Excerpt from An Englishman in Ireland: Impressions of a Journey in a Canoe by River, Lough and CanalIT is sixteen years Since you introduced me, a school boy, to the pleasures of cammng, and I first slept in a tent Within a few yards of the Atlantic. In those days I was deeply concerned about such matters as por ridge, beef, railway trains, weather conditions, un familiar places, and even philosophy, and your cithem, P.'s songs, and s.'s Hamlet held a high place in the scheme of creation. I am now more than twice as old, but am still concerned about the same things. You, I know, have gone from the lesser to the greater, and of your feats of seamanship on perilous coasts I have heard reports which I should regard as fabulous were they not well attested. This book is concerned with experiences diminutive in comparison. But at any rate, for what it is worth, here it is.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
