Excerpt from A Guide to the Pyrenees: Especially Intended for the Use of Mountaineers
The present edition is therefore considerably extended, and is, it is hoped, an improvement upon the previous one.
The details given of the towns, promenades, and places of historical association, will perhaps be thought meagre; but it must be 'borne in mind that this is a guide-book especially intended for mountaineers and botanists. I have, therefore, preferred to curtail description, and to devote the pages so gained to tables which I think all travellers will find of use.
These have been necessarily somewhat amplified, as I have thought it advisable to give one or two of them both in French and English measures. Indeed, one of the main difficulties experienced in writing a guide is the conflicting system of measures in use in England and m France. Those of the latter country being so much more simple, easy, and uniform; but it is very hard to get an English man to estimate heights and distances in metres.
