Shelley, Henry C. Literary by-paths in old England; il. **$3. Little.
It is over the English footpaths that the reader is invited to journey in meditative mood with eye and ear eager for sights and sounds unfamiliar to the more frequented highway. The haunts of Spenser, Sir Philip Sidney, William Penn, Burns, Keats, Carlyle are all visited, also the birthplace of Gray’s “Elegy” and Goldsmith’s “Deserted Village.” The volume is generously illustrated with reprints from photographs.
“The novelty of the work does not consist so much in new discoveries, for there are none of consequence, as in presenting his subjects in a light not usual.” Wallace Rice.
