Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel in England in the Seventeenth Century No more Perhaps not for some who are weighed down with the dross of civilization. But while love of Mother Earth is implanted in the souls of men, there will ever be those whom the manifold beauties of earth and sky will tempt, over the hills and far away, in search of that sudden uprushing and all - pervading emotion that comes to him who gazes upon the grandeurs of nature; that sensation, half rapture, half longing, so typical of this pleasant but transient world of imperfect joys and nebulous desires.

This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Drive Through England, or a Thousand Miles of Road Travel This volume is the simple record of a most delight ful excursion, 'a Cruise on Wheels' of nearly a thousand miles, passing through some of the most beautiful portions of England. To the writer it appears that no method of see ing a country or a pleasanter way of spending a summer holiday could be desired, no form of travel so thoroughly enjoyable, or on the whole so inde pendent, as a driving tour. The journey herein related took some three months to perform, and, consisting as it did of a round drive from London to Scotland and back, was a most comprehensive one, and gave to those who made it a store of pleasant memories, a treasure gallery of rural and home scenes never to be for gotten.

Download or read book Travels on the Continent and in England Classic Reprint written by August Hermann Niemeyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels on the Continent and in England It is amusing and instructive to see ourselves, as in a glass, in the accounts of foreigners. Persons cannot see themselves so well as they are seen by others. No nation has a higher opinion of itself than the English. Foreigners, however, take the liberty to speak of us as we do of them - as they find us; and though it may not in all cases be gratifying to hear what they say of us, it is always amusing, and often affords a valuable lesson. Stephen Perlin, a French ecclesiastic, who was in England in the reign of Edward VI., and who wrote with all the prejudices of his countrymen, is extremely scurrilous: - "One may observe of the English," says he, "that they are neither valiant in war, nor faithful in peace, which is apparent by experience; for although they are placed in a good soil, and a good country, they are wicked, and so extremely, fickle, that at one moment they will adore a prince, and the next moment they would kill or crucify him. They have a mortal enmity to the French, whom they conceive to be their ancient enemies, and in common call us French dogs - but they hate all sorts of strangers. It displeases me that these villains, in their own country, spit in our faces, although, when they are in France, we treat them like divinities. But herein the French demonstrate themselves to be of a noble and generous spirit." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in England, France, Italy and Ireland I have not written this little book for the learned, nor to seek fame as an author, but to contribute a mite towards supplying a remarkable deficiency in our Catholic literature. The Catholics of this country, though for the most part poor, are fond of reading. Many religious works, and some few histories, and tales, and political essays are the principal books within their reach. Books of travels they have none. With regard to the customs and doings of other nations they have little means of obtaining information except from Protestant tourists. But their productions, even the best of them, are so well seasoned with sneers and misrepresentations, perhaps unintentional, of the practices, ceremonies, customs, &c., of Catholic countries, that, instead of being instructive, they are pernicious and dangerous.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old-Fashioned Journey Through England and Wales Some years ago a friend persuaded me to join him on a driving tour through the southern counties. It was my first experience of such a delightful mode of travel, and I determined it should not be my last. Before that never-to - be-forgotten journey, I thought I knew England and English scenery well, but that drive was to me a revelation. Since then fortune has been propitious; time and opportunity have permitted me to enjoy my summer holiday by taking driving excursions of some hundreds of miles every year, being away some two or three months each time. This volume is compiled from brief notes taken during one of those pleasant journeys. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book England Picturesque and Descriptive written by Joel Cook and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England, Picturesque and Descriptive: A Reminiscence of Foreign Travel No land possesses greater attractions for the American tourist than England. It was the home of his forefathers; its history is to a great extent the history of his own country; and he is bound to it by the powerful ties of consanguinity, language, laws, and customs. When the American treads the busy London streets, threads the intricacies of the Liverpool docks and shipping, wanders along the green lanes of Devonshire, climbs Alnwick's castellated walls, or floats upon the placid bosom of the picturesque Wye, he seems almost as much at home as in his native land. But, apart from these considerations of common Anglo-Saxon paternity, no country in the world is more interesting to the intelligent traveller than England. The British system of entail, whatever may be our opinion of its political and economic merits, has built up vast estates and preserved the stately homes, renowned castles, and ivy-clad ruins of ancient and celebrated structures, to an extent and variety that no other land can show. The remains of the abbeys, castles, churches, and ancient fortresses in England and Wales that war and time together have crumbled and scarred tell the history of centuries, while countless legends of the olden time are revived as the tourist passes them in review. England, too, has other charms than these. British scenery, though not always equal in sublimity and grandeur to that displayed in many parts of our own country, is exceedingly beautiful, and has always been a fruitful theme of song and story. "The splendor falls on castle-walls And snowy summits old in story; The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory."

In a word, business, not bookmaking, was its primary object. No one, however, who visits our Eastern empire can fail to be forcibly impressed with the novelty of its aspect, and with the strong contrast which it presents to the ordinary routine of European life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bertha's Visit to Her Uncle in England, Vol. 1 of 3 These little volumes consist of extracts from the Journal of a young person, who, having passed her childhood at Rio Janeiro, was sent, at the close of that period, on a visit to her English friends. Her father, Colonel Montague, had been ordered to Brazil upon confidential business; and, foreseeing that it would occupy him for an indefinite time, he carried his family along with him. They had remained in that country several years, when their domestic happiness was suddenly destroyed by his death; and the effect of the shock on his unfortunate widow was such, that she was wholly unable to undertake a voyage to England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Merrie England: Travels, Descriptions, Tales, and Historical Sketches More than half a century ago Grace Greenwood made what seemed to her a perilous journey across the Atlantic. She wrote about her travels for the Little Pilgrim, a magazine for children, and soon after some of the stories were published in book form under the title of Merrie England. It was to this book that many a child of those days owed his first introduction to English history and legend. It is largely by right of her ability to interpret the historical and legendary ideal that Grace Greenwood holds her high place as a writer for children. The keynote she seeks is fearless truth, bold daring for the right, patient suffering under wrong - the finest qualities to quicken the sympathies of a boy or a girl. In Merrie England she has obtained also the very spirit of travel in the way she has associated history and legend with their local habitations. The old stones of York Minster are real because Queen Philippa was married there, and the Tower is sacred by reason of Raleigh's noble spirit.

Download or read book Travels in Europe written by Wilbur Fisk and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in Europe: Viz;, In England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands Many of the letters that are incorporated-in therfollowing work were written at different times during my tour to the persons to whom they are addressed; but these covered but a smaller portion of the topics which I wished to introduce. A question, therefore, came up, in preparing the materials for the press, Whether these letters should be enlarged and multiplied so as to place all the matter in the same form; or whether, letting these stand essentially as they were, with the necessary revision and corrections, the additional matter should be thrown into the form of plain narrative. The latter method, as will be seen, has been adopted. This, I know, is rather out of the common course, and may be the cause of a noticeable difierence in the style but it has occurred to me that this may be no objection nay, that perhaps the monotony of one unvaried form may be relieved by the change, and be, at least, no drawback upon the interest of the work. I had much more matter which I might have inserted; but -i have 'made my book already too large, according to the fash ion of the day and fashion will have its influence in the size of a book as well'as in'everything else.
