Synopsis

Excerpt from In Seven Lands: Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Spain, Portugal, Italy

I have written the above in order to explain why it happens that my father is so often mentioned in this volume, which is based in part on my own recollections and notes, and in part on many memo randa and other materials which my father sent me before his death, leaving me to deal with them as I might think fit, thereafter. I recall also, and at times quote from, several books which I assisted him to write. Two or three times, in his last years, he suggested placing my name as well as his own on certain title-pages, but for various reasons I de murred. The necessity of self-advertisement in an age of strenuous competition had not yet been brought home to me. In fact, I never put my name to any of the numerous compilations and transla tions which I personally prepared for my father's publishing business. Nowadays, it interests me at times to see that several of those books are still on the market, in cheap editions, after the lapse of many years.

The present volume will, I think, speak for itself. Whilst it is founded on the joint experiences of my father and myself, I have now and again inter polated excursions into matters of legend and history. For instance, in the section allotted to Germany, I have given some account of the saintly ancestor of the Hohenzollerns, and have referred to the latest views respecting the identity of the White Lady of Berlin. In the Austrian section.
