Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of a Spring Tour in Portugal: With a Chapter on the Birds of Portugal, and a List of 235 Species Carefully Determined If anyone will be at the pains to look back twenty years, and compare the amount of foreign travel in which our countrymen at that date indulged with the touring which prevails at present, he can hardly fail to be surprised at the enormous, rapid, and continued rate of increase in the development of what now may almost be called a passion of the English nation. The immediate cause which has so violently excited British restlessness, and so vehemently promoted foreign travel, has unquestionably been the extension of railways, which now form a network over the principal portions of Europe, and which offer such great facilities to tourists; and which, by diminishing the inconveniences and fatigue of travel, have, to a great extent, annihilated time and space, and enabled the infirm, the delicate, and even the confirmed invalid, to encounter distant journeys, without alarm at the demands on physical endurance, which even a slight trip used formerly to entail.
