Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bachelor's Rambles: Through the British Isles Hen I was a small boy we lived near a family who came from County Wicklow, Ireland. I was always intensely interested in hearing them describe the beauties of that country. A desire took hold of me to see the land beyond the broad Atlantic. This desire grew stronger as I heard and read descriptions of the British Isles in later years, but I always con sidered Old Ocean rather treacherous, and never felt like trusting myself to her care. Not until within a few months prior to taking the trip did I begin.to think more favorably of her. The Sunday previous to sailing was very stormy, and calculated to make one rather pensive who was about to launch out on the uncertainties of the great deep. I spent a part of the day with some friends, one of whom, seating himself at the organ, began playing and singing for my especial benefit. His selections were of such a character as to make me feel I was spending my last Sabbath on earth; that somewhere between dear old America and the shores of England, Old Ocean would cover me over and keep me hidden away until Gabriel blew his trumpet. However, I was undaunted by the dark pic ture presented, and took the never - to-be-regretted trip, my enjoyment of which, together with some historic facts, I have endeavored, in my homespun way, to bring before my readers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Itinerant in the British Isles When there are so many books of travel clamor ing for the public eye, there may seem a degree of temerity in venturing another into the arena.

The reader may find much to criticize, but we hope he may find something to interest and please, and we crave his indulgence.

Download or read book The British Isles Classic Reprint written by G. F. Bosworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Isles The amount of land and water on the surface of the earth is by no means equal. The area of the water is about two and a half times the area Of the land, or, putting it another way, two-sevenths of the earth's sur face is land, while the sea occupies five-sevenths of the surface. The arrangement Of the land and water is peculiar. Look at a map of the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres. There is plainly far more land in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is mainly water. Careful measurements would Show that there is actually thirteen times more land in the Northern than in the Southern Hemisphere. There is another very strange thing about the arrange ment of the land and water on the face of the earth that you would never guess at first sight. The antipodes of a piece of land is practically always a piece of water. Thus on the opposite side of the globe from North America is the Indian Ocean, Australia is the antipodes of the North Atlantic Ocean, Europe and Africa are exactly opposite the Pacific Ocean, there is an ocean at the North Pole but a continent exactly opposite at the South Pole. This curious result has not come about merely by chance, but the explanation is too difficult for young scholars. The land surface of the earth is not smooth, but is ridged and wrinkled in certain parts, and the wrinkles are called mountain chains. The greatest mountain system in the world stretches under many different names from the west Of Europe to the east of Asia. It begins in the Pyrenees, and continues in the Alps, the Caucasus, the Persian mountains, and the Himalaya.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land and Fresh Water Shells of the British Isles: With Illustrations of All the Species ON several occasions I have been taken, or (as I would fain hope) mistaken, for a lunatic. On the last occa sion I had wandered forth with the twofold object of escaping for a time from the din and turmoil of our British Babylon, and of enjoying a ramble in search of shells. Pursuing a path that led across some meadows, I came upon a little band of working men, who, seated under a hedge, were spending their Saturday afternoon holiday in the full enjoyment of the fragrant weed, and of an occasional pull at a soda-water bottle containing a liquid not unlike water in colour, and very like Old Tom in fragrance.

Download or read book Walking With Plato written by Gary Hayden and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If one keeps on walking, everything will be alright.” So said Danish writer Søren Kierkegaard, and so thought philosophy buff Gary Hayden as he set off on Britain’s most challenging trek: to walk from John O’Groats to Land’s End. But it wasn’t all quaint country lanes, picture-postcard villages and cosy bed and breakfasts. In this humorous, inspiring and delightfully British tale, Gary finds solitude and weary limbs bring him closer to the wisdom of the world’s greatest thinkers. Recalling Rousseau’s reverie, Bertrand Russell’s misery, Plato’s love of beauty and Epicurus’ joy in simplicity, Walking with Plato offers a breath of fresh, country air and clarity for anyone craving an escape from the humdrum of everyday life.
