Excerpt from The Lives of John Wicliff, and of the Most Eminent of His Disciples: Lord Cobham, John Huss, Jerome of Prague, and ZiscaIn ﬂocks unnumbered. Like a pitchy cloud, Birds of ill omen round the fabric ﬂy, Here build their nests, and nurse their callow brood,. And scare the timorous soul with boeding cry. Here Surzasrn'wn holds her dreary reign, And her lip-labour'd orisons she plies In Tongue unknown, when morn bedews the plain, Or evening skirts with gold the western skies; To the dumb flock she bends, or sculptur'd wall, And many a cross she makes, and many a bead lets fall.Near tothe dome a magic pair reside Prompt to deceive, and practis'd to confound; Here hood-wint Ignorance is seen to bide, Stretching in darksome cave along the ground; No object dawns upon his stupid eyes, Nor voice articulate arrests his ears, Save when beneath the moon pale spectres rise, And haunt his soul with visionary fears.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Observations on the Western Parts of England: Relative Chiefly to Picturesque Beauty, to Which Are Added, a Few Remarks on the Picturesque Beauties of the Isle of Wight (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Remarks on Forest Scenery and Other Woodland Views, Vol. 1 of 2In illustrating the present edition of the Forest Scenery, it has been our endeavour to interfere as little as possible with the arrangement originally adopted by Mr Gilpin; we have therefore, considered it best to introduce each respective portion of our observations immediately after the original matter to which it refers; and, to distinguish our remarks the more perfectly, the reader will observe that they are printed in a smaller type than those of Mr Gilpin. Whilst our efforts to avoid disturbing his plan have naturally deprived us, on the one hand, of the power of concentrating our notices as much as we might have otherwise done, they have, on the other hand, given us the greater freedom of miscellaneous writing. By this means we have been enabled to introduce some useful information about forest trees in general, and to describe many of those foreign trees which are individually worthy of attention, either from their own nature, or as being capable of domestication with us in Britain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
