Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes of a Son and Brother It may again perhaps betray something of that incorrigible vagueness of current in our educational drift which I have elsewhere so unreservedly suffered to reflect itself that, though we had come abroad in 1855 with an eye to the then supposedly supreme benefits of Swiss schooling, our most resolute attempt to tap that supply, after twenty distractions, waited over to the autumn of the fourth year later on, when we in renewed good faith retraced our steps to Geneva. Our parents began at that season a long sojourn at the old Hotel de l´Ecu, which now erects a somewhat diminished head on the edge of the rushing Rhone its only rival then was the Hotel des Bergues opposite, considerably larger and commanding more or less the view of that profiled crest of Mont-Blanc which used to be so oddly likened to the head and face of a singularly supine Napoleon.
