Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Somerset Sketch-Book ON the northern side of Mendip there is a narrow valley winding inland a long way, very little above sea-level; on the other side there is a wide plain, equally low, stretching to the sea, and in the middle of this the Mend Hills rise sheer up like a wall into the sky. 80 steep is their ascent that looking across the valley you are inclined to wonder how any wheeled thing ever gets up there, and indeed how the houses manage to cling to the sides without sliding down altogether. The fairy-tales of our youth used to tell of a hill of glass which had to be crossed by the bold adventurer; in winter the sides of Mendip are rather like that enchanted mountain. And when you do get to the top, past the house where the bladder-fern grows, the place looks as if, though not actually fairyland, it were very near the borders thereof. Mendip is a great tableland, bare and wide, a lonely, windy place of rolling fields and long walls of mortarless grey stone, and there is always a great deal more sky than anything else to be seen there, because until you get near the edge of the plateau you cannot see the country below at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Sketch-Book and Diary I have an idea of writing to you, most sympathetic Reader, of certain days and nights of my travels that have impressed themselves with peculiar force upon my memory, and that have mostly rolled by since you and I set out, at the Parting Of the Ways, from the paternal roof-tree, within three months of each other. First, I want to take you to the Wild West Land of Ireland, to a glen in Kerry, where, so far, the tourist does not come, and then on to remote Clew Bay, in the County Mayo. After that, come with me up the Nile in the time that saw the close of the Gordon Relief Expedition, when the sailing Dahabieh, most fascinating of house-boats, was still the vogue for those who were not in a hurry, and when again the tourist (of that particular year) was away seeking safer picnic grounds elsewhere. Then to the Cape and the voyage thither, which may not sound alluring, but where you may find something to smile at. I claim your indulgence, wherever I ask you to accompany me, for my painter's literary crudities; but nowhere do I need it more than in Italy, for you have trodden that field with me almost foot by foot. The veil to which I trust for softening those asperities elsewhere must fall asunder there. I have made my Diary, and in the case of the Egyptian chapters, my letters to our mother, the mainsprings from which to draw these reminiscences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Sketches: From the "Sketch Book" The residence Of people of fortune and refinement in the country has diffused a degree Of taste and elegance in rural economy, that descends to the lowest class. The very laborer, with his thatched cottage and narrow slip Of ground, attends to their embellishment, The trim hedge, the grass-plot before the door, the little flower-bed bordered with snug box, the wood bine trained up against the wall, and hanging its blossoms about the lattice, the pot Of flowers in the window, the holly, provi dently planted about the house, to cheat winter Of its dreariness, and to throw in a semblance Of green summer to cheer the fire side: all these bespeak the influence Of taste, flowing down from high sources, and pervading the lowest levels Of the pub lic mind. If ever Love, as poets sing, delights to visit a cot tage, it must be the cottage Of an English peasant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He wears a broad-brimmed, low-crowned hat a huge roll of colored handkerchief about his neck, knowingly knotted and tucked in at the bosom; and has in summer-time a large bou quet of flowers in his button-hole the present most probably, of some enamored country lass. His waistcoat is commonly Of some bright color, striped, and his small-clothes extend far below the knees, to meet a pair ofjockey-boots which reach about half way up his legs.

These sketchy performances, although favoured with critical praise far beyond their pretensions or deserts, have in some instances been blamed for pungency of. Satire, and in some for a character of levity. To both charges the writer is Willing to plead guilty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from At Home and Abroad: A Sketch-Book of Life, Scenery and Men Nature played all sorts Of wild and picturesque pranks with the property. Two heaps Of stones were all that marked the site of the house and barn; half a dozen ragged plum and peach trees hovered around the outskirts of the vanished garden, the melancholy survivors Of all its bloom and fruitage and a mixture Of tall sedge-grass, sumacs, and blackberry bushes covered the fields. The hawthorn hedges which lined the lane had disappeared, but some clumps of privet still held their ground, and the wild grape and scarlet-berried celastrus clambered all over the tall sassafras and tulip-trees.
