A Ride Across the Peloponnese

A Ride Across the Peloponnese by George MacMillan

A Ride Across the Peloponnese by George MacMillan

In the spring of 1877, a young Oscar Wilde visited Greece with his classics professor, J. P. Mahaffy, and two friends. One of these friends, George Macmillan, wrote a brief account of the party’s ride across the Peloponnese. The account, without mentioning Wilde by name, records the travelers’ first impressions of the newly excavated sites of ancient Olympia, Argos, and Mycenae. It also includes colorful descriptions of the Arcadian mountains and flora, and of Greek customs and dress.

Travels in New Zealand With Contributions to the Geography, Geology, Botany, and Natural History of That Country, Vol. 1 by Ernst Dieffenbach

Travels in New Zealand With Contributions to the Geography, Geology, Botany, and Natural History of That Country, Vol. 1 by Ernst Dieffenbach

Johann Karl Ernst Dieffenbach (aka Ernest) traveled to New Zealand between 1839 and 1841 employed by the New Zealand Company as naturalist. He traveled in the Marlborough Sounds at the top of the South Island and extensively throughout the North Island at an early time in European settlement. In Volume I of “Travels in New Zealand” he describes his travels, integrating his observations of the natural world with the progress of colonisation, and a humane account of the Māori people that he met and their culture, settlements and inter-tribal politics. He made an important contribution to the early knowledge of the New Zealand flora and fauna, with his collections eventually being lodged in the British Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Thrilling Adventures by Land and Sea

Thrilling Adventures by Land and Sea by James O. Brayman

Thrilling Adventures by Land and Sea by James O. Brayman

There is in the adventures of the daring and heroic, something that interests all. There is a charm about them which, while it partakes of the nature of Romance, does not exercise the same influence upon the mind or heart. When there are noble purposes and noble ends connected with them, they excite in the mind of the reader, noble impulses.
