Vol. 1.
This book contains the author's impressions of natural beauty and historic interest from his travels. His early years were devoted to mountain climbing, such as in his 1872 trip to Iceland, and his expeditions to the Polish and Hungary Alps, made with Leslie Stephen. He also went to the Alps in 1884 with Edward Bowen of Harrow in order to follow the march of the Russian General Suvaroff in the campaign against the French in 1799 when he crossed the St. Gotthard to make his way through Canton Schwyz to join the Austrian Archduke Charles at Zürich. Also included are later travels to Palestine and Petra just months before the outbreak of the Great War; the Islands of the Southern Pacific; a journey through Siberia, and two hundred miles up the Obi River to the Altai Mountains; as well as a visit to the United States in 1921.
