Excerpt from The Spell of Switzerland The present book is cast in the guise of fiction. The vague and flitting forms of my niece and her three children are wholly figments of the imagination. No such person as "Will Allerton" enters my doorway. The "Moto," which does such magical service in transporting "Emile" and his admirers from place to place is as unreal Solomon's Carpet. After Lord Sheffield and his family had started back from a visit to Gibbon at Lausanne, his daughter, Maria T. Holroyd, wrote the historian: "I do not know what strange charm there is in Switzerland that makes everybody desirous of returning there." It is the aim of this book to express that charm. It lies not merely in heaped-up masses of mountains, in wonderfully beautiful lakes, in mysterious glaciers, in rainbow-adorned waterfalls; it is largely due to the association with human beings. The spell of Switzerland can be best expressed not in the limited observations of a single person but rather by a concensus of descriptions.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Spell of Switzerland: Look inside the book: But when, as the Wordsworth line has it, “Ruth was left half desolate” (though her father did not “take another mate”), and they showed me how delightfully I could dispose of my library and have an open fire on cold winter evenings, and what a perfect position was, as it were, destined for my baby grand—for I am devoted to music—en amateur, of course,—I yielded, and for ten happy years, saw Ruth grow from a young girl into the woman “nobly planned, to warn, to comfort and command.” ...We three happened to be together one morning and I had the curiosity to ask them, as intelligent men, what they thought of the “initiative and referendum,” which I understood was a characteristic Swiss institution, and which a good many Americans believed ought to be introduced into our American system of conducting affairs, as being more truly democratic than entrusting the settlement of great questions to our Representatives in Congress or in Legislature assembled.

Excerpt from Switzerland of the Swiss It is hoped that this work will be the means of conveying an accurate impression of Switzerland of to-day, and throw some light upon the life and pursuits of the inhabitants. It has been the writer's endeavour to avoid subjects of the guide-book order, while sparing the reader all unnecessary platitudes, the pitfall of writers of this class of book. He has emphasized what is commendable and lightly touched upon that which is open to criticism. It is a curious fact that writers, for centuries, have dwelt upon the avarice and inhospitableness of the Swiss. Frau Kordon, an Austrian poetess of some renown, comments in verse upon Schiller's famous lines, "Ein harmlos Volk von Hirten," and says - "Es nannte dich ein harmlos Volk von Hirten Der Grossten einer einst in grosser Zeit; O Sang, so hehr und traut, so grun wie Myrthen, Wie haben die Besung'nen dich entweiht?..". Ruskin says that the Swiss are stubborn, with more than recorded stubbornness; devoid of all romantic sentiment, neither chivalrously generous nor pathetically humane. Other authorities: Voltaire, Mme. de Stael, Hugo, Dumas, might be cited, whose opinions corroborate those already mentioned. None, however, better than the writer, in the course of his thirty years' contact with the Switzers, has had the same opportunities of judging them. On the other hand, the notes on Art and Literature will open up a new vista, and it is hoped may induce the vast numbers of English and American visitors to this land to read some of the authors and thus become better acquainted with the manners and customs of the people.

Excerpt from Scenes in Switzerland: Gretchen; A Night in the Cathedral; The Bride of the Aar Time flies swiftly when we are sightseeing; and it was late in the autumn of 18 - when I reached Lindau. Lake Constance lay before me, a pale, green sheet of water, hemmed in on the south by bold mountain ranges, filling the interim between the Rhine valley and the long undulating ridges of the Canton Thurgau. These heights, cleft at intervals by green smiling valleys and deep ravines, are only the front of table-land stretching away like an inclined plane, and dotted with scattered houses and cloistering villages.

Excerpt from Spell Land: The Story of a Sussex Farm But in the cast-house there Was no sunshine, and the Wind bellowed like a ram, swinging the cowl With moans, and agonizing the heart of a child Who had just crept in from the hay-barn. His teeth chattered, his knees knocked together, his palms and forehead Were damp, but he was man enough to conquer the coward impulse that fought to drag him back into the yard, Where the cows stood ready for milking, and the voices Of his brothers and their servants rang hoarsely reminiscent of every day. To-day stood apart from that procession of momentous trivialities called Every Day. To-day Was abnormal enough to throw Every Day out of course, for To-day the World of dreams was to put on flesh, and he should see his hero and his. Adversary face to face. It Was now some months Since, Walking With Christian on Forgetful Green, he had met Apollyon straddling across the Way, and had forthwith made him his hero - or perhaps he Was not SO much a hero as an obsession, a pair of spectacles through Which the child Viewed life and saw all things new. His glamour had rested chiefly on a dusty row of books, the unread apology for a library at Spell Land. His sister Dora, Who added daily to her labours by making him stand at her knee and spell out The cat is on the mat.
