Preface
SOME portions of what
follows have already appeared in the form of letters, partly in one
journal, partly in another. Any friends, interested in what they
read there, have expressed a desire to have a more full and
connected record of my tour. I have therefore recast the whole, and
added nearly as much as was contained in the original papers,
keeping up the style of easy letters, so that the whole might he
regarded as written (as much of it was) in the railway carriage. The
book is neither more nor less than notes of a holiday trip; and I
cannot hope by means of it to do more' than enable others to share
the information and the pleasure which the trip imparted to the
travellers themselves, and perhaps add a little filament to the cord
of interest and regard that binds together the two great sections of
(he Anglo-Saxon family.
