Holidays in Eastern France is a travelogue written by Matilda Betham-Edwards. The book describes the author's journey through the eastern region of France during the 19th century. It is a detailed account of the author's travels, including descriptions of the landscape, architecture, and culture of the region.The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the region. The author covers topics such as the cities of Strasbourg and Nancy, the vineyards of Burgundy, and the mountains of the Vosges. She also includes information on the history of the region, as well as its customs and traditions.Throughout the book, the author provides vivid descriptions of the places she visits, including the people she meets and the food she eats. She also includes illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize the places she describes.Overall, Holidays in Eastern France is a fascinating travelogue that provides a glimpse into the region's past and present. It is a must-read for anyone interested in French history, culture, and geography.In the highly instructive map published by the French Minister of Instruction, Franche-Comte is marked white and Brittany black, thus denoting the antipodes of intellectual enlightenment and darkness to be found in the two countries. Here, indeed, we find ourselves in a wholly different world, so utterly has a spirit of inquiry revolutionized Eastern France, so long has her Western province been held in the grip of the priest. Furthermore, we have evidence of the zeal animating all classes with respect to education on every side.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
