Excerpt from A Forest Holiday: A Brief Account of a Summer Holiday Spent in Epping Forest; With Reminiscences of Chingford, Chigwell, Loughton, Waltham Abbey, Sewardstone, Epping, Etc., Romantic Walks and Drives Through the Forest, and Many Other Interesting Details T may seem a startling fact, but true it is nevertheless, that thousands of business men never have a holiday, not for want of money, but simply because their many engagements prevent their taking long journeys, or being out of reach of their letters. It is for such as these we purpose giving a brief account of a lovely woodland spot, as secluded as if two hundred miles away, and yet within half an hour's journey of London, and with every home comfort, in the centre of Epping Forest.
