Excerpt from Romance and Teutonic Switzerland, Vol. 1 of 2
Let me say at once that I have no desire to inflict another guide-book of Switzerland upon the tourist public. It is not my ambition to rival the inimitable Baedeker, but rather to supplement that work with portable companions, which shall add historical and biographical details to each place, and suggest local color and atmosphere. These little volumes on Romance and Teutonic Switzerland are intended to amplify and elucidate, by a series of pen pictures, what mere guidebooks can only indicate. For this reason, the harrowing details of hotels and trains are religiously avoided.
