Excerpt from Mountaineering Records When I first planned publishing some record of my sister's principal mountaineering tours, I thought I should have merely to select and copy from closely kept journals. I was very much disappointed to find that she had not begun to keep a journal during the ten years when she accomplished most. The record in small pocket-books is so closely written (often with bad ink) as to be very difficult to read, -an'd also so abridged that it hardly could be of general interest. The Matterhorn, the Dent Blanche, the Eiger, the Grand Paradis, etc., all belong to this period. Monte Cristallo was accomplished in 1888, but the journal of that year has been lost or mislaid. I have, however, the account of that ascent and some others in letters to a cousin, who has allowed me to take extracts and I thought it best to begin with these extracts, and some short accounts which my sister wrote herself for a friend. After this come some short extracts from a tour in 1883, when my sister began keeping a journal, but apparently she did not keep one every year. The tour of 1890 appeared to me very interesting, and I have 00pied the greater part of it. At the end is a list of the peaks and passes she had gone up and over, which my sister made herself.

Excerpt from Mountains and Mountain-Climbing: Records of Adventure and Enterprise Among the Famous Mountains of the World That it has strong attractions for the robust and hold; that it has been of good service to Science; and that it tends to cherish in the youth and manhood of a nation a chivalrous fearlessness and a heroic love of adventure. And hence we are inclined to hope that the following pages, descriptive as they are of the ascents of some of the world's most remark able mountains, will find an eager and a grateful public. They are intended not only for readers who have climbed mountains, but for those who wish they could climb them, or who are wisely of opinion that when they cannot climb in propria persond, the next best thing is to read about more fortunate enthusiasts. And then they are also intended for all who can sympathize with deeds of daring, or who find a rare enjoyment in studying descriptions of Nature's wilder, grander, and sublimer landscapes. For our little volume is dedicated not only to the mountain-climbers, but to the Mountains in all their high pure beauty and elevated mag.

Excerpt from Recollections of an Old Mountaineer As material for this book I have had my diaries of some twenty-six seasons, which were written up at the time. Having had to compress this long record into somewhat narrow limits, I have sacrificed rather the climbing part of my experiences than what might be of more interest to the general public. I can only hope that I have not made the climbing element too thin.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
