"I picture to myself the luckless American tourist in the hands of the commissaire, who professes to understand English, and who sticketh closer than a brother. That commissaire understands so much English as relates to one or two of the most commonplace legends or objects of interest in the city, but one step beyond that customary channel he flounders like a fish out of water, and at the end of the day the said American will have a confused idea of a procession of Francises, Hapsburgs, saints, and bishops careering through his bored brain, without leaving therein any clear traces of the history and character of the region he is in whatever.... The genesis of many of the institutions under which [the American] lives, the dawn of many familial fables and customs, the superstitions which he has inherited, are found here growing clearer as they approach their source. Old skeletons here gain flesh and blood." (Vienna, 1873.)
