Description
Excerpt from The Echoes of the Lakes and Mountains: Or Wonderful Things in the Lake District (Being a Companion to the Guides)
As those of Cumberland and Westmorland. The Wonderful Things unfolded in this little volume will amply bear out the assertion. The only merit we claim is for the labour of our research, and the bringing to light marvels that have existed but have been hidden by the lapse of time. As Ixingsley says on the value of Books There is nothing more wonderful than a book - a message to us from the dead - from human souls whom we never saw, yet who lived and yet these, in the little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, terrify us, teach us, and comfort us. We hope this description of a book may be applied to the one we now commend to the readers'' attention. Time has consecrated and age made gray the numerous collection of the rare gleanings of our volume, and if the interest inspire the reader as much as the gleaner of them, he will not be content with the perusal of our collection, but enlarge his acquaintance by a visit to the spots, places, and antiquities, that.
