The Fair Land Tyrol (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Fair Land Tyrol

IN writing about a land and people the first thing needful is to bring appreciation and affection to the task. It is well to be able to discriminate in a kindly manner between the transitory idiosyncrasies of men and things and their enduring qualities; it is admirable to set aside the grotesque and the fantastical in behalf Of the good, the true, and the beauti ful; it is Wise to be always just in estimating motives and acts; but it is more important still to admire and to write from the heart rather than from the head only.

N 0 one can travel and tour in the Tyrol, see its glorious scenery, enjoy the hospitality of its inns, receive the pleasant deference, and hear the warm-hearted sentiments Of its inhabitants, without learning to love both land and people.

It is the province of this book to praise, to repay in a measure the friendly reception which was everywhere accorded the writer.
