Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of North Wales Concerning the purpose and scope of this little book I have but to repeat what I have said in the prefaces to my other works of the same nature - A Book of the I Vest, A Book of Dartmoor, A Book of Brittany - that it is not intended as a Guide, but merely as an introduction to North Wales, for the use of intending visitors, that they may know something of the history of that delightful land they are about to see. Welsh history is a puzzle to most Englishmen; accordingly I have made an attempt to simplify it sufficiently for the visitor to grasp its outlines. Without a knowledge of the history of a country in which one travels more than half its interest is lost.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through North Wales: With a Knapsack I Am one of the four, and have been commissioned by the other three to write a few sentences of introduction to the following pages - our joint work. The "summer holiday" is fast becoming a national institution, and is deservedly popular, for, besides affording a means of rest to weary workers, it offers possibilities of enjoyment in anticipation, realization, and recollection which no other recreation can rival. But, granted that a holiday of some kind during the summer months is both desirable and pleasant, it is not always easy to decide on its exact form, especially when time and means are limited. Last summer we four solved the question for ourselves by a Walking Tour, and our tour proved so pleasant, and has given rise to so many inquiries from our friends, that we arc encouraged to think some account of our experiences may be of interest to a wider circle of holiday-seekers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Views in North Wales, From Original Drawings The Signs of a glacier are so evident in Cwm Llydaw that it is needless to describe all the details. At the outflow of the lake there are moraine-like mounds, formed of earthy matter, stones, and angular and subangular blocks, which even now partly dam up the lake, and when I first knew it, raised it to a still higher level, ere the channel of the brook was sacrilegiously deepened to lower the water, for the sake of saving a few pounds in the construction of an ugly causeway. Close to the outflow, the once beautiful little islets of rock, feathered with heath and grasses, are now united to the mainland, and a broad ugly black rim round the lake marks alike the extent of the drainage and the barbarism of the perpetrators of this unhappy outrage on the most beautiful scene in Wales.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highways and Byways in North Wales The famous Doctor Kennedy, of whom I shall speak anon, took this matter, I believe, greatly to heart. When at'a Cam bridge dinner-party, or in polite society elsewhere outside the Scene of his scholastic triumphs, I have heard that his eye flashed on any such offender with a ferocity almost as great as that with which it blazed at the sound of a false quantity. He could neither birch nor expel, nor set five hundred lines to his 01's d vi: at a dinner-party, it is true; but I have been informed by people who ought to know that he never failed greatly to im prove the occasion and to leave one outsider, at any rate, with an undying impression of the right method of pronouncing the name of Salop's ancient capital. Chester, I am quite aware, considers itself immeasurably ahead of Shrewsbury in the attractions it Offers to the tourist, and, as everybody knows, draws a great stream of sightseers, particularly Americans; while few people, I fancy, go much out of their way to visit the old Shropshire town. I hope it is not from any unworthy resentment at what seem to me the somewhat over-weening pretensions of Chester, that I am introducing the reader to Wales by way of Shrewsbury and the Shropshire border. I Sincerely believe there are good reasons for this, and not the least of them the fact that Shrews bury, unlike Chester, is little known, and has nothing like the outside reputation it deserves, and if by a brief glance at it I may haply induce a few travellers, who would otherwise pass by.
