Excerpt from The Riviera: Pen and Pencil Sketches From Cannes to Genoa

HE rapid course of events since the following pages were written has put some remarks in them out of date. Who would have imagined, as late as Midsummer of this year, that the route to Marseilles and Nice, through Paris, would before Michaelmas have become a thing of the past? Who could have expected that the misrule of ages on the banks of the Tiber would have come to an end, with its Imperial upholder, -melted away as with a breath, unregretted and almost unenquired for?

But Nature remains unchanged, and it is mainly Nature with which I am concerned.

The fair coast which is the subject of these sketches is as yet untouched by war; but it likewise has its aspirations, for which it would even pay the price of conflict. Only by an Imperial juggle have Nice and Mentone become vassals of France. The whole face of the land, the whole breath of the climate, the whole spirit of the people, are Italian; and by any French government which sets about redressing the wrongs of the Empire, to Italy they must be restored.
