Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John L. Stoddard´s Lectures, Vol. 7 of 10: Illustrated and Embellished With Views of the World´s Famous Places and People, Being the Identical Discourses Delivered During the Past Eighteen Years Under the Title of the Stoddard Lectures The leading rivers of our globe have played a most important part in its development. They are more than mere currents of descending water. Ideas float along their surface. They have ever been the great boundaries of nations. They are the grand avenues of commerce. Their beds have been held sacred as the dwelling-places of gods. They form natural barriers to ambition, and halting-places for conquest. The destinies of mankind have, therefore, been determined by their channels. Their interest increases in proportion to the historic souvenirs which seem to mingle with their foam and murmur with their waves. In this sense one of the first among the world´s great rivers is the noble Rhine. Others can boast of greater breadth and volume, a longer distance traversed to the sea, and even mightier commerce borne upon their waves; but none, except the Nile, is richer in historic memories, and even that, from its remote antiquity, cannot appeal so closely to our sympathies.
