The Friend, 1896, Vol. 70

Excerpt from The Friend, 1896, Vol. 70: A Religious and Literary Journal I will tell you one thing, a more beautiful region can hardly be imagined, especially now that everything is green, the fruit trees in bloom, and the whole landscape smiling and gay. Most attractive of all to me, are the quaint, red tiled roofs of the villages, that are constantly showing themselves among the mass of foliage and bloom, and then as this region has played so important a part in the history of the country, there are numerous ivy ccv ered ruins and towers, as well as well-preserved castles and palaces. Among the latter none that I have seen are half so beautiful as many a. Private house - in Germantown, for instance - but when one speaks of historic interest there is no comparison.
