Excerpt from An Itinerant in the British IslesWhen there are so many books of travel clamor ing for the public eye, there may seem a degree of temerity in venturing another into the arena. We do not claim for our modest little volume any distinctive merit. We do not hold it up as a model. The reader may find much to criticize, but we hope he may find something to interest and please, and we crave his indulgence. Our only excuse for the publication of the little volume is the desire to preserve in this form the record of a visit to the home land so pregnant with pleasure - a desire stimulated by the re quests of friends for copies of the book as soon as in print.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
