18mo, Cloth, 75 Cents. "... It was the author's wish, in dwelling thus upon the rural loveliness, and the literary and historical associations of that delightful realm, to afford sympathetic guidance and useful suggestion to other American travellers who, like himself, might be attracted to roam among the shrines of the mother-land. Temperament is the explanation of style; and he has written thus of England because she has filled his mind with beauty and his heart with mingled joy and sadness; and surely some memory of her venerable ruins, her ancient shrines, her rustic glens, her gleaming rivers, and her flower-spangled meadows will mingle with the last thoughts that glimmer through his brain when the shadows of the eternal night are falling and the ramble of life is done."—From the Preface. "He offers something more than guidance to the American traveller. He is a convincing and eloquent interpreter of the august memories and venerable sanctities of the old country."—Saturday Review. "The book is delightful reading."—Scribner's Monthly. "Enthusiastic and yet keenly critical notes and comments on English life and scenery."—Scotsman. MACMILLAN & CO., 66 Fifth Avenue, NEW YORK. |
