Bright Days In Merrie England PDF Download

Excerpt from Bright Days in Merrie England Nathaniel Hawthorne, under date of 1855, writing in the vicinity of Grasmere, but having in mind, doubtless, other portions of the "land of ancient chivalry," deliberately set down in his Diary these words: "I question whether any part of the world is so beautiful as England... If England were all the world, it still would have been worth while for the Creator to have made it, and mankind would have had no cause to find fault with their abode; except that there is not enough room for as many as might be happy there." Such a judgment will seem but rhapsody to those who have not visited this wonderful Motherland across the sea. But after coaching nearly a thousand miles among the hills and valleys of England and Scotland, during past successive summers. I adopt his language as a foreword to this volume, and say to all who are not personally acquainted with that most delightful of lands: Go and see England: there is nothing like it under the sun!
