Synopsis
Excerpt from The Danube: Its History, Scenery, and Topography With respect to the numerous engraved Views, which illustrate this volume, the same talented Artists have been employed as in its predecessor, and the same effects been obtained, of uniting high finish with close resem blance to the originals. In addition to the eighty steel engravings, the text is further illustrated by nearly the same number of wood-cuts, which give a new and striking feature to the work, and render it, in point of pictorial embellishments, more rich and attractive than any Of the popular series yet issued by the same enterprising Publishers. Of these Illustrations, the greater portion was taken on the spot by M. Abresch, - a German artist of Well-known talent and reputation, -and drawn by Mr. Bartlett, 'who has also contributed various original views, interspersed throughout the work.

I have followed nearly the same plan as that which I first adopted in the Switzerland Illustrated; and for whatever scenes I have not described from actual observation, I have been studious to select the best authorities, both English and German: whilst my own manuscripts have, in several instances, been enriched by the graphic notes of Mr. Bartlett, taken during his recent voyage down the Danube. Keeping in view the picturesque character of the task, I have aimed at conciseness; and instead of loading the text with a weight of mere historical matter, I have endeavoured to lighten it with legends, traditions, anecdotes, and ballads, many of which are now, for the first time, printed from the original manuscripts. Of the great public establishments in these countries, I have had no cause to speak but with respect. The subject of politics I have purposely avoided: he who travels in search of the picturesque, admiring the scenery, and sharing the hospitality of the different states through which he passes, will find his time and taste more agreeably occupied, than in criticising the forms and peculiarities of governments, on which no stranger can judge correctly, till he has made the country, for some months at least, his home, and the laws by which it is governed his almost exclusive study. In this tour along the vast territories of the Danube, I have walked, so to speak, hand in hand with the Illustrator, directing my pen to the description of such points of its scenery as most forcibly arrested his pencil, and awakened the remembrance of deeds and circumstances which bore the stamp of history.
