Synopsis

Excerpt from The Hand-Book for Travellers in Switzerland and the Alps of Savoy and Piedmont: Including the Protestant Valleys of the Waldenses

He has, however, no hesitation in speaking of r the merits of the second section, of this volume; relating to Savov and Piedmont, which has been prepared by a friend and fellow-traveller, most intimately acquainted with those countries, which he has ex lored in almost every direction, and on many di erent occasions. The routes contained in it possess great interest, from the total want of any other information respecting the country the traverse, from the extreme accuracy with whio they are described, and from their being derived, not from books, but from personal knowledge. They will probably be the means of throwing open to English travellers a region little visited hitherto, but possessing, from its romantic beauties, the highest claim to attention.
