'A Bright morning towards the end of May; a coach, primrose colour; a team of two powerful bay wheelers and blood greys at lead, all with plenty in front of the collar, and bone to support them; the whole turn-out having a lot of sort about it, thoroughly bang-up in fact. Throw your fastidious eye over the horses, leathers, and coach, and all you can say is capital! 'With truth also can you say--'Here's to the shape that is shown on the near side, Here's to the blood on the off, Sir; Limbs with no check to the freedom of stride, Wind without whistle or cough, Sir. 'A full way bill, " time up" from the guard, "all right" from coachee to the horsekeepers, the horse-cloths being pulled off at this signal, the traces tightened, as with one move, bringing the swingle bars up with a jerk, polechains rattle to each step, and then "with elbows squared, and with wrists turned down, he sends his tits along." The " three feet of tin" sounds its seven notes musically, and with "all quality, pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious roads," away we go rumbling over the London stones for our first stage out. 'Amongst all the contrasts that are exhibited in ordinary life, few are more striking than what is presented by London at the same hour morning and evening. 'At six in the morning everything is comparatively still. The chimes of the different churches appear to be louder, only because they are more distinctly heard. Co vent Garden market-men and basket-women are pouring in with their vegetables, fruits, and flowers. The battered beau is observed steering homewards but half-sobered, and one would think entirely wretched; while the solitary hackney cab is seen here and there passing sleepily along with a cargo of prime...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Road, or Notes on Mail and Stage Coaching in Great Britain: To Which Are Added Essays on the Road, by Nimrod The natural fondness for the Road and its associations has induced me, from time to time, to collect notes on all matters in connexion therewith. The recent revival of stage-coaching, and consequently of the art of coachmanship, dating, we may say, from 1866, when the 'Old Times' was put on the Brighton Road, that road having been left vacant by the withdrawal of the 'Age' in 1862, has turned the minds of many to this subject. With a view therefore to assist their enquiries, I publish my collections. Apart from my desultory notes, Nimrod's treatises on the Road, appended to these collections, give a complete systematic theory of coaching; and my desire that the lover of the Road should have at hand a volume for reference and information induced me to rush into print. For, as Peter Beckford said of hunting, so may it be said of coaching, 'there is no doubt that the practical part of it would be improved were theory to accompany it.' In considering the construction of carriages, friction, motion, gravitation, and velocity are the first subjects which demand the attention of practical coachmen.

Download or read book Keats s Places written by Richard Marggraf Turley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the essays in this volume reveal, Keats’s places could be comforting, familiar, grounding sites, but they were also shifting, uncanny, paradoxical spaces where the geographical comes into tension with the familial, the touristic with the medical, the metropolitan with the archipelagic. Collectively, the chapters in Keats’s Places range from the claustrophobic stands of Guy’s Hospital operating theatre to the boneshaking interior of the Southampton mail coach; from Highland crags to Hampstead Heath; from crowded city interiors to leafy suburban lanes. Offering new insights into the complex registrations of place and the poetic imagination, the contributors to this book explore how the significant places in John Keats’s life helped to shape an authorial identity.
