PREFACE
Of the four summers which the writer of this 'Chronicle of the Wayside and
Waterside' spent by Aquitanian rivers, the greater part of two provided the
impressions that were used in 'Wanderings by Southern Waters.' Although
the earlier pages of the present work, describing the wild district of the
Upper Dordogne, through which the author passed into Guyenne, belong, in
the order of time, to the beginning of his scheme of travel in Aquitaine,
the summers of 1892 and 1893, spent chiefly in Perigord and the Bordelais,
furnished the matter of which this volume is mainly composed. Hence the
title that has been given to it.
It may be thought that there is not a sufficient separation of interest,
geographically speaking, between the tracts of country described in the two
books.
