Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some English Rural Problems: Seven Essays The complication of voices is without parallel. It is likely enough that distance makes us under estimate the jolting of minds caused always by a civilization's changing of gear - from family to tribe, from tribe to petty kingdom, from petty kingdom to nation. In the day of these changes probably none of them seemed to have taken place naturally. None the less it must be admitted that at no earlier period in history can the road Of social progress have appeared bestrewn with such various obstacles. Even if at any time so many obstacles had been lying around, they would not all have had to be encountered. In England, at any rate, stumbling blocks have often been escaped by those unaware of their existence difficulties never looked at in theory have fairly often solved themselves in practice. Part, indeed, of the Englishman's present difficulty lies in finding himself, without any national gift for theorizing, obliged now to formulate his beliefs and.

The purpose of the writer has been to instigate observation of local conditions, study of one's community, and action, confident, self-reliant action. One voice calling the rural mind to use its own powers of discernment upon its own social problems will not erect, the writer believes, a false educational ideal, deflecting students from the wider experience of mankind. For illustrative purposes the writer has chosen to use, in the main, his own amateur photographs in order to make sure of authentic representations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dreamthorp: A Book of Essays Written in the Country Are merry and happy, and the graybeard turret has not the heart to thrust a foolish moral upon them. They would not thank him if he did, I dare say. Per haps they could not understand him. Time enough Twenty years hence they will be able to sit down at his feet, and count griefs with him, and tell him tale for tale. Human hearts get ruinous in so much less time than stone walls and towers. See, the young man has thrown himself down at the girl's feet on a little space of grass. In her scarlet cloak she looks like a blossom springing out of a crevice on the ruined steps. He gives her a flower, and she bows her face down over it almost to her knees. What did the flower say? Is it to hide a blush? He looks delighted; and I almost fancy I see a proud color on his brow. As I gaze, these young people make for me a perfect idyl. The generous, ungrudging sun, the melancholy ruin, decked, like mad Lear, with the flowers and ivies of forgetfulness and grief, and between them, sweet and evanescent, human truth and love.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Bird Life: Being Essays on Ornithology, With Instructions for Preserving Objects Relating to That Science I have now for years been engaged in a study of Ornithology; and from my numerous notes, principally on the economy of our commoner inland birds, I conceived the idea that from them might be compiled a little volume that might doubtless prove of interest to those persons who have a love for rural pursuits and the study of nature. There are also I believe a few fresh facts on the economy of birds noted, which I respectfully submit to working ornithologists, as well as several moot questions, relating to the natural history of birds, discussed, and opinions, gained by experience, promulgated. Had I spent more of my time amongst books instead of amongst bogs, I have no doubt but what this little volume would have found more favour amongst a certain class of naturalists, no matter how questionable or erroneous the matter it contained. But such was never my intention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book In the Country written by Morgan George Watkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Country: Essays A glance at the physical features of the country shows how these picturesque lanes were formed. The aboriginal track-way over hill and dale, rudely marked out by stones laid at intervals, just as the Devon coastguardsmen still guide themselves over the cliffs at night by lines of stones so deposited, sank gradually into the soil. Mud from the path was flung on either side. Violent rains cut deep furrows in the road; during winter the path became a water-course where it was not a bog, and this continued for centuries. Then came an age Of improvement; the adjoining moor was divided from the road, after the native fashion, by banks of earth, trees and bushes took possession of them and while every season washes the road away, every time the farmer mends his fences the banks above gain height. Thus each year deepens the lane. Frost Often brings down one of these banks, which are topped by hedges, in some cases thirty feet above the traveller's head and this rongement, as they call it in Devon, must be replaced before the lane is passable, SO that their depth seldom diminishes, and perpetually increases. Many Of these lanes are extremely ancient. Round Dart moor especially they go back to Celtic times, or beyond them to that dim pre-historic antiquity, where even archaeology loses itself. Their natural formation, as we have described it above, overthrows a theory which has before now found favour with ethnologists, and which would contrast the generous, open hearted Roman with the skulking Celt. The Roman shows his character according to this fancy by his wide, elevated streets, driven for the most part in a straight line through the length and breadth Of the land while the other's nature was to hide in circuitous hollow lanes, fighting in trenches, as it were, while the legions manoeuvred in the Open. What little the ancients have told us Of the Celts negatives this view. Though superior force and a higher civilization drove the ancient Briton to the fastnesses of Wales and Cornwall, the Celt was brave to rash ness, ready, as Aristotle says, to dare even the waves with his sword.
