Nor is it on the great lines of travel. It is not touched by any railroad, and by steamers only at intervals of days, so that it has come to be known as a place which it is at once difficult to get to and to get away from. Hence easy-going travellers, who are content to take circular tickets and follow fixed routes, give Gibraltar the go-by, though by so doing they miss a place that is unique in the world - unique in position, in picturesqueness, and in history. That mighty Rock, standing out of the water and in the water, (as on the day when the Old world perished is one of the Pillars of Hercules, that once marked the very end of the world; and around its base ancient and modern history flow to gether, as the waters of the Atlantic mingle with those.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
