Excerpt from Mount Eryx and Other Diversions of TravelPart II of the book is A Tour to Mount Eryx in 1920. So that the two parts of the book are divided by the war, which interrupted and disorganized so many undertakings.In July, 1921, I went again to Varallo after several years' absence. All Butler's old friends are now dead except Bertoli, the bee-master. He is seventy-eight, in failing health, but still cheery and interested in his bees and in many other topics. I found nothing which caused me to want to alter anything that I have written but I should like to add that Butler's sketch, which I gave to the town, is now located in the room of the organist on the Sacro Monte. It is signed S. Butler, Augt and shows the old front of the church on the Mountain before Costantino Durio gave them the new facciata. It is the sketch referred to in the text as showing the Resurrection Fountain, and was made from near the stone which is said to be such an exact facsimile of the Stone which was rolled away from the Holy Sepulchre.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
