About This Book

A brisk travel narrative that escorts readers through cathedral towns and notable landscapes across Ireland, England, and Scotland, pairing on-site descriptions of cities, cathedrals, lakes, mountains, ruins, and watering-places with concise historical and biographical background. Originating from amended newspaper reminiscences, the chapters combine personal observation and practical travel detail with compiled facts from authorities, delivering scene-setting accounts of architecture, antiquities, and local customs. Organized regionally, it alternates lively impressions and critical commentary with useful itineraries and indices, aiming to inform general readers who seek both picturesque description and accessible historical context.

FOOTNOTE:

[1] There is no uniformity in the spelling of this name. The oldest records of the family give it as Shakspere. In the poet's will it is spelled Shakspeare, and is so signed by him. Whenever he and his friend Ben Jonson caused it to be printed, they spelled it Shakespeare. In this form we find it in almost every book of that period where it appears at all. And so we have it on his wife's tombstone. The probabilities are, that the later spelling was the one most approved by the poet himself, as giving more correctly the usual pronunciation.
