INTRODUCTION not of lava, but of rich, life-giving soil, have been floating down for ages in the great river-ways of the Danube, Seine, Rhine, Rhone and Po, from the peak of STREAMS, Europe, to replenish the lands of France, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria and Italy. As a consequence of this erosion, both of glacier and river, this mighty peak, or mound, has been torn apart on every flank, rent into chasm and valley, mountain-side and cliff, to form the ramparts of the Alps, the citadel of Europe, of which is composed a large part of the Switzerland of to-day. Somewhere near the center of Asia were once erected the two pillars of the human race. From them issued forth great streams of humanity flowing to all parts of the earth ; one of these arrived, at some remote time, at the region of the Alps and formed settlements at the most convenient and strategic points. In the time of the Romans, citadels were built along the northern frontier as places of defense against the hostile Germanic tribes these were ; the beginnings of some of the cities of to-day, such as Berne and Solothurn on the Aare, and Basel on the Rhine. that we must look for It is not in these "citadels," however, the presence of the chalet, or its prototype. The chalet is rather the product of the outlying districts, the home of the agricultural and cattle-raising classes. The particular stream of humanity, which settled in modern Switzerland, has left behind it on its way from its starting place in Asia, a stream of habitations which, if it were in the power of human beings to discover and reveal, would set forth luminously the development from the ancient form of dwelling to the modern. In the Tyrolese Alps to the east of Switzerland, the dwellings are unmistakably of the same species as the Swiss Chalet. An ex- ample of a Tyrolese Chalet is given on page 15. Whether or not it would be possible to discover further to the east other links in the chain of chalet evolution, the fact remains that Viollet-le-Duc in "I'Histoire de ^habitation humaine" 13
