    A Year in Europe

    ayear IN Europe 'By WALTER W. MOORE, D. D., LL. D. President of Union Theological Seminary in Virginia THIRD EDITION RICHMOND, VIRGINIA QIIlP Pr?Bbgtmmt Qlommitt^f of ^ubltratton 1905 3 q^^ I NOV Copyrighted BY WALTER W. MOORE, 1904. Printed by Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, Va. A YEAR IN EUROPE. TO /ID^ Xlraveling Companions This Book is Dedicated as a memento OF HAPPY DAYS IN THE OlD WoRI.D. FOREWORD. The only excuse I have to offer for the publication of these desultory and chatty letters in this more per- manent form is that a number of my friends have requested it. Many of the letters have already ap- peared in the columns of The Children's Friend, for which they were originally written, at the instance of the Presbyterian Committee of Publication ; but I have included in the volume several letters which were written for other periodicals, and a considerable num- ber which have not been published anywhere till now. Some of them were written hastily, and, as it were, on the wing, others with more deliberation and care. Some were intended for young readers, others for older people. This will account for the differences of style and subject matter which will strike every one, and which will be particularly noticeable when the letters are read consecutively. In some cases I have drawn the materials, in part, from other sources besides my own observations, the main object at times being not originality, but accuracy and fullness of information. In such cases I have endeavored to make full acknowledgment of my in- debtedness to other writers.

  • Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction

    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction

    Amsterdam, Netherlands Overview Introduction Tell anyone you're going to Amsterdam and there's a fair chance they'll either sigh with envy or give you a sly nod. Amsterdam's reputation for tolerance laced with sin precedes it, but equally renowned are its scenic and cultural attractions. Amsterdam hotels are known for their cleanliness and hospitality, its restaurants offer world cuisine, and along the city streets is a shopper's paradise. Most visitors fall in love with the city and return again and again. Amsterdam is nourished by a wealth of museums, concert halls, and avant-garde theater and dance venues. Its relaxed and tolerant attitudes draw those looking for a creative, anything-goes atmosphere. Large numbers of beautiful tree-lined canals are bordered by streets with rows of narrow, gabled houses and 17th-century warehouses, making Amsterdam an architectural treasure trove. Amsterdam is much smaller in population (but no less interesting) than many European capitals. As a result, much of the city center can be comfortably explored on foot—or, if you want to look like a true local, by bicycle. Highlights Sights—The Westerkerk (West Church) on the Prinsengracht and the spectacular view from its tower; gabled mansions on the 17th-century canal ring inside the Singelgracht; the Anne Frank Huis; the Red Light District; Amsterdam-Noord. Museums—Rembrandts at the Rijksmuseum; the Van Gogh Museum; the Stedelijk Museum. Memorable Meals—Smoked eel at Haesje Claes; french fries with mayonnaise or peanut-butter sauce from the rear end of the Albert Cuyp Markt; rijsttafel at Tempo Doeloe; salted or pickled herring from one of the fish stands along the canals; traditional Dutch fare at Moeders; international dishes from Food Hallen.

The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small- scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils.
