A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

That verse is not now so much read as formerly is often deplored by those desiring the higher culture of the people. But may not this be due, at least in part, to those writers who, aiming at originality and profundity, render their meaning so obscure that their works are uninteresting to ordinary readers. The verses contained in this little book are simple rhymes in simple language on thoughts that must have been expressed by many in other words. But if by the plainness of the language and the simplicity or even obviousness of the thoughts, they succeed in obtaining the attention of those who would be deterred by more ambitious poetry they will have done something to widen the circle of readers of verse. The sonnets in The Tour do not aim at being descriptive, for anything approaching description would obviously be impossible in the fourteen decasyllabic lines to which the sonnet is restricted. They are rather intended to be crystallisations, as it were, of some of the chief characteristics or principal points of interest, topographical and historical, of the cities and other places dealt with. As these include many of the places of interest usually visited during a tour of the British Islands and the continent of Europe, it is hoped that THE ToUR may form a pleasant travelling companion, and serve as a reminder, at least, of features and events which have an enduring interest.
