Arthur Coningsby, Vol. 1 of 3

Excerpt from Arthur Coningsby, Vol. 1 of 3The building was regular and handsome, though of an obsolete architecture, and bearing the marks of genuine age. He walked round the garden, and reached a broad terrace which on one side divided it from the park. Before him lay a de lightful view. The old trees stretched their arms over the grassy undulations on which the deer fed and glanced with waving antlers, between the massy stems, and among the deep sylvan shadows. Suddenly he saw a considerable herd of them advancing from the opposite side of the river. When they had nearly reached its bank, they rushed forward with long bounds, and dashed into the water; their horns tossed gallantly above the stream, which flashed and sparkled round them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
