Excerpt from B. C. 1887: A Ramble in British Columbia "To any person who has all his senses about him a quiet walk along not more than ten or twelve miles of road a day is the most amusing of all travelling.... If advancing thus slowly after some days we approach any more interesting scenery, every yard of the changeful ground becomes precious and piquant, and the continual increase of hope and of surrounding beauty affords one of the most exquisite enjoyments possible to the healthy mind, besides that real knowledge is acquired of whatever it is the object of travelling to learn, and a certain sublimity given to all places, so attained, by the true sense of the spaces of earth that separate them." - Ruskin. "Reading makes us intelligent and learn about things we would otherwise hear nothing. "It is pleasant to recapitulate stories to persons who probably have not had the opportunity of reading them, and it therefore passes many a dreary hour away and makes many a person renew his happiness by hoping for such a favourable end as some characters as are described in the book." - English as she is taught.
