Description
Excerpt from Windsor Castle: An Historical Romance
On the left, a view altogether different in character, though scarcely less beautiful, was Offered to the gaze. It was formed by the town of Windsor, then not a third of its present size, but incomparably more picturesque in appearance, consisting almost entirely of a long straggling row of houses, chequered black and white, with tall gables and projecting stories, skirting the west and south sides of the castle; by the silver windings of the river, traceable for miles, and re?ecting the glowing hues of the sky; by the venerable college of Eton, embowered in a grove of trees; and by a vast tract of well-wooded and well - cultivated country beyond it, interspersed with villages, churches, Old halls, monasteries, and abbeys.
