Excerpt from A Student Reverie: An Album of Saxony Days; (Freiberg Near Dresden)
The usual new-world notion of a mining town or camp as a hurriedly erected, incomplete if not even dilapidated, collection of improvised houses and smok ing, whistling works, dotted with ugly mining dumps fringed with tin cans and other unsightly refuse - eviv deuces of crude, unsettled living - ia no sense applies to Freiberg. In every way the picture now unfolding shows a situation quite the contrary.
