Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Rhine Then the sound of a melodious female voice Speaking the English language fell On my ears. I looked round. A girl was bending over a book, and entertaining her father and mother by reading something of Special interest and beauty. I listened and recognised some of my own sentences rendered into the speech of Shakespeare. These three were learning to feel the glamour of the Lorelei legend as I had felt it. I confess my pulse beat quicker as I heard my poor endeavours highly praised, and I could not refrain from advancing and thanking the young reader for her kindly appreciation. She seemed delighted when she discovered that I was the author, and rose to greet me in the most amiable manner. I complimented the travellers on the fact, that during the last century the Rhine seemed to have become for the English people that home of romance which we Germans sought to find in Italy. The girl smiled, and remarked that I must pay that compliment to her mother in particular, as she was by birth an English woman. But the head of the family hastened to add that among Americans, whom he might speak for, the enthusiasm for the beauties of the Rhine was not less than among their anglo-saxon cousins. These two nations which are bound by so many ties to each other, and also to ourselves, were thus represented before me. The English-speaking people undoubtedly form by far the largest contingent of our Rhine travellers, and it was pleasant indeed to receive so fine a testimonial to the beauties of my homeland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hero Tales and Legends of the Rhine But it is not contended that because greater space and freedom of narrative scope than is usual has been taken by the author the volume would not prove itself an accept able companion upon a voyage on Rhine waters under taken in holiday times Of peace. Indeed, every attempt has been made so to arrange the legends that they will illustrate a Rhine journey from sea to source - the manner in which the majority Of visitors to Germany will make the voyage - and to this end the tales have been marshalled in such form that a reader sitting on the deck of a Rhine steamer may be able to peruse the legends relating to the various localities in their proper order as he passes them. There are included, however, several tales relating to places which cannot be viewed from the deck of a steamer, but which may be visited at the cost Of a Short inland ex cursion. These are such as from their celebrity could not be omitted from any work on the legends of Rhineland, but they are few in number.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legends of the Rhine: From Basle to Rotterdam On the Rhine blooms fine life! From the Destruction's dust, The Ancestor's spirits strife, Which long were the Graves' rust; And songs there resound With harmonious stream, In the spirit again found, And again must I dream. See I the birds flying High the blue air through, See I the ships striving In distant grey-fog anew, Is me, as if in flight The birds words sing, As in quick despite To ships others cling. Spirit-words on the moor And quick moving flood; There round the Convent-door, Where Pilgrims once stood - And the Ivy branch waves, So high and sadly wild Binds tendrils round the graves There tone fairy songs so mild.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Rhine: And of the Low Countries The following stories were gathered from various sources, and Some of them freely adapted from the literature of the countries where the scenes are laid. Brabant and Flanders, so fertile in subjects of romantic history, and of which the author has availed himself in previous productions, have furnished materials for some of those included in the present publication. The "Bijdragen tot het oude Strafregt in Belgie," and the "Chroniques et Traditions Surnaturelles de la Flandre," works not readily accessible in England, have been freely borrowed from; and in selecting from the German Legendary Tales the authors chief object was to pass over such as turned on magic and enchantment, and to choose those which embodied motives or passions merely mortal. He has admitted but one exception to this rule; and that only because human feeling was there predominant over fairy spells. One of the Rhine Stories had been already made the subject of a poem, the author's earliest literary attempt, and which he soon suppressed. For one or two others contained in the present volume, it might not be easy to give any other authority. But it is hoped they will be read with that confiding good faith which prefers taking things for granted to sifting evidence or comparing proofs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heidenmauer, or the Benedictines: A Legend of the Rhine There was still abundant evidence visible at Brussels, of the fierce nature of the struggle that had expelled the Dutch. Forty-six shells were sticking in the side of a single building of no great size, while ninety-three grape shot were buried in one of its pilasters! In our own rooms, too, there were fearful signs of war. The mirrors were in fragments, the walls broken by langrage, the woodwork of the beds was pierced by shot, and the furniture was marked by rude encounters. The trees of the park were mutilated in a thousand places, and one Of the little Cupids, that we had left laughing above the principal gate three years before, was now maimed and melancholy, whilst its companion had altogether taken ight on the wings Of a cannon-ball. Though dwelling in the very centre of so many hostile vestiges, we happily escaped the sight Of human blood; for we understood from the obliging Swiss who presides over the hotel that his cellars, at all times in repute, were in more than usual request during the siege. From so much proof we were left to infer, that the Belgians had made stout battle for their emancipation, one sign at least that they merited to be free.
