Excerpt from FranceOpenly in London drawing-rooms people are heard expressing their preference for the food supplied in English homes and hotels. They dare to state that many of the courses provided in French hotels and restaurants are highly ¿avoured, but uneatable, that the meat provided is nearly always unaccountably tough and full of strange sinews and muscles that give one's teeth much inconvenience that the clear soup is com monly little...

Excerpt from The Motor Routes of England: Western SectionThere have been many inquiries for this new volume of the Motor Routes of England, ' which I should have been glad to publish a year ago had the necessary time been at my disposal. Finding that there was little chance of getting the book out even this year, I obtained the help of Mr. Charles H. Ashdown, who has written a considerable por tion of the letterpress under my supervision. We m...

Excerpt from Normandy: The Scenery and Romance of Its Ancient TownsThis book is not a guide.

Excerpt from The Motor Routes of France: To the Châteaux of Touraine, Biarritz, the Pyrenees, the Riviera, and the Rhone ValleyGreat pains have been taken to embody in the small compass of a book that will easily slip into an overcoat pocket all that is essential for the motorist to know both before and during the tour. At the same time, the large clear type of the first volume of this series has been retained in order that there may be no dif...

Excerpt from CambridgeCambridge has also made better use of her river than has her sister university, she has taken it into her confidence, bridged it in a dozen places, and built her colleges so that the waters mirror some of her most beautiful buildings. Further than this, in the glorious chapel Henry VI. Built for King's College, Cambridge possesses one of the three finest Perpendicular chapels in the country - a feature Oxford cannot match...

Excerpt from Beautiful Britain: CanterburyNow, I do not disguise the fact that many of the twentieth-century pilgrims are not pos sessed of the true spirit of the devotee, and instead of approaching the object of their journey by the old-time way, along the beautiful hills of Surrey and Kent, they use the iron road which rushes them all unprepared into the city of the saint-martyr. But who will maintain that all those who formed the motley thr...

Excerpt from Through Yorkshire: The County of Broad AcresIT is a deep joy to write of the wonderful variety of Yorkshire's attractiveness, and my pen would carry me into exuberance were I not reminded that many who pick up this little book may have yet to discover the beauty and glamour of the great county.I have, therefore, tried to keep my great love of this portion of ancient Northumbria within bounds, and have even reduced the title of the...

Excerpt from Along the Rivieras of France ItalyTue Riviera may be described as a collection of jewels strung together at irregular intervals on a rough mountain chain. Some are genuine antiques, others are overlaid with modern workmanship, and they vary much in size and shape, but the metaphor holds good nevertheless. That one end of the chain should receive only scant attention from English people seems a mistake when it possesses some pricel...

Excerpt from Yorkshire, Painted and DescribedThe ancient stone-built town of Pickering is to a great extent the gateway to the moors of North-eastern Yorkshire, for it stands at the foot of that formerly inaccessible gorge known as Newton Dale, and is the meeting-place of the four great roads running north, south, east, and west, as well as of railways going in the same directions. And this view of the little town is by no means original, for ...
