Journal Of A Horticultural Tour Through Germany Belgium And Part Of France 1835

James Forbes' 'Journal of a Horticultural Tour' provides readers with a fascinating glimpse into the world of horticulture in the 19th century. Written in a detailed and observational style, the book highlights the author's keen eye for botanical beauty and his passion for exploring different landscapes and gardens. Forbes' literary context can be traced back to the Romanticism movement, as seen in his vivid descriptions of nature and his deep appreciation for the natural world. This journal not only serves as a practical guide for horticultural enthusiasts but also as a piece of literature that captures the essence of a bygone era. The author's eloquent prose and intimate knowledge of plants make this book a delightful read for those interested in botany and travel writing. James Forbes' own background as a botanist and plant collector undoubtedly led him to write this journal, drawing on his personal experiences and expertise to create a valuable resource for fellow gardeners and nature lovers. I highly recommend 'Journal of a Horticultural Tour' to anyone seeking a blend of botanical knowledge and literary flair in a captivating travelogue.

Excerpt: ...Lord George William Russell, kindly gave me a note of introduction to Sir John Frost, the late secretary of the Medico-Botanical Society of London, who was then residing at Baden, and practising as a physician. This gentleman furnished me with several notes of introduction, to some of his Botanical friends, and also kindly shewed me the different objects of interest about the town; amongst which was the fountain of mineral-water, so much celebrated, for various diseases. It is of a very high temperature; so much so, that I was unable to drink a glass of it, without first letting it cool; from the appearance of the fountain, one would imagine that a strong fire was burning under it. From the baths we proceeded to the castle garden, and from hence, a considerable way up the hill, where is a most delightful prospect of the town, and its very romantic scenery. The ohi castle forms a prominent object of attraction, which, with the tremendous precipices of rock, and plantations, render this spot the most picturesque that I had previously met with on my tOur through Germany. An excellent promenade, called the English garden, with neatly kept walks and pieces of lawn, is much frequented by the inhabitants and visitors. Situated in the promenade is a magnificent building called the "Conversation House," with numerous orange trees arranged in front of it. In the interior, I was much surprised to see in a very capacious room, splendidly furnished, a large concourse of ladies and gentlemen, during Sunday, very busy at the gambling tables; in fact the ladies appeared to be fully as expert gamblers as the gentlemen. I also made a visit to the convent, where two skeletons of saints decorated with numerous pearls, rings, and other costly...
