Preface. The everlasting hills, how calm they rise, Bold witnesses to an Almighty hand! We gaze with longing heart and eager eyes, And feel as if short pathway might suffice From those pure regions to the heavenly land. Nowhere can we so heartily unite with Coleridge in his apostrophe to Mont Blanc, Great Hierarch !tell thou the silent sky, And tell the stars, and tell yon rising sun, Earth with her thousand voices praises God. Every one looks to the little land of rocks and glaciers, lying in the centre of the continent of Europe, with feelings that are not awakened by any other region, and it has been the aim of the writer of the following pages to put into brief compass the story of the country, in order that those who are stirred by a general desire to do so, may readily acquaint themselves with it. The reader will find that Miss Mackenzie has the easy style that is demanded by such a task as that which she has set before herself. Her pages give in prose the thrilling story of the republic, and are adorned also with many gems gathered from the poets. No country lends itself so successfully to the engraver, and the numerous picturesque illustrations will be found to have an unusual interest. A. G. CAMBRIDGE, January,
