Excerpt from Well-Worn Roads of Spain, Holland, and Italy: Traveled by a Painter in Search of the Picturesque These Sketches are the record of some idle days spent in rambling about odd places, and into iquaint nooks, and along well-worn roads of travel. They contain no information of any value to anybody. They are absolutely bare of statistics, are entirely useless as a guide to travelers, and can be of no possible benefit to a student desirous Of increasing his knowledge either of foreign architecture, mediaeval art, poli tics, or any kindred subject. They are not arranged in any order, have no specific bearing one upon the other, and are, in short, the merest outline of what one may see and hear who keeps both his eyes and his ears wide Open.
