Excerpt from Journal of a Landscape Painter in Corsica, 1876, Vol. 1
A certain monotony of narrative must needs be the result Of monotony of travel; and the recital of a tour made in a carriage, cannot, I imagine, be made very attractive, if the writer simply records his own impressions. Many of the illustrations, however, were made in short pedestrian excursions, particularly in the forests, at some distance from the high road.
One drawback to my visit, but one I could not avoid, was its shortness far too little time was devoted to delineating so large a space of country.
