Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Seaport Towns of New England This informal and personal account of a trip through a group of towns with whose story the brave beginnings of our history are linked, seems to ask for a prefatory word because of this very informality. The book is more in the nature of an afternoon tea chat than any serious presentment of fact; and I feel, therefore, like establishing at the threshold an easy and friendly note with such readers as may decide to drop in and share with me the impressions of a spring outing whose keynote was the spirit of vacation. Here, where the long Pacific roller breaks its majesty on the shores of California, I look back with a deep feeling of affection to that Atlantic coastline where my forefathers began their great American job. There is a masculine fibre to that rocky and winter-bitten coast lacking on this Western shore - complemented, rather, by a softer a feminine, quality, that has its own charm. As for beauty, who shall say? Beauty is everywhere, with its thousand aspects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
