Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

France whose shores are starred with great cities, whose waters have mirrored Gallic boats, Roman galleys, Norman fleets, English galleons, and, in our day, have harbored the worlds ships that have saved the world of this river of France, famed since before Caesar looked out upon it through the silken curtains of his litter how many soldiers, how many travelers know its true beauties? The Seine is really the unknown river. It is the Rhine rather than the Seine that tourists, hitherto, have felt impelled to traverse. We have all been brought up, indeed, to believe the Rhine was the true river of romance. Each castle we passed on this river the Germans call Father Rhine was the Lorelei that sang seductively of elves and fairies.
