Belloc was also an orator, poet, sailor, satirist, writer of letters, soldier, and political activist. His Catholic faith had a strong effect on his works.

Belloc was a noted disputant, with a number of long-running feuds. Belloc's writings encompassed religious poetry and comic verse for children. His widely sold Cautionary Tales for Children included "Jim, who ran away from his nurse, and was eaten by a lion" and "Matilda, who told lies and was burned to death".

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thames When the American wondered what all the fuss was about, and guessed that any one of his home rivers could swallow the Thames and never know it, the Englishman replied, he guessed it depended at which end the process began; if at the mouth, the American river would probably get no farther than the greatest City the world has ever known before succumbing to indigestion!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tale of the Thames It was the pursuit of this natural but neglected pastime that had brought the two, after an excellent early breakfast at the King's Head, Cirencester, vigorously tramping along the Tetbury Road as far as Thames Head Bridge. From the bridge they descended to the towing path of the nearly dry canal, thence they wandered down the bank into the pleasant meadow, hoping to discover the Source of the Thames. Our two friends had a vague notion Of making a tour of the Thames, partly on foot and partly by boat or canoe, but as yet they had no very definite view on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalist on the Thames Fresh water is almost the oldest thing on earth. While the rocks have been melted, the sea growing salter, and the birds and beasts perfecting themselves or degenerating, the fresh water has been always the same, without change or shadow of turning. So we find in it creatures which are inconceivably old, still living, which, if they did not belong to other worlds than ours, date from a time when the world was other than it is now; and the fresh-water plants, equally prehistoric, on which these creatures feed. Protected by this constant element the geographical range of these animals and plants is as remarkable as their high antiquity. There are in lake Tanganyika or the rivers of Japan exactly the same kinds of shells as in the Thames, and the sedges and reeds of the Isis are found from Cricklade to Kamschatka and beyond Bering Sea to the upper waters of-the Mackenzie and the Mississippi.

I have had considerable hesitation in doing so, be cause, as its structure sufficiently indicates, it was never written with a view to publication. It is a sketch, and nothing more, of a great subject, con densed into a two hours' address. As, however, it contains some curious information Of consider able interest, otherwise difficult Of access, it has been considered worthy Of preservation in its present form. With a view to placing the readers of this lecture, as far as possible, in the position Of hearers Of it, I have accompanied it with some of the rarest and most interesting Of the plans with which it was illustrated. Whatever may be its shortcomings in other respects - and I am con scious they are many - I venture to hope that this feature Of it will prove generally acceptable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Father Thames In those days everything was on a much grander scale, and this river, though only a small tributary of the great main continental river, was a far wider and deeper stream than the Thames which we know. Here and there along the present-day river valley we can still see in the contours of the land and in the various rocks evidences of the time when this bigger stream was owing. (of this we shall read more in Book III.) Thus things were when there came the great surface change which enabled the water to ow across Wide tracts Of land and so form the British Islands, standing out separately from the mainland of Europe.

Download or read book Rambles by Rivers Vol 1 of 2 written by James Thorne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles by Rivers, Vol. 1 of 2: The Thames To enjoy a Ramble on the banks of Thames. Cowper, Task, book i. While, however, to enjoy a ramble on the banks Of Thames actually is an easy matter, to describe it, or to enjoy it in a description, is not so easy. The general character of the scenery of the Thames is that of a calm and tranquil beauty, but with so much of sameness, that a continuous account of it would speedily become tedious: yet the endeavour to enliven it by digressions, however tempting, would protract a ramble beyond any reasonable length; while to enter, except in a cursory manner, into historical or antiquarian details, would little accord with a ramble at all. The space we are to pass over is so considerable, and the objects Of in terest in our way are so many, that we must Of necessity keep close to the river and only slightly survey what catches our attention as we saunter along it. We must not pretend to notice every thing that deserves to be noticed, and we must con fine ourselves to a general view. We shall thus, however, find sufficient to occupy as-i hope with out wearying us - or at least with only occasional weariness: there are spots beside every stream so absolutely barren, that weariness must be felt even by the best tempered, and I cannot expect that my river will be found an exception.
