Excerpt from The Lure of the Map, Vol. 2
Recollections that at the height of the Land League troubles in Ireland the anxious politicians at Dublin Castle found time to unbend over literature, and that a stock topic of the literary journalists engaged their august attention. On the old question, writes Lord Morley, what author one would take to a desert island, Asquith was for Balzac; of course Shakespeare and the Bible were given in, though perhaps not most read. As a literary journalist myself I had had occasion to consider the question, and had come to the conclusion that I should myself choose an Atlas. It is wonderful what entertainment there is to be got out of an Atlas, with some experience of travel and a' little imagination. You can plan tours that are often as vivid as the real thing and more satisfactory.
