Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wanderings of a Pen and Pencil It was deemed requisite by the Publisher to accompany the pages with something by way of a Preface to the whole; but in truth the nature of the book is so readily understood by a general reader and the plan of the narration is worked out with such entire simplicity (the chapters throughout haying a strong family likeness to each other, ) that little presents itself to our conception, but the presentation of a mere formal Introduction to those who always take interest in compositions of a similar nature; that is, such as relate to stray antiquities, and the chequered events which cling to the path of pilgrims seeking the relics and legends of a remote and by-gone period. Many observations, items, and statements are woven in our text which may bear contradiction from the more learned of the brethren, or, at the worst, provoke critical vehemence and disparagement. We do not apologise, or intend to apologise, for such a condition of the mutual production. From the beginning of the story to the end we went onward as gossiping adventurers, and as cheerful health-seeking sight-seeing travellers. Something we accomplished for our own profit and intellectual gratification - something we did for a profit and good example to others. We never wrote "Pundit or "Moonshee" upon the wallet after our sociable initials, or gave wise or simple folks reason to believe we were any thing else than inquisitive, persevering wayfarers, who often went by lanes and intricate roads, when the Queen's highway would have abbreviated the toil, and who were sometimes to be seen leaning over a mossy well, or a stale newspaper, and often brooding over green fonts, and crypts, of climbing stone, when it would have rendered more justice to the cookery of our tavern host for us to have been just as near to the soup kettle, or enveloped in the odorous vapour of the roasted capon, and its wholesome cottage accompaniments. We pray that no one may hunt us into our home of tranquillity, with the misconception that we have peculiar opinions about Ogham stones, coal, coins, or the singular profane carvings in country churches, and the like.

This book was released on 2019-01-16 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Men and Famous Women, Vol. 7: A Series of Pen and Pencil Sketches of the Lives of More Than 200 of the Most Prominent Personages in History The plot of the Odyssey is admitted to be consecutive and regular in structure. There are certain differences in the mythology which have been made a ground for supposing a separate authorship. But, in the first place, this would do nothing to explain them; in the second, they find their natural ex planation in observing that the scene of the wanderings is laid in other lands, be yond the circle of Achaian knowledge and tradition, and that Homer modifies his scheme to meet the ethnical variations as he gathered them from the trading navigators of Phoenicia, who alone could have supplied him with the information required for his purpose. That information was probably colored more or less by ignorance and by fraud. But we can trace in it the sketch of an imaginary voyage to the northern regions of Europe, and it has some remarkable features of internal evidence, sup ported by the facts, and thus pointing to its genuineness. In latitudes not de scribed as separate we have reports of the solar day apparently contradictory. In one case there is hardly any night, so that the shepherd might earn double wages. In the other, cloud and darkness almost shut out the day. But we now know both of these statements to have a basis of solid truth on the Norwegian coast to the northward, at the different seasons of the midnight sun in summer, and of Christmas, when it is not easy to read at noon.
