Description

Excerpt: "The writer, having been ill in the early part of 1869, was advised by physicians and friends to try the effect of foreign travel; but in what direction it was difficult to decide.

With every suggestion of experienced friends there would arise some association of fatigue in sight-seeing, of monotony in resting long in one place.

Pleasant as it would be to nestle in some quiet nook in Switzerland, or to take up an abode in one of the Channel Islands,-Alderney, for example, where there would be much to gratify curiosity, and where the distance from the 11 centres of information would not be great,-the thought of being confined to one place or even district of country, or of being tempted to visit interesting scenes, and especially to make the acquaintance of interesting men, awakened such anticipations of labor as to forbid any hope of restoration from that source."
