Excerpt from A Little Journey to Germany: For Intermediate and Upper Grades, Part I, North Germany, Part II, the Rhineland In the practical arts and sciences it is away ahead of us all. We are going to Germany to see its sights: its cities full of imposing buildings, parks, palaces and art galleries; its curious old towns and fine old castles where great events have left their mark these thou sand years; its lovely scenery along the Rhine and Danube rivers - bits of country rich in legend; its ancient forests, and quaint villages, and well-tilled farm lands; and busy factories, and mines, and canals, and harbors, and docks; and its people. Some one has said that the German nation is composed of people, soldiers, and students. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
