Excerpt from Half-Hours of Travel at Home and Abroad: Europe Three times Elizabeth was his guest. Her last visit was in July, 1575, and lasted seventeen days. Of the festivi ties and princely entertainments he prepared for her on this occasion Sir Walter Scott has written with all that natural enthusiasm and predilection with which, perhaps, above all other English novelists, he dilated upon such a subject. His graphic descriptions of these scenes are so familiar to the million that I will not venture to go behind his brilliant fictions in search of actual historical facts of duller interest. The day of such favorites has gone by, like the beauty and glory of this once gorgeous fabric. The sun of Christian morality and civilization has risen to a purer ood of light, and such broad-faced gallant ries would now be looked out of countenance in high places. The facing Of the massive and lofty Caesar's Tower must be nearly three centuries old, and it is wonderfully perfect. The perpendicular lines from base to battlement are as straight as if the walls were run in a mould; the eye can not detect a de ection of a hair's breadth, nor has time been able to eat into the smooth and even surface. I noticed, however, that the brave old ivy green, which braids such bandages for the wounds made by time and human violence in abbeys and castles, had wound around the front of this huge tower such a thick spread that it had deadened the skin of the wall and was eating into the solid body of it like a caustic blister. There were men at work on tall ladders, removing this thick green bandage and letting the sun in upon the stone, which had not seen its light for years.

Excerpt from Half-Hours of Travel at Home and Abroad The world is growing very narrow in these late nine teenth century days. In place of the crawling slowness of former travel, the steamship and steam-railway now fairly hurl travellers over the face of the earth, while by aid of the far-extending wire we are able to talk freely with our neighbors of the antipodes. From Dan to Beersheba has now become from New York to New South Wales, or from Chicago to bong-kong. And yet this growing neighborliness does not decrease, but rather re doubles, our interest in the scenes and people of foreign lands. Nature retains her variety, nor is man's unity much increased by his growing propinquity. Tropic and Arctic lands are as far apart in condition as ever; Europe differs from Asia, America from Africa, as greatly as of yore; man still presents every grade of development, from the lowest savagery to the highest civilization; and our interest in the marvels of nature and art, the variety of plant and animal life, and the widely varied habits and conditions, modes of thought and action, of mankind, is not likely soon to lose its zest.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
