Excerpt from Old Chelsea a Summer-Day's Stroll I have always loved to wander over the scenes in habited by men I have known, admired, loved, or revered, as well amongst the living as the dead. The spots inhabited and preferred by a great man during his pas sage on the earth have always appeared to me the surest and most speaking relic of himself: a kind of material manifestation of his genius - a mute revelation of a portion of his soul - a living and sensible commentary on his life, actions, and thoughts. Lomortz'no, Pilgrim nge to toe Holy Land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
