Excerpt from The Balladists Nor much more has been attempted in these pages than to extract the marrow of the Scottish Ballad Minstrelsy. They will have served their purpose if they-help to awaken, or to renew, a relish for the contents of the Ballad Book. To know and love these grand old songs is its own exceeding great reward, and it is also, alas! Almost the only means now left to us of knowing something concerning their nameless writers. ...

Excerpt from The Lake Regions of Central Africa: A Record of Modern Discovery Africa is the continent with which man - civilized man - has had perhaps the longest acquaintance, and concerning which he still knows least. It has been a mystery to him since the earliest ages, and he is only now beginning to penetrate the real heart of the secret. Probably it was on the rich soil of Egypt that the first geographer traced the first chart, and the ...

Excerpt from The Fringes of Fife Much has happened since, in light mood and in light marching order, these walks along the seamargin of Fife were first taken, some three-and-thirty years ago. The coasts of 'the Kingdom' present a surface hardened and compacted by time and weather - a kind of chequer-board of the ancient and the modern - of the work of nature and of man, and it yields slowly to the hand of change. But here also old pieces have...

Excerpt from The Fringes of Fife The days were of the shortest when we set out on our pilgrimage around the fringes of Fife. Our purpose was to seek and seize, as opportunity offered, the soul as well as the form of things Finish. Such a quest is best made under gray skies, and in a nipping and an eager air. "Not in summer but in winter, " Mr. Andrew Lang tells us, "is the time to see St. Andrews", and what is said of its chief shrine may be ...

Excerpt from Beyond the Himalayas: A Story of Travel and Adventure in the Wilds of Thibet You remember what happened to the Duke of York and his ten thousand men? Said Mr. Marshall, smiling. He marched them up a hill, and marched them down again. I wouldn't advise you, Master Bob, to attempt that climb. The Thibetans might take a fancy not to let you away at all, but nail you up on the frontier as a warning to other trespassers, as a gamekeep...
