Notes continued: "The Ubii did something on the right bank of the Rhine at an early period, and afterwards were found on the other side. (Expect the Ubii were a tribe; but make sure of this, as they might be something in the fossil line.)

ou a rapid but glowing and eloquent word-picture of the valley of the Rhine from Cologne to Mayence. For background, I thought I would sketch in the historical and legendary events connected with the district, and against this, for a foreground, I would draw, in vivid colours, the modern aspect of the scene, with remarks and observations thereon. Here are my rough notes, made for the purpose:-- Mems. for Chapter on Rhine: "Constantine the Great used to come here--so did Agrippa. (N.B.--Try and find out something about Agrippa.) Caesar had a good deal to do with the Rhine--also Nero's mother." (To the reader.--The brevity of these memoranda renders their import, at times, confusing. For instance, this means that Caesar and Nero's mother both had a good deal to do with the Rhine; not that Caesar had a good deal to do with Nero's mother. I explain this because I should be sorry to convey any false impression concerning either the lady or Caesar. Scandal is a thing abhorrent to my nature.) ILY I STARTED WITH THE IDEA OF GIVING YOU A RAPID BUT GLOWING AND ELOQUENT WORD PICTURE OF THE VALLEY OF THE RIDE FROM COLOGNE TO MY AUNT FOR BACKGROUND I THOUGHT I WOULD SKETCH IN THE HISTORICAL AND LEGENDARY EVENTS CONNECTED WITH THE DISTRICT AND AGAINST THIS FOR A FOREGROUND I WOULD DRAW IN VIVID COLOURS THE MODERN ASPECT OF THE SCENE WITH REMARKS AND OBSERVATIONS THEREON HERE ARE MY ROUGH NOTES MADE FOR THE PURPOSE MEMS FOR CHAPTER ON RHINE CONSTANTINE THE GREAT USED TO COME HERE SO DID AGRIPPA N B TRY AND FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT AGRIPPA CAESAR HAD A GOOD DEAL TO DO WITH THE RHINE ALSO NERO'S MOTHER TO THE READER THE BREVITY OF THESE MEMORANDA RENDERS THEIR IMPORT AT TIMES CONFUSING FOR INSTANCE THIS MEANS THAT CAESAR AND NERO'S MOTHER BOTH HAD A GOOD DEAL TO DO WITH THE RHINE NOT THAT CAESAR HAD A GOOD DEAL TO DO WITH NERO'S MOTHER I EXPLAIN THIS BECAUSE I SHOULD BE SORRY TO CONVEY ANY FALSE IMPRESSION CONCERNING EITHER THE LADY OR CAESAR SCANDAL IS A THING ABHORRENT TO MY NATURE
