PREFATORY NOTE

The Author's gratitude is due to many people in connexion with this
book--to Bishop Nicholas of Zicca and the Rev. Hugh Chapman, of the
Savoy, and Col. Treloar and Major-General Sir Fabian Ware, and the
Editor of the "Narodny Listi," at Prague, and Mr. Hyka,--to these and
many others who helped a traveller on his way.

The letters from each capital were published in "Country Life" under
the general title of _Quo Vadis Europa?_ A few after-thoughts have now
been written on "Extra Leaves," and sewn in between these letters.

No effort at an exhaustive study of any country is made here. The
object of the author was to make a rapid tour from capital to capital,
"keeping the taxi waiting," so to say, and thus obtain an idea of
Europe as a whole. It is perhaps one of the first books of travel
written from the point of view of Europe as a unity, and it is hoped it
will help to make us all good Europeans.
