DEDICATION
'Only those who see take off their shoes. The restsit round and pluck blackberries and stain theirfaces with the natural hue of them.'
'I am told there are people who do not care formaps, and find it hard to believe. The names, theshapes of the woodlands, the courses of the roadsand rivers, the prehistoric footsteps of man stilldistinctly traceable up hill and down dale, the millsand the ruins, the ponds and the ferries, perhapsthe Standing Stone or the Druidic Circle on theheath; here is an inexhaustible fund of interest forany man with eyes to see or twopence worth ofimagination to understand with.'
R. L. STEVENSON.
