Excerpt from The Peacock at Rowsley: Where Andrew, Alexis, and the Naturalist Met, And What Came of Their Visit Some years ago, when on a trip through the Peak of Derbyshire, it was our good fortune to halt for a short season at the "Peacock, " and we were so much struck with the quaint character of the house itself, the picturesque nature of the scenery around it, and the many interesting objects, and associations of the district, that we determined to make it the scene of a series of papers. Bringing several persons of different tastes, pursuits, habits, and modes of thought together, we made them discourse to each other upon their favourite topics, and occasionally making allusion to places, objects, and circumstances in the neighbourhood. These papers appeared originally in the Field, and apparently created considerable interest, judging by the repeated requests which have been made to us to re-print them in a collected form. We now comply with that request. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
