Excerpt from Our Old Home, Vol. 2 of 2 The country between Oxford and Blen heim is not particularly interesting, being almost level, or undulating very slightly; nor is Oxfordshire, agriculturally, a rich part of England. We saw one or two hamlets, and I especially remember a pic turesque Old gabled house at a turnpike gate, and, altogether, the wayside scenery had an aspect of old-fashioned English life; but there was nothing very memorable till we reached Woodstock, and stopped to water our horses at the Black Bear. This neighborhood is called New Woodstock, but has by no means the brand-new appear ance of an American town, being a large village of stone houses, most of them pretty well time-worn and weather-stained. The Black Bear is an ancient inn, large and respectable, with balustraded staircases, and intricate passages and corridors, and queer old pictures and engravings hanging in the entries and apartments. We ordered a lunch (the most delightful of English insti tutions, next to dinner) to be ready against our return, and then resumed our drive to Blenheim.

Excerpt from Our Old Home and English Note-Books, Vol. 2 July 4th. - I left Leamington on Monday, shortly after twelve, having been accompanied to the railway station by U and J, whom I sent away before the train started. While I was waiting, a rattier gentlemanly, well-to-do, English-looking man sat down by me, and began to talk of the Crimea, of human affairs in general, of God and his Providence, of the coming troubles of the world, and of spiritualism, in a strange free way for an Englishman, or, indeed, for any man. It was easy to see that he was an enthusiast of some hue or other. He being bound for Birmingham and I for Rugby, we soon had to part; but he asked my name, and told me his own, which I did not much at tend to, and immediately forgot. [Here follows a long account of a visit to Lichfield and Uttoxeter, condensed in "Our Old Home."] July 6th. - The day after my arrival, by way of Lichfield and Uttoxeter, to Liverpool, the door of the Consulate opened, and in came the very sociable personage who accosted me at the railway station at Leamington.

Excerpt from The Old Manor House, Vol. 2 What, for God's sake has happened to you? Said he, interrupting one sister, and addressing his hur ried inquiry to the other. Tell him, Selina, said Isabella, and ask him how he would act if he were situated as I am - I will go to my own room. What is all this, my dear girl? Said Orlando, as soon as she had left the room: Isabella seems less affected than you are! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Home, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, Family Cares and Family Joys I know that I am old, old before my time; that I am ugly and disagreeable, unpleasant, and perhaps ridiculous; but I do not think that nature intended me to be so. I have gone through life in such infinite solitude; neither father nor mother, brother nor sister, have followed my path; no sunshine fell upon my childhood or my youth; I have wandered solitarily through life, combating with difficulties. Once I bound myself to a friend, - he deserted me, and thence grew the rock about my heart; thence became my demeanour severe, unattractive, and rough. Is it to remain so always? Will my life never bloom upon earth? Will no. Breath of heaven call forth my roses? Do you fear my melancholy temperament? Oh, you have not seen how a glance, a word of yours chases every cloud from my brow; not because you are beautiful, but because you are good and pure.

Excerpt from The Old Hall, or Our Hearth and Homestead, Vol. 2 of 3 To this idol, and from everything else, my friend turned hls earthly devotion. I know little, perhaps nothing, of love in the sense of its purity but my belief is, that there was more of the scorching heat of passion in the feeling than the affection of a more sober judg ment. However this might be, he loved her well if J calons to almost an'in sane degree, he seldom permitted her to be out of his sight, and, with the exception of myself, never'allo'wed anybody to visit them at home. Thus by many he was regarded as a love-sick, uxorious simpleton, and by a few a man in the incipient stage of madness. Within three months of their marriage, the revolutionary war broke out in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Our Old Home, and English Note-Books, Vol. 2 of 4 Coming to St. Michael's Church, we saw a man digging a grave, and, scrambling out of the hole, he let us into the churchyard, which was crowded full of monuments. Their general shape and construction are peculiar to Scotland, being a perpendicular tablet of marble or other stone, within a framework of the same material, somewhat resembling the frame of a looking-glass; and, all over the churchyard, these se pulchral memorials rise to the height of ten, fifteen, or twenty feet, forming quite an imposing collection of monuments, but inscribed with names of small general significance. It was easy, indeed, to ascertain the rank of those who slept below; for in Scotland it is the custom to put the occupation of the buried person age (as Skinner, Shoemaker, Flesher on his tombstone. As another peculiarity, wives are buried under their maiden names, instead of those of their husbands; thus giving a disagreeable impression that the married pair have hidden each other an eternal farewell on the edge of the grave.

Excerpt from At Home, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel The internal arrangements were on the same model. A large hall, with a fire-place; a smaller one for the two staircases: four rooms surrounding' these. Every body knows the rest of the place. Out of the four rooms, two were drawing rooms, thrown together with folding-doors; and furnished, tassel for tassel, the same as nine tenths of the drawing-rooms in the parish of Mary-le-bone. Even the owers had a town look; instead of growing with country luxu riance, they were crammed into green-painted wire-baskets; and the very parterres rivalled the shady bouquets of London. The Regent's Park is infinitely more rural. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
