Holidays On High Lands: Or Rambles And Incidents In Search Of Alpine Plants is a book written by Hugh Macmillan and originally published in 1873. The book is a travelogue that documents the author’s journey through the highlands of Europe and his search for rare and exotic alpine plants. Macmillan’s journey takes him through the Swiss Alps, the Tyrol, the Bavarian Highlands, and the Italian Alps, where he encounters a variety of landscapes, cultures, and people. Along the way, he describes the flora and fauna of the region, as well as the geology and history of the mountains. The book is richly illustrated with engravings and photographs, and includes detailed descriptions of the plants that Macmillan collected. Holidays On High Lands is a fascinating account of one man’s quest to explore the natural beauty of the Alps, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in botany, travel, or the history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
