Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in the Border AT the time of his death, my brother had proceeded but a little way in this task which he and I began together, and I must frankly own my inability to cope with it on the lines which he would doubtless have followed. It is probable, for example, that his unrivalled knowledge of the memories, legends, ballads, and nature of the Border would have led him to show various important events in a light different from that in which my less intimate acquaintance with the past has enabled me to speak of them whilst, as regards the Ballad literature of the Border, I cannot pretend to that expert knowledge which he possessed. I do not think, therefore, it is fitting that I should attempt to carry out his intention to deal more fully with those of the Ballads which are most closely connected with places treated of in this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways of the South Yet I cannot say that Florida on closer acquaintance seemed quite worthy of its name; for if you would have a profusion of flowers, you must nurse and coax them. They are not such a spontaneous product of the climate as one would expect. The soil is too poor, and nowhere did the blossoms brighten and gladden the earth as our spring flowers do in the North. Indeed, the aspect of the country is for the most part rather monotonously sober - an unending, sandy level overspread with pine woods, and a low, spiny under growth of palmetto scrub. After leaving Jacksonville, where I had disembarked, I first of all visited St. Augustine, and saw its ancient fort and massive city gateway. The fort is of genuine mediaeval type, the only one of its kind in America. Its gray, weatherworn stones proclaim its great age, the rooms are satisfactorily gloomy and dungeon-like, and you can trace the course of the old moat round about. Both the fort and the gateway date back to the time when St. Augustine was a Spanish walled town. The place itself has one or two curious narrow thorough fares and odd survivals of bygone architecture, but its prevailing characteristics are those of a fashionable pleasure resort. All the open fields on the outskirts have been taken possession of by the golf-players. Once, when I had stopped to watch a game, an old colored man came along and leaned over the picket fence near me. I want to see what they gwine do, he said. Good gracious alive!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seventy-Five Years on the Border I trust my readers will not think me egotistical if I first mention my parentage, also a short sketch of my life work of 70 years at Midway Place, where I now live.

The corruption and imbecility of our officials will grow upon us, until the press is aroused to take up the work and apply the cautery. Before this vague and irresponsible administration of our executive trusts is reformed into something more respectable and trustworthy, we may have to impeach some cabinet officers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in South Wales A few prefatory remarks to this book appear to me to be almost imperative if only to explain some apparent sins of omission, or, to come at once to the point and the singular number, the omission of Glamorgan. The title of the volume, it is true, involves it in no particular geographical obligations; but I should not like to incur even a suspicion of making light of the abounding attractions, natural and historical, of this great county, or of being ignorant of them. The plain fact, 'however, is that the large area of South Wales, when measured by the exigencies of my space, rendered the omission of a portion of, it absolutely inevitable. Monmouthshire, having been 'for so long technically, if illogically, outside Wales, lent itself to excision at once with out the necessity for comment, and relieved me of part of the difficulty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in North Wales The famous Doctor Kennedy, of whom I shall speak anon, took this matter, I believe, greatly to heart. When at'a Cam bridge dinner-party, or in polite society elsewhere outside the Scene of his scholastic triumphs, I have heard that his eye flashed on any such offender with a ferocity almost as great as that with which it blazed at the sound of a false quantity. He could neither birch nor expel, nor set five hundred lines to his 01's d vi: at a dinner-party, it is true; but I have been informed by people who ought to know that he never failed greatly to im prove the occasion and to leave one outsider, at any rate, with an undying impression of the right method of pronouncing the name of Salop's ancient capital. Chester, I am quite aware, considers itself immeasurably ahead of Shrewsbury in the attractions it Offers to the tourist, and, as everybody knows, draws a great stream of sightseers, particularly Americans; while few people, I fancy, go much out of their way to visit the old Shropshire town. I hope it is not from any unworthy resentment at what seem to me the somewhat over-weening pretensions of Chester, that I am introducing the reader to Wales by way of Shrewsbury and the Shropshire border. I Sincerely believe there are good reasons for this, and not the least of them the fact that Shrews bury, unlike Chester, is little known, and has nothing like the outside reputation it deserves, and if by a brief glance at it I may haply induce a few travellers, who would otherwise pass by.
