Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Not illustrated. 1863 edition. Excerpt: ... season foe visiting the valley. The time when the scenery of this valley is seen to the greatest advantage is, from the middle of August till about the middle of October; at that season of the year there is a fine proportion of natural harmony in colour through the whole scale of objects;--in the tender green of the aftergrass upon the meadows; in the masses of grey or mossy rock, crowned by shrubs and trees; in the small irregular patches of standing corn, or stubble fields; in the hill sides glowing with fern of divers hues; in the calm and bright reaches of the river; and in the foliage of the trees, through all the tints of autumn--from the pale and brilliant yellow of the birch and ash, to the deep green of the unfaded oak and alder, and the ivy upon the trees and rocks. The nest best time is probably in the latter part of May and the month of June, as then the days are long and the weather generally fine; and there is a novelty in seeing the country put on its summer dress. The native trees(are scarcely in full leaf, but the want of depth of shade is compensated by the diversity of foliage,--in the blossoms of the fruit and berry bearing trees, which abound in the woods; in the golden flowers of the broom, which is found in many of the copses and gills. In the woods also, such as Ravensgill, Guy's-cliffe, and i others, with a northern aspect, and in the deep dells, many of the spring flowers still linger, while the more open and sunny places are stocked with the flowers of approaching summer. And over all, there is the pleasure of listening to the music of the thrushes and linnets, chanting their songs in the copses, woods, and hedgerows; and the larks thrilling theirs in the bright blue air above, "O'er fell and fountain sheen,...
