Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Cyrilla, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tale H undreds of English travellers pass through Salz burg every summer many of them having previously gone over a considerable portion of this earth's peri phery in that silent business-like manner which, on the continent of Europe, is supposed to be peculiar to their nation; not a few after having arrived at the melancholy conviction that they have already seen too much to be surprised or particularly pleased by any country left for them to explore. Yet the feelings must be blunted in an unusual degree, if that most beautifully situated town make no lasting impression on the mind, when seen in all the glory of an nu clouded summer's day. The range of mountains that form the horizon, and from which the snow seldom altogether disappears, is near enough to realize in a few hours the dreams of the most imaginative pe destrian, in gigantic rocks, thundering torrents, dark lakes, and narrow secluded valleys. Mountains, too, are the natural fortifications of the town itself, the solid rock forming a part in the construction of many of the houses, while forest trees grow luxuriantly among the crags above their roofs.
