Excerpt from The Isle of the ShamrockThis defines very forcibly, I think, the source of whatever merit may have been attained by the present volume, or by its predecessors on England and France. The view is from the outside, and has both the faults and virtues of such a view. It is a record of first impressions and of the pleasure in things novel and unexpected which never comes but once. As such I finish it, trusting that I may have succeeded in con veying to others something of the charm and interest that these scenes and incidents had for me.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
