Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vacation Rambles Dear C - So you want me to hunt up and edit all the "Vacuus Viator" letters which my good old friends the editors of The Spectator have been kind enough to print during their long and beneficent ownership of that famous journal! But one who has passed the Psalmist's "Age of Man," and is by no means enamoured of his own early lucubrations (so far as he recollects them), must have more diligence and assurance than your father to undertake such a task. But this I can do with pleasure - give them to you to do whatever you like with them, so far as I have any property in, or control over them. How did they come to be written? Well, in those days we were young married folk with a growing family, and income enough to keep a modest house and pay our way, but none to spare for menus plaisirs, of which "globe trotting" (as it is now called) in our holidays was our favourite. So, casting about for the wherewithal to indulge our taste, the "happy thought" came to send letters by the way to my friends at 1 Wellington Street, if they could see their way to take them at the usual tariff for articles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zigzag Journeys in Europe: Vacation Rambles in Historic Lands HE aim of the publishers and writer, in preparing this volume for young people, is to give a view of the principal places in England and France where the most interesting events have occurred; and, by a free use of pictures and illustrative stories, to present historic views of the two countries in an entertain ing and attractive manner. An American teacher takes a class of boys on a vacation tour to England and France, and interests them in those places that illustrate the different periods of English and French history. It is his purpose to give them in this manner a picturesque view of present scenes and past events, and to leave on their minds an outline of history for care ful reading to fill. A few of the stories are legendary, as the Jolly Harper Man and the Wise Men of Gotham; but these illustrate the quaint manners and customs of the Middle Ages. Nearly all of the stories that relate to history are strictly true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

After these mutual congratulations were ended, the boys found time to return the caresses of a beautiful Newfoundland dog, named Neptune. He was a great favourite, and expressed his delight by jumping upon his young masters, and rolling over and over a pretty little spaniel, called Rover, who was rather annoyed by the rough gambols of his companion. In due time, however, they quietly seated themselves to enjoy some refreshment after their journey, and to hear and relate what had happened during their absence. After luncheon, the children went out to visit the garden, and their numerous pets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scouring of the White Horse: Or the Long Vacation Ramble of a London Clerk The great success of the festival (or "pastime," as it is called in the neighbourhood) which was held on White Horse Hill on the 17th and 18th of September, 1857, to celebrate the "Scouring of the Horse," according to immemorial custom, led the Committee of Management to think that our fellow-county-men at least, if not our country-men generally, would be glad to have some little printed memorial, which should comprise not only an account of the doings on the Hill on the late occasion, but should also endeavour to gather up the scattered legends and traditions of the country side, and any authentic historical notices relating to the old monument, of which we west-countrymen are all so fond and proud. I had the good or ill luck (as the case may be) to be the only member of the Committee whose way of life had led him into the perilous paths of literature; so the task of compiling and editing our little book was laid on my shoulders.

Download or read book Rambles in Europe written by Mark Trafton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles in Europe: In a Series of Familiar Letters When the writer of the following letters left home for a short tour in the "Old World" he promised some friends an occasional letter for the periodicals of which they were the editors. He endeavored to fulfil this engagement, and a number of these letters were issued in the Zion's Herald and others in the Ladies' Repository, published in Cincinnati, Ohio. Some of the letters were brought home by the writer, and subsequently published. It was his practice to take notes of all that interested him; and these rough and imperfect sketches were subsequently filled up and brought into their present shape. But he had not the most distant idea of "writing a book;" and he feels that it is due to himself to say that it was wholly owing to an infirmity which attaches to his constitution, an inclination to yield to the persuasion of friends that these fugitive letters are presented to the public in their present form. He therefore begs the utmost forbearance of that worthy and high-minded fraternity called critics, lest he should be forced to say, "save me from my friends!" The writer went out to see what he long desired to look upon - the "Old World." He has given his own views, boldly, but kindly. He has endeavored to write without severity; and if his English friends shall imagine otherwise, he begs to assure them that, while he has commented freely upon public faults and anti-republican customs, his heart cherishes none but feelings of kindness. He went out an American; he came back unchanged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
