A July Holiday in Saxony, Bohemia, and Silesia

A July Holiday in Saxony, Bohemia, and Silesia is by Walter White, author of A Londoner's Walk to the Land's End and On Foot Through Tyrol. A Kellner takes the narrator’s knapsack and leads the narrator high up to a small homely-furnished room on the third floor, in which, however, the quality of cleanliness was not wanting. The narrator enjoys a pint of the Stein wine, for which the neighbourhood is famous, and says that with vineyards producing such wine around them, it is little wonder that the Prince-Bishops were always ready to fight for their good city of Würzburg.

The text says there is more of life, more to interest the attention in Würzburg, than in some places which are much more frequented and talked of. The text describes a portrait of a warrior as a miserable painting, very much in the signboard style, in which you can yet mark the breadth of shoulder beneath the gleaming corslet. The text says the Seven Years' War, that brought misery to so many places, worked favourably for Herrnhut, and that in one day a hundred officers visited the place.
