Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Town; Its Memorable Characters and Events
IN one of those children's books which contain reading fit for the manliest, and which we have known to interest very grave and even great men, there is a pleasant chapter entitled Eyesand no Eyes, or the Art of Seeing.1 The two heroes of it come home successively from a walk in the same road, one Of them having seen only a heath and a hill, and the meadows by the water-side, and therefore having seen nothing; the other expatiating on his de lightful ramble, because the heath presented him with curious birds, and the hill with the remains of a camp, and the meadows with reeds, and rats, and herons, and kingfishers, and sea-shells, and a man catching eels, and a glorious sunset.
