Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mountain
Of the present volume, M. Michelet himself says, that the greater portion of it springs from our own travels, and relates what we ourselves have seen. It does not interfere with great scientific labours. It derives its interest from our friendly rela tions with that lofty Nature, so grand but so indulgent, which reveals itself willingly to those who sincerely love it. The reader will see with what a degree of intimacy we learned to admire the Patriarchs of the Alps. We cherish a grateful sentiment towards those august giants - those sublime mountains in Whose bosom we found ourselves so tenderly sheltered, and which so generously poured out to us their calm, profound, and serene soul.
