Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edinburgh Revisited The text of this book is the impressions and opinions formed during a visit to Edinburgh in 1910 after a long stay in the South. Remembering R. L. Stevenson, Alexander Smith, and Robert Chambers, and in recent years the admirable and intimate works by Mr. John Geddie and Miss Rosaline Masson, the writer is aware of the audacity of writing a new book about Edinburgh. He would urge as his reasons why it should not be classed as a volume of the Superfluous Book Library, that during many hurried but extensive explorations through the interiors of the Old Town buildings, he acquired some idea of what relics of elegance and harmony really remain in the homes built for the Old Edinburgh gentry, and now tenanted by the very poor, and of the attitude of the present tenants towards these relics - a side of Edinburgh study which, so far as he knows, has not been dealt with except by a few references in architectural books and in the reports of Edinburgh´s many charitable societies.
