Preface: Several visits to the interesting and picturesque Republic of Czechoslovakia, one of these quite recently,has only served to confirm the first impression which we gained, that for beauty, historic, architectural and scenic interest it may justly claim a ve high position among what are commonly known as "holiday" or tourist countries It has several ancient towns of note,and in its capital city Praha, or, as it is usually known, Prague, possesses one of the most beautiful in Europe. A much travelled friend once said, "No one is ever disappointed in Prague," and to this we willingly subscribe, with the additional remark that no one is likely to tire of Prague. Its charm, brightness and beauty give it an atmosphere quite its own.
