  crown 
is  assisted  in  the  government  by  a 
Senate  and  a  Chamber  of  Represen- 
tatives, elected  by  universal  suffrage. 


The  members  of  the  latter  must  be 
not  less  than  25  years  of  age,  and 
are  elected  for  4  years  in  the  pro- 
portion of  one  to  40,000  inhabitants. 
The  number  of  senators  is  half  that 
of  the  representatives:  40  years  is 
the  minimum  age  required,  and  the 
seat  may  be  held  for  8  years. 

RAILWAYS  traverse' the  land  in 
all  directions,  forming  a  close  net- 
work.    The  principal  lines  are: — 

Brussels-Malines- Antwerp ;  Brussels- 
Ghent-  Bruges ;  Brussels-Tournay- Lille 
(France) ;  Brussels-Mons- Valenciennes 
(France);  Brussels- Charleroi;  Brusscls- 
Namur-Dlnant- Luxembourg;  Brussels- 
Lou  vain-  Liege-  Ver viers-Cologne  (Ger- 
many); Ghent-Malines-Louvain. 

MONEY.  The  same  system  as 
in  France.  The  coins  are:'—  Gold, 
20  frs.;  Silver,  5  frs.,  2  frs.,  1  fr.

and  the  interior  deserves  a  visit. 

Behind  the  cathedral  is  Rue  Treuren- 
berg,  which  leads  to  Rue  Royale,  and 
cuts  it  at  right  angles.  Rue  Royale 
is  one  of  the  finest  roads  in  the  city;

Owing  to  its  remarkable  position 
at  the  confluence  of  the  Sambre  with 
the  Meuse,  Namur  has  always  been 
a  town  of  great  strategic  importance; 
and  it  is  still  surrounded  with  9  forts. 

Moreover,  at  the  present  day,  it 
has  beboma  «  favourite  rendesvoos 
of  tourists  and  ^  place  of  villegiatura 
both  of  the  Belgians  and  of  foreigners, 
a  Kursaal  having  been  erectedj  a 
few  years  since,  at  the  junction  of 
the  two  rivers. 

In  consequence  of  ^e  many  sieges 
which  the  city  has  withstood,  most 
of  the  buildings  are  of  modern  date. 
The  finest  is 

The  Cathedral,  designed  by  Pizzoni 
of  Milan,  who  drew  his  inspiration 
from  St.Peter*s  at  Rome  and  StPaul's 
in  London.  It  possesses  a  fine  granite 
Ia9ade  ornamented  with  twenty  co- 
lumns and  surmounted  by  a  cornice 
of  considerable  beauty.  The  interior 
is  remarkable  for  the  purity  of  its 
style,  and  contains  two  marble  statues 
representing  St  Peter  and  St.  Paul; 
a  noteworthy  picture  of  the  crucific- 
tion,  attributed  to  van  Dy ck;  and  a 
very  fine  pulpit  executed  by  Greefs 
and  having  for  subfect  "The  Virgin 
protecting,  the  city  of  Namur". 

Other  buildingsof  note  are:—  The 
Church  of  Si,  Loup,  17th  cent;  the 
CitadelU,  occupying  the  site  of  the 
ancient  Ch&teau  and  perhaps  that  of 
the  camping-ground  of.  the  Aduatuci, 
mentioned  by  Casar;  the  Hotel  de 
Ville,  containing  an  interesting  picture 
galfery;  \ht  Theatre,  %  very  beautiful 


structure  in  neo- Greek  Style;  fbe 
Museum,  containing  interesting  relics 
of  the  Gallo-Roman  period;  and  the 
Casino,  situated  at  Grande  Place. 

The  surroundings  of  Namur  are 
extremely  picturesque;  and  the  two 
lines  into  which  the  railway  crossing 
the  Meuse  divides  traverse  some  ex- 
tremely pretty  country.  That  running 
south-eastwards,  takes  us  through  the 
celebrated  Forest  of  Ardennes,  a 
rugged  and  hilly  district,  with  points

OHENT  is  situated  on  the  Schelde 
(Esciut)  and  its  several  tributaries, 
which  dissect  the  place  in  all  direc- 
tions and  are  crossed  by  nomberless 
bridges.  The  city  covers  «  large  area 
of  ground,  and  does  an  important 
trade  in  flax,  oil  and  dyed  goods; 
while  the  linen  and  machine  industries 
are  not  inconsiderable.  The  place 
dates  back  to  perhaps  the  6i>h  cent., 
and  contains  a  number  of  noteworthy 
buildings,  of  which  the  most  important 
are  the  following,  namely: — 

The  Cathedral  of  St.  Bavon,  in  the. 
centre  of  the  city,  near  the  banks  of 
the  Schelde.  It  is  a  Gothic  structure 
of  no  great  beauty,  but  possesses  a 
fine  interior  with  a  10*h  cent,  crypt, 
and  a  choir  completed  in  1300;  while 
the  chapels  are  of  the  Gothic  period. 
The  choir  contains  numerous  works  of 
Art,  including  the  celebrated  'Adoration 
of  the  Lamb*  by  J,  &  H.  van  Eyck;  in 
the  chapels,  there  are  also  some  fine 
productions,  such  as  Jansen*s  *Pieta', 
and  Ruben's  picture  of  *Saint  Bavon 
assuming  the  cOwl*. 

Close  by  is  the  Episcopal  Palace, 
and  at  the  end  of  the  street  is  the 
Belfry,  a  lofty  structure  commanding 
a  fine  view  of  the  city.  Near  it  is  the 
Hotel  de  Ville,  a  double  structure 
in  flamboyant  style  but  with  a 
Renaissance  fa9ade.  Besides  several 
churches  —  such  as  SL  Peter's, 
with  paintings  by  Jansen  and  others, 
and  SUMichaeVsi,  with  a  production 
of  van  Dyck's  &c.  —  there  are 
a  ruined  Abbey,  a  nunnery,  called 
Grand  Biguinage,  a  Casino,  a 
handsome  Palais  de  Justice,  and  a 
Museum,  containing  about  250  pic- 
tures and  statues,  several  of  which 
are  interesting.

ed populatibn,  lies  about  7  miles 
from  Uie  North  Sea,  and  was,  for 
a  long  period,  the  residence  of  the 
Counts  of  Flanders. 

From  the  R«ilway  Station  (a  fine 
Gothic  structure),  we  reach,  •first, 
the  Cd^Airar  (through  Rue  Sud  du 
Sablon).  This  is  A  Gothic  edifice  of 
the  14tli  century  and  noteworthy 
for  its  carvings,  its  fine  choir  and 
the  banners  of  the  knights  of  the 
"Gulden  Vlies".  In  the  interior,  there 
are  several  large  paintings  and  some 
stained -glass. 

Hence,  through  Rue  St.  Esprit,  we 
reach  the  Church  of  Notre  Dame, 
erected  in  the  12th  century.  It  has 
a  tower,  395  ft.  in  height,  and  many 
turrets.  The  interior  is  embellished 
with  several  fine  pictures  and  a 
beautiful  marble  group  of  the  Virgin 
and  Child,  ascribed  to  Michael  Angelo. 
The  high -altar  dates  from  the  IS^h 
century;  while,  in  the  nave,  there  is 
a  pulpit  with  beautiful  reliefs  and 
figures  of  the  18th  century. 

To  the  left  side  of  the  Notre  Dame  is 
the  Hospital  of  St  John,  with  inter- 
esting sculptures  above  the  gateway 
and  a  number  of  paintings  by  Memling, 
which  are  worth  seeing.  Thence, 
through  Rue  Sainte  Catherine,  we 
proceed  to  the  Museum^  containing 
the  Picture  Gallery  of  the  Academy, 
with  works  of  the  early  Flemish  school. 
From  here.  Rue  Neuve  de  Gand  and 
Rue  de  VEckhout  lead  to  the  Palace 
of  Justice   with   interesting   objects. 

Other  sights  of  the  town  are :—  the 
Church  of  Jerusalem,  said  to  be  an 
imitation  of  that  at  Jerusalem;  the 
Church  of  St.  Anna;  the 'Church  of 
SL  Jacques;  the  Town  Hall,  dating 
from  the  14^  cent;  and  the  ancient 
Hotel  de  Gruuihuuse  containing  an 
interesting  collection  of  old  laces. 
Many  delightful  excursions  can  be 
made  in  the  neighbourhood.

OSTEND,  the  summer  residence  of 
the  King  of  Belgium,  i3  one  of  the  most 
fashionable  watering-places  in  Europe, 
being  visited*  during  the  season,  by 
some  50,000  guests  and  tourists. 

The  principal  building  is  the  Kur- 
hans,  which,  erected  on  the  Seedamm, 
is  considered  the  finest  in  Europe. 
It  was  erected  from  Naert's  designs  in 
1878,  but  has  since  undergone  numerous 
improvements.  The  southern  entrance 
is  remarkable  for  its  granite  columns; 
while  the  vestibules  are  faced  with 
rare  marble.  The  chief  building  contains 
a  Concert  Hall  capable  of  seating 
4,000  persons  and  used  for  concerts 
of  a  high  character,  the  orchestra  of 


120  musicians  being  one  of  the  best 
in  Europe.  Opening  out  of  this  is  the 
Salle  de  Files,  where  special  concerts 
are  given  and  frequent  balls  are  beldp 
The  Kurhaus  also  contains  several 
reading  -  rooms,  billiard  rooms, 
music  saloons.  There  is  also  a  Pun  ^ 
Room  in  Pare  Leopold,  the  water 
of  which,  containing  bicarbonates  of 
sodium  and  iron^  sulphates  of  magne« 
Slum  and  calcium^  chlorides  of  aU 
the  alkalies  &c^  are  very  helpful  in 
the  treatment  of  debility,  lymphatics, 
arthntism,  gravel,  diabetes,  dyspepsia 
and  chronic  affections  of  the  intestin  '^ 
urinary  and  genital  organs.  _ 

Two  fine  piers  extend  a  long  way 
into  the  sea:  the  one  has  a  length 
of  680  yds.,  the  other  of  600  yds. 
On  the  western  pier  there  are  seats 
and  a  cafe.  The  5sh  brought  in  to 
Ost^nd  are  excellent;  and  the  auctions 
are  very  interesting. 

But  the  great  attraction  of 
famous  watering-place  is  its  splendti 
promenade  called  the  DigitCr  It  runs 
along  the  sea-front  for  a  distance  pf 
three  miles  and  is  lined  with  build* 
ings  of  a  most  handsome  and  ele^ 
gant  charaoteri  among  them  bein 
the  Chalet  of  King  Leopold  II. 

Between    the    Digue    and    Che 
stretch     the    famous    sands,    whfi 
bathing  goes  on  all  day  long,  althoti 
the  favourite  and  most  agreeable  1 
is  from  10  till  noon.

ANTWERP,  one  of  the  leading  tea- 
ports  of  Europe,  is  situated  on  the 
Schelde,  and  has  an  almost  purely 
Flemish  population;  though  the  number 
of  foreigners,  especially  Germans,  is 
very  great.  During  recent  years  the 
trade  of  the  place  has  increased  very 
rapidly,  so  that  it  is  now  one  of 
the  largest  commercial  centres  of  the 
Continent.  Indeed,  the  docks,  which 
lie  principally  in  the  N.  of  the  town, 
have   an   area    of   some   360  acres.

The  Flemifh  mtnufaetures  are  cloth, 
carpets,  lace,  jewellery  ftc. 

The  most  interesting  building  is  the 
Calhtdral  (open  6  a.m. — \2  and  4—5 
p.  m.)»  at  Place  Verte,  a  square  adorn- 
ed with  a  bronze  statue  of  Rubens. 
Built  as  a  crucifix  basilica  in  Gothic 
style,  it  is  the  largest  and  most 
beautiful  church  of  Belgium.  It  was 
commenced  in  1352,  and  completed 
in  the  17th  cent.  The  tower  has 
three  galleries,  to  the  second  of 
which  a  flight  of  about  600  steps 
leads  up.  It  affords  a  splendid  view 
of  the  town  and  of  the  Schelde  as  far 
as  Flushing,  Breda  and  Brussels. 
In  the  interior,  there  are  many  inter- 
esting paintings  by  Rubens  and  other 


great  Flemish  masters:  respectively  to 
the  right  and  left  of  the  great  altar  are 
the  '^Raising  of  the  Cross"  and  the 
**Descent  from  the  Cross",  —  both  of 
them  masterpieces  by  Rubens;  between 
them  is  his  ''Assumption  of  the  Virgin". 
The  cathedral  contains,  further,  some 
fine  stained-glass;  and  the  chimes 
consist  of  40  bells,  with  beautiful  peal. 
Not  far  from  the  Cathedral  is  Grande 
Place,  to  the  left  of  which  rises  the 
Tonm  Ball,  an  interesting  16th  cent, 
building  by  Cornelius  de  Vriendt,  with 
fine  fa9ade.  It  contains  some  fine 
rooms,  all  embellished  with  wood- 
carvings.  In  the  Leysaal  and  the 
Salle  de  Mariages,  there  are  several 
beautiful  paintings  and  mantelpieces.

The  Salle  du  Conseil  communal 
contains  painted  ceilings  and  portraits 
of  the  royal  family.  On  the  Grande 
Place  stands  the  statue  of  Salvius 
Brabo  cutting  off  the  hand  of  the 
giant  Antigonus. 

From  this  legend  the  town  is  said 
to  derive  its  name.  Antwerp  was 
formerly  Handworpen  (Hand-thrown). 
At  No.  4  Grande  Place,  van  Dyck 
was  bom.  Hence  through  Rue  de 
Jardin,  we  reach  5/.  Paul's,  also  an 
interesting  church  in  late-Gothic  style; 
moreover,  it  possesses  an  admirable 
organ,  interesting  pictures  by  Rubens, 
van  Dyck,  Jordaens  &c.,  a  fine  high 
altar-piece,  and  the  tombs  of  Henry 
▼an  Variek,  a  Margrave  of  Antwerp^ 
and  Bishop  Ophovius. 


Other  noteworthy  churches  are  SL 
Augustine's;  the  Capuchin  Church, 
with  two  very  valuable  paintings  by 
van  Dyck  and  Rubens;  the  Jesuit 
Church,  magnincently  adorned  with 
marble  work,  and  about  35  pictures 
by  Rubens;  St,  Jacque*5,  the  most  im- 
portant in  late-Gothic  style  and  of 
crucifix  form:  it  possesses  vaults  and 
altars  of  the  Antwerp  aristocracy,  as 
well  as  Rubens'  tomb  and  pictures  by 
Rubens  (especially  **Holy  Fami'  *" , 
van  Dyck,  Geefs,  Kuyper  and  ot 

But  the  most  important  edifi( 
Antwerp  is  the  Museum,  a  hands 
structure  in  Grfleco-Renaissance  s( 
it   possesses  a  host  of  painting 
presenting  mainly  the  Flemish  sc

HOLLAND. 


•aOttBAPUOAL.  Holland,  or  more 
MBnotly  the  Hetherluide,  ie  a  country 
of  unique  ohereeter.  It  lies  between 
Gemuuiy,  Belgium  end  the  North  Sea, 
from  which  lait  it  has  been,  to  a  great 
extent^  reclaimed,  and  from  which  it  is 
proteoted  by  nnmerone  dykes.  In  the 
very  heart  of  the  country  lies  the  Zeider- 
seey  a  yast  tract  of  sea- water  almost  en- 
closed by  the  Province  of  North-Holland 
and  a  belt  of  islands  curving  round 
from  Nieurwe  Diep  to  within  a  few  miles 
of  the  German  coast.  This  sea'  is  now 
being  drained  and,  when  the  process  is 
complete,  the  area  of  the  country  will 
be  greatly  increased.  Through  the 
southern  part  of  the  Netherlands  flows 
the  principal  outlet  of  the  Bhine,  called 
the  Waal,  which,  meeting  the  Mouse 
(Haas),  streams  out  between  the 
numerous  islands  of  South  Holland  and 
Zeeland  to  the  North  Sea,  the  whole 
coantry  being  indeed  but  the  alluvial 
deposits  of  these  mighty  rivers. 

HtSTOBICAL.  Though  such  a  small 
statCi  the  Netherlands  have  played  an 
important  and  ii^resting  part  in  the 
history  of  Europe.  Inhabited  in  Boman 
days,  by  the  Batavians,  they  became  later 
the  home  of  Frisian  tribes  moving 
southwestwards.  Having  been  under  the 
dominion  of  the  Franks  in  the  0^  cent., 
and  of  Charlemagne  in  the  8^  cent.,  the 
Netherlands  became,  SOO  years  later,  a 
part  of  the  old  German  Empire.  In  1487, 
they  passed  Under  the  rule  of  Philip  of 
Burgundy;  while,  in  the  16^^  cent,  the 

Srovinces  were  united  to  the  Spanish 
ominions.  It  was  under  Charles  the 
Fif  th*s  son  Philip,  that  the  great  religious 
rebellion,  headed  by  the  Prince  of 
Orange,  began  and  led  to  the  terrible 
and  bloodv  scenes  inaugurated  by  the 
Duke  of  Alba.  These  events,  culminating 
in  the  Treaty  of  Utrecht,  made  HoUimd 
great,  and  produced  the  Dutch  Republic, 
whose  commercial,  intellectual,  and  ax^ 
tistio  life  during  the  17*^  century  was 
one  of  almost  unparalleled  splendour, 
rivaUing  that  of  the  Italian  Bepublics. 
But  in  Its  decline,  Holland  was  seised 
by  the  French,  in  1706,  Napoleon's  brother 
Lewis  beinfr  made  King.  In  1818,  how- 
ever, the  French  were  expelled';  and 
two  years  later.  William  of  Orange  was 
ehpsen  king,  his  greatgranddaughter 
being  the  present  much-loved  Queen. 


LAV«UAei.  The  Dutch  Umgmm  Is, 
from  a  philological  point  of  Tiaw,  ex- 
tremely interesting.  To  tha  nsass  of 
visitors  it  is,  however,  'double -Dutch*; 
but  as  all  the  inhabitants  who  pretend  ts 
any  education  are  able  to  make  them- 
selves understood  in  English,  French  and 
G^man,  travelling  is  an  easy  matter. 

HONKT:  The  Dutch  monetary  system, 
though  a  decimal  one,  differs  eoaaider-  , 
ably  from  that  of  the  Frenoh  Union.  Ths  ' 
standard  is  the  ^Gulden'  (guilder)  which 
equals  40  cents  (U.S.iL.V  The  coins  are:—

however,  the  heardquarters  of  the 
Zeeland  Steamship  Company;  Flushing- 
Queensborough  being  also  one  ot 
the  chief  passenger  routes  botweea 
England  and  the  Continent 

The  harbour  of  Flushing  iM  divided 
into  three  parts,  known  as  the  Outer 
Port  and  the  first  and  second  Inner 
Ports.  A  canal,  dissecting  the  ble 
of  Walcheren,  connects  the  harbour 
with  Middelburg  4  Vasra.  The  town 


itself,  situated  a  mile  distant  from  the 
harbour,  is  a  quiet  place. 

On  Kaaskaait  there  is  a  bit  of  the 
old  town;  but,  many  years  since,  the 
old  Town  Hall,  two  churches  and  about 
a  hundred  houses  were  destroyed. 

The  present  Town  Hall  contains 
several  antiquities.  There  is  also 
a  statue  to  Admiral  de  Ruyter  who 
was  bom  here. 

St.  Jacob* s  Church,  in  Brandery  St^ 
was  built  in  1328. 

Flushing  is  a  watering-place,  much 
frequented  during  the  season.  The 
Grand  Bath  Hotel,  on  the  dunes,  was 
built  m  1882.  The  Bsplanade  is  a  plea- 
sant promenade  opposite  this  hotel.

ROTTERDAM  is  the  chief  seaport 
of  Holland,  the  number  of  vessels 
putting  into  the  port  annually  being 
about  6,000.  The  harbour  and  river, 
which  is  tidal  far  above  the  town, 
admit  the  largest  liners.  More  than  half 
of  the  whole  commerce  of  the  country 
passes  through  Rotterdam,  as  the  bulk 
of  the  Rhine  trade  is  in  the  hands  of 
its  merchants,  whose  wharves  he  along 
the  numerous  canals,  such  as  Oude 
Haven,  Nieuwe  Haven  &c.  The  principal 


quagr  is  the  Boompjes,  where  most  of 
the  ooean-going  steamers  anchor. 

The  harbour  and  the  river,  crossed 
by  two  large  bridges,  constitute  the 
chief  interest  of  the  place;  but  there 
are  also  a  few  edifices  worth  visiting. 

The  Groote  Kcrh  or  51.  Laurens 
(15th  cent)  was  restored  some  years 
ago.  Formerly,  it  was  a  Catholic  Church 
but,  during  the  revolution,  it  passed 
into  the  hands  of  the  protestants.  The 
interior  was  left  untouched  except  that 
the  statues  were  all  destroyed.  There  is 
still  a  very  fine  copper  grating,  behind 
which  the  altar  formerly  stood.  There 
are  also  fine  monuments  to  Admirals 
Kortenear  and  van  Brakel,  two  Dutch 
heroes.  A  flight  of  365  steps  leads 
to  the  top  of  the  tower,  (fee  dO^^) 
whence  a  fine  view  of  the  town  and 
the  surrounding  country  is  obtained. 

The  Lutheran  Church  is  an  old 
building  with  a  copper  roof.  All  the 
other  churches  are  modern  structures. 

Boyman's  Museum,  is  a  Picture 
Gallery  on  Schiedamsche  Dyk:  its  pre- 
decessor was  destroyed  by  fire  about 
thirty  years  since,  and  alarge  number  of 
paintings  of  great  value  fell  a  prey  to  the 
flames;  but  it  still  contains  works  by 
van  Dyck,  Rubens,  Rembrandt,  Ostade, 
Jan  Steen   and   several   later  artists. 

Kunstzalen  Oldenzeet,  Gedempte 
Clash  aven  20,  is  the  largest  and  finest 
private  Gallery  in  Rotterdam,  and 
should  not  be  missed  by  lovers  of 
art  treasures. 

AnEthnolog  ical  andNaval  Museum, 
on  Willemskade.  Near  the  Bourse  is 
the  Museum  of  Industry  and  Art. 

On  the  Groote  Markt  stands  a  statue 
of  Erasmus  (1467).  This  market  is 
built  like  a  bridge  across  a  canal: 
the  peasants  gathering  here  from  the 
environs  form  an  interesting  sight 

At  the  corner  of  the  Groote  Markt 
and  the  Hang,  there  stood,  a  few  years 
back,  a  house  called  "In  duizend 
vreezen*' iSn  thousand  terrors).  In  1572, 
when  the  Spaniards  spilt  blood  like 
water,  the  inhabitants  of  this  house 
closed  all  the  windows,  and,   killing

Tne  HAGUE  is  the  Residence  of  the 
Queen  of  Holland,  and  a  very  cos  mo- 
politantown.  It  is  an  exceedingly  hand- 
some and  pleasant  place,  Btirrounded  by 
fine  woods;  and  though  there  is  none 
of  the  bustle  of  Rotterdam  or  Amster- 
d^m^  one  sees  crowds  of  people  strol  ; 
about  bent  on  pleasure*  Fcom  the  1-  i 
centf  the  Hague  has  been  the  polJt  1 
capital  of  Holland,  In  the  centra  t

south-east  side  of  the  water  b  ir 
"Binptmhof'  (13  cont),  one  of  s 
most    ancient    buildinga   in    Hol^' 


It  is  A  red  brick  structure,  and  was 
formerly  a  Castle  of  the  Counts  of 
Holland.  A  part  of  it  is  now  used  by 
the  *'Staten  .Gencraal"  (Dutch  Parlia- 
ment). Within  the  courts  of  the  Binnen- 
hof  is  another  building,  called  the  Hall 
of  the  Knight,  which  was  formerly  a 
court  of  justice.  Before  this  Hall, 
Prince  Maurice  of  Nassau  ordered  the 
execution  of  Johan  van  Oldenbarne veld , 
his  prime  minister,  in  1619.  In  the 
Buitenhof,  an  open  space  to  the  south- 
west of  the  Binnenhof,  is  a  statue  of 
King  William  II.  The  Gcvangenpoort, 
once  a  prison  for  political  conspira- 
tors, is  worth  seeing.  In  1672,  Cor- 
nelius de  Witt  was  incarcerated  here. 
The  Town  Hall  (16th  cent.)  was 
restored  some  years  since.  Near  it  is 
the  GrooU  Kerk  (ISth  cent.),  with 
several  monuments.  In  the  Nieutve 
Kerk,  on  the  Spui,  are  the  tombs  of 
Spinoza  and  the  Witts. 

The  Mauritshuis,  the  depository  of 
a  picture  gallery,  stands  at  the  north- 
eastern end  of  the  Binnenhof  with  a 
great  many  important  paintings  by  old 
Dutch  masters,  i.  e.  Rembrandt,  Potter, 
G.  Dou  &c.,  the  first  and  second 
especially,  being  well  represented. 

The  Gallery  of  Baron  Steenj^racht, 
at  Vyverberg,  contains  pictures  by 
ancient  and  modern  masters. 

The  Municipal  Museum,  Tour- 
nooiveld,  also  contains  old  and  new 
pictures;  Museum  Meermanno  West- 
reenen,  in  the  Prinsengracht,  coins, 
books  &C.  The  Royal  Library  is 
very  interesting  to  book-lovers. 

On  the  'Plein*  and  close  to  the 
Vyverberg,  there  is  a  statue  of  Prince 
William  L 

Here,  too,  is  the  Ministry  of  Justice 
and  the  War  Office, 

At  Paviijoensgracht  is  to  be  seen 
the  house  where  Spinoza  lived  together 
with  a  statue  of  the  great  philosopher. 
In  the  Noordeinde  stands  the  Royal 
Palace,  From  here,  one  may  walk  to 
Willemspark  with  a  national  monu- 
ment, commemorating  the  restoration 
«f  Dutch  Liberty  (1813).    Proceeding 


further,  we  reach  the  "Bosch*',  a 
beautiful  wood  about  three  miles  in 
extent  and  the  pride  of  the  Hague.  Con- 
certs are  performed  here  in  summer  by 
the  Grenadier  Band.  Here,  too,  stands 
"het  huis  ten  Bosch"  —  made  doubly 
famous  by  the  **Peaco  Conference" 
of  1899.  It  is  a  palace  containing  many 
beautiful  and  interesting  objects. 

The  Zoological  Garden  is  also 
worth  a  visit. 

One  cannot  of  course,  leave  the 
Hague  without  paying  a  visit  to 

SCHEVENINGEN.

SCHEVENINGEN,  the  largest  water- 
ing-place in  Holland,  is  best  reached 
by  tram  from  the  Piein  at  the  Hague. 

The  route  lies  alongside  Scheve- 
ningen  Woods,  and  is  extremely 
beautiful;  and  it  is  to  this  proximity 
that  Scheveningen  owes  its  inception 
and  rapid  development 

Situated  on  the  hospitable  shores 
of  Holland,  within  easy  reach  of  a 
score  of  the  quaint  old-world  towns 
of  the  Netherlands,  Scheveningen  ranks 
amongst  the  elite  of  the  watenng-places 
of  the  globe.  Endowed  by  nature 
with  all  the  advantages  of  situation, 
bracing  air,  glorious  bathing  sands,  this 
favoured  daughter  of  the  sea  possesses, 
in  a  marked  degree,  all  those  factors 
which  are  the  essential  conditions  of 
a  pleasure  resort  de  luxe. 

One  cannot  fail  to  be  struck  by  its 
splendid  sea-front,  its  palatial  edifices, 
tier  upon  tier  of  terraces,  magnificent 
hotels,  imposing  pier,  and  miles  of 
silver  sands,  the  whole  combmmg 
with  its  season's  concourse  of  visitors 
from  all  parts  of  Europe,  to  form  a 
scene  of  gaiety  and  enjoyment  that  will 
not  be  readily  eliminated  from  the 
brain   of  the  most   unimpressionable.

Down  to  the  year  1815Schevefting6n 
was  a  mere  fishing-village.  From  that 
time  it  remained,  for  70  years,  the  resort 
of  wealthy  and  aristocratic  Dutch 
visitors.  But  in  1 885  the  Maatschappij 
Zeehad  Scheveningen  was  formed; 
and  this  company  has  succeeded  in 
bringing  the  town  into  the  first  rank 
of  international  watering-places. 

This  has  been  done  by  erecting  a 
Kurhaus  and  hotels  of  the  most  magni- 
ficent and  modern  character,  as  well 
as  by  making  use  of  the  immense 
natural  advantages  of  the  place. 

A  fine  promenade  fronts  the  sea  and 
the  wonderful  stretch  of  silver  sands. 
The  air  is  bracing  and  the  bathing 
both  invigorating  and  enjoyable. 

By  engaging,  every  season,  the  iamous 
Berlin  Philharmonic  Orchestra  with  its 
70  members  —  many  of  whom  enjoy 
a  world-wide  repute  —  the  directors 
of  the  ^Maatschappy*'  have  made 
Scheveningen  one  of  the  chief  musical 
centres  of  Europe. 

The  Kurhaus  in  which  the  perfor- 
mances are  held  also  boasts  a  magni- 
ficent ball  room,  billiard  and  reading 
rooms,  and  recreation  hall,  together 
with  a  large  restaurant,  affording  ac- 
commodation for  three  hundred  people. 
Opening  out  from  the  various  apart- 
ments is  a  spacious  and  well-appointed 
terrace,  with  band-stand  in  the  centre, 
and  in  direct  communication  with  the 
beautiful  Queen  Wilhelmine  Pier. 

Among  other  places  of  amusement 
are  the  Circus  Hall,  the  Kurhaus 
Bar,  a  miniature  Bohemia,  where  a 
choice  Italian  orchestra,  supported 
by  celebrated  vocalists,  provides  an 
informal  programme,  that  finds  much 
favour  with  the  visitors.  Other 
establishments  in  the  shape  of  fine 
coffee  and  tea  rooms  are  everywhere 
to  be  found. 

The  pier  also  boasts  a  splendid 
Music  Hall,  where  orchestral  perfor- 
mances are  held. 

The  problem  of  the  visitor  to 
Scheveningen,*  be  his  stay  ever  so 
lengthy  is  mU  what  to  4k^  but  wbaft

to  leave  undone.  Of  outdoor  pastimes 
almost  every  conceivable  form  of  sport 
and  recreation  may  be  indulged.  Lawn 
Tennis,  Golf,  Cycling,  and  Racing, 
are  all  available;  while  Scheveningen 
is  also  the  scene  of  an  International 
Automobile  week,  in  connection  with 
which  International  Motof  Boat  Races 
are  arrange!  These  festivities  are 
generally  timeo  to  take  place  in  July 
or  August.  Of  the  lighter  forms  of 
outdoor  amusement  may  be  mentioned 
the  floral  fStes,  firework  displays, 
and  children's  festivals.

on  60  small  ialanda  near  the  month  of 
the  so-called  Rhine,  though  this  is,  iii- 
reality,  but  a  small  arm  of  the  great 
river.  The  town  is  still  celebrated  for 
its  Unlrersity^  founded  in  1676  by  Prince 
William;  and  formerly  one  of  the  most 
famous  in  Earope.  At  the  present  day 
its  chief  faculties  are  those  of  medicine 
and  natural  philosophy;  while  its  library 
is  the  finest  in  Holland. 

Leyden  is  especially  interesting  to 
Americans,  as  the  Puritans  embarked 
here  for  America. 

There  is  a  Botanical  Qarden  not  far 
from  the  Bapenburg.  Moreover,  the 
Museums  are  numerous:  they  are:— 

TheMuseumpfAhtiquities,  in  Breede 
St,  the  Municipal  Museum,  Oude  Sin-

and  the  Japanese  Museum,  both  in 
the  Rapenburg.  The  Ethnographical 
Museum^  in  the  Hoogewoerd. 

The  Town HaU(l6^^ cent), in  Breede 
St,  has  a  fine  tower  and  an  inscription 
commemorating  the  siege  of  the  town 
by  the  Spaniards  (1575).  Opposite 
the  Town  Hall  is  Pieter's  Koor,  a 
street  by  which  one  reaches  the 
Church  of  St.  Peter  (1315). 

In  the  church  ofSLPancras,h\i\\i  in

AMSTERDAM,  the  commercial  capital 
of  Holland,  is  built  alongside  the*Y*,  an

Only  small  vessels.  The  large  ships  all 
lie  in  the  extensive  and  beautiful  road- 
stead before  the  town.  As  in  so  many 
Dutch  towns,  the  houses  are  built  on 
piles,  the  ground  being  too  weak  anc^ 
sandy  to  support  them  otherwise. 
The  Royal  Palace  is  said  to  stand 
on  14,000  piles.  In  1300,  Amsterdam 
was  merely  a  little  fishing -place.  It 
gradually  attracted  the  trade  from  all 
directions,  especially  from  other  cities 
of  the  Zuiderzee,  such  as  Hoorn,  Enk- 
huizen  and  Medemblik,  which  are  now 
called  dead  cities;  they  are,  neverthe- 
less, well  worth  making  a  day*s  trip 
to,  as  the  people  there  have  retained 
many  of  the  old  Dutch  customs,  and 
curious  dresses.  From  the  beginning 
of  the  17th  cent.,  Amsterdam  has  been 


one  of  the  greatest  commercial  cities  of 
Europe.  The  chief  interest  of  the  town 
lies  in  its  busy  streets  and  canals.  The 
Dam,  with  the  Palace  and  a  monument 
to  the  Dutch  soldiers  who  fell  in  1830, 
forms  the  central  point. 

The  Palace  is  occupied  by  the  Royal 
family  only  one  week  each  year ;  at 
other  times  it  is  open  to  the  public. 
It  contains  a  magnificent  ball-room 
with  white  marble  wnlls ;  and  the 
tower  affords  a  splendid  view  of  the 
town  and  environs. 

Amsterdam  has  about  54  churches 
and  chapels,  the  principal  of  which 
is  the  Nicuwe  Kerk  (15th  cent.),  with 
a  monument  to  Admiral  de  Ruyter; 
it  contains,  too,  an  enormous  carved 
pulpit.     The    building,    having    been 


8oe 


has  recently  beefi  restored. 

In  the  Onde  Kerk  {\4^  century), 
near  Warmoes  Si,,  are  some  a!d 
stained -glass  windows  and  several 
monuments.  The  Roman  CuihoUc 
Cathedral  and  the  Great  FoHuguesc 
Synagogue  are  both  worth  seeing. 

A  very  nice  spot  is  Vondel  Park, 
with  a  statue  of  the  greatest  Dutch  poet, 
Joost  van  den  Von  del,  from  whom 
Mjlton  js  thought  to  have  obtained 
certain  hints  for  his  Paradise  Lost. 

Near  Vondel  Park  is  Ihe  largest  mu- 
seum in  Holland^  called  Ryks  Museum.

In  Amsterdam  there  live  more  than 
35,000  Jews  in  their  own  special

Amsterdam  is  the  centre  of  the  diamond

The  ra^way  system  in  Ireland  it,  of 
coarse,  not  so  extensive;  bat,  in  the 
xnanaf HO  taring  districts,  there  is  a  large 
flumoant  of  traffic  dealt  with  by  the 
Qt.  Korthem  Bailway  (Ireland);  while, 
in  the  soath  western  districts,  which  form 
the  principal  touring  -  ground  of  the 
conntry,  the  Great  Sojaihem  L  Western 
B;ailway  (Ireland)  carries,  every  season, 
s  stream  of  travellers. 

In  connection  with  the  railways,  there 
haa  grown  up  in  England  a  highly 
developed  system  of  touring.  Some  of 
the  travelling  agencies  which  work  these 
tours  are  of  very  old  standin|^,  such  as 
Tbos.  Cook  &  Sons,  a  firm  enjoymg  world-

con  earns  of  Dean  &  Dawson,  Dr.  Lunn 
and  others. 

MONET.  The  English  currency  svstem

celled in  oumbrousness  only  by  the 
weights  and  measures.  The  standard  is 
the  pound  sterling  (£),  divided  into  20 
shillings,  and  the  shilling  equalling 
12  pence  (d).  An  American  dollar  ii 
equivalent  to  s.  4:2  d.

WILTON  HOTEL 

(opposite  Ry  Stations)         VICTORIA  S.W. 

Especially  convenient  for  Continental  Visitors  to  London, 
being  in  the  centre  of  the  West  End  and  near  all  the 
attractions.  Quiet  Well-appointed.  With  very  moderate 
terms.    German  and  French  spoken.    Tariff  on  application. 


Spring,  Neuenahr,  Germany,  increased 
from  8^000,000  in  1880  and  18,000,000  in 
1890,  to  over  80,000,000  bottles  in  1906. 


The  word  LONDON  is  one  of  som^ 
what  elastic  meaning.  It  may  be  applied 
either  to  the  old  city  of  to  what  is 
called  the  'town',  that  is,  the  more 
distinctly  business  districts;  or,  again, 
there  is  the  country  of  London,  which 
includes  the  inner  suburbs,  and  is 
almost  indentical  with  what  is  known 
as  Greater  London.  The  population 
of  the  city  during  the  day  approaches 
900,000,  during  the  night  it  barely 
reaches  30,000;  while  the  country  of 
London  contains  over  4^/^  million  in- 
habitants, and  Greater  London  (Metro- 
politan Police  District)  6,600,000.  But 
the  gigantic  London  of  the  present  day 


was  once  a  small  town  clustering 
about  the  northern  bank  of  the  Thames, 
at  the  spot  where  London  Bridge  was 
afterwards  built*  In  its  expansion,  this 
town  has  absorbed  the  more  aristocratic 
city  of  Westminster  and  some  85  villages 
on  both  sides  of  the  river.  This 
fact,  coupled  with  its  great  age  and 
the  undulating  character  of  the  district 
upon  which  it  has  grown  up,  has 
rendered  it  very  irregular  in  appear- 
ance. Crooked  roads,  narrow  streets, 
dirty  alleys  and  gloomy  slums  are,  in- 
deed, a  sad  characteristic  of  the  British 
metropolis;  and,  though  many  of  the 
last  have  been  swept  away  during 
recent  years,  the  irregularity  of  the 
city  itself  will,  doubless  remain  as 
long  as  London  lasts.  Here,  their 
tortuousness  is  extreme »    ivnd   their

The  finest  of  the  roads  is  that  running 
westwards  &  eastwards  and  beginning, 
in  the  one  direction,  as  The  Poultry, 
in  the  other  as  Cornhilh  The  former 
thoroughfare  stretches  away  under  the 
names  of  Cheapside,  Newgate  Street, 
Holborn,  Oxford  Street  and  Bays- 
water  Road  to  Shepherd's  Bush, 
where  it  divides  into  Goldhawk  Rd, 
(running  down  to  Chiswick  &  Kew), 
and  Uxhridge  Rd.,  stretching  away 
past  Ealing  and  Hanwell.  The  con- 
tinuation of  Cnrnhilt  eastwards  is  called 
Leadenhall  Street,  at  the  end  of  which 
Aldgaie  Pump  marks  the  spot  where 


one  of  the  old  gateways  of  the  city 
stood:  beyond  it  comes  Aldgate  High 
Street    and    notorious    Whitechapel, 
leading  to  Mile  End  and  Stratford- 
by-Bow,  Between  the  Mansion  House 
and  Aldgate,  a  loop    is    formed    by 
Lombard  St,  (so  named  from  thie  first 
bankers)  and  Fenchurch  St,  The  other 
streets   radiating   from    the    Mansion 
House   are    Princes   St.,    Walbrook, 
St.  Swithin's  Lane,  King  William  St. 
(running  down  to  London  Bridge),  and,

W.C,  81  Strand;  ::         :: 

E.C.,  77—78  Gracechurob  Street 


in  London,  connects  Charing  Cross 
with  Westminster  Abbey.  The  right 
side  of  this  handsome  street  is  occupied 
by  the  yitioua^'  Government  Offices 
in  the  middle  of  which  stands  the  cele- 
brated 'Horse  Guards'.  Behind  the 
buildings,  and  enclosed  by  the  Mall 
and  Birdcage  Walk,  lies  St,  James's 
Park,  at  the  end  of  which  rises  Bucking' 
ham  Palace  with  Green  Park  to  the 
north.  Between  the  last  and  the  palace 
gardens,  Constitution  Hill  runs  up 
to  the  Wtllingtou  Statue  and  Hyde 
Park  Corner.  Here  begins  'Rotten 
Row';  while  Piccadilly,  to  the  right,

I  (Academy)  tind  across  Piccadilly 
Circus  to  Coventry  St.,  Shaftesbury 
[^    APtnke,  HigfPWoJborn  and  ths  city.* 


THE  CITY  is  that  part  of  London 
once  enclosed  within  ramparts  and 
now  indicated  by  the  names  of  the 
streets  ending  in  'gate'.  Its  principal 
buildings  are  the  folio  wing,  namely: — 

Bank  of  England,  a  large  but 
low  and  somewhat  dingy  structure, 
dating  back  to  A.D.  1734:  the  vastness 
of  the  business  done  within  its  walls 
18  manifested  by  the  fact  that  the 
value  of  the  bullion  alone  is  over 
£  25,000,000.  The  surrounding  streets 
are  lilled  ivith  similar  establishments; 
while  opposite  is  the 

Royal  Exchange,  with  WieWelling' 
ton  Statue  in  front.  The  building  is 
a  handsome  one;  and  the  interior  is 
finely  decorated,  containing  works  by 
Gibson,  Macbeth,  Leighton,  Thorny- 
croft  &c. ;  many  of  these  are  in  Lloyd's 
Subscription  Rooms,  which  should 
not  be  missed. 


Hard  by  stands  the  Mansion  H&uu» 
the  official  residence  of  the  Lord 
Mayor:  it  waa  built  in  the  early  half 
of  the  18th  century  and  contains  the 
celebrated  Egyptian  Hall,  where  the 
banquets  are  held. 

OffCheapside  rises  the  G«i7^lw/I,1he 
seat  of  the  corporation:  it  is  a  pretty 
structure  in  Perpendicular  style  in  front 
of  which  gather  the  corporation  pigeons: 
besides  its  famous  figures  of  *Gog'  and 
^Magog',  it  contains  a  Free  Library  and 
a  Museum.  Close  by  is  Gresham  Coi^ 
lege;  while,  a  little  further  westwardSi 
at  the  corner  of  Cheapside,  is  the . 

General  Post  Office,  consisting  if 
three  buildings,  and  old  one  and  two 
new.  At  the  comer  of  Newgate  Sk 
,<^baad  OI<f  ii»f^>'  once  stodd'Jthe  famous  ^ 
Newgate  Prison,  now  replaced  1^ 
the  New  Sessions  Courts. 

The  Tower,  is,  historically,  the  most 
interesting  building  in  London,  or  in- 
deed, in  the  whole  of  England.  To  the 
east  of  it  stands  the  last  remnant  of  the 
OldRoman  Wall.  Tradition  sUtes  that 
a  fortress  was  erected  on  the  site  by 
Julius  Caesar;  but  the  present  structure, 
though  part  of  it  is  Saxon,  dates  in  the 
main,  from  the  days  of  William  the 
Conqueror.  The  scene  of  many  terrible 
tragedies,  it  is  now  a  valuable  armory. 
In  the  immediate  neighbourhood  is  the 
handsome  Tower  Bridge. 

The  Monument,  near  London  Bridge, 
was  raised  in  commemoration  of  the 
fire  of  London  (1666).  It  is  a  creation 
of  Sir  Christopher  Wren's.  Walpole 
tells  us  that  "The  architect's  intention 
was  to  erect  the  statue  of  Charles  U 
on  the  summit,  instead  of  that  silly  pot 
of  flames;  but  was  overruled,  as  he 
often  was,  by  very  inferior  Judgments".

Indeed,  had  his  designs  been  earried 
out,  the  British  metropolis  would  have 
become,  perhaps,  the  handsomest  city 
in  the  world.  Even  as  it  Is,  London  owes 
to  him  some  of  its  most  beautiful  edi- 
fices including  Greenwich  and  Chelsea 
Hospitals  and  his  greatest  creation, 
St,  Paul's  Cathedral,  the  finest  and 
most  famous  edifice  in  the  city  of 
London.  As  is  weJl*known,  it  is  a 
Renaissance  structure  on  similar  lines 
to  St.  Peter's  at  Rome.  The  beauty 
of  the  building  is  unquestionable,  its 
exterior,  though  spoiled  by  London 
smoke,  being  very  fine.  Unfortun- 
ately in  the  construction  of  the  hand- 
some dome,  the  architect  has  left  it 
hollow  by  giving  it  a  false  ceiling.  This 


however  is  decorated  with  paintln/cs 
hff  Sir  James  Thornhill.  The  dome 
forms  a  far-famed  Whispering  Gallery; 
while,  among  other  interesting  objects, 
the  Cathedral  contains  a  handsome 
marble  pulpit,  some  beautiful  carvings 
by  Grinling  Gibbons,  and  a  reredos 
which  has  given  rise  to  much  con- 
tention. Moreover  the  ceiling  of  the 
choir  and  apse  has,  within  recent  years, 
been  decorated  with  rich  mosaics  by 
Mr.  Richmond,  R,  A.  But  the  most  inter- 
esting contents  of  the  building  are  the 
tombs  of  Nelson,  Wellington,  Wren, 
John  Howard,  Dr.  Johnson,  and  those 
of  the  presidents  of  the  Royal  Academy, 
the  last  occupying  a  spot  which  has 
been  styled  *Painter'8  Corner*.

Among  other  city  churches,  the 
most  celebrated  are:— 

CrippUgate,  or  St.  Giles',  an  edifice 
founded  by  Alfunc  In  A.  D.  1090,  and 
rebuilt  in  1392.  It  is  celebrated  for  its 
connection  with  the  Great  Plague  in 
1665,  and  escaped  both  the  fire  of  1666 
and  that  of  1897,  the  latter  but  nar- 
rowly. Fox,  of  *Martyr*  fame,  Milton 
and  others  lie  buried  here. 

Temple  Church,  attached  to  the 
beautiful  historical  building  connected 
with  the  Knight  Templars  and  dating 
back  to  the  12*^  century. 

St  Dunstane's  Church,  Fleet  St, 
built  by  Shaw  (1831)  on  the  site  of 
that  which  escaped  the  flames  in  1666. 

SL  Mde's  Church,  Fleet  St,  an- 


other of  Wren's  creations,  with  an 
elegant  steeple. 

St,  Stephen's,  Walbrook  considered 
one  of  the  finest  of  Wren's  works, 
and,  indeed,  in  some  respects  superior 
to  the  Cathedral  of  which  it  was  the 
forerunner:  the  structure  contains 
some  most  graceful  carving. 

Bow  Church,Cheapside,  whose  fame 
is  a  curious  one:  the  building  contains 
a  sweet  peal  of  bells,  and  those  born 
within  the  sound  of  them,  are  regarded 
as  genuine  'Cockneys'. 

St,  Mildred's  Church,  another  fine 
production  of  Wren*s  genius.  Not 
far  from  the  building,  namely  at  the 
corner  of  Watling  St,  will  be  found 
the  following  inscription: — 

"Milton,  bom  in  Brsad  Street,  in 


1605,  baptised  in  All  Hullo w's  Church  [ 
which  stood  here,  ante   L87«", 

SL  Bcirtkci^mew's  Church,  Smilh- 
field  Market,  an  interesting  structure 
connected  with  the  weaJthieet  hospital 
in  London. 

WESTERN  DISTRICTS,  Con- 
tinumg  in  the  same  direclion  west- 
wards, we  cross  Holborn  Viaduct, 
above  Farringdon  St,i  to  Gray's  Inn 
Rd.,  where  one  of  the  old  Inns  of 
Court  is  situated.  In  the  same  neigh- 
bourhood are  Ho! born  Town  Hall, 
Fiirnival^s  Inn,  near  the  last  of  which 
Will  be  found  some  of  the  oldest 
houses  in  London. 

Finally,  there  is  the  Chapel  of 
Lincoln's  Inn,  an  edifice  in  Perpen- 
dicular style,  designed  by  Inigo  Jones 
and  completed  in  A*  D.  1623.  Hard  by 
\&  Lincoln's  Inn  Hall  with  frescoes  by 
Hogarth  and  Mr.  J.  F,  Watts;  while, 
In  the  same  neighbourhood,  are  the 
Royal  College  of  Surgeons  and  the 
fine  Soane  Museunu 

A  little  further  westwards,  in  Great 
RusseJ  St.,  stands  the  Briiish 
Museum,  one  of  the  principal  attrac- 
tions of  London.  Founded  in  1753 
from  collections  of  Sir  Hans  Busk's, 
it  has  grown  to  overwhelming  pro- 
portions, so  as  to  require  several 
days  even  to  obtain  a  general  survey 
of  it  The  most  striking  feature  is 
the  extensive  Library.  The  other 
interesting  roonrrs  and  collections  are 
the  Vestibule,  the  Lycian  Gallery,  the 
Reading  Rcjom,  the  Students'  Room, 
the  Newspaper  Room,  the  Roman 
Gallery,  G rase o- Roman  Saloons,  the 
Assyrian  Transept,  Egyptian  Galleries, 
Nimrod  Gallery,  the  Archaic  and  the 
Ephtjsus  Hooms,  the  Elgin  Room,  the 
Grenville  Library,  the  Manuscript 
Saloon,  the  Etruscan*  the  Bronze  and 
Vase  Rooms,  the  Terra  ^Cotta  Anti- 
quities, the  Medals,  Coins,  Gems  and 
CaEneos,  the  valuable  Portland  Vase, 
the  Prehistoric  Saloon,  the  Mediseval 
and  Anglo '  Roman  Antiquities^  the 
English  Pottery,  the  Glass  and  Ceramic 
CaLery,  the  Prints  ind  Drawings  &c. 


Close  to  the  N^useum  Is  Bedford 
Square  opening  out  of  Tottenham 
Court  Rd.,  the  latter,  a  f)ne  stroet, 
whose  continuation  northward*  i* 
Hamstead  Rd,  Between  these  two 
runs  Euston  Rd.  Opposite  the  southern 
end  of  Tottenham  Court  Rd,  begins 
Charing  Cross  Rd.,  leading  down  to 
the  West  End,  Here  are  situated 
the  finest  public  edlJiceSt  the  great 
club-houses  and  the  elegant  mansions 
of  the  aristocratic  and  wealthy* 

The  finest  of  these  is,  naturally, 
the  farfamed 

Weslminier  Abbey*  It  was  founded 
in  the  71^  century,  the  spot  being 
then  an  island.  The  building  was 
completed  tinder  Areh bishop  Dunstan, 
but,  having  been  destroyed  by  tbe 
Danes,  was  re  -  erected  by  Edward 
the  Confessor,  From  that  day  to 
this^  it  has  seen  the  coronation  of 
the  English  sovereigns,  many  of  whom 
he  buried  in  it.  But  not  these  alone^  — 
a  host  of  warhorSj  statesmen,  poets 
and  artists  rest  beneath  its  stones. 
Statues  of  many  of  them  fill  the 
edifice,  disturbing  indeed  the  awe- 
inspiring  beauty  of  its  elegant  interior^ 
but  enhancing  the  historic  interest  of 
the  place.  The  building  consists  of  a 
nave  flanked  with  aisles,  and  of  a 
transept  with  fine  choir;  beyond  which 
is  the  Ambulatory  with  Edward  the 
Confessor^s  Chapel  and  ending  in 
Henry  Vll  chapel;  while  several  others, 
dedicated  to  SL  John,  St  Paol  &c. 
surround  it.  In  the  southern  n-ansept 
is  Poet's  Corner,  so-called  from  its 
containing  the  remains  of  many 
authors  marked  by  their  busts;  ad- 
jacent are  ihe  Chapter  House  and 
two  chapels,  between  which  and 
the  Deanery  lie  the  cloisters,  border- 
ing the  southern  aisle.  In 
part  of  the  edifice,  a  few  portii 
of  Eilward^s  building  may  stir 
recognised. 

This  king's  structure  was  perhaps 
first  Norman  edifice  in  England* 
remainder  of  the  present  abbey  d, 
from  A.  D.  1340;  while  the  magnificent 


890 


chapel  added  by  Henry  VII  Jn  1512 
completed  the  place  in  its  present 
.form;  though  in  1895,  on  the  removal 
of  old  houses  to  the  south-east,  the 
full  grandeur  of  the  ancient  structure 
was  revealed.  The  handsomest  part 
ot  the  exterior  is  the  west  front, 
with  its  tall  and  stately  towers:  the 
richest  front  is  unquestionably  the 
eastern,  embellished  with  exquisite 
tracery.  Close  by  are  Westminster 
School  and  Westminster  Hall,  the  latter 
being  the  old  parliament  house  and  the 
greatest  monument  of  English  liberty. 

Between  the  Abbey  and  the  river 
rises  the  modern  Parliament  House 
in  which  the  two  legislative  assemblies 
meet  This  structure  is  considered  by 
many  the  most  beautiful  in  England, 
and,  in  spite  of  some  faults,  its  grand 
proportions  and  finely-fretted  orna- 
mentation produce  a  most  imposing 
effect.  The  interioi"  is  exceedingly 
beautiful  and  interesting:  the  House 
of  Lords  is  most  sumptuously  de- 
corated; while  that  of  the  Commons 
is  /somewhat  simpler. 

Buckingham  Palace  is  a  large 
edifice,  once  the  mansion  of  the  Duke 
from  whom  it  obtained  its  name.  The 
present  structure  was,  however,  built 
in  1825  by  the  architect  Nash  for 
George  IV.  It  is  a  handsome  building, 
which,  from  the  time  of  its  erection, 
has  been  the  London  residence  of 
the  English  sovereigns.  It  contains 
a  grand  staircase  of  white  marble, 
the  Green  Drawing  Room,  Ball  Room, 
Throne  Room,  Picture  Gallery  &c. 
Between  Buckingham  Palace  Rd.  and 
Westminster  Abbey  runs  Victoria  St., 
one  of  the  finest  in  London  and  con- 
taining fine  Hotels,  Banks  and  Shops; 
also  the  Offices  of  Colonial  Govern* 
ments,  great  Public  Companies  &c. 
Southwards,  between  Regency  St.  and 
the  river,  is  Tate  Gallery  or  the 

National  Gallery  of  British  Art 
It  Ib  the  creation  of  the  late  St.  Henry 
Tate,  and  is  a  fine  building  containing, 
among  other  works,  specimens  of 
Wilkie,  Undseor,   Constable,  Watts, 


eai 


Millais,  Leighton,  Poynter,  Thorny  croft 
and  other  great  English  painters. 

The  National  Gallery  is  situated 
on  Trafalgar  Square  behind  the  beau- 
tiful Nelson  Column  and  Landseer*8 
wonderful  'Lions'.  The  building  is 
dingy,  old  and  badly  lighted,  and, 
indeed,  shows  the  neglect  manifested 
by  English  governments  in  art  matters. 
The  pity  of  it  is  accentuated  by  the  fact 
that  the  collections  will  bear  comparison 
with  those  of  the  Louvre,  the  Dutch 
Galleries  and  the  Dresden  and  Munich 
collections.  The  pictures  are  arranged 
in  schools,  with  specimens  of  all  great 
painters  from  the  days  of  the  early 
Italian  masters  to  the  present  time. 

Adjoining  the  edifice  is  the 

National  Portrait  Gallery,  con- 
taining, as  its  name  implies,  a  col- 
lection of  likenesses  of  great  Britons. 
It  is  unique  of  its  kind,  and  intensely 
interesting. 

Between  Trafalgar  Square  and 
Buckingham  Palace  runs  the  Mall, 
in  which  are  situated  Marlborough 
House,  built  by  Wren  in  1707:  it  was 
for  many  years  the  residence  of  the 
present  King  and  Queen  as  Prince 
and  Princess  of  Wales.  To  one 
side  of  it  rises  St,  James*  Palace,  — 
to  the  other  Carlton  House;  while, 
behind  it,  is  the  War  Office. 

Crossing  Green  Park,  we  enter 
Hyde  Park,  the  most  famous  in 
London:  it  is  beautifully  planted  and 
contains  a  pretty  sheet  of  water  called 
the  Serpentine,  used  in  summer  for 
boating  and  bathing,  —  in  winter  for 
skating.  The  Park  is  the  rendezvous 
of  all  glasses:  during  the  season,  its 
'Rotten  Row',  and  Lady's  Mile'  are 
the  resort  of  royalty,  aristocracy  and 
the  fashionable  world;  while,  on 
Sunday  afternoons,  it  is  made  use 
of  by  popular  orators  of  all  kinds, 
grades  and  sects,  the  crowds  col- 
lected round  them  forming  a  most 
motley  gathering.  Adjoining  the  park, 
to  the  west,  are  Kensington  Gardens, 
a  beautiful  spot  planted  with  delight- 
ful   avenues    and    blazing    beds    of 


On  its  toufhern  tidt  stands 
the  handsome  ^/^«r/  Mimoriai,  160  ft 
high  and  richly  embellished.  Across 
the  road  rises  the  Xoyal  Albert  Hath 
which  four  years  after  the  death 
of  the  Prince  Consort,  gave  embodi- 
ment to  an  idea  expressed  by  him 
at  the  exhibition  of  1861.  It  is 
a  circular  building;  with  a  mighty 
organ,  and  is  principally  deToted  to 
musical  performances. 

Behind  it,  in  immediate  succession 
opon  one  another,  stand  the  Royal 
Cdlegg  of  Music,  the  Imperiai  In- 
9MuU,  the  Scietice  Oalleries  and  the 
Natural  History  Museum. 

The  first  of  these  was  erected  by 
Mr.  Samson  Fox,  and  opened  in  1S94 
by  the  Prince  of  Wales.  The  second 
is  a  creation  of  the  present  King, 
whose  intention  was  to  commemorate 
the  jubilee  of  Queen  Victoria's  reign 
by  giving  to  the  Empire  a  building 
hi  which  the  exhibition  of  colonial 
products  ftc,  should  help  to  unite 
its  various  members.  The  Natural 
History  Museum  (South  Kensington) 
was  originally  but  an  extension  of  the 
British  Museum.  The  structure,  com- 
posed mainly  of  terra-cotta,  was  de- 
signed by  Mr.  Waterhouse:  it  is  Ro- 
manesque in  style,  and  is  embellished 
with  exquisitely  executed  figures  of 
animals:  it  is  also  adorned  with  statues 
«df  Sir  Richard  Owen  and  Charles  Darwin. 
The  collections  are  very  extensive 
and  most  admirably  arranged. 

To  the  right  of  this  last  edifice 
rises  the  South  Kensington  Museum, 
another  subdivision  of  the  overgrown 
British  Museum*  It  is  Renaissance 
in  style,  and  contains  the^  following 
^llections,  namely: —  the  Science  and 
Education  Libraiy,  the  Picture  Gallery, 
the  Art  Library,  the  National  Art 
Fraining  School,  the  Royal  College 
of  Science,  the  Indian  Section  and 
Science  Collection. 

The  western  end  of  Kensington 
Gardens  is  occupied  by  Kensingion 
Palace,  in  which  Queen  Victoria  was 
bora  aad  whither  the  news  of  her  ao- 


eession  was  brought  to  her.   Not  for 

from  it  is  the  handsome  new  Kensing' 
ton  Church,  a  Gothie  edifice  designed 
by  Sir  Gilbert  Scott.  Half  a  nule 
beyond  is  Holland  House,  erected 
in  A.  D.  1607.  It  has  been  occupied 
by  Lord  Holland,  General  Fairfax, 
Addison,  Pox  and  other  celebrities. 
To  the  south  is  Barl's  Court,  when 
the  exhibitions,  which  Iiave  now  b«* 
come  annual,  take  place,  and  whera 
the  Great  Wheel  from  Chicago  has 
been  put  up.

and  from  the  6^^  cent.*  the  feat  of  an 
archbishop,  ia  beautifully  aituated  on 
thd  river  Stoar,  which  fiowa  through 
the  town. 

The  visitor  invariably  directs  his 
steps  to  the  Cathedral.  This  noble 
edifice  exemplifies  the  architecture  of  4 
centuries  (1070-1496).  After  the  Con- 
quest, the  Cathedral  and  monastery 
were  rebuilt  by  iUiii/r/WKr(  1070- 1089), 
the  first  Norman  archbishop.  His  suc- 
cessors Anselm,  Emulph  and  Conrad, 
finished  it  (1130).  The  choir  was 
executed  with  sueh  magnificence  that 
it  was  called  **the  glorious  choir  of 
Conrad".  In  1174,  it  was  burnt 
down  and,  together  with  the  C. 
buildings,  was  re- erected  by  William 
of  Sens  (1174-84). 

It  was  in  this*  church,  in  the  N.W. 
transept  or  '^Transept  o!  Martyrdom", 
that  Thomas  k  Becket,  the  arch- 
bishop, was  murdered  Dec.  29,  1170. 
A  square  in  one  of.  the  flag -stones 
still  marks  the  spot  where  he  fell. 
His  body  was  watched  by  the  monks 
the  following  night,  in  "the  glorious 
choir  of  Conrad*'. 

The  old  nave  was  rebuilt  (1380 
to  143 1)  in  Perpendicular  style,  and 
is  one  of  the  finest  of  its  kind.  All 
its  windows  are  new  except  the  W., 
which  is  made  of  old  jneces  of 
glass  fitted  together. 

A  flight  of  etepi  leads  np  to  the  hand-

■among  tho  best  in  Englnnd,  and  iti 
elaborate  ■arrounding  liereev*  It  is 
adorned  with  six  itataes  of  English 
Kings.  On  the  W.  side  is  a  painting  of 
'•The  Harder  of  Beeket'%  "by  Cross. 

At  the  B.  end  of  the  Ohnir,  we  descend 
a  flight  of  steps  to  Trinity  Chapel:  be- 
hind it  is  the  Goroaa.  Here  stands 
Thomas  &  Beoket^s  shrine:  the  windows 
in  the  obapel  represent  his  miraoles. 

In  tbe  beautiful  Corona,  is  the 
Patriarchal  Chair  of  stone,  in  which 
the  archbishops  are  installed. 

SL  Anselm's  Tower  and  Chapel, 
Si  Michaets  Chapel,  the  Norman 
Crypt  or  Undercroft  and  the  Precincts 
are  well  worth  inspection. 

The  N<W.  tower  is  modem,  the 
great  central  tower,  "Bell  Harry**, 
235  ft.  high,  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  examples  of  Perpendicular 
Gothic  extant. 

The  next  object  of  interest  is  the 
little  old  St,  Martin's  Church,  styled 
the  "mother  church  of  England", 
which,  in  the  time  of  the  Saxons, 
was  a  British  Christian  Chapel  and 
was  afterwards  made  over  to  Augustine 
by  ^thclberht,  King  of  Kent  (A.  D. 
597).  Portions  of  the  walls  appear 
to  be  Roman  bHck-work. 

Tbe  view  of  the  town  from  behind 
the  church  is  good. 

The  Monastery  of  St.  Augustine, 
now  called  St,  Augustine*s  College, 
was  founded  by  Augustine,  and  be- 
came one  of  the  chjef  Benedictine 
monasteries  of  Europe.  Afterwards 
a  palace  of  Henry  VIII.,  it  was  sub- 
sequently converted  into  a  brewery. 
In  1844,  it  was  purchased  by  the 
Rt.  Hon.  A.  G.  Beresford  Hope,  M.  P., 
who  rebuilt  it  as  a  stately  college. 
The  great  Library  is  worth  in- 
spection. 

Other  objects  of  interest  are  the 
Castle,  the  Dominicans  or  Black 
Friars,  the  Museum,  the  Guildhall 
and  the  Church  of  the  Holy  Cross.

two  promenades  and  a  carriage-drive 
ranged  one  above  the  other.  The 
town  is  well-planted  with  trees,  and 
contains  a  pretty  park  named  after  the 
Duke  of  Devonshire,  who  is  the  chief 
landowner  in  the  district  and  has  a 
residence  hefe  called  Compton  Place. 

Its  mild  climate  has  rendered  it  a

BRIGHTON,  the  most  fashionable 
of  the  English  watering-places,  has, 
with  the  adjoining  borough  of 
Hove,  a  permanent  population  of 
about  161,000.  It  is  situated  on 
the  slopes  of  the  encircling  downs 
of  the  South  Coast,  and,  during 
the  winter  season,  has  no  fewer 
than  50,000  visitors;  while,  on  bank- 
holidays  and  during  the  week-end 
trips,  it  IS  often  over- crowded,  the 
number  of  guests  reaching  100,00a 
It  was  quite  unknown  as  a  watering- 
place  until  1753,  when  a  famous 
London  doctor  recommended  it  It 
was  visited  in  1782  by  George  IV., 
and  from  that  time  onwards  has  re- 
mained a  popular  resort 

The  town's  chief  attraction  is 
its  magnificent  seafront  (over  four 
miles  long).  The  Marine  Parade 
extends  from  Old  Sieinc  (which, 
m  the  days  of  the  Regency,  was 
the  fashionable  part  of  Brighton), 
to  Kemp  Town,  the  difif  protected 
from  the  sea  by  a  strong  wall. 
At  the  comer  of  Marine  Parade 
is  the  splendid  Aquarium,  the  most 
complete  in  the  world.  The  West 
Pier,  1,115  feet  long,  is  the  most 
popular  promenade  (morning  and 
evening  music). 

The  Royal  Pavilion,  occupied  by 
George  IV.  and  afterwards  visited 
by  Queen  Adelaide  and  her  late 
Majesty  Queen  Victoria,  was  bought 
by  the  town  in  1850  and,  from 
that  time  has  been  used  for  public 
balls,  concerts  ftc.  The  Royal 
Stables  are  beneath  the  building. 
The  dome  was  converted,  in  1867, 
into  an  Assembly  Room;  and  the 
stables  and  offices  (built  by  Queen 
Adelaide)  have  been  fitted  up  to 
receive  the  Free  Library,  Museum 
and  Picture  Gallery  &c.  The  fine 
Goodwood  Race-course,  with  its  ele- 


gtaii  grand-stand,  is  on  the  Downs 

east  of  the  town  and  is  one  of  the 

most    celebrated    in    England.      The 

most  ancient  and  interesting  church 

is  that  of  St,  Nicholas.

which  occurs  daily  on  the  Grand

COWES,  usually  a  tranquil  but 
pleasant  town,  becomes,  during  the 
month  of  August,  the  gayest  of  the 
gay.    The  roadstead  is  covered  with 


steamers,  such  as:-  from  p5t^out]?[  I  hundreds  of  yachts  and  everything  is 

Southampton  and  Lymington.  The  only  I  given  up  to  their  claims. 

means  of  fuUy  appreciating  the  beautiful        The    headquarters    of    the    Royal 


coast-scenery  is  by  taking  a  steamer- 
trip  round  the  island.  The  ezoursion  is  In 
every  way  attractive,  boats  running,  in 
summer,  two  or  three  times  a-week. 
On  the  way,  a  splendid  view  is  obtained 
of  the  Needles,  five  rocks,  three  of  which 
rise  oat  of  the  water  m  the  form  of 
splendid  white  peaks,  while  two  are 
seen  beneath  the  surface.  Owing  to  its 
sheltered  position,  the  climate  of  the 
island  is  exceedingly  mild  and  equable, 
so  that  it  is,  even  in  winter;  a  favourite 
residence  for  invalids.  In  summer  it  is 
crowded  by  tourists,  frequently  making 
it  difficult  to  obtain  lodgings. 

The  island  has  roughly  the  form  of 
a  diamond  laid  lengthwise  at  the  mouth 
of  the  broad  estuary  of  Southampton 
and  separated  from  the  mainland  by 
the  Solent  and  Spithead.  The  most 
direct  route  from  London  is  via  Ports- 
mouth or  Stokes  Bay  to  Byde.  At  the 
northern  point  of  the  island  stands 
Cowes  at .  the  mouth  of  an  estuary 
which  runs  inland  for  a  distance  of 
5  miles,  i  e.  two-thirds  the  breadth  of 
the  whole  island.  The  shore  of  this 
inlet  is  traversed  by  a  railway.  At  its 
head  lies  Newport  Junction,  whence 
lines  branch  to  the  south,  the  east  and 


Yacht  Squadron  are  at  Cowes  Castle, 
— -  an  extremely  pretty  ivy- covered 
building  which  has  grown  out  of  a  fort 
erected  by  Henry  VIII.  Just  behind  it 
is  the  interesting  old  church  and  the 
Convent  of  the  Benedictine  Nuns. 

Osborne  House,  the  favourite  re- 
sidence of  the  late  Queen  Victoria, 
was  presented  to  the  nation  by 
King  Edward  VII.  Part  of  the  building 
is  reserved  as  a  Convalescent  Home 
for  Officers  of  the  Army  and  Navy. 
The  house  and  grounds  are  open  to 
the  public  on  Tuesdays  and  Fridays. 
In  the  grounds  a  Royal  Naval  Col- 
lege has  been  erected  with  accommo- 
dation for  about  500  cadets. 

The  Chnreta  of  Whippinghsm,  where 
Princess  Beatrice  was  married,  owes 
much  of  its  beauty  to  the  care  of  the 
late  Queen  and  the  Prince  Consort  The

of  a  broad  and  long  estnary  into  wbioh 
tbe  Medina  ponrs  ita  watera.  Lying  aa 
it  does  in  almost  the  centre  of  the 
islandf  it  forms  the  principal  junction 
with  the  railways  mnning  to  West 
Co  wea,  Byde,  Brading,  Sandown»Ventnor, 
Yarmoatn  and  Freshwater,  -^  the  chief 
coast  towns  of  tbe  island. 

The  principal  aighta  In  the  town 
.  itself  ar^:— 

The  Church  of  SL  Thomas,  with  a 
beautifully  carved  oak  pulpit  (1636) 
and  a  monument,  erected  by  the  late 
Queen  Victoria,  to  Princess  Elisabeth, 
daughter  of  Charles  I. 

Beneath  the  pulpit  is  the  tomb  of 
Charles  L  The  Museum  at  the  corner  of 
Lugley  and  St.  James'  Streets,  contains  a 
collection  of  antiquities  &  geological  ob- 
jects. Several  walks  &  short  excursions 
may  be  made  in  the  neighbourhood. 

A  mile  and  a  half  to  tbe  8.W.  lies 
Garisbrookey  where,  on  the  top  of  a  hill, 
stands  the  castle,  a  rnin  of  pictaresqne 
beauty.  It  has  a  fine  gateway,  erected 
by  Anthony  WoodviUe,  brother-in-law 
of  Edward  IV.  The  room  where  Princess 
Elisabeth  died  is  now  the  GK>vernor*s 
quarters.  Of  great  interest  is  the  Castle 
Welly  240  ft.  deep:  a  donkey  treads  the 
wooden  wheel  to  draw  the  water.  Hard 
by  is  the  Tilt-yard  where  King  Charles 
and  his  children  played  bowls.  Near 
the  Oastle  ia  the  Church,  containing 
interesting  monuments.  From  this 
church,  finger-posts  point  the  way  to 
the  Boman  Villa. 

About  four  miles  farther  lies  the 
village  of  Shalfleet  possessing  a  Norman 
church  and  remarkable  for  its  neigh- 
bouring fossil-beds.  Two  miles  further 
we  pass  Ningwood  and,  in  a  few  minutes, 
run  into  tbe  station  at 

TABMOVTH  (HOTELS  t  The  George ; 
Bngle;  Kingshead),  whose  situation  is 
both  extremely  pleasant  and  very  suitr 
able  for  holiday-makers ;  as  the  town  lies 
a  short  distance  from  tbe  station  on  the 
silt  of  the  broad  estuary  of  the  Yar 
and  has  steamer  communication  with 
Lymington  (see  route  104),  Cowes  &c. 
Th^ place  possesses  a  pier,  the  climate  is 
salubrious,  and  the  bathing  excellent. 


There  is  also  good  boating;  and  the 
opportunity  for  excursions  is  ample. 

From  Yarmouth,  the  railway  runs  up 
the  estuary  of  the  Yar  to  Freshwater, 
which  forms  the  terminus  and  ia  the 
centre  giving  aooess  to  Totland  Bay, 
Alum  Bay  and 

^  FRESHWATER  OATE  (HOTEIiS: 
Albion;  Freshwater  Bay;  Teaperanoe)* 
a  small  but  rising  resort,  which  receives 
its  name  from  its  position  in  a  cleft  of 
the  rocks  opposite  the  celebrated  Fresh- 
water Bay,  Here  was  Tennyson's  place. 

From  Freshwater,  one  may  prooeed 
on  foot  to  Alum  Bay  (see  below),  a  qniet 
watering-place  which,  in  fine  weather, 
it  is  well  to  visit  from  Freshwater  Ghikte 
by  boat,  the  coast  scenery  being  of 
an  extremely  beautiful  and  interesting 
character.  The  cliffs  between  the  two' 
places  rise  to  a  height  of  .495  ft.,  and 
consist  of  chalk  with  the  characteriatie 
lines  of  flints.  The  finest  parts  are  the 
Main  Bench  and  Serateheirs  Bay,  the 
latter  being  a  most  lovely  spot  situated 
a  few  minutes  from  the  extreme  westerly 
headland  of  the  Isle.  Here,  the  denu- 
dation so  noticeable  on  the  south  coast 
of  England  has  left  three  remarkable 
peaks  of  chalk  rising  like  white  sentinels 
to  a  height  of  100  ft.  above  the  surface 
of  the  azure  sea.  These  famous  Tooks 
bear  the  appropriate  title  of  the  Ne^dlesy 
a  name  familiar  to  every  English  ear. 
(See  also  introduction  to  Isle  of  Wight.) 

Sailing  round  them  to  the  right  we 
enter 

AliUBI  BAT  (HOTELS:  Boyal  Needles; 
▲Inm  Bay),  which,  as  its  name  implies, 
is  a  district  rich  in  alum.  The  celebrity  , 
of  the  place  depends  upon  the  beautiful 
and  curiously-striped  sands  of  yellow, 
red,  grey  and  green,  thrown,  by  the 
white  chalk,  into  striking  relief. 

The  place  possesses  a  pier  and 
the  view  of  the  Needles  is  exceedingly 
fine:  even  at  night  they  are  rendered 
visible  by  the  lighthouse  built  on  the 
outer-most  peak.

portions  of  the  later  Norman  structure 
are  still  recognisable.  The  building  was, 
however,  remodelled  in  the  14th  and  16*^ 
centuries,  and  forms  an  excellent  spe- 
cimen of  late-Gothic.  The  nave  (266  feet)

fluence  of  the  Upper  ▲▼on,  the  Boan» 
and  the  Wiley.  , ,     , .  ^ 

It  is  a  place  of  oonsiderable  histo- 
rical interest,  and  contains  several  quaint 
and  beautiful  buildings. 

The  Cathedral,  (ounded  by  Bishop 
Poore  in  1220.  ia  in  pure  Gothic  style 
of  the  first  simple  period,  knownalsoas 
the  early-English.  It  possesses  a  spire 
which  is  justly  considered  one  of  the 
finest  efforts  of  Ogival  architecture. 
Seen  from  a  mile  distant  along  the 
Southampton  Road,  the  structure  pro- 
duces a  most  imposing  effect,  the  ele- 
gant proportions  being  then  fully  ap- 
preciable. The  interior  of  the  nave 
appears  to  best  advantage  when  viewed 
from  the  western  end.  The  choir, 
cloister  and  chapter-house  all  deserve  a 
visit  The  first  is  richer  in  tone  than  the 
rest  of  the  building;  while  the  cloisters, 
belonging  to  a  later  period,  are  also  less 
severe  in  style.  In  the  chapter-house, 
there  is  a  porch  of  exceptional  beauty 
and  arcade  surmounted  by  statues. 

Adjoining  the  cathedalis  the  Episcopal 
Palace,  remarkable  for  its  gate -way. 
Among  the  other  buildings  of  the 
city,  the  following  are  the  most 
noteworthy:—    . 

St.  Nicholas'  Hospital,  of  Uke  date 
with  the  cathedral; 

West  Harnham  Church  also  early- 
English,  but  with  Norman  door; 

The  Council  House,  an  18th  cent 
structure  at  the  S.  E.  comer  of  the 
Market  Place; 

The  Halle  of  John  Halle  (15*h 
century),  bordering  the  canal; 

The  Blackmore  and  the  Salisbury 
and  South  Wilts  Museums, 

EXCURSIONS  t  The  most  celebrated 
is  via  Old  Ssrum  to  Stoaeheage. 

Old  Sarum  was  once  an  important 
city,  which,  after  the  transfer  of  the 
see  to  Salisbury,  became  neglected,  and 
decayed  into  the  mound  whioh  now 
marks  its  site.  Down  to  the  19^^  cent, 
it  continued  to  send  two  members  to 
parliament,  and  was  one  of  the  notori- 
ous rotten  boroughs  swept  away  by 
parliamentary  reform. 

At  Stonehenge  are  the  soanty  bat  ek- 
tremely  interesting  ruins  of  an  ancient 
plaoe  of  worship,  possibly  of  earlier 
date  thaa  the  British  draids.  Oria^ally.

composed  of  abont  7  trilithons;  while

resortB  in  the  S.W.  of  England,  tt  is  an 
extremely  healthy  place,  the  death-rate 
scarcely  exceeding  11  per  thousand.  The 
.  sheltered  situation  in  the  pine-clad  valley 
of  the  Bourne  renders  it  a  favourite  spot 
for  persons  needing  a  mild  climate. 

The  town  is  most  admirftbly 
managed:  the  municipal  authorities 
have  provided  it  with  a  perfect 
system  of  sanitation  and  spared 
neither  pains  nor  expense  to  make 
it  one  of  the  most  attractive  resorts 
in  the  country,  by  laying  out  gardens 
and  obtaining  the  services  of  Mr.  Dan 
Godfrey,  Jun.,  as  conductor  of  the 
orchestra.  The  pier,  too,  nearly 
1,000  ft.  in  length,  is  one  of  the 
finest  on  the  coast:  it  forms  an 
excellent  promenade,  where  a  fine 
band  plays  at  frequent  and  stated 
times.  From  here  a  good  view  is 
obtained  of  the  Public  Pleasure 
Gardens  —  2  miles  long,  filled  with 
rhododendrons  and  stretching  between 
the  two  cliffs  with  the  river  winding 
thread-like  through  it. 

Other  places  of  interest  are: — 

The  Invalid's  Walk,  an  avenue  of 
pines    on    the  E.  side  of  the  brook. 

The  Bournetnouih  Club  House  to

BaTH  was  once  the  most  favourite 
health-resort  in  Europe,  and  has  of 
late  years  regained  much  of  its  former 
celetarity. 

The  famous  position  which  the  city 
attained   as  the  resort  of  fashion  in 
the     18tli   century    is    well    known; 
though  the  methods  of  administering 
the    waters    were    then    only    of    a 
primitive  character,  affording  a  strik- 
ing   contrast   to    the    luxurious    and 
comfortable    provisions    for    bathers 
in    the    present    dsLy.     The    modern 
bathing    establishments    at   Bath  are 
now  second    to   none   in   the  world 
for  luxury  and  scientific  completeness. 
The  value  of  the  springs  for  medi- 
cinal purposes  is  enhanced  by  the  pre- 
sence  of  several  recently  discovered 
gases  —  notably  argon  and  helion; 
while    the    waters    throw   a   deposit 
covered    with    iron     and    containing 
traces    of    lithium    on    the    drinking 
glasses. 
!       Among  the  sights  of  Bath  are  the 
Abbey.,  the  famous  Assembly  Rooms 
immortalised  by  Sheridan  and  Dickens, 
and  the  historic  squares  and  crescents 
which    impart   to  the  city  so  much 
architectural  dignity. 

Bath  is  likewise  famous  for  its

BRISTOL  was  once  the  second 
port  of  England,  and  is  still  one  of 


its  leading  cities.  It  lies  at  the  con- 
fluence of  the  Avon  and  the  Frome, 
some  7  miles  from  the  Bristol  Channel. 
The  rivers  are,  however,  somewhat 
shallow;  and  docks  have  consequent- 
ly been  constructed  at  the  mouth  of 
the  Avon  for  the  accommodation  of 
large  vessels. 

Between  the  two  streams  lies  the 
business  part  of  the  town,  with  the 
Guildhall,  Exchange  8cc. 

The  other    edifices    of  note  are:— 

The  Cathedral,  a  building  founded 
in  the  early  part  of  the  12th  cent, 
and  exemplifying  the  Norman  style 
and  the  three  periods  of  Gothic.  It 
contains  some  splendid  stained-glass 
and  numerous  fine  statues. 

St.  Mary's  Redcliff  is  an  exceed- 
ingly beautiful  specimen  of  late-Gothic 
of  unsurpassed  elegance:  it  has,  here 
and  there,  a  remnant  of  the  early- 
Gothic  and  the  Decorated  period. 

There  are  also  in  the  city,  a  Museum, 
a  Library,  a  School  of  Art  Sec, 

On  the  hills  above  the  town  is  the 
beautiful  suburb  of 

Clifton  (Hotela;  see  Bristol),  a 
charming  health-resort  with  a  fine 
climate  &  possessing  snlpharous  springs 
whioh,  Uke  those  of  Bath,  were  much 
neglected  for  a  long  time,  bat  are  now 
coming  again  into  voKue.  The  situation 
of  Clifton  is  snperb.  From  its  celebrated 
SnspensiOB  Bridge,  one  obtains  a  magni- 
ficent view  of  the  deep  ravine  throneh 
which  the  Avon  flows.  In  the  neigh- 
bourhood are  Nightingale  Valley  and 
the  beautiful  Leigh  Woods.

cimens of  late-Gothic  in  the  country. 
Several  other  churches,  as  well  as

commanding  a  beautiful  view  across 
the  Bristol  Channel  to  the  Welsh 
mountains. 

HIBTCHEAD  (HOTBLSs  Metropole;

on  the  coast  of  the  Bristol  Channel 
and  much  resorted  to  as  a  centre  for

IliFRAOOSfBE  (POP.:  8,600. — 
HOTELS:  IITraeombe;  Boyal  Clsrenee;

celebrated  watering-places  in  England. 
It  occupies  a  magnificent  situation 
on  the  N.  coast  of  Devon,  behind  a 
small  peninsula  called  Capstone  Hill. 
From  this  a  fine  view  is  obtained  of 
the  town,  which  rises  picturesquely 
up  the  cliffs  and  presents,  when 
lights  have  been  lit,  in.  the  evening, 
a  most  fairylike  appearance.  The 
district  abounds  in  lovely  scenery, 
the  most  celebrated  excursions  being 
to  Lundy  Island,  Combe  Martin  and, 
by  boat,  to 

liTNMOIJTH  (HOTELS:  Bath;  Lyn-

'Westward  Ho*.  Its  bridge,  oonsisting  of 
34  arohes,  dates  from  the  UtH  cent.  In 
the  neighbourhood  is  a  rapidly  erowing 
WRtering-plaoe,  named  WBSTYTABD  HO

Another  and  perhaps  the  most  fa-

where  he  wrote  the  'three  Fishers*  &c. 
It  is  a  very  quaint  and  picturesque 
place  perched  high  up  on  the  face 
of  the  Cliff,  which  is  thickly  wooded 
and  carpeted  with  ferns,  the  ap- 
proach being  exceedingly  beautiful. 
So  steep  is  the  main  street  of  the 
place  that  it  is  here  and  there  cut  into 
steps;  and  the  only  means  of  trans- 
port is  the  ass  or  the  mule.

as    Archdeacon    Freeman    says,    is 
arranged  in  pairs;   while  the  elegant,

TOBQUAYis  a  sea-side  resort  rival  led 
in  Great  Britain,  only  by  Brighton  and 
Soarb^rouKh,  and  claiming,  indeed,  to 
i    be  the  Qneen  of  English  watering-places. 
I    Its  situation  is  certainly  one  of  extreme 
beauty.    The  broad  bay  in  which  it  lies 
has,  perhape  not  inaptly,  been  compared 
to  that  of  Naples  on  a  small  scale.    In 
I     sunny  weather  its  limestone  and  marble 
I    cliffs,   growing  lower  towards  the  en- 
i     closing  promontories,  present  a  rvMt 
I     beautiful  aspect. 

I  The  resort  itself  (with  a  very  mild 
I  climate  ami  therefore  much  frequented 
'  by  phtbisics)  rises  terrace-like  on  the 
I  cliffs,  and  is  embedded  in  trees  and 
I     shrubs  of  subtropical  character. 

The  hills  on  which   it  is  built  rise 
to  a  height  of  600  feet  with  houses  at 
ail  altitudes.  Tbis  position  gives  to  it  an 
exceptional  advantage;   as  the   houses 
near  the  water's  edge  enjov  an  exoeed- 
I     ingly  warm  moist  atmospbere  and  the 
others,  as  they  rise,  have  an  increasingly 
j     bracing  and  dry  climate. 
I         The  chief  places  of  hiterest  within 
j     the  town  itself  are:— 
I         The  ruins  of  Tor  Abbey,  a  twelfth

PLYMOUTH,  together  with  the 
adjoining  towns  of  Devonport  and 
Stonehouse,  has  a  pop.  of  200,000. 
It  is  a  strong  maritime  port  situated 
on  the  eastern  shore  of  the  Sound, 
a  spacious  bay  on  the.  south -coast, 
separating  Devon  from  Cornwall. 

It  is  an  important  place  of  call  for 
Atlantic  steamers;  and  the  boats  of 
the  HAMBURG-AMERICAN  LINE 
put  in  here,  both  on  the  outward  and 
the  homeward  journey. 

At  the  west  side  of  the  harbour, 
called  Sutton  Pool,  is  the  busy  part 
of  the  town.  At  Stonehouse  are  the 
Royal  Victualling  Yard,  the  Marine 
Barracks  and  the  Naval  Hospital. 
Devonport  consists  chiefly  of  govern- 
ment buildings.  The  Hoe,  a  beautiful 
Park,  is  the  most  interesting  promenade 
in  Plymouth.  A  good  view  of  it  is 
obtained  from  the  top  of  the  Old 
Eddy  stone  Lighthouse.  In  1878,  this 
lighthouse  was  removed  from  its  rock 
in  the  sea,  and  re-erected  on  the  Hoe 
in  memory  of  its  architect  Smeaton. 
A  little  farther  from  the  Park  stands 
the  Marine  Biological  Laboratory 
and  Museum;  on  the  ground  floor 
of  this  is  an  Aquarium.

U.  H.  CONS.:  O.  Seyfert,  Esq. 

STRATFORD  is  an  old  town,  dating, 
probably,  from  the  8tl»  cent.,  and  "famous 
alone  as  having  given  birth  to  Shakspere. 
The  town  lies  on  the  river  Avon,  there 
navigable:  and  just  as  the  stream  reaches 
the  bridge,  it  broadens  to  full  treble  its 
wonted  width,  ms  if  to  mirror  duly  the 
elm-ringed  church  on  its  bank,  and  show 
in  full  beauty  the  swans  sailing  on  its 
surface.  Bound  the  town  are  more  or 
less  distant  hi}ls,  and  the  view  of  it  from 
the  nearest,  the  Welcombe  Hills,  whose 
enclosure  Shakspere  said  he  was  not 
able  to  bear,  shows  the  town  nestling 
in  a  broad  valley,  a  quiet  cozy  place, 
no#  numbering  7,000  since  grown  to 
9,000  inhabitants.  {See  however  above: 
the  population  is  now  stationary.]  It  and 
Henley,  not  far  off  to  the  northward, 
are  described  in  a  Harleian  MS.  of  1550 
as  *good  market  towns'."    (Fumivall). 

The  house  in  which  Shakspere  was 
born  is  not  known  with  certainty: 
doubtless  it  was  in  Henley  Street 
(called  in  documents  of  Shakespere's 
day  Hendley  St.),  as  his  father  lived 
here  in  1552.  Tradition  has  fixed  upon 
the  left  hand  house  of  two  bought  by 
the  elder  Shakspere  in  i  663.  This  house, 
now  national  property,  has  been  con- 
verted into  a  small  musnum,  and  con- 
tains, besides  a  number  of  interesting 
relics,  the  scribbled  autographs  of  re- 
nowned as  well  as  unrenowned,  among 
the  greater  names  being  that  of  Byron. 

But  if  Shakspere's  birth-house  is 
doubtful,  still  more  so  is  his  birth- 
day. Tradition  has  been  busy  here 
also,  and  assigns  the  23 'd  April 
(May  3rd)  1564;  though  the  date 
may,  with  tolerable  cetttinty,  be 
j^laoed  cariitf  in  th§  same  y^Ar. 


The  date  and  place  of  the  poel^s 
death  are,  however,  known.  It  was 
on  the  23rd  of  April,  1616,  at  New 
Place,  that  he  expired,  his  body  being 
interred  in  Holy  Trinity  Church,  in 
the  south  side  of  the  town  near  the 
river,  from  whose  bridge  a  good  view 
is  obtained.  Mr.  Furnivall  gives  the 
following  description  of  the  spot: — 

"Over  Shakspere*s  grave  in  the  chancel 
of  Stratford  Church  is-  a  dark  flat  tomb- 
stone, with  this  inscription,  which 
Dowdall  says  was  *made  by  himself  a 
littJe  before  his  death*  —  'Good  frend, 
for  Jesus  sake  forbeare  To  digjg:  the  dvst 
encloaBcd  heare:—  Bleste  be  ye  man  yt 
spares  thes  sfx>nes.  And  ovrst  be  he  yt 
moves  my  bones.' 

""On  the  left  or  north  wall  of  the 
chancel,  against  the  blockt-up  bottom 
of  the  second  window  from  the  com- 
munion table,  is  the  mocument  to  Shak- 
spere, containing  the  celebrated  Stratford 
life-size  bust,  evidently  cut  from  a  death- 
mask,  and  said  by  Dugdale  (Life,  Diary 
p.  90),  to  have  been  made  by  one  Gerard 
Johnson,*  a  well-known  sculptor^. 

The  bust,  which  has  been  re-coloured 
in  accordance  with  the  original  tints, 
gives  an  excellent  idea  of  the  bard's 
appearance.  The  eyes  and  upper  lip 
alone,  seem  to  be  incorrect,  the  former 
being  rather  sloping  and  the  latter 
somewhat  elongated. 

Outside  the  Town  Hall  is  a  statue  of 
Shakspere;  within  this  building  is  a 
full  length  portrait  of  him  presented 
by  Garrick. 

-  On  the  banks  of  the  Avon  stands  the 
Shakespeare  Memorial  Theater^  where 
plays  of  Shakspere  are  performed  twice 
a-year.  There  is  also  a  library  with  books 
and  paintings  referring  to  the  poet,  and  a 
bust  of  him  with  figures  of  Hamlet,  Lady 
Macbeth,  Prince  Henry  and  Falstaff. 

A  visit  should  also  be  paid  to  old 
GharleootePark  and  the  house  belonging 
to  the  Lucys;  as  well  as  to  Anne  Hatha- 
way's  Cottage,  a  mile  distant  along  the 
Alcester  road,  where  Shakspere's  wife 
lived  previous  to  her  marriage. 

lieamlnfftoii  Spa  (Regent;  Manor 
House;  Clarendoa)  has  risen,  in  recent 
yeara,  from  an  obscure  hamlet  to  a 
thriving  bath.  It  has  a  nop.  of  25,000, 
and  is  annually  thronged  by  thousands 
seeking  the  benefit  of  its  excellent  medi- 
cinal waters.  The  springs  are  of  three 
types,  namely,  chalvbeate,  sulphurous 
and  saline.  The  various  baths  are  the 
Boyal  Leamington  Bath  and  Pnmp  Boom,

its  erection.  Close  to  the  Museum  is  the 
Council  Hoase,  and  near  this,  a  fountain

EDINBURGH  owes  its  existence 
and  its  name  to  Eadwine  of  North- 
urabria  (617—633),  who  developed 
the  place  as  a  frontier  defence  against 
the  Picts  of  the  North.  With  the 
transfer  of  supremacy  among  the 
English  heptarchy  to  the  kings  ol 
Wessex,  the  extremity  of  Northumbria 
became  separated  from  the  southern 
half;  and  the  Kingdom  of  Scotland 
gradually  arose,  with  Edinburgh  as 
its  capital. 

The  city  lies  among  hills  about  two 
miles  distant  from  its  port,  Leith,  on 
the  Firth  of  Forth. 

Its  architectural  beauties  and  its 
superb  situation  render  it  one  of  the 
finest  cities  of  Europe.  The  edifices, 
mostly  of  stone,  rise  picturesquely 
on  the  sides  of  the  hills.  Near  the 
centre  of  the  city  and  between  the 
main  street  and  the  castle,  there  are 
some  pretty  grounds,  called  Princes 
Street  Gardens,  to  the  east  and  west 
of  which  lie,  respectively,  Waverley 
and  Caledonian  Rail.  Stations.  To 
the  N.  of  this  lies  the  regularly  built 
new  city;  while  to  the  S.  is  the  old 
city. 

In  East  Princes  Gardens   rises  the 
magnificent    Scott    Monument   with 
Steel's   statue    of  the  Wizard  of 
North.    Close  by  are  others  to  Livi 
stone ,    Adam    Black    and    Wils 
Round    this   spot    most   of  the  c 
buildings    cluster.      They    are 
following:  — 

The  National  Gallery  and  1 
Royal  Institution,  handsome  st

This  anoient  and  historio  town,  situ-

by  old  Boman  walls,  is  the  seat  of  an 
Archbishop  and  the  chief  town  of  a  large 
and  ezoeeoingly  wealthy  county. 

In  Roman  tunes,  it  was  the  capital 
of  the  country,  where  SeTeras  and  Con- 
staatiae  resided;  and  ite  importance 
continued  during  the  Saxon  period,  the 
city,  indeed,  having  played  a  leading 
part  throughout  English  history. 

The  principal  object  of  interest  is 
the  beautiful  Gothic 

Miostery  unriTalled  in  England  for 
sise,  proportion  and  completeness  of 
design  (1472).  Its  W.  front  (the  most

(dOO  feet  hi^h),  its  'Decorated*  central 
door- way,  with  the  exquisite  W.  window

Norman  structure  there  remain  only 
the  base  of  the  W.  front  and  the 
first  bay  of  the  nave,  the  body  of 
the  building  having  be^n  severely 
damaged  by  earthquake  in  1185.  It 
was  rebuilt  by  Bishop  Hugh  of  A  valon, 
to  whom  the  main  part  of  the  present 
edifice  owes  its  simple  but  grand 
beauty.  This  architect  erected,  in 
pure  early  -  Gothic,  the  almost  un- 
rivalled Choir  and  the  E.  transept. 
Many  parts  of  the  interior  are  also 
due  to  him;  while  the  W.  front,  the 
nave,  the  west  transept  and  the 
Chapter  House,  though  of  rather 
later  date,  still  belong  to  the  same 
period.  The  centre  porch  and  the  W. 
towers,  which  withstood  the  earth- 
quake, are  Transitional:  the  remainder 
of  the  building  is  geometrical  or 
perpendicular.  The  interior,  with  its 
elegant  vaulting,  fine  columns  and 
beautiful  windows,  produces  an  ex- 
ceptionally harmonious  eftect;  while 
such  monuments  as  that  to  Bishop 
Wordsworth,  the  tomb  of  John  of 
Gaunt*s  wife  and  the  Easter  Sepulchre 
render  the  Cathedral  unusually  inter- 
esting. Among  other  details,  the  visitor 
should  not  omit  to  observe  the  admir- 
ably carved  choir  stalls,  the  tracery  of 
the  rose-window  in  the  N.  transept,  the 
vaulting  of  the  choir,  the  carved  span- 
drels of  the  Angel  Choir,  the  unmatched

and  the  well-preserved  copy  of  the 
Magna  Charta  in  the  library,

of  foor  railway  lines. 

The  Cathedral  is  one  of  the  most 
important  Norman  ediflees  in  England. 


tt  was  built  1 1 17-1237,  and  has  a  fine 
W.  fa9ade,  which  is  its  greatest  beauty.

transepts  and  choir,  the  last  being  the 
oldest  part  (1140)  now  existing. 

The  interior  is  in  Norman  style,  ex> 
cept  the  small  transept  at  the  W.  end 
of  the  nave  and  the  new  buildings 
at  the  E.  end.  The  beautifully  painted 
wooden  roof  of  the  nave  (12th  cent.) 
and  transepts  are  worth  inspection. 
The  retro -choir,  or  new  building, 
erected  in  the  16th  cent  in  Perpen- 
dicular style,  has  a  vaulted  roof  ol 
exquisite  fan-tracery. 

The  visitor  will  find  it  pleasant  to 
take  a  walk  in  the  beautiful  Precinct, 
with  its  green  lawn  and  old  tombs 
among  the  trees  and  monastic  ruins.

M ALICO  is  a  busy  seaport  town  and 
railway  centre.  Eleven  miles  to  the  N.B. 
lies  the  ancient  city  of 

Lnnd»  an  academic  centre  of  the  first 
rank.  The  cathedral  is  one  of  the  finest 
ecclesiastical  edifices  in  Scsmdinavia. 

From  Malmo  a  line  of  rail  rnns  up 
the  Kattegat  coast  to 

GOTHEXBrRG  (POP.:  188,000.  — 
U.  8.  CONS. :  B.  S.  S.  Bergh^  Esq.),  which 
ranks  second  in  sise  of  the  towns  of 
Sweden  but  holds  the  first  place  as  an 
export  centre.  It  is  almost  three  centuries 
old  and  has  never  been  in  the  hands 
of  any  foreign  power.  Its  harbour  ac- 
commodation is  excellent,  and  the  com- 
parative mildness  of  its  climate  renders 
it  possible  for  trade  to  go  on  uninter- 
ruptedly throughout  the  winter.  The 
city  is  well  built,  and  provision  is  made 
for  the  recreation  of  the  population:— 
Slottssko^en,  a  splendid  public  park; 
Tradgardsfdreningen,  finely  laid  oat 
botanical  gardens  with  an  excellent 
restaurant,  where  concerts  are  given 
twice  daily. 

From  Gothenburg  to  Stockholm,  the 
favourite  route  is  oy  the  09ta  Canal. 
The  journey  requires  66  hours;  but  is 
worth  doing,  on  account  of  the  beau- 
tiful scenery  through  which  it  passes. 

Not  much  more  than  one  half  of  the 
distance  is  really  a  canal  journey  as,  on 


tlie  way,  the  lakes  of  Vener,  Vetter  and 
M&lar  are  traversed,  .and  it  ik  to  these 
and  to  the  fine  Falls  of  Trollh&ttan  near 
the  first  of  them  that  the  Toute  owes 
its  chief  celebrity.  The  last  of  them, 
the  island-dotted  M&lar,  is  rather  a  loch 
than  a  lake.  At  its  Baltic  end  lies  the 
goal  of  the  journey,  the  famous  city  of

STOCKHOLM  has  been  justly  styled 
the  Venice  of  the  North.  It  lies  on  an 
archipelago  in  the  Baltic  Sea  much  like 
its  sister  of  the  Adriatic;  and  both  the 
cities,  as  well  as  both  the  seas,  present 
striking  features  of  resemblance. 

In  Stockholm,  as  in  Venice,  the  me- 
diiBval  and  the  modern  meet.  There  are 
the  quaint  old-world  coun'ing- houses, 
narrow  streets  Bnd  quays  of  the  city 
proper,  the  imposing  public  edifices, 
such  as  the  National  Museum,  the 
Opera  House,  the  Biddarholm  Oharch, 
the  New  Houses  of  Parliament  and, 
last  but  not  least,  that  noble  monument 
of  architectural  skill  and  taste  —  the 
Royal  Palace;  there  are  the  many 
waterwavs  with  their  graceful  meander- 
ings  and  their  often  agitated  waves, 
upon  which  boats,  of  various  shapes 
and  on  differing  errands  bent,*  keep 
plying  to  and  fro;  picturesque  effects 
are  never  wanting,  whether  at  sunrise 
in  winter  behind  Skeppsholmen,  or 
sunset  in  summer  in  the  calm  waters  of 
Lake  Mftlar,  whether  the  timl  or  ketches 
in  Nybroviken  have  spread  ail  sails  to 
dry  m  the  sunshine  alter  a  shower, 
or  if  the  same  sheet  of  water  in  its 
frozen  condition  rings  to  the  steel  of 
the  skater  beneath  a  tairyland  effect  of 
coloured  lights  on  a  winter's  evening. 
Stockholm,  in  a  word,  is  attractive  at  sll 
seasons  of  the  year,  affording  a  great 
variety  of  interest  and  enjoyment. 

The  principal  sights  of  the  city  are:— 

The  Boyal  Palace,  shown  on  week- 
days 10—8.  Bldd»rholm  Church,  the 
Hansolenm  of  Swedish  Kings,  shown  on 
weekdays  11—2.  The  National  Moseum, 
containing  a  representative  picture 
gallery  and  a  rich  and  well-arranged

weapons  &c.  from  prehistoric  times 
downwards:  it  is  open  to  the  public

Sweden  is  divided  from  the  greater 
part  of  Norway  by  a  high  and  ex- 
tremely bleak  mountain  chain.  The 
political  boundary  has  been  carefully 
adjusted,  and  a  neutral  zone  marked 
out.  On  crossing  from  the  one 
country  to  the  other,  one  notices  not 
only  a  slight  change  in  the  character 
of  the  land  but  also  in  the  manners 
and,  still  more,  in  the  speech  of  the 
people.    The  Swedish  tongue  is  softer

SPAIN  AND  PORTUGAL 


Before  bringing  this  book  to  a  ciose, 
we  would  warmly  recommend  tourists 
not  to  neglect  a  visit  to  Spain  and 
Portugal;  sinee  the  Feninsnla  contains 
■uch  a  wealth  of  magnificent  edifices, 
and  its  people  lead  such  an  original 
mode  of  Hie  as  to  deserve  from  the 
tourist  a  much  larger  share  of  attention 
than  is  commonly  accorded  to  it. 

The  history  of  Spain  presents^  from 
the  earlietit  periods,  a  most  animated 
character. 

Its  geographical  position  is  most  ad- 
vantageous, and  gave  to  it,  in  the  16th 
and  17th  centuries,  the  command  of  the 
seas  and,  as  a  natural  corollary,  the 
domination  of  the  industrial  markets  of 
the  world. 

nnfortnnateljr,  in  oonsequenoe  of 
centuries  of  priestcraft,  the  onoe  so 
mighty  empire,  has  now  fallen  to  a  low 
estate;  formerly  the  leading  colonial 
power  of  the  world,  all  that  now  remain 
of  its  vast  possessions,  are  a  few  insigni- 
ficant settlements  in  Africa. 

The  principal  resources  of  the  land 
are  its  vast  mineral  treasures  and  sub- 
tropical products;  though  the  somewhat 
indolent  character  of  the  population 
and  the  instability  of  the  government 
hinder  the  exploitation  of  the  former 
aud  leave  the  fruit  and  wine  trades 
largely  in  the  hands  of  foreigners. 

Constitutional  monarchy  is  the  ex- 
isting form  of  ^vernment,  and  the 
legislative  power  is  vested  in  the  Sove- 
reign and  the  Cortes. 

The  pop.  numbers  about  17,000,0(XX 

Seoarated  from  France  bv  the  Psrre- 
nees  Mountains  and  from  Africa  by  the 
Straits  of  Qibraltar,  the  Peninsula  has 
roughly  the  form  of  a  quadrangle,  with 
a  regular  coast-line  washed  on  the  north 
by  the  Bay  of  Biscay,  on  the  south  and 
west  by  the  Mediterranean  Sea.  The  sur- 
face of  the  land  is,  in  some  parts,  moun- 
tainous, in  others,  undulating:  besides 
the  Pyrenees  and  their  extension,  the 
Cantabrian  Mts^,  a  high  rangt,  runs  from 


867 


north  to  south,  falling  terrace-like  to 
the  lowlands  of  Andalusia,  and  sinking 
gradually  towards  the  ooean  on  the 
west,  ivumeroas  other  ohams,  called 
Sierras,  traverse  the  country  in  various 
directions,  the  most  celebrated  being 
the  Sierra  Morena,  Sierra  Nevada  &c., 
whose  grandeur  and  variety  of  form 
awaken  the  enthusiastio  admiration  of 
every  beholder. 

These  Sierras  form  the  watersheds 
of  the  several  large  rivers  by  which  the 
land  is  drained.  The  Douro,  the  Tagus, 
the  Guadiana  and  the  Guadalquivir 
flow  to  the  Atlantic;  while  the  Sbro 
falls  into  the  Mediterranean  Sea. 

The  Peninsula  is  well  supplied  with 
railways  which  render  travelling  easy, 
and  enable  even  the  most  fHstidious 
tourist  to  visit  the  innumerable  monu- 
ments of  a  glorious  past  without  any 
excessive  fatigue. 

The  principal  tours  ^re:— 

From  Biarrita  via  Sim  Sebastian  and 
Yalladolid  to  Madrid,  the  splendid  oa- 

gital  of  the  country.  Thence  to  Lisbon, 
oimbra  and  Oporto;  to  Cordova,  Seville, 
Cadis  and  Gibraltar,  the  last  towns  being 
good  starting  points  for  the  delightful 
trip  to  Morocco.  The  most  advisable 
return  route  is  via  the  harbour-towns 
of  Malaga,  Valencia  and  Barcelona  to 
Marseilles.  AU  ihese  places  are  folly  as 
interesting  as  the  various  Italian  towns, 
and  need  only  to  become  better  known 
to  be  more  generally  visited. 

First-class  hotels  will  be  found  in 
every  Spanish  city,  many  of  them  even 
in  English  style;  and  priees  are  ex- 
tremely moderate^

The  eminently  picturesque  situation 
of  the  Portuguese  capital  is  well-known. 
It  rises  in  terraces  above  a  fine  har- 
bour, at  the  broad  mouth  of  the  river 
Tagus,  and,  seen  from  the  blue  sea 
in  the  clear  climate  of  the  south, 
presents  one  of  the  most  charming 
sights  of  any  city  in  Europe. 

Owing,  however,  to  the  historic 
earthquake  of  1753,  the  interest  of 
the  city  centres  not  so  much  in  its 
archaeology  as  in  its  modern  buildings 
and  delightful  surroundings.

SEVILLE,  enjoying  one  of  themost 
delightful  of  climates,  was  known 
to  the  Romans,  but  was  completely 
remodelled  by  the  Moors.  It  is  still 
Moresque  in  character,  containing, 
everywhere,  those  beautiful,  leafy 
and  luscious  Patios  so  beloved  by 
Washington  Irving. 

One  of  its  finest  squares  is  orna- 
mented with  a  Moorish  Fountain;  and, 
besides  a  striking  Moorish  aqueduct, 
it  contains  «  very  beautiful  Saracen 
building,  called  Casa  del  Ayuntamiento 
(Town  Hall),  and  another  called  Don 
Pedro^s  Palace  (1412).  But  the  most 
notable  of  the  Moorish  antiquities  is 
the  Alcazar,  a  vast  castle  remarkable 
for  its  lar^e  square  towers  and  ad- 


W 


mirably  restored  by  the  Duke  of 
Montpensier:  it  it»  in  many  parts,  a 
worthy  rival  of  the  Alhambra. 

Among  the  christian  edifices  is  the 
far-famed  Cathedral,  which  combines 
Romanesque  and  Gothit  features.  It 
is  almost  a  spuare  structure  with  an 
elevated  nave  and  transept  supported 
by  low  and  nearly  horizontal  flying 
buttresses:  the  tower  is  also  square, 
with  a  Romanesque  lantern  and 
Moresque  ornamentation. 

The  Bourse,  enclosing  a  large 
square  court,  contains  the  archives 
and  some  30,000  other  documents 
relating  to  Pizarro,  Cortez  and  the 
Spanish  conquest  of  America. 

The  University  consists  of  9  col- 
leges. San  Telmo,  the  residence 
of  the  Duke  de  Montpensier,  is  a 
handsome  modern  structure.  The 
Salon  de  Murillo  contains  some  ex- 
cellent specimens  of  Murillo,  who, 
as  well  as  Velasquez,  was  a  native 
of  the  city.

The  bold  headland  of  Gibraltar  is 
a  vast  mass  of  Jurassic  rock  shutting 
in  a  fine  bay  and  possessing  an 
excellent  harbour.  It  is  used  as  a 
coaling-station  where  50,000  vessels 
call  annually.  The  coasts  rise  from 
the  bay  in  steep  terraces;  while  to 
the  N.  and  E.  they  are  quite  sheer. 
Its  impregnable  situation  has  gained 
for  it  the  title  of  the  Key  of  the 
Mediterranean,  and  makes  it  a  most 
valuable  possession  of  the  British 
Empire.  Its  principal  interest  lies 
in   its    historic    connections,    one    of 


the  chief  sights  being  the  Ragged 
Staff  Stairs,  where  Sir  George  Rooke 
landed  in  1704.

Roumania,  a  kingdom  enclosed  by  the 
Black  Sea,   Russia,  Hungary,  Serbia 
&  Bulgaria,  and  separated  from  this 
last  by  the  Danube.    The  country  is 
inhabited  by  old  settlers  brought  from 
Gaul  (cf.  Galations),  and  the  speech  is 
Romance  in  character,  though,  owing 
to  the  numerous   inroads   of   Goths 
Huns,  Fins,  Slavs  and  Turks,  it  has 
absorbed    a    large    foreign    element. 
Roumania  was    for  some  500  years 
a  principality  which  formed  a  bone  of 
contention  among  its  more  powerful 
neighbours,  and  was  for  a  long  period 
under  the  suzerainty  of  Turkey. 
proclaimed    its    independence   durii

this    being    afterwards   confirmed

ancient  city  were  assembled,  and 
where  their  remains  still  stand,  a 
wonder  for  all  times.  Near  the 
Acropolis  is  the  Areopagus,  or  Mars* 
Hill,  famous  as  the  spot  irom  which 
St.  Paul  addressed  the  Athenians. 

While  the  remains  of  ancient  Rome 
are  grander,  and  those  of  Babylon 
are  mysterious,  neither  can  compare 
with  those  of  ancient  Athens  for 
beauty  and  chastity  of  art. 

The  modern  city  is  one  of  the 
handsomest  and  most  regularly-built 
towns  in  the  Levant,  dating  practi- 
cally from  1834,  when  the  seat  of 
government  was  transferred  from 
Nauplia. 

The  original  "Temple  of  the  Myste- 
ries'* was  destroyed  by  the  Persians. 
The  ruins  which  remain  to-day  belong 
to  the  structure  erected  some  three 
centuries  before  Christ,  and  are  in 
a  very  poor  state  of  preservation.

Egypt  is  a  name  which,  for  thousands 
of  years,  has  been  one  to  conjure  with. 
It  is  the  source  whence,  through  the 
Semitic  races  of  Syria  and  Asia  Minor, 
Europe  received  its  culture. 

Monuments  of  its  ancient  art,  such  as 
the  mighty  Pyramids,  the  Sphinx,  the 
temples  of  Luxor  and  Karnak,  still  at- 
tract thousands  of  tourists,  especially 
since  the  opening-up  of  the  country  by 
the  English  occupation.  Not  only  has 
steamer  connection  with  the  ports  been 
increased,  but  comfortable  steamboats 
perform  long  journeys  up  the  Nile. 
During  the  last  ten  years,  indeed,  Egypt 
has  developed  by  leaps  and  bounds; 
and  several  of  its  oVd  cities  again  have 
acquired  consicLer-abio  importance.

ALEXANDRIA,  the  former  capital 
of  the  country,  is  situated  at  the 
H.  W.  corner  of  the  delta  of  the 
Nile  and  is  a  busy  town  with  a 
handsome  European  quarter. 

As  its  name  implies  it  was  founded 
by  Alexander  the  Great^  who  cherished 
an  ardent  desire  to  bind  Egypt  with 
strong  cords  to  his  empire.  After  his 
death  and  despite  the  quarrels  of 
hfs  successors,  it  became  the  leading 
port  of  the  Mediterranean  and  is  said 
to  have  had  a  popu'ation  of  over 
half  a  milbon,  in  which  the  Grecian 
element  was  predominant;  though 
The  Egyptians  and  the  Jews  were 
in  strong  proportion* 

Butj  as  at  the  present  day^  it  was 
then  a  cosmopolitan  city  as  those 
who  remember  Kingsley's  Hypatia 
will   reoali. 

With  the  coming  of  Islam  it  passed 
into  the  hands  of  the  Saracens 
(A,  D.  641),  and  lost  its  ancient  impor- 
tance, so  that  by  the  year  1800  the 
population  had  sunk  to  itbout  5^     O. 

But  the  opening  of  the  Suez  C,    ,aL 
has  restored    it  to  its  old  emtn<    ce 
and    its    population    has    now  rf 
again  to  over  350,000.     Sor"-   ^

The  place  is  built  on  the  ancient 
island  of  Pharos  and  the  isthmus 
connecting  it  with  the  mainland. 

Unfortunately,  owing  to  the  vicissi- 
tudes through  which  it  has  passed 
(not  to  forget  the  English  bombard- 
ment in  1884)  as  well  as  to  the  fact 
that  many  of  its  ancient  curiosities, 
such  as  the  "Needles",  have  been  re- 
moved, it  presents  little  of  interest  to 
the  tourist.     The  chief  sights  are:— 

The  Bazaars,  Mohammed  Alt 
Square,  the  Equestrian  Statue  of 
Mohammed  Alt,  first ,  Khedive  of 
Egypt,  the  Law  Courts  and  the 
Bourse,  Pompey's  Pillar  and  the 
site  of  the  Serapeum,  Mohammedan 
Cemetery,  the  Roman  Necropolis  at

It  is  also  of  great  interest  on  account  I  them  are  Greeks ;  there  are  also  a  large 


of  the  numerous  nationalities  com- 
posing its  population.  Almost  every 
oriental  race  has  here  its  representatives; 
while  there  are  considerable  colonies 
of  Europeans.  A  very  Babel  in  its 
language,  the  garb  of  the  East  contrasts 
in  its  streets  with  the  latest  fashions 
of  Paris,  London  and  Berlin. 

The  number  of  Europeans  in  Cairo 
is  about  60,000.  They  reside  in  the 
new  town  (founded  1811)  and  called 
Ismailiyeh  and  Tewfik.    The  mass  of

number  of  Italians;  curiously  enough 
the  English  are  in  a  minority. 

This  new  town  forms  but  a  small 
part  of  Cairo;  here  will  be  found  a 
large  number  of  public  buildings, 
the  leading  hotels,  the  English  church, 
and  the  mansions  of  the  rich. 

The  old  town  consists,  for  the 
main  part,  of  extremely  narrow  and 
tortuous  alleys,  whose  gabled  houses 
in  many  cases  almost  meet  above 
one's  head;    the  ground   is  clammy

Hills.     It   is   lined  with  shops  of  all 

kinds. 

The    citadel    at   the   present   time 


garrisoned  by  Britlsrh  troops,  was 
built  by  Saladin  in  1176  and  restored 
by  Ali  Pasha,  the  founder  of  the  new 
town  in  1811,  The  place  forms  a 
little  wail-town  complete  in  itself.  It 
contains  within  its  grounds  the  Mosque 
of  Mehemet  Ali,  where  the  founder 
of  the  Khedivial  dimnastry  lies  buried. 
Within  the  precincts  there  are  the 
Alabaster  Mosque.  Joseph's  Well,  a 
printing  press,  and  a  cannon  foundry. 

The  citadel  itself  is  a  lon.y  building 
of  quite  Oriental  character. 

The  residences  of  the  Khedive  are 
the  Abdin  and  the  Kubbeh  Palace; 
whilst  there  is  a  third  palace  at 
Shoubra. 

Some  recent  foundations  are  the

consisting  of  interesting  objects  of  the 
Arabe  domination.  In  the  Khedivral 
Library  will  be  found  47,000  vols,  in

In  the  neighbourhood  of  the  Mooskee

city  in  Bgypt  was  the  chief  sacerdotal 
centre  of  the  ancient  Egyptians  (see 
Gen.  XLI  45/50).  Between  the  Sakkara 
Pyramids  and  the  Nile  stands  MemphtSy 
the  ancient  capital  of  the  country.  Al- 
ihough  it  was  sacked  by  Cambyses  and 
its  materials  taken  at  a  later  date  by 
the  Arabs  for  building  Cairo,  it  still

the  remnants  of  a  Necropolis.

This  famous   city,  which   derives  id 
name    from    the   Arabic   Al  Jezatr,   il 
commonly    visited     by    steamer    tiom\ 
Marseilles,  and  is  a  port  with  a  large 
pier- protected  harbour. 

The  bay  in  which  it  lies  is  one  of  the 
finest  in  toe  world,—  bearing  comparison 
with  that  of  Naples.  Built  of  white 
stone  and  surrounded  by  luxurious 
deep-green  vegetation,  the  city,  seen 
from  the  blue  Mediterranean,  presents 
the  appearance  of  a  great  triangular 
opal  set  in  emeralds  and  mounted  on 
a  sapphire  floor. 

The  old  city  is  built  chiefly  on  a 
steep  hill  —  some  distance  Irom  the 
strand.  Since  the  French  occupation, 
a  modern  town  Das  sprung  up 
along  the  shore,  consisting  of 
animated  streets  and  boulevards  and 
containing  a  good  theatre  and  other 
sources  of  amusement. 

The  centre  of  Algiers  is  la  Place  du 
Gouvernemeni,  to  the  north  of  which 
are:—  The  Prefecture;  the  Mosque

/ormerly  a  mosque  (7th  century). 

The  most  agreeable  way  of  visiting 
the  old  city  is  to  take  the  tram-car 
from  El-Biar  to  the  Prison  Civile. 
Thence  visits  may  be  paid  to  La 
Casbah,  and  to  the  terraces  with 
their  fine  view  of  the  harbour.  The

The  so  called  winter  of  Algiers  is  as 
warm  as  an  English  summer;  and  the 
climate  is  considered  by  many  to  be

CONSTANTINE. 

POPULATION:  62000. 

HOTEL:  Le  G rand.  Rue  Nationale,  1*^ 
olass,  well-sitaated. 

CONSTANTINE  is  a  very  ancient 
town  -which,  owing  to  its  almost  im- 
pregnahle  situation,  was,  in  the  days  of 
the  Carthagians  and  Romans,  a  place  of 
f^reat  importance.  It  was  originally 
called  Klrtha  (Lat.  Girta);  but,  having 
been  destroyed  in  A..  D.  811,  it  was  re- 
bailt  by  Constantine  the  Great  from 
whom  it  received  its  present  name. 

During  medisBval  times  it  became  a 
leading  commercial  centre  and  even 
still  it  does  a  considerable  trade  in  grain, 
silk,  wool,  leather,  wine  &c. 

Situated  at  the  i unction  of  the  fruitful 
north  and  the  infertile  south  it  has  rail- 
way communication  with  Algiers,  Philip - 
ville,  Tunis  and  Biskra,  and  occupies  a 
remarkable  site  on  a  plateau  some  2000 
feet  high  and  falling  precipitously  on 
three  sides  to  the  surrounding  plain, 
while  the  third  is  oonnected  with  the 
surrounding  mountains  by  a  natural 
canseway.     In    the    neighbourhood    of
