Excerpt from Fishing and Travel in Spain: A Guide to the AnglerThere are more ways than one of seeing a fresh country. One may make a lightning tour through some of the chief towns, race through the picture-galleries, and glance at the buildings of interest.

When I wander, at home or abroad, I choose for preference a cross-country line. The hills, the rivers, and the forests, appeal to me quite as powerfully as the cities, cathedrals, and works made by hands. With the rustic person everywhere I have a sympathy. I love the open air and those who dwell where there is calm and breathing-space.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
