Excerpt from Tales for Road and Rail: From Chambers's MisscellanyThe whole of the buildings, including the prison, and the barracks for the soldiers who guarded us; waressiituated. On an eminence, and were certainly airy enough, Commanding a full and extensive view over the surrounding country, which ap peared well cultivated in some parts; but in front of the prison, to the south-east, the prospect terminated in fe'ns and marshes, in the centre of which was Whittlesea Mere, a large lake, of some miles in circumference. The high road' from London to Scot land ran close by the prison, and we could, at all hours of the day, see the stage-coaches and other carriages bounding along the beautiful roads of the country with a rapidity unknown else where; and the contrast afforded by contemplating these scenes of liberty continually before our eyes, only served to render the comparison more harrowing to our feelings.There was no apparent show about the place of military strength, formed by turreted castles, or by embrasured battle ments; in fact it was little better than an enclosed camp. The security of the prisoners was effected by the unceasing watch of ever-wakeful sentinels, constantly passing and repassing, who were continually changing; and I ave no doubt this model of security was more effectual than if surrounded by moated walls or by fortified towers.

Excerpt from Marian, or a Young Maid's FortunesIN the year 1816, on one of those damp, dull, misty mornings, so peculiar to our English climate and the month of Novem ber. And just as the sleepy watchman had called Past five o'clock. My story commences. Along the line of Sloane Street a woman was pacing some what rapidly, her figure enveloped ia a scanty grey cloak which reached only to her knees, and her face was shaded by a black silk bonnet. Having passed Cadogan Place, her pat tens clicking at every step, and marking the speed at which she'travelled, she encountered the drowsy proclaimer of the hour, who was at the moment watching with anxiety for the first streak of light that might serve as authority for leaving his chill and wearisome beat.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
