The Pyrenees (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Pyrenees<br><br>If I have admitted such petty details as the times of trains and the cost of a journey from London it is because I have found those petty details to be of the first importance to myself as indeed they must be to all those who have but little leisure. I have in everything attempted to set down only that which would be really useful to a man on foot or driving in that country and only that which he could not easily obtain in other books. Thus I have carefully set down directions as minute as possible for finding particular crossings and camping grounds for the finding of which the ordinary Guide Book is of no service. My chief regret is that the book will necessarily be too bulky to carry in the pocket; for it is meant to be not so much a lively as an accurate companion to the general exploration of those high hills which have given me so much delight.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
