Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old England: Its Scenery, Art, and People I do not profess in these pages to present much that is new or comprehensive in relation to so well known a country as England; but I have striven to draw a faithful though rapid picture of the English portion of the island, going from Tweed mouth to Land's End, touching upon nearly every county, and making the entire circuit of the land. The English Cathedrals have particularly attracted me, and I have loved to linger in their majestic shadows; and for the sake of younger readers, some account has been given of the history and progress of Architecture in England. I have everywhere spoken with the freedom which an American is accustomed to exercise upon all subjects, and yet in no spirit of bitterness or hostility, but, on the contrary, in a spirit of rever ence and love for the great land of our fathers.
