Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cornwall To the mind of the ordinary Briton there is a curious attraction in getting as far as you can a streak in mentality Which has accounted in no small degree for the world-wide Empire. In England you cannot in one direction get any farther than the extreme point of Cornwall. Owing to the geographical configuration of Cornwall, the idea is magnified very vigorously into a really gallant effort to get there, such as might be made by an individual stretching out not only to his full stride, but indulging in a good kick! We feel in very truth we have got there, on to the edge of something or somewhere. As Wilkie Collins expresses it, the Land's End is the sort of place where the last man in England would be most likely to be found waiting for death at the end of the world!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Unsentimental Journey Through Cornwall I believe in holidays. Not in a frantic rushing about from place to place, glancing at everything and observing nothing; flying from town to town, from hotel to hotel, eager to "do" and to see a country, in order that when they get home they may say they have done it, and seen it. Only to say; - as for any real vision of eye, heart, and brain, they might as well go through the world blindfold. It is not the things we see, but the mind we see them with, which makes the real interest of travelling. "Eyes and No Eyes," - an old-fashioned story about two little children taking a walk; one seeing everything, and enjoying everything, and the other seeing nothing, and thinking the expedition the dullest imaginable. This simple tale, which the present generation has probably never read, contains the essence of all rational travelling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient and Holy Wells of Cornwall A history of the ancient and holy wells of Corn wall had been a favourite idea with Mr. Quiller Couch for many years before his death, and most of his scanty leisure time was spent in visiting them and collecting information on the subject. During his last illness it was understood that a rough sketch of the preface was being written; whether this was the case or not, nothing but the few fol lowing notes on loose scraps of paper has ever been found. It has been thought best to give them as they are, without any attempt to work them into complete form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nooks Corners of Cornwall You can only see Cornwall by walking through it, said George Borrow, but the traveller must bear in mind that a name, large on the map, is apt to materialise into a few cottages, a lonely farmhouse, or a rocky gorge with never an inhabitant. Nor though the voice of the tourist has now for several years been heard in the land has the response, in hotels, been great; while there are not as many country inns as might be expected. The cheerful, pleasure-loving Cornishman has another aspect to his character. Generally a Nonconformist and a Sabbatarian he - perhaps more particularly she - thinks the fewer inns the better. Hamlets the size of which would lead one to expect a wayside tavern are often drawn blank, and it is as well to make inquiry, when mapping out the day's journey, as to the accommodation to be found at its latter end.

Download or read book A Book of the West written by Sabine Baring-Gould and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of the West: Being an Introduction to Devon and Cornwall In this "Book of the West" I have not sought to say all that might be said relative to Devon and Cornwall; nor have I attempted to make of it a guide-book. I have rather endeavoured to convey to the visitor to our western peninsula a general idea of what is interesting, and what ought to attract his attention. The book is not intended to supersede guide-books, but to prepare the mind to use these latter with discretion. In dealing with the history of the counties and of the towns, it would have swelled the volumes unduly to have gone systematically through their story from the beginning to the present; it would, moreover, have made the book heavy reading, as well as heavy to carry. I have chosen, therefore, to pick out some incident, or some biography connected with the several towns described, and have limited myself thereto. My object then must not be misunderstood, and mm my book harshly judged accordingly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
