Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Sanchia: Upon Things as They Are; Extracted From A desire has been more than nonce expressed that the Letters upon Affairs at Large which my friend Mr. Senhouse addressed to his friend Miss Sanchia Percival should be published in a convenient form; and as nobody can be more anxious than myself that his opinions should be widely known, I have prevailed upon my publishers to allow me to extract them, together with the necessary matter of explanation, from that true tale, Open Country, in which I was first allowed to put them before the world. It is proper that I should now explain that the Introduction and the sections of the text within square brackets are only varied from what appears in Open Country so far as is rendered necessary by this present Edition of the Letters. The Letters themselves are reprinted verbatim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

On a certain May morning in the year 1885 he rose as usual, dressed as usual in grey flannel trousers, white sweater, and pair of nailed boots; breakfasted as usual upon an egg and some coffee, and walked out of his rooms, out of his college, out of Cambridge, never to return.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... fourth letter on civilisation The writer stayed out the winter at Land's End, engaged in the absorbing pursuit of naturalising Alpine plants upon the faces of rock there. He had much to tell Sanchia of this work of his--of his failure in past years and hopes for future. We read of Androsace lanuginosa, Draba aeizoides, of Lithospermum prostratum (o blue sheet of that), and of Ramondia pyrenaica, 'that exquisite rosette of dark green and mauve, of which I can never have enough. Rejoice with me, Queen of Flowers and Faery. I have three--three!--self-sown plants of it, which will flower in April. I must be here to see; and it would be well that you were here also.' His enthusiasm over this growing passion for transforming England by means of flowers goes well in hand with his social schemes. He had, in fact, discovered his life-work. 'England a garden!' he cries out in a letter to Sanchia, 'and Englishmen the gardeners! I'll die for that war-shout. Isn't it finer than your All-red map, K, Ch and Co.? Oh, men, throw down your big drums and concertinas; forsake your beanfeasts and city dinners; take up your spades and follow me! What is your bombast about, if not to make this panting country more fat and less able to move; its workmen richer and so more idle. Pah, you dullards, what's worth having beside work?' He turns to rend the opposite camp. 'And you, trades unionists, with your eight hours' day--do you know what you are about? You are slaying manhood, that's what you're doing. Every hour you get docked off your work-time will be spent gaping at a football match, or goading whippers to kill wired-in rabbits. And what's the worth of a man glutted with dead rabbits, or hoarse with ravings at the Oval? If he played his football I might have...
