Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Wales IT was by the Birmingham Down Train that I ventured to take my first timid steps into the English world. Down Trains are those that leave London, while those that proceed towards the metropolis are called Up Trains. It is the same in most countries. The capital city of a nation seems to be always looked upon as occupy ing a more elevated position than the rest of the country; as standing high up on a kind of moral mountain. It may sound somewhat strangely to talk of solitude in a Birmingham down train; yet, with hundreds of human beings, before me and behind me, in the same suite of carriages, there I sat quite alone and perhaps in no other situation does a man feel so entirely alone. He sees no one but himself, cannot change his place or arrest his ra. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old-Fashioned Journey Through England and Wales Some years ago a friend persuaded me to join him on a driving tour through the southern counties. It was my first experience of such a delightful mode of travel, and I determined it should not be my last. Before that never-to - be-forgotten journey, I thought I knew England and English scenery well, but that drive was to me a revelation. Since then fortune has been propitious; time and opportunity have permitted me to enjoy my summer holiday by taking driving excursions of some hundreds of miles every year, being away some two or three months each time. This volume is compiled from brief notes taken during one of those pleasant journeys. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Little Journey to England and Wales Classic Reprint written by Marian M. George and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Journey to England and Wales "A snug little island! A bright little, tight little island! Search the globe round, And none can be found So happy as this little island." You and I may not agree with the person who wrote this bit of verse about England, but our English ancestors believed it firmly. To them "Old England" was the most beautiful spot on earth. We can understand why America did not seem an attractive country to them, for they endured much suffering and hardship during the first few years they spent here. When they left their comfortable homes in England and came to America they found but a wilderness. Much of the time their lives were in danger from unfriendly Indians, and in addition to this they sometimes suffered for lack of food and other necessities, so we cannot wonder at their looking back upon England as a happier place in which to live. They told their children stories of the pleasant years spent in the old home in England, and these children came to have something of the same affection for the mother country as the parents.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Journey to England and Wales We have seen many of the wonders of London, its busy, crowded streets and something of the work that is being carried on in both London and Liverpool. But we have seen little of the home life of the English people. For this we will go to the country. When the London season is over, everyone who can afford to do so leaves town. Some go to their country homes, others to Brighton, or the Isle of Wight, or to some seaside or country resort, for a rest or change. Let us go, too. There is so much yet to be seen that we are tempted to linger awhile longer in this fascinating old London Town. There are so many excursions we might make into the suburbs, if time would but permit. There is the great Crystal Palace, where everyone goes who wishes to study the products and industries of the world. It is a huge building of glass and iron stand ing in the midst of forests and parks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedrals of England and Wales This new, or at least freshened, knowledge has undoubtedly added much to the interest with which all ecclesiological students regard this most graceful Of English cathedrals. Nor is it a knowledge Of the fabric alone, Of its architectural character and change, that has increased during the progress Of these works. Modern science and modern scholar ship have advanced with gigantic strides, and such a connection has been established between their various branches as has thrown new light in all directions where it was scarcely to be hoped for, and from quarters whence it was scarcely expected. Of course there are those who tell us that the whole Of Lich field Cathedral has been too completely rejuvenated, and that it has lost the venerable rust which carried us back to the days of the great mediaeval architects. But in truth the aerugo was Of no real high antiquity. It is the roman-cement and compo', the whitewash the lath and plaster, and the carpenter's Gothic woodwork of the later Georgian epoch which have been removed; and we can now recognise, far more distinctly than before was possible, the grace and beauty of the original work.
