Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ridpath Library of Universal Literature At Esher, whither they removed in 1837, Mr. Howitt produced Colonization and Christianity, and the first series of Visits to Remarkable Places; Mrs. Howitt, Hymns and Fireside Verses and Birds and Flowers (1839). In 1840 they went to Heidelberg, for the benefit of their children. Here they applied themselves to the study of German, Swedish and Danish. Mr. Howitt wrote The Rural and Domestic Life of Germany and German Experience, and translated Student-Life in Germany. Mrs. Howitt translated several of Miss Bremer's works from the Swedish, and wrote Hope on, Hope ever, Strive and Thrive, and other works in the series entitled "Tales for the People and their Children." On their return to England she continued this series, wrote The Children's Year and Ballads and Poems (1847), and went on with her translations from the Swedish and Danish. Her husband wrote a boy's book, Jack of the Mill, and the second series of Visits to Remarkable Places, and The Rural Life of England (1844.) From 1846 to 1848 they edited the People's Journal, and undertook the publication of a venture of their own, Howitt's Journal, which did not succeed. Mr. Howitt then published Madame Dorrington of the Dene (1851), and The Year Book of the Country; his wife, The Heir of Wast Wayland, Steadfast Gabriel, and other juvenile works; and together they produced the Literature and Romance of Northern Europe (1852), a valuable work containing translations from many Scandinavian writers.
