Excerpt from Seeing Europe With Famous Authors, Vol. 6 In Hungary there are great quantities of unearthed riches, and not only in the form of gold. These riches are the mineral waters that abound in the country and have been the natural medicine of the people for many years. Water in itself was always worshiped by the Hungarians in the earliest ages, and they have found out through experience for which ailment the different waters may be used. There are numbers of small watering-places in the most primitive state, which are visited by the peasants from far and wide, more especially those that are good for rheumatism. Like all people that work much in the open, the Hungarian in old age feels the aching of his limbs. The Carpathians are full of such baths, some of them quite primitive; others are used more as summer resorts, where the well-to-do town people build their villas; others, again, like Tatra Fured, Tatra Lomniez, Csorba, and many others, have every accommodation and are visited by people from all over Europe.

"A two-fold purpose has been kept in view during the preparation of these volumes-on the one-hand, to refresh the memories and, if possible, to enlarge the knowledge, of readers who have already visited Europe; on the other, to provide something in the nature of a substitute for those who have not yet done so, and to inspire them with new and stronger ambitions to make the trip." Francis Whiting Halsey (1851-1919) was an American journalist and historian. He was assistant editor of the Binghamton Times (1873-1875), a member of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune (1875-1880), and in 1880 joined the staff of the New York Times as foreign editor and writer of book reviews. He was literary editor of The Times, and established the Times Saturday Review of Books and Art in 1896. He also issued anonymously, Virginia Isabel Forbes, a memoir of his wife, printed privately in 1900. His works include: Two Months Abroad (1878), The Old New York Frontier (1901), The Pioneers of Unadilla Village (1902), The World's Famous Orations (1906) and The Best of the World's Classics (10 volumes) (with Henry Cabot Lodge) (1909).

The great beauty of Biarritz is its setting. At Monte Carlo the setting is also beautiful, ravishingly beautiful, but the architecture, the terrace, Monaco's rock, and all the rest combine to make the pleasing "ensemble." At Biarritz the architecture of its Casino and the great hotels is not of an epoch-making beauty, neither are they so delightfully placed. It is the surrounding stage setting that is so lovely. Here the jagged shore line, the blue waves, the ample horizon seaward, are what make it all so charming. -from "Biarritz," by Francis Miltoun From the era from a trip to the Continent was rarer but more deeply appreciated comes an enchanting literary travelogue assembled from the hearts and minds of some of the greatest wordsmiths in the English language. A Grand Tour in 10 volumes, these delightful volumes, first published in 1914, gather little-seen essays from famous erudite explorers in compact collections that will inspire those who've never been abroad to make the journey, and move those who have to pack their bags again. Volume IV continues the series' exploration of France and the Netherlands through the eyes and prose of a panoply of extraordinary writers: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow stays at a chateau in the valley of the Loire, Charles Dickens describes Marseilles, Victor Hugo visits Waterloo, and much more by such notable voices as Henry James, William Makepeace Thackeray, and others. Beautifully illustrated with charming photographs, it is a work to treasure... and to take along on your next trip.
