PREFACE
THE favor with which a few articles in the periodical press, similar tothose herewith presented, have been received induces the hope that thepresent volume may prove acceptable. If some popular literary shrineswhich are inevitably included in the writer's personal itinerary areherein accorded but scant notice, it is for the reason that they havebeen already so oft described that portrayal of them is thereforepurposely omitted from this account of a literary pilgrimage: evenStratford-on-Avon here for once escapes description. However, theinitial paragraphs of these chapters lightly outline a series ofliterary rambles which the writer has found measurably complete andconsecutive. The pilgrim is understood to make his start from London.
If these notes of his sojourns in the scenes hallowed by the presence ofBritish authors or embalmed in their books shall prove pleasant
