Sinopsis
Excerpt from Wanderings by the Loire
When a traveller desires to get into any of the pro vinces of France, he first betakes himself to the capital, however far it may seem to be out of the line; and from thence he calculates with safety on being con veyed at once to his place of destination. In England, on the contrary, we can go from Bristol to Liverpool without thinking it necessary to visit London. But Paris is not in one, but in every respect the heart of the kingdom. It is the sun of the system, and, as such, an object of worship to the ignorant, and of admiration to the well-informed. It is the centre from which every thing radiates, and the focus to which all things return.
When we were there last, the revolution of July being the idea uppermost in our mind, we looked and listened, with intense curiosity, for the moral traces which might be supposed to follow so stupendous an event. We saw nothing, however, but the usual vanity fair, and heard nothing beyond the usual grumbling of politicians.

Excerpt from Wanderings by the Loire
The author of this book has no desire to conceal the pride which he feels in having his name connected with a work so magnificent in point of art. It is not his fault if the portion for which he is himself answerable shall be thought vastly inferior to the pictorial - he did not write with the pencil of Turner.
On returning from a tour undertaken for the purpose of exploring the scenery of the Loire, he was for some time uncertain in what manner to arrange his materials. He knew that, with a history of France or England in his hand, he might, with the least possible trouble, concoct a book which should be far from uninteresting. This, however, would have been called a compilation, and, besides, would have possessed no novelty for the readers of history.
