Excerpt from My Climbs in the Alps and CaucasusI fear no contributions to science, or topography, or learning Of any sort are to be found sandwiched in between the story Of crags and séracs, Of driving storm and perfect weather. TO tell the truth, I have only the vaguest ideas about theodolites, and as for plane tables, their very name is an abomi nation. TO those who think with me, who regard mountaineering as unmixed play, these pages are alone addressed. Should they, in some dim after glow fashion, reﬂect the joy and frolic Of sunshine holidays, their utmost mission will have been ac complished, and pride will mightily inﬂate their author.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
