Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Byways and Highways of Old England N the present volume I have continued my studies of the social and domestic England. Several of my friends who have special knowledge on the subjects they have written about have kindly favoured me with contributions, which add value and interest to the volume. My thanks are due to the Rev. Charles Bullock, who has been good enough to place at my dis posal the illustrations for the chapter on Anglo Saxon Homes. They are from his instructive book, entitled How They Lived in the Olden Time. If the work receives the same welcome from the press and the public as given to my previous books on similar lines, I shall have reason to feel grateful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Hampshire One word more and I have done. Most writers claim for their copy-hold that it is the choicest bit of our choice Home land. This is a praiseworthy attitude. But not on this account, nor with any desire to cast aspersions on my fellow writers do I assert that Hampshire is Me most perfect of English counties, and the most representative corner of England! Nor is proof of this far to seek. Not even Kent can claim a greater share in the making of England, and proud London herself bends courteous head to Winton her sister city, and grants her precedence as the earliest municipality, even though the charters on which to base the claim be lost. Ports mouth as a naval station holds its own against Plymouth and Devonport, while Southampton Water challenges the Mersey and Old Father Thames himself for commercial facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Kent In dividing up a county into subjects for chapters many methods may be followed. Here I have mostly taken a district around some centre from which it may conveniently be explored, and have sought to indicate the nature of the surrounding scenery, to point out the more interesting places to be visited, and to tell something of the men and events associated with them. The Object has been to indicate the various attractions Of a county peculiarly rich in associations, and including within its limits much beautiful and varied scenery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Yorkshire One may call and justify this, says sententious Fuller, to be the best shire in England 3 and he adds, with a quaint reference to Tully's orations, opz'z'ma guae longz'ssz'ma - the best which is the longest. Now while professing every regard for Fuller, Whose little quirks are not to be handled by the world's blunt thumb and finger, but should be accepted gratefully as pretty coruscations in a biographical waste which he might have left so arid, - with all gratitude and love, I say, for my old friend and comrade, I protest strenuously against the gauge which he adopts. For does one measure Madonna with a foot rule, or estimate a mighty warrior by inches Here is a shire which from the first twilight of our stormy history has Caught all men's imagination by the strength and vigour of its life, a stage on which the grandest dramas have been played out with pomp and tragedy, a soil which has been drenched through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambling Reminiscences: An Intimate Excursion Through the Highways and Byways of Old Hackensack You may not desire to sing the old songs they sang long years ago, but there is something in annals of the past that revives dormant memories, and causes forgotten scenes to pass across the mental vision, repeople deserted places and refresh lagging recollection of localities, individuals and events. Who does not take at least a passing pleasure in narratives of those far-removed days when Father and Mother, then as young as their grand-children of today, were Sitting in a corner, on a Sunday eve, with a taper finger resting on your sleeve? It is dangerous to quote, but a chance is taken on the accuracy of the old song lines. And this is a reminder of a story of the Inquisitive One, who asked, What is the most common misquotation in the English language? The Purist answered: When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war. Well, what is the matter with that? Asked the Inquisitive One.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Highways and Byways From a Motor Car: Being a Record of a Five Thousand Mile Tour There are three ways in which a tourist may oh tain a good idea of Britain during a summer's vaca tion of three or four months. He may cover most places of interest after the Old manner, by railway train. This 'will have to be supplemented by many and expensive carriage drives if he wishes to see the most beautiful country and many of the most inter esting places. As Prof. Goldwin Smith says, Rail ways in England do not follow the lines of beauty in very many cases, and the Opportunity afforded of really seeing England from a railway car window is poor indeed. The tourist must keep a constant eye on the time-tables, and in many of the more re tired places he will have to spend a day when an hour would suffice quite as well could he get away.

Download or read book Somersetshire written by C. R. B. Barrett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Somersetshire: Highways, Byways, and Waterways; Written and Illustrated IN offering this book to the consideration of the public, I desire to preface it with a brief explanatory notice. I have attempted to describe and illustrate a portion of Somersetshire. Photography has in no case been employed, nor have I described any spot which I have not personally visited. How rich the county is in archaeological remains, ecclesiastical buildings, quaint old manor houses, many may be aware, but for some unknown reason the district has been but sparsely honoured by illustration. I purpose to wander with my reader through village and town, or to linger by some historic spot, making use of my pencil by the way. At times the natural beauties of the grand old county may call for a sketch, and such opportunities will not be neglected. But though my wanderings may seem to be without plan, I hope to show that there is some method therein, as it is my intention to make certain epochs rather than certain roads or districts the means of division into chapters. For instance, the wonderful camps need to be visited, and how better than by making a pilgrimage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Chicago s Highways Old and New written by Milo Milton Quaife and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-22 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago's Highways, Old and New: From Indian Trail to Motor Road The period from the incorporation of Chicago to the coming of the railroads (from I837 to 18 as I view it, was the critical period of Chicago's history. Citizens Of the Village of about people, surrounded by miles of flat, marshy land, had little basis to expect a big town here except the hope of a connection with the Mississippi River waterway system through a canal, which it was hoped sometime, somehow, might be built and which, eleven years afterwards, was, after various vicissitudes, completed. In the meantime, the town grew steadily. Its exports Of raw material and imports of manufactured goods, as shown by the meagre port records of the time, increased pretty steadily and were, at all times, greater in amount than necessary for the support of the little town, indicating that, in spite Of poor roads and bad transportation, its people were doing business with the hinterland and making Chicago, in that early day, the central market for surrounding territory. Dr. Quaife has happily selected this period for his book, and in admirable fashion has pictured the life, the travelers, and transportation methods before the coming Of the canal and the railroads; he describes an eventful period which has hereto fore had but little consideration, and has succeeded in linking the old with the new in a most interesting way.

Download or read book Highways and Byways in Cambridge and Ely Classic Reprint written by Edward Conybeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Cambridge and Ely It is however far otherwise with the Byways. These abound with picturesque nooks and corners. In every village charming features are to be found, - thatched and timbered cottages, hedgerow elms, bright willow-shaded watercourses, old-time village greens, and, above all, old-time village churches, often noble, and never without artistic and historical interest of high order. Few counties better repay exploration than Cambridgeshire. And if the Highways are devoid of attraction during their course through the country districts, they make up for it by the supreme beauty and interest of their passage through the towns. Cambridge itself is, as all know, amongst the loveliest and most interesting places in existence, with its world-famed colleges and its epoch-making history. And Ely stands in the very first rank amongst the glorious cathedrals of England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
