Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Lands, Letters and Kings, Vol. 11: From Elizabeth to Anne MY dear julia, - We have both known, in the past, a certain delightsome country home; you - in earliest childhood, and I - in latest youth-time: and I think we both relish those re minders - perhaps a Kodak View, or an autumn gentian plucked by the road-side, or actual glimpse of its woods, or brook, on some sum mer's drive - which have brought back the old homestead, with its great stretch of undulating meadow - its elms - its shady lanes - its singing birds - its leisurely going big-eyed oxen - its long, tranquil days, when the large heart of June was pulsing in all the leaves and all the air: Well, even so, and by these light tracings of Lands and Kings, and little whiffs of metric music, I seek to bring back to you, and to your pupils and associates (who have so kindly re ceived previous and kindred reminders) the rich memories of that great current of English let ters setting steadily forward amongst these Brit ish lands, and these sovereigns, from Elizabeth to Anne. But slight as these glimpses are, and as this synopsis may be, they will together serve. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
