The plan of th^se serial annotated maps v/as originated by
the Director on his passage from New York to Hamburg with
the Class of 1876. The execution of them on stone was en-
trusted to Herr Theodore Delius, of Berlin, one of the first
map-makers in the world, and hence their accuracy may be
relied upon. Besides these half-page serial maps, three two-
page double maps have been prepared, presenting bird's-eye
views of the entire route taken by the Classes of the Academy,
but by some accident, are not ready for publicatioh in this
edition.

The delivery of these maps had been confidently expected
during the past June or July, but many untoward circum-
stances have delayed them till the following January, hence it
has been impossible to incorporate them as had been designed,
into a number of the International Academy Journal, or to
present them with a more complete system of annotations, but
both of these will be attained in a subsequent edition. It will
be readily perceived that the course of travel of the Class is
always presented from the top to bottom of the page, the
lowest part of each page connecting with the top of the next,
and the points of the compass and the relative distances are
indicated by a little compass placed on each map, and a scale
of English miles that is altered as often as the gradation of the
maps is changed.

This is but the commencement of a much more complete
system of illustrations of the routes of the Classes of the Inter-
national Academy, which the Director trusts to be able to pre-
sent to the public in the course of two or three years. But it
is to be hoped that even these may be of no small service, both to
those anticipating the tour, and to the student during the route
of travel.

ADRIAN J. EBELL, Director,

Ebell International Academy.

1^^ At the end of the Serial Maps is added a Prospectus
and Itinerary for 1^']'], giving full details in relation to route,
dates, terms, etc.

The steamer passes HELiaOLAND, the
smallest of British possessions. Ceded to
England by Denmark in 1814.



Leaving the small watering place CUX-
HAFEN behind us, we pass STADE,

acted by the kings of Hanover. Farther
np the river lies the lofty promontory of
BLANKENESE with its beautiful villas
embos med in verdure.

POTSDAM, with its numerous palaces,
royal villas, picture-gallery, parks and
gardens, we visit during our stay in
BERLIN. Passing the small fortress-
town SPANDAU we reacli the German
capital.

BERLIN, the usual residence of the Gor-
man Emperor and court, lias a population
of about a million witlioiit reckoning the
smaller places by which it is surrounded.
It is a handsome and well built city. Its
university has produced many or the
greatest scholars the world has seen, and
its educational advantages are unrivalled.

.IrLoermiui dc




The museum is a splendid institution in
every point of view, and its principal
streets and squares are adorned with mas-
ter-pieces ofstatuary and figures in bronze
executed or modelled by Eauch, Schluter,
Kiss, Wolif, Blaser, Drake, etc. It has a
fine opera, and presents daily opportu-
nities of hearing first-class music. Great
military reviews take place from time
to time in the immediate vicinity.

CHARLOTTENBURG, with its interesting
old castle and the famous Mausoleum of
Frederick William III. and Queen Louise
byRauch, is united to Berlin byatramway.

To POTSDAM there are trains at almost
every hour of the day.

Small steamers ply in summer on the river
between BERLIN and KOPENIGK. A
few miles to the north of the city are
the castle and park of TEGEL, the birth-
place and last resting-place of the two
Humboldts.

Two diiferent lines of rail conduct from
BERLIN to DRESDEN, the „Florence
on the Elbe", so celebrated for its splen-
did picture-gallery, the dazzling treasures
in its Green Vault, the collections in the
Japanese Palace, its porcelain-manufac-
tory, the historical and other museums
in the Z w i n g e r, and its exquisitely beauti-
ful neighbourhood. From this fine city,
the capital ofSaxony, we follow the course
of the Elbe (ascending the stream) till
we have pa sed tlie Austrian frontier
and entered Bohemia. The railway runs



Vetschenirocla,



^adeia



DRESDEN




ihrongh the beautiful and very peculiar
scenery of the „Saxon Switzerland" and
touches PIRN A, theBASTEI, the fortress
of KONIGSTEIN, and many other in-
teresting spots. Soon after entering Bo-
hemia we take a westerly direction, and
next pause at one of the great vratering-
places, TOPLITZ or CAELSBAD. They
are botli distinguished for tlieir natural
hot springs, their charming promenades,
delightful environs, and the great nmnber
of the fashionable visitors they attact
durino- the season.



We continue our way parallel with the
Elbe almost to its confluence with the
Moldau, and then along the left bank of
the latter river to PRAGUE, the capital
of Bohemia and the second city in the
German dominions of Austria. Its fine
situation on the broad Moldau excited
the admiration of Alexander Humboldt.
From its great number of tovfers and
spires it has got the name of ,,the Aus-
trian Moscow". The Cathedral of St.
Vitus contains the magnificent tomb of
St. John of Nepomuck, of massive silver,
weighing a ton and a half. Among the
many other buildings of great historical
interest are the palace on the Hradschin,

where the proceedings took place that
brought on the Thirty Years' War, and the
palace of the celebrated but unfortunate
Wallenstein. On the east side of the
town is a hill, where the famous Hussite
leader Ziska defeated the emperor Si-
gismund in 1420. Prague also possesses
many fine statues and monuments, espe-
cialy Hahnel's monument to the Em-
peror Charles IV., Platzer's St. John of
Nepomuck, and the monument to the Em-
peror Francis by Kraaner and Max. The
famous battle of Prague was gained here
by Frederick the Great over the Aus-
trians in 1757. SADOVA or KONIG-
GRATZ, the scene of a still more deci-
sive Prussiaa victory, lies at some dis-
tance to the north-east of Prague, The po-
pulation of the Bohemian capital is about
200,000. South of Prague, and on the
way to VIENNA, we pass TABOE, built
and fortified by the Hussites under Ziska
in 1419. It has at present about 5000
inhabitants.




A short time before reaching VIENNA, we
cross the „dark-brown Danube" and glide I
along to KIoster-Neuburg, where we are I
just opposite the two battle-fields ofi
ASPERN and WAGRAM, the latter a !
little farther back than the former, the
one the scene of Napoleon's defeat,
the other, that of his triumph. In ,
VIENNA, which was the capital of the <:
German empire from 1619 till 1806, there
is much to be seen, especially the mu- '
seums and galleries in the Hofburg or
Imperial Palace, the fine picture-gallery
in the Belvedere Palace, the venerable
cathedral of St. Stephen's, the Augustine
church with Canova's monument to the




Arcliduchess Maria Christina of Sacliseii-
Teschen, the favorite daughter of Maria
Theresa, the Capuchin Church and Vault
of the Imperial Family, the private pic-
ture-galleries, the Prater or great park,
the fine views from the Leopoldsberg
and the Kahlenberg, and the celebrated
palace of SCHONBRUNN on^^the south
side of the city.

with mineral springs, much frequented
by the Viennese in summer. |i*i ^

pass, at an elevation of 3,066 feet above
the level of the sea. This part of the
line has 15 viaducts and 15 tunnels.

from this point direct to Venice; but
the approa- h to the latter city by water

incomparably grander and more striking
than the route by land and the entrance
