The chapters of this work are the result of a few excursions in the now unhappily neglected country parts of England - such parts as are not seen from. A railway train. The appreciation for' such subjects is not new, for I find articles in the Gentlemen's Magazine that date as far back as 1745, in which the writers point out interesting parts of England, for the guidance of ingenious travellers.

I do not think a line of it was written while the sun was shining, but in almost every chapter there are recollections of the midnight bell.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BEST SELLER • The basis for the HBO documentary now streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Towns AN attempt is made in this work to give descriptive and historical accounts of the more important of our Old English Towns. Their rise and the chief buildings of past ages, remarkable episodes and phases of old-time social life, receive 'con sideration. It will be shown how towns have risen under the protection of castles, how others have grown under the care of religious houses, while others have advanced under royal patronage. Old customs linked with the lives of the people receive attention. The Cathedrals of the country are fully dealt with in other volumes in this series, and are, therefore, not described at length.

It is there not to keep Open house, but to Shut up the purse. In former days the landlord exacted his rents, but then he lived in the midst Of his tenants, and the money that came in as rent went out as wage, and in payment for butter, eggs, meat, oats, and hay. The money collected out Of a place returned to it again. It is so in many country places in England now where squire and parson live on the land.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of Town: A Rural Episode "Do you know, Mr. Gray," asked my estimable wife early one morning, as she raised the sash and threw open the blinds of the chamber-window, in our house in Merry-field Place, "that the spring is here? Observe how balmy is the air, and see how the buds are swelling on the trees, and the grass sending forth its green blades in the courtyard. Listen to the song of that bluebird, perched upon the. swaying branch of the elm, and hearken, too, to the buzzing of the early flies, enjoying the warm sunshine on the window panes. Yes, the spring is here, my dear, and we are on the verge, as the poet hath it, of the 'delicate-footed May'; and this reminds me - oh! sad anticlimax - that you have not yet obtained a house for the coming year, and that, before ten days go by, unless you do, we shall be homeless, having neither a shelter for, nor a place wherein to lay, our heads." "I am fully aware of it, my dear," I replied; "and I have for the last month, as you are aware, travelled over the greater part of the city searching for a proper residence, without finding one. I have half-decided to look no further" - "That would be just like you, Mr. Gray," interrupted my wife; "you would be willing to sit down quietly, with folded hands, and let the future take care of itself."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old and New in the Countryside Times, describe some varying stages Of life in the countryside during the last forty years. The first two chapters belong to the end of the nineteenth century; The Age of Morris Dancing to the transition period which succeeded it, when a stirring of the social consciousness resulted in a variety of more or less superficial attempts to reconstitute rural life without that corresponding revolution in the social and economic sphere which alone could substantiate them. The Country-town refers to the period which immediately preceded the War, and still in greater or less degree survives it. The changes which that universal cata strophe is bound to produce are not yet to be determined; but that, for better or for worse, they herald the end of an epoch - the Passing of the Old Order - can no longer be open to dispute.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Countryside WE live in times when change is so rapid that customs and institu tions of even a decade ago are no longer familiar. Everywhere the old is giving place to the new, and the methods of our forefathers are too leisurely for this hurrying age. The whole face of England is being rapidly altered, and this is perhaps more noticeable in the country, even in the most remote districts, than in the towns, where we look for change and improvements. So many old landmarks are being swept away that it seems time to call a halt and at least to take a survey before the old is banished by the new. In the towns it is perhaps almost too late to begin to preserve the buildings of the past, but in the country it is different. During most of the nine teenth century the country stagnated while the towns grew and prospered, but now ease of communication and the desire to see the country has brought about a change the city is being regarded only as a workshop and the country as the place in which to live. People, too, are beginning to understand that rural England is, and has always been, as important as the towns, and that scattered up and down the land are places not only beautiful in themselves, but full of the associations of the past. Each has played its part in the making of England as we know it to-day, and each has some story to tell, if we can only learn to read. An old rubbish heap may contain a wealth of romance, and a commonplace custom may have had its origin in the days when the inhabitants of these islands were little better than barbarians.
