I had prepared myself for your delectation with a copious tirade on German manners, German scenery, German art and the German stage on the lights and shadows of Innsbrueck, Munich, Nueremberg and Heidelberg; but just as I was about to put pen to paper I glanced into a little volume on these very topics lately published by that famous novelist and moralist, M. Ernest Feydeau, the fruit of a summer's observation at Homburg.
A glimpse, and no more than a glimpse, of the impression such visitors could carry away, we obtain in a letter written, in 1651, by a Nueremberg pastor, Christoph Arnold, to a friend at home: "The strenuous defender of the new regime, Milton, enters readily into conversation; his speech is pure, his written style very pregnant.
Ellingen, Stopfenheim, Absperg, Eschenbach, Nueremberg, Postbaur, Virnsperg, Oettingen, Dinkelspuehl, Ritzenhausen, Gelchsheim, were scenes of brutal outrage."
