Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gray Days and Gold
This book relates to the gray days of an American traveller in the mother-land and to the gold of thought and fancy that can be found there. In its prede cessor, shakespeare's england, an attempt was made to describe, in a simple, unconventional manner, lovely scenes which are inseparably intertwined with the name and memory of Shakespeare, and also to re?ect the charm of that English scenery which, to an imaginative mind, is, and must always be, impressive by reason of its gentle beauty, venerable antiquity, and romantic association, - a charm which. Has inspired much of the best English Poetry, of which Shakespeare is the fountain head. This book continues the same treat ment of kindred themes, taking them as they chanced to occur, and commenting on them in a sympathetic spirit, with no thought of assuming to be mentor or guide.
