Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Marie Madeleine: Countess of La Fayette I have also seen the features of her age as they touched upon and influenced her life and character. Yet, when all is said, to reconstruct the life of this grande dame of the seventeenth century is, I am aware, a difficult task, one which requires, first of all, as Matthew Arnold says, a personal attraction towards one's subject. This personal attraction is indeed my excuse for undertaking the task; and, like Tristram Shandy, I throw myself on my reader's indulgen Like him I say.

Lift-luck on Southern Roads
Author: Tickner Edwardes
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Country life
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
"So here for you is the tale of my latest solitary ramble. The journey covers, as you shall see, some two hundred odd miles, through five southern counties, and was conceived on an unusual plan. For I went neither on foot, nor by any of the wonted means of conveyance beloved of tourists; neither by motor, nor cycle, phaeton nor ambling nag. Moreover, I kept clear of the main roads, and, with two exceptions, the great towns; shunned nearly all the guide-book points of interest; sought out the least frequented lanes and by-paths; and found my history in the happy places that have no history, other than that writ large over their moss-green roofs and lichened walls - the English villages, which - as I look back on the long white road of the journey - lie in the memory now like pearls on a silver string." --Take from dedication.
