Excerpt from The Boy Travellers in Southern Europe Adventures of Two Youths in a Journey Through, Italy, Southern France, and Spain: With Visits to Gibraltar and the Islands of Sicily and Malta In the preceding volume of this series (The Boy Travellers in Central Europe) we left our young friends at Buda-Pesth, where they had arrived from Vienna by way of the Danube. Having finished with their observations of the capital of Hungary, they were debating where to go next, and left the decision of the question to Mrs. Bassett and Mary. Having seen Northern and Central Europe, it was quite natural that Mrs. Bassett should desire to visit the countries bordering on the Mediterranean, and she promptly suggested that their faces should be turned in the direction of Italy. Mary supported with great earnestness her mother's proposition, and the arrangements for the journey were speedily made. The railway carried the party from Buda-Pesth to Trieste, and from the latter city to Venice, where our story opens. From Venice through Italy, and thence along their devious route till we leave the travellers at Gibraltar, Mrs. Bassett and Mary have been the constant companions of Frank and Fred, and have added materially to the interest of the journey. The former has continued to profit by her experiences of foreign lands and people, and the latter has shared with her brother and cousin in making note of what was seen, heard, and experienced day by day. Her prominence in the narrative is fully as great as it was in The Boy Travellers in Central Europe, and we are sure that the reader will admire, and possibly envy, her intelligence, her keenness of observation, and her constant determination to learn as much as possible of the countries through which she is passing. The scheme that has been followed in the preparation of the preceding volumes of "The Boy Travellers" is continued in the present narrative, and the readers of "Southern Europe" will find the same characters and the same form of conversation, note-taking, and recordkeeping that they found in "Great Britain and Ireland," "Northern Europe," and "Central Europe."
