Excerpt from Landscape in Poetry From Homer to Tennyson: With Many Illustrative Examples Preface ¿ among the many movements of the human mind during the nineteenth century not the least worthy of note has been the greatly wider prominence and popularity reached by land scape art, not only in the form of picture and drawing, but as diffused by multiplied forms of reproduction, and by photo graphy. The manifold sources of interest and pleasure thus opened to civilised nations - to England in particular, long the favourite home of this art - are obvious. Nor, perhaps, would it be possible to name any other line of development and advance more innocent and wholesome, or more free from the counterpoising evils which, with a sad, an almost uniform frequency, lie in wait upon every step forward or onward that mankind can take.
