Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Fair Devon This invitation to Devon is issued by the United Devon Association, an organisation recently formed for the purpose of improving the accommodation and facilities of the county of Devon as a place of residence and as a touring ground. It proposes, among other objects, to secure better means for reaching the West, and enjoying its varied and little-known attractions. It contemplates a gradual development of the means which will enable residents and visitors to move about with ease and comfort in the byways and open country, and on the sea coast. The scenery and other attractions of Devon have afforded infinite pleasure to the comparatively limited number which has visited the West, but in these days of speedy transit, when the world is open to travellers, this Association is desirous of making better known the claims of the West to the attention of all who seek "new" pastures. This organisation is recognised by the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Devon, by the principal county magistrates, as well as by the whole of the mayors of the boroughs, to whose exertions and co-operation it owes its existence. This volume has been compiled by many loyal sons of Devon, to whom the thanks of the Association are due, and are here expressed. It is not possible to name all who have shared in making the volume what it is, but mention may be made of those who editorially and otherwise with pen and pencil have assisted: Rev. Canon Edmonds, B.D., Mr. Sydney Hodges, Mr. A. Gregory, Mr. W. Crossing, Mr. Edward Windeatt, Mr. F. P. S. Amery, Dr. P. Q. Karkeek, Mr. Thos. Wainwright, Mr. W. H. K. Wright, Mr. Walter D. Finch, Mr. Harbottle Reed, Mr. O Railing, Mr. J. Fairweather, Mr. A. S. Stoneman, Mr. E. H. Micklewood, Mr. J. Blampey, Mr. W. P. Ditcham, Mr. C. Jefferd, Mr. T. Vanstone, Mr. W. H. Puddicombe, and Mr. C. Vickery. The special subjects have been contributed as follow: "Introduction," Mr. Sydney Hodges; "The Climate of Devon," Mr. A. Chandler, F.R.M.S.; "Education," Mr. E. H. Shorto; "Flora and Natural History," Dr. E. A. S. Elliott; "Devon Water Sports," Mr. A. H. Bridson; "Sea Fishing," Mr. W. Hearder; "Hunting," "A Veteran"; "Fresh Water Fishing," Mr. Alfred Burden ("Noss Mayo," of The Field); "Cricket," Rev. J. H. Copleston, M.A.; "Golf," compiled by Mr. Chas. R. Rowe; "Football," Mr. Cecil R. M. Clapp; "Cycling," Mr. Herbert M. Rankilor, C.C., C.T.C.; "Devon as a Health-recovering Ground," Dr. W. Harvey; "Health Reports of Principal Towns," by the Medical Officers of Health. For the purpose of working out the scheme the county has been divided into four sections, Central, Southern, Western, and Northern, and this volume deals with the towns and localities in accordance with this arrangement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fair of May Fair, Vol. 1 of 3 It may be accounted one of the evil signs of the times, that, while the mischievous blaze of Personality is fanned on all sides by the favour of the reading public, the purer flame of Satire, though kindled at a sacred altar, Begins to pale its ineffectual fires. The world is now too much accustomed to be popped at (after the fashion of the Kentucky riflemen) from some cunning ambuscade, to heed the straightforward warfare of its lawful antagonists; - too much familiarized with the deadly laugh of the hyena, to give ear to the milder mirth of human nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wanderings in Devon Before us rises the great red Haven Cliff, and the giant mass is reflected again in the glassy depths of the transparent Axe, that moves slowly along at its foot, pouring its limpid tribute, a few yards further on, at the "very smaul gut" of harbour - where now as of old "come in smaul fischar boats for socour" - into the great briny hand of Neptune. A leisurely stroll across the expanse of beach, a passing glance up the main street of Seaton, and we halt at the other extreme end, where the stupendous and beautiful White Cliff rears itself before us with a sort of implied question as to our further progress this way. Singularly handsome in outline, a very beau ideal of the famed English white cliffs, it is composed of dazzling lime-stone, rifted into large block-like masses, some fallen portions of which lie in huge debris of confusion at its base, where, about and between, the waves hiss and churn themselves impotently into spray, whiter than the barrier that challenges their progress. Overhead, a bevy of sooty choughs are darting out and in from numerous "coignes of vantage" near the apex, chattering noisily, - while at some distance below, in mid-air, a solitary gull sweeps slowly on in grand and noiseless equipoise, his long wings glancing in the sunlight. A friendly winding stair reveals itself a short space off, and up this we carefully clamber, emerging at the top into the narrow lane leading from Seaton to Beer.
