Excerpt from South by East: Notes of Travel in Southern Europe In the following pages I have made no attempt to preserve a special continuity in the treatment of the subjects discussed, or to give a formal description of any of the places mentioned. Such descriptions will be found in guide-books, and in that excellent class of books which has arisen during the last few years, of which Hare's Days in Rome may be taken as a good example. Here I have jotted down ideas and impressions, which presented themselves from time to time while visiting certain well-known places. These chapters are literally what they profess to be, " Notes of Travel," often desultory, but, I trust, seldom inaccurate. Portions of several chapters have appeared from time to time in our school paper, The Marlburian, and the major part of the "Summer Bouquet" is from The Cliftonian of 1870. Nearly the whole of the chapter on Athens was printed in the Dublin University Magazine for July, 1875, and the account of the Tuscan Memorial to Galileo in Nature, for August, 1873.
