Excerpt from The Echoes of the Lakes and Mountains: Or Wonderful Things in the Lake District (Being a Companion to the Guides)
As those of Cumberland and Westmorland. The Wonderful Things unfolded in this little volume will amply bear out the assertion. The only merit we claim is for the labour of our research, and the bringing to light marvels that have existed but have been hidden by the lapse of time. As Ixingsley says on the value of Books There is nothing more wonderful than a book - a message to us from the dead - from human souls whom we never saw, yet who lived and yet these, in the little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, terrify us, teach us, and comfort us. We hope this description of a book may be applied to the one we now commend to the readers' attention. Time has consecrated and age made gray the numerous collection of the rare gleanings of our volume, and if the interest inspire the reader as much as the gleaner of them, he will not be content with the perusal of our collection, but enlarge his acquaintance by a visit to the spots, places, and antiquities, that.

Excerpt from The Echoes of the Lakes and Mountains: Or Wonderful Things in the Lake District (Being a Companion to the Guides)
All the Counties of England are rich in interesting and romantic incidents, but none so rich, rare, and varied as those of Cumberland and Westmorland. The "Wonderful Things" unfolded in this little volume will amply bear out the assertion. The only merit we claim is for the labour of our research, and the bringing to light marvels that have existed but have been hidden by the lapse of time. As Kingsley says on the value of Books: - "There is nothing more wonderful than a book! - a message to us from the dead - from human souls whom we never saw, yet who lived; and yet these, in the little sheets of paper, speak to us, amuse us, terrify us, teach us, and comfort us." We hope this description of a book may be applied to the one we now commend to the readers' attention. Time has consecrated and age made gray the numerous collection of the rare gleanings of our volume, and if the interest inspire the reader as much as the gleaner of them, he will not be content with the perusal of our collection, but enlarge his acquaintance by a visit to the spots, places, and antiquities, that have so much fascinated us.

The Echoes of the Lakes and Mountains (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This remarkable book transports readers to the breathtaking Lake District and the notorious tale of John Hatfield, the so-called "Keswick Impostor." In an era marked by rampant forgery, Hatfield's cunning and audacious schemes ensnared unsuspecting victims, leaving a trail of deception in his wake. The author delves into the psychological motivations and social context shaping Hatfield's crimes, exposing a complex and enigmatic figure. The book explores the profound emotional toll his actions took on those he wronged, particularly Mary of Buttermere, whose tragic story became a national sensation. Through the lens of this extraordinary case, the book examines the intricate interplay between truth and falsehood, the fragility of identity, and the enduring power of human resilience. It offers a fascinating glimpse into a turbulent period of English history, where the rise of forgery reflected societal anxieties and the relentless pursuit of wealth and status. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330852293_0
