Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of a Traveler: Selected After a brief __sojourn in Germany and France, Irving went, in 1826, to Spain, where he remained three years, working upon his Life of Columbus. The labor resulted also in three/other books of imperishable beauty and interest, The Alhambra, the Conquest of Granada, and the Legends of the Conquest of Spain. While there he received unexpectedly the appointment of Secretary of Legation to the court of St. James, and in 1830 he resumed his residence in England. His Columbus had just appeared from the press, and honors of every kind now poured in upon him. From the Royal Society of Literature he received the gold medal of King George, and from the University of Oxford the degree of which title, however, his mod esty never permitted him to use. Two years later he returned to America, and met with an overwhelming reception from his ad miring countrymen.

The front, open to the ocean, com manded a noble view of the deep azure silent sea, with the poetic Medina river, winding in beautiful transparency through the, pastoral' valleys. This extensive landscape combined a prospect of the busy towns of Portsmouth and Gosport, crowded with shipping; and at a con siderable distance, uniting with the sea, the magnificent Southampton water, with the towers and spires of that pic turesque town, almost unrivalled for the beauty oi' its situation.

With all my heart, said Morton I want to see the wife, and children, too. Has the wife the laughing black eyes and silken ringlets you married in imagination long ago, Harry? Not exactly, said Warren, without returning very heartily his friend's smile. My wife was pretty, once, though; she was very pretty when I married her, but she is a feeble woman; she has seen a great deal of illness since then, and it has changed her somewhat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Washington Irving's Traveller Worthy and Dear Reader! - Hast thou ever been waylaid in the midst of a pleasant tour by some treacherous malady: thy heels tripped up, and thou left to count the tedious minutes as they passed, in the solitude of an inn-chamber? If thou hast, thou wilt be able to pity me. Behold me, interrupted in the course of my journeying up the fair banks of the Rhine, and laid up by indisposition in this old frontier town of Mentz. I have worn out every source of amusement. I know the sound of every clock that strikes, and bell that rings, in the place. I know to a second when to listen for the first tap of the Prussian drum, as it summons the garrison to parade, or at what hour to expect the distant sound of the Austrian military band. All these have grown wearisome to me; and even the well-known step of my doctor, as he slowly paces the corridor, with healing in the creak of his shoes, no longer affords an agreeable interruption to the monotony of my apartment. For a time I attempted to beguile the weary hours by studying German under the tuition of mine host's pretty little daughter, Katrine; but I soon found even German had not power to charm a languid ear, and that the conjugating of ich liebe might be powerless, however rosy the lips which uttered it. I tried to read, but my mind would not fix itself. I turned over volume after volume, but threw them by with distaste: "Well, then," said I at length, in despair, "if I cannot read a book, I will write one."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Benighted Traveller: A Tale and Other Poems It is a common thing, in these times, for the author of a volume of poetry to apologize for its publication, or else recommend it as possessing unrivalled excellence. The author of the present volume has no intention of doing either. He has no inclination to adopt the latter course, and he feels himself under no obligation to pursue the former. It is not a favour, but every one's right, provided he does no injustice or injury to others, to make known his thoughts in any form he may choose; and it is as much his right to print them as it is to speak them. The aim of the author, in the following compositions, has been to profit rather than to please; though he might perhaps say, to profit as well as to please. Some of the pieces were among the earliest fruits of his attachment to the muses, and are to be regarded as expressions of feeling rather than of thought.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christus Judex: A Traveller's Tale Of all the villages which the tourist contemplates with enraptured eye as he descends from the Alps into the plains of Lombardy, Acqua Chiara is certainly not the least beautiful. Its founder, however long ago he lived, must have had a keen eye for the picturesque; for it is located on the precise spot where it not only appears to the best advantage itself, but also commands the most enchanting views afforded by the Lago Dorno. The latter is one of those charming little lakes so common in this country, which, as their basin lies between the sinking spurs of the distant Alps, are long, narrow, and winding in shape, and disclose at every turn some new and unexpected combination of light and shade, water and sky, wood and rock, hamlet, chateau, island, hill, dale, and snowy mountain.
