(Peter Hampson) Ditchfield This book is intended not to raise fears but to record facts. We wish to describe with pen and pencil those features of England which are gradually disappearing, and to preserve the memory of them. It may be said that we have begun our quest too late; that so much has already vanished that it is hardly worth while to record what is left. Although much has gone, there is still, however, much remaining that is good, that reveals the artistic skill and taste of our forefathers, and recalls the wonders of old-time. It will be our endeavour to tell of the old country houses that Time has spared, the cottages that grace the village green, the stern grey walls that still guard some few of our towns, the old moot halls and public buildings. We shall see the old-time farmers and rustics gathering together at fair and market, their games and sports and merry-makings, and whatever relics of old English life have been left for an artist and scribe of the twentieth century to record. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vanishing England Now the wayside inns wake up again with the bellow of the motor-car, which like a hideous monster rushes through the old-world villages, startling and killing Old slow-footed rustics and scampering children, dogs and hens, and clouds of dust strive in very mercy to hide the view of the terrible rushing demon. In a few years' time the air will be conquered, and aeroplanes, balloons, flying-machines and air-ships, will drop down upon us from the skies and add a new terror to life. Not in vain the distance beacons. Forward, forward let us range, Let the great world Spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Condition of England "I've got to a time of life," says the hero of a modern novel, "when the only theories that interest me are generalisations about realities," There are many contemporary observers who do not require advancing years and a wider experience of life to concentrate them upon so serious a study. It is not that they deliberately turn towards consideration of the meaning and progress of the actual life around them. It is that they cannot - with the best desire in the world - escape from such an encompassing problem. To those the only question before them is the present: the past but furnishing material through which that present can rightly be interpreted, the future appearing as a present which is hurrying towards them - impatient to be born. They ask for fact; not make-believe. With Thoreau, "Be it life or death," they will cry, "We crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business." The following pages offer an attempt to estimate some of these "realities" in the life of contemporary England.

Yet he was permitted to read any English book he pleased, the perusal of works in a foreign tongue being regarded as a species of study which it was right to encourage and commend.

This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from This Realm, This England The Charm of the chalk is in some degree the charm of insularity among many of us. Right or wrong, one hugs the idea that it is above all other rocks the special rock of England, geologically our rock. It is something of a surprise to find a pale faced shore across the water as well as at home. Travelling by train through Normandy anyone who knows the English chalk scenery well - its streams and hills, and the configuration of the land - but does not know France well, may wonder still more to find some of the familiar features there too. Where the chalk is really the soil or undersoil, even though it does not actually break through the green in places or take the form of rolling down and grey greensward, I think it cannot be overlooked or mis taken. In Normandy you can tell you are on the Chalk in places, though you may not see a Sign of down. There is something in its form as well as in its flora, and, where water flows, there is something still more in its streams and meadows that announces chalk quite clearly.
