Excerpt from Cornwall
To the mind of the ordinary Briton there is a curious attraction in getting as far as you can a streak in mentality Which has accounted in no small degree for the world-wide Empire. In England you cannot in one direction get any farther than the extreme point of Cornwall. Owing to the geographical configuration of Cornwall, the idea is magnified very vigorously into a really gallant effort to get there, such as might be made by an individual stretching out not only to his full stride, but indulging in a good kick! We feel in very truth we have got there, on to the edge of something or somewhere. As Wilkie Collins expresses it, the Land's End is the sort of place where the last man in England would be most likely to be found waiting for death at the end of the world!
