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.

We should have liked very much to have prolonged our stay at Dolgelly; we left the quaint old town without having explored a tithe of its beauties, and we left it with great regret, taking away with us many pleasant recollections of the place and its romantic surroundings. But we had much in Wales to see yet, and a good deal of England on our return journey home. So the next morning being fine, with a clear sky and a glorious sunshine overhead, we determined to make a start, as we felt, in spite of the attractions of Dolgelly, we could not afford to let such a grand day pass by without making another stage. Our destination for the night was the renowned valley of Festiniog, a vale far famed for the entrancing beauty of its scenery, and of which Lord Lyttelton says, 'With the woman one loves, with the friend of one's heart, and with a good study of books, one might pass an age in this vale and think it a day.' Other writers, not a few, have lavished their encomiums on this spot; we were therefore doubly anxious to reach it in favourable weather, that we might have time and a proper opportunity of seeing the same, and exploring some, at least, of its lovely nooks. A few miles on our way, at Llanelltyd bridge, we pulled up the horses...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Journey to England and Wales "A snug little island! A bright little, tight little island! Search the globe round, And none can be found So happy as this little island." You and I may not agree with the person who wrote this bit of verse about England, but our English ancestors believed it firmly. To them "Old England" was the most beautiful spot on earth. We can understand why America did not seem an attractive country to them, for they endured much suffering and hardship during the first few years they spent here. When they left their comfortable homes in England and came to America they found but a wilderness. Much of the time their lives were in danger from unfriendly Indians, and in addition to this they sometimes suffered for lack of food and other necessities, so we cannot wonder at their looking back upon England as a happier place in which to live. They told their children stories of the pleasant years spent in the old home in England, and these children came to have something of the same affection for the mother country as the parents.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Little Journey to England and Wales We have seen many of the wonders of London, its busy, crowded streets and something of the work that is being carried on in both London and Liverpool. But we have seen little of the home life of the English people. For this we will go to the country. When the London season is over, everyone who can afford to do so leaves town. Some go to their country homes, others to Brighton, or the Isle of Wight, or to some seaside or country resort, for a rest or change. Let us go, too. There is so much yet to be seen that we are tempted to linger awhile longer in this fascinating old London Town. There are so many excursions we might make into the suburbs, if time would but permit. There is the great Crystal Palace, where everyone goes who wishes to study the products and industries of the world. It is a huge building of glass and iron stand ing in the midst of forests and parks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England and Wales IT was by the Birmingham Down Train that I ventured to take my first timid steps into the English world. Down Trains are those that leave London, while those that proceed towards the metropolis are called Up Trains. It is the same in most countries. The capital city of a nation seems to be always looked upon as occupy ing a more elevated position than the rest of the country; as standing high up on a kind of moral mountain. It may sound somewhat strangely to talk of solitude in a Birmingham down train; yet, with hundreds of human beings, before me and behind me, in the same suite of carriages, there I sat quite alone and perhaps in no other situation does a man feel so entirely alone. He sees no one but himself, cannot change his place or arrest his ra. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across England in a Dog-Cart: From London to St. Davids and Back After our long drive from London to St. Davids and back, and all that we had seen on the way, we felt that we had really made a journey in the ancient meaning of the word, with all its many incidents and varying delights, its changeful scenes and constant surprises; and we realised the distance we had traversed as no one possibly can who hastens across country by rail, annihilating Space truly, but sacrificing for speed the infinite pleasure of a restful progress through the most beautiful country in the world. The illustrations, engraved from my sketches by Mr. Pearson, will, I trust, lend an added interest to this account of our old-fashioned journey by road.

I took my journey in a reliable little motor-car that happily gave me none. Though I went by car I went leisurely, stopping Often by the way, for full well I realise the reward of loitering, and, as all wise wanderers can testify, there is such a thing as profitably loitering, and a joy in it. Had they been of his day Carlyle would probably have declared that motor-cars are mostly employed for the transport of fools best left at home, at least he said so Of railways. With a car, however, you can control the pace, and can stop at your pleasure; it is an excellent servant, though in truth a bad master.
