In the book "Of Walks and Walking Tours: An Attempt to find a Philosophy and a Creed," Arnold Haultain shares his love and skill for walking. His walks are not short or easy in common sense. Today, we call them treks or hikes. But, in his terms, a 40-mile outing is a regular walk. The author gives tips on picking the proper clothing or packing the food for a walk. Other chapters include notes on the spirituality of nature, practical transcendentalism, the mood for walking, evening meditations, and the instinct for walking.

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.

Excerpt from Of Walks and Walking Tours: An Attempt to Find a Philosophy and a Creed The writing of this little book has given me a great deal of pleasure. That is why I hope that, here and there, it may give pleasure to others. And yet it was not an easy task. Nature's lessons are hard to learn. Harder still is it to translate Nature's lessons to others. Besides, the appeal of Nature is to the Emotions; and words are weak things (save in the hands of a great Poet) by which to convey or to evoke emotion. Words seem to be the vehicles rather of ratiocination than of emotion. Is not even the Poet driven to link words to music? And always le mot juste, the exact word, is so difficult to find! Yet found it must be if the appeal is to avail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

PREFACEThe writing of this little book has given me a great deal of pleasure. That is why I hope that, here and there, it may give pleasure to others.And yet it was not an easy task. Nature's lessons are hard to learn. Harder still is it to translate Nature's lessons to others. Besides, the appeal of Nature is to the Emotions; and words are weak things (save in the hands of a great Poet) by which to convey or to evoke emotion. Words seem to be the vehicles rather of ratiocination than of emotion. Is not even the Poet driven to link words to music? And always le mot juste, the exact word, is so difficult to find! Yet found it must be if the appeal is to avail.If, in these pages, there are scattered speculations semi-mystical, semi-intelligible, perhaps even transcending the boundaries of rigid logic, I must simply aver that I put in writing that only which was given me to say. How or whence it came, I do not know.--And this, notwithstanding (or, perhaps, in a way, corroborative of) my own belief that no thought is autogenous, but has parents and a pedigree.I have tried, quite humbly, to follow, as motto, the sentence chosen from Spinoza. Yet, with that sentence always should be read this other, taken from Pascal: "La dernière démarche de la raison, c'est de reconnaître qu'il y a une infinité de choses qui la surpassent."--Always emotion, imagination, feeling, faith, try to soar above reason; and always they feel the inadequacy of words.I have incorporated in this book some parts of my "Two Country Walks in Canada"--now long out of print (itself comprising an article from The Nineteenth Century and another from Blackwood's); also (with the permission of the editor) an article in The Atlantic Monthly Magazine; and Sections 22 and 23 first appeared in The Canadian Magazine.Geneva, 1914.CONTENTSCHAPTERPAGEI.Golf and Walking1II.The Essence of a Walk5III.Notable Walkers9IV.My Earliest Walks15V.India17VI.English Byways21VII.A Spring Morning in England25VIII.Autumn Reveries29IX.Spirituality of Nature34X.Practical Transcendentalism40XI.Spring in Canada45XII.Autumn in Canada53XIII.Winter in Canada59XIV.The Mood for Walking72XV.Evening Meditations78XVI.The Unity of Nature91XVII.Instinct for Walking103XVIII.A Woeful Walk105XIX.Autumn in Canada again107XX.The Walking Tour133XXI.The Tramp's Dietary140XXII.Practical Details152XXIII.The Beauty of Landscape159XXIV.Warnings to the Over-Zealous180XXV.How that all points to the Infinite188XXVI.The Pleasures of Walking198XXVII.Is Walking Selfish?216XXVIII.The Pæan of Being223 Index227

In 1888 the dreaded figure of Jack the Ripper stalked London's East End murdering prostitutes. His crimes set in motion a huge police operation and have held a dark fascination over the public's imagination for over a century, yet his identity has never been proved. Now, for the first time, two leading Ripper experts have joined forces to treat the case like a police investigation. Drawing on their unparalleled knowledge of the Jack the Ripper murders and their professional experience as police officers, they uncover clues that have remained undetected for over a hundred years. There are five 'canonical' Ripper victims, yet Scotland Yard's 'Whitechapel Murders' files include another six suspected victims. Drawing the reader into the world of police investigation in Victorian London, Evans and Rumbelow reveal the conflict between the City and Metropolitan forces and the ridicule heaped on the police by the press. Investigating each murder, they conclude that only four of the eleven victims were actually killed by the Ripper. Perhaps most tellingly, they question the motives behind the destruction of evidence – particularly the message 'The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing', which was chalked on the wall near one murder site and rubbed out on order of the Chief Commissioner – and ask whether the enigmatic Dr Robert Anderson, officer in charge of the investigation, knew the Ripper's true identity. Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard Investigates strips away much of the nonsense that has accumulated since 1888 and reopens files on a case that will perhaps never be fully solved but will always fascinate.
