Excerpt from The Roof of France: Or the Causses of the Lozère
The affability, dignity, and uprightness of these mountaineers, their freedom from vulgarity, subservience, or habits of extortion, their splendid physique and great personal beauty, form novel experiences of travel. The general character Of the people - here I do not allude to the 'causse nard,' or dweller on the Causse alone, buti to the Lozérien as a type - may be gathered from one isolated fact. The summer sessions of 1888 were what is called assz'zes élancnes, there being not a single cause to try. Such an occurrence is not unusual in this department.

Excerpt from The Roof of France: Or the Causses of the Lozère
It is upon this occasion my rare and happy privilege to introduce the reader to something absolutely new. How many English-speaking tourists have found their way to the Roof of France - in other words, the ancient Gevaudan, the romantic department of the Lozere? How many English - or for the matter of that French travellers either - have so much as heard of the Causses, those lofty tablelands of limestone, groups of a veritable archipelago, once an integral whole, now cleft asunder, forming the most picturesque gorges and magnificent defiles; offering contrasts of scenery as striking as they are sublime, and a phenomenon unique in geological history?
