those who give themselves the trouble and do you the honour

of looking through what you have written become in some degree

entitled to know all about the matter they are in a sort pariners in the concern

i will therefore at once communicate to all the members of the firm that

i did not go on this little expedition because i felt any of that desire for change by which in these days

all the world appears to be driven in Jehu fashion

i have never felt any necessity for this modern nostrum

i do not find that either body or mind wears out because

i remain in one place more than twelve months together

i am a great admirer of white of selborne and i hope our present

lord chancellor new title will lead many people to ask what selborne is famous for

which perhaps may be the means of bringing more of us to become acquainted

with a book which gives so charming a picture of a most charming mind that it may be read

with most soothing delight a score of times in one life one never tires of a good pictureand

which teaches for these days the very useful lesson of how much there is to observe

and interest and to educate a mind and to give employment to it for a whole life

within the boundaries of one own parish provided only it be a rural one
