Excerpt from The Alps For the early chapters of this book I have consulted, amongst other authorities, the books mentioned in the bibliography on pp. 251- 254. It would, however, be ungracious if I failed to acknowledge my indebtedness to that most readable of historians, Mr. Gribble, and to his books, The Early Mountaineers (Fisher Unwin) and The Story of Alpine Climbing (Nelson). Mr. Gribble and his publisher, Mr. Unwin, have kindly allowed me to quote passages translated from the works of the pioneers. Two friends, experts in the practice and history of mountaineering, have read the proofs and helped me with numerous suggestions.

His blend included scientific accuracy with emotional clarity. The above along with an excellent bibliography make this book an excellent starting off point for people fascinated by mountains and particularly the Swiss Alps.His reference to Algernon Blackwood demonstrated to me the breadth of his understanding of people and these mountains. The Swiss Alps were, arguably, the life of Arnold Lunn.

Excerpt from In Praise of Switzerland: Being the Alps, in Prose and Verse IN the building of Europe, Nature placed as a guard and a barrier at the head of each southern tongue of land, a formidable screen of mountains - the Balkans, the Pyrenees and the Alps. Of all these ranges far and away the most formidable is the Alps. It stretches from sea to sea - from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic. It contains mountains of every shape and form, from the great rounded formation of Mont Blanc to the needle points Of the Dolomites. It includes great lakes, rich valleys, wide mountain pastures. It leans down to grassy slopes and up to eternal snows. It comprises vast glaciers and huge plains. In building such a barrier Nature seems to have had some prophetic feeling that it was to be a protection for a race destined to give to Europe both a law and a religion.

Excerpt from Italy From the Alps to Mount Etna Only a few squalid buildings exist here close to the hospice. There are no other inhabitants except the men charged with the maintenance of the road. Six-and-twenty houses have been erected at the most dangerous points of the road, the use of which is to provide a shelter for wanderers overtaken by the snow. The watchmen pass their lives in combating danger for themselves and Others; for fearful storms rage here when the winds from Lombardy and Savoy meet, and rush together like two howling wolves. Such is the landscape of the Mont Cenis: we have endeavoured to sketch it in slight outline. And yet what memories Of great deeds hang round that dreary stony Spot! Of what antiquity is the first track across these heights, - from the days of Hannibal and Constantine, of Charlemagne and the journey to Canossa! We possess a description of the latter by Padre Bresciani, and our blood boils as often as we read it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth of June to the 11th of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.
