Description
Excerpt from A Guide to the Rhine: Describing a Summer Tour From Dusseldorf to Mainz, Including Visits to the Valleys of the Nahe, Lahn, Moselle, Ahr, the Siebengebirge, Etc
This book, on its first appearance in German, was received with such great approval by visitors to the Rhine, that the publishers decided to respond to the often-expressed wish for an English edition. It will be useful in the first place to those tourists, who desire in a comparatively short time to see the chief beauties of the Rhine, and for that purpose wish a small work combining the qualities of a practical guide and a descriptive handbook. With this view, different sizes of type have been used to distinguish the concise descriptions of the principal sights which meet the eye on the Rhine journey from the fuller and interesting information given of a historical, legendary, or economical nature. In particular, introductory sections to the Guide proper deal with the Rhine in general, its wine, its shipping, etc.
