Excerpt from Switzerland in 1854-5: A Book of Travel, Men Things
Having been compelled to relinquish his professional duties, the author of the following pages sought retirement and rest in the Alps, where he passed two summers. Whilst there, surrounded by the sublimities of nature, it occurred to him to make rough notes of the impressions which surrounding objects produced on his mind, as well as the inferences which he was led to deduce from the institutions and customs of the people with whom he was brought in contact. Some of the sceneries and incidents which he has attempted to describe were written out in their present form, at various intervals, in the midst of the scenes which they describe; of others the narrative has been completed and digested into order since his return.
