In the various countries wherein I have happened to be a temporary resident I have felt great interest in the acquisition of such knowledge as might be within my reach with respect to the genius and the effects of their established institutions. Without the slightest idea of publication I continued the same line of inquiry during my stay in the Austrian dominions. Circumstances of a peculiar nature favoured my pursuit and on my last return to England I found myself possessed of much information tending to elucidate a variety of points hitherto as it appeared to me very imperfectly understood and leading also to views both as to the government and the people materially different from those which I had myself in common probably with most of my countrymen previously entertained. Thus in the order now adopted the first volume contains the Narrative of Travels being remarks and reflections made in the course of our journey through the most interesting parts of Bohemia the states of Austria and Styria the Illyrian Provinces and the Peninsula of Istria - including besides the more prominent objects of general interest notices of the antiquities and present condition of Pola of the commercial ports of Fiume and Trieste of the monastic establishments of Admont Moelk and Mariazell of the mines of Idria and of Carlsbad Gastein and other principal Baths - together with some account of the exiled royal family of France who were then residing in the vicinity of Prague. [...] This book is a reprint of the original published work from 1840.
