Présentation de l'éditeur
When you go anywhere for a serious purpose, you make a journey ;but if you go for pleasure (and dont take the pleasure too seriously, as many do) you only ramble. The sketches in this volume, which takes its name from the first chapter, are based upon rambles, which were for the most part merely incidental excursions, made possible by various journeys undertaken for more serious purposes. It has been the practice of the author for many years to carry a camera on his travels, so that, if chance should take him within easy distance of some place of literary, historic, or scenic interest, he might not miss the opportunity to pursue his favorite avocation. If the reader is asked to make long flights, as from Scotland to I taly, then back, across the A tlantic, to New England, and thence overland to Wyoming and A rizona, he must remember that ramblers take no account of distance or direction. In this case they must take no account of time, for these rambles are but the chance happenings that have occurred at intervals in a period of more than a dozen years.
