Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Library of the University of California
HE time is not far removed, when to cross i I the frontiers of France was sufficient in the eyes of the public of that country, to constitute a hardy explorer. Thirty years ago the excursions of Theophile Gautier in Spain, of Paul de Musset in Italy, and of Victor Hugo on the banks of the Rhine, attained the proportions of voyages of discovery. Sterne's 'sentimental Journey' was exhumed, and tcpffer's 'zigzags' again found admiring readers.
