Excerpt from The Land of Teck and Its Neighbourhood Visited by English tourists; yet it is full of interest. It does not present scenery of stupendous majesty, but, for all that, scenery that is delightful. It is not always the large that is most beautiful. Hermia the puppet is as lovable as Helena the maypole. For richness of vegetation the valleys of the north-west of the Alb are unsurpassed. The red-tiled, timber-and plaster villages are always picturesque, the monu ments of architecture and sculpture are admir able, the geology especially interesting, and the botany varied. I have confined myself to a very small part of the Alb, the ancient Duchy Of Teck and its immediate surroundings, as being the portion from which the family derives its title, and especially dear to English hearts for having.
