Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Grant Allen´s Historical Guides: The Umbrian Towns The compilers of the following pages deeply regret that Mr. Grant Allen, who planned this series of Guide-Books, should not have lived to develop his ideas under his own hand. They had the privilege of seeing him at work upon the Guide to Venice, and had some opportunity of recognising the brilliant powers of observation, and the masterly skill in clear and simple exposition which he brought to bear upon the subject. Although they have been able only very imperfectly to appreciate and follow his example, they think it may be for the convenience of readers to summarise the aims originally in view. The book is not intended to take the place of such guides as those of Baedeker or Murray. It does not give information about the details of travel, nor does it notice all monuments irrespective of their merit or interest. In dealing with collections, the object has not been to furnish a catalogue, but to indicate the matters of essential interest, and, so far as is possible, to suggest the reason for this interest. An attempt has been made to give just enough historical tradition to enable the traveller to create for himself an atmosphere suitable to the objects which he is engaged in studying, and sufficiently detailed to suggest the place which they take in the general development of human interests.
