Excerpt from The Alps of Hannibal, Vol. 1 of 2I left aix on the 17th September with renewed impulse to a favourite theme, preposing for my daughter and myseif a week's absence from my family, that we might cross the Little St. Bernard and return 'by the 001 de la Seigne and the valley of Beaufort. The result was calamitous: I made my first and last descent into Italy in a state of serious illness: for nine weeks I lay within gunshot of the great preelplce, without a hope of contemplating it. To avoid being snowed up for the winter at Courmayeur, I was at last moved slowly down the valley to seek a more favouring climate. So began and so ended the chance of contributing by personal investigation to a know ledge of the disputed track.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
