Excerpt from Historic Byways and Highways of Old England N the present volume I have continued my studies of the social and domestic England. Several of my friends who have special knowledge on the subjects they have written about have kindly favoured me with contributions, which add value and interest to the volume. My thanks are due to the Rev. Charles Bullock, who has been good enough to place at my dis posal the illustrations for the chapter on Anglo Saxon Homes. They are from his instructive book, entitled How They Lived in the Olden Time. If the work receives the same welcome from the press and the public as given to my previous books on similar lines, I shall have reason to feel grateful.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Hampshire One word more and I have done. Most writers claim for their copy-hold that it is the choicest bit of our choice Home land. This is a praiseworthy attitude. But not on this account, nor with any desire to cast aspersions on my fellow writers do I assert that Hampshire is Me most perfect of English counties, and the most representative corner of England! Nor is proof of this far to seek. Not even Kent can claim a greater share in the making of England, and proud London herself bends courteous head to Winton her sister city, and grants her precedence as the earliest municipality, even though the charters on which to base the claim be lost. Ports mouth as a naval station holds its own against Plymouth and Devonport, while Southampton Water challenges the Mersey and Old Father Thames himself for commercial facilities.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Kent In dividing up a county into subjects for chapters many methods may be followed. Here I have mostly taken a district around some centre from which it may conveniently be explored, and have sought to indicate the nature of the surrounding scenery, to point out the more interesting places to be visited, and to tell something of the men and events associated with them. The Object has been to indicate the various attractions Of a county peculiarly rich in associations, and including within its limits much beautiful and varied scenery.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Yorkshire One may call and justify this, says sententious Fuller, to be the best shire in England 3 and he adds, with a quaint reference to Tully's orations, opz'z'ma guae longz'ssz'ma - the best which is the longest. Now while professing every regard for Fuller, Whose little quirks are not to be handled by the world's blunt thumb and finger, but should be accepted gratefully as pretty coruscations in a biographical waste which he might have left so arid, - with all gratitude and love, I say, for my old friend and comrade, I protest strenuously against the gauge which he adopts. For does one measure Madonna with a foot rule, or estimate a mighty warrior by inches Here is a shire which from the first twilight of our stormy history has Caught all men's imagination by the strength and vigour of its life, a stage on which the grandest dramas have been played out with pomp and tragedy, a soil which has been drenched through.

Excerpt from British Highways and Byways From a Motor Car: Being a Record of a Five Thousand Mile Tour There are three ways in which a tourist may oh tain a good idea of Britain during a summer's vaca tion of three or four months. He may cover most places of interest after the Old manner, by railway train. This 'will have to be supplemented by many and expensive carriage drives if he wishes to see the most beautiful country and many of the most inter esting places. As Prof. Goldwin Smith says, Rail ways in England do not follow the lines of beauty in very many cases, and the Opportunity afforded of really seeing England from a railway car window is poor indeed. The tourist must keep a constant eye on the time-tables, and in many of the more re tired places he will have to spend a day when an hour would suffice quite as well could he get away.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Cambridge and Ely It is however far otherwise with the Byways. These abound with picturesque nooks and corners. In every village charming features are to be found, - thatched and timbered cottages, hedgerow elms, bright willow-shaded watercourses, old-time village greens, and, above all, old-time village churches, often noble, and never without artistic and historical interest of high order. Few counties better repay exploration than Cambridgeshire. And if the Highways are devoid of attraction during their course through the country districts, they make up for it by the supreme beauty and interest of their passage through the towns. Cambridge itself is, as all know, amongst the loveliest and most interesting places in existence, with its world-famed colleges and its epoch-making history. And Ely stands in the very first rank amongst the glorious cathedrals of England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Hertfordshire Hertfordshire is indeed Lamb's county. Many famous men has it bred, but if it is associated more with one name than another, that name is Charles Lamb. NO one loved Hertford shire better' or praised it so sweetly. Although he never actually had his home within its confines, nor was he born there (albeit he once speaks of his native Hertfordshire yet many of his happiest days in childhood were spent in Hertfordshire, with his grandmother, at Blakesware, near Widford; it was close by, at Blenheims, that his first love lived; he had a houseful of cousins near Wheathampstead; and in later life Lamb never tired Of walking along Hert fordshire roads and lanes. In a letter to Wordsworth, in 1822, Lamb, when he was forty-six, says I had thought in a green Old age (oh, green thought!) to have retired to Ponder's End (emblematic name, how beautiful!) in the Ware Road, there to have made up my accounts with Heaven and the [east India] Company, toddling about between it and Cheshunt anon stretching, on some fine Izaak Walton morning, to Hoddesdon or Amwell, careless as a beggar; but walking, walking ever till I fairly walked myself off my legs, dying walking!

Excerpt from Highways and Byways in Derbyshire My obligations are many. I have made free use of all books, old and new, relating to Derbyshire, and have borrowed liberally from the volumes of the Notts and Derbyshire Archaeological Society, which is fortunate, above most county societies, in the energy and numbers of its members and con tributors. I am also more particularly indebted to Mr. Edward Hunter, of Ashbourne, for permission to use a short manu script in his possession by the late Lord Denman, to Dr. Wrench, of Baslow, and Mr. Wright, Of Longstone Hall, for much local information, and to Miss Erichsen not only for the charm Of her illustrations but for numerous interesting details relating to persons and places. Nor would I forget to thank the many chance and momentary acquaintances whom I met on the roads and in the fields Of Derbyshire and, perhaps, wearied by my questioning curiosity.
