About the Book

Excerpt from An Illustrated and Descriptive Guide to the Great Railways of England and Their Connections With the Continent

Our life of to-day is a life of change which is constantly developing. The world has grown older, wiser, and more epicurean. If we eat less and drink less, we make up for these shortcomings by an imperious demand for more subtle enjoyments. Our claim is for new scenes, new emotions, and new phases of life, and one result of this is, that we are constantly on the wing. We crave for change as our forefathers craved for the excitement of boxing, bull-baiting, and rat-killing. In our wider intellectual sympathies we bring the world within our ken, and railways and steamboats minister to our wants. One man essays to reach the North Pole, a second takes a holiday trip through Central Africa, whilst a third passes from continent to continent until he has girdled the earth in his peregrinations. These are the more marked features of our life of to-day. In its modest phases, it Hits to and fro between those localities which are famous from their associations with the past or fashionable from their connection with the whim of the present. In the quieter portions of the country the older residents migrate to the sea shore and enjoy the sea air at one or other of the watering-places scattered round our coast. Their numbers testify to their wide popularity and the general advantages they bring. Men who are weary of work, equally with men who are weary of monotony, find renewed health springs from the change, and they gather new life as they linger on the borders of the sea. Whitby and Morecombe, Brighton and Ilfracombe, Scarborough and Torquay, illustrate the various positions from the far north to the extreme south. At one and all there is the same teaching, a desire to reap the charm of the hour, and they find that which they seek, either in some quiet nook where the ceaseless plash of the waves on the shore brings a lulling sense of repose, or amid some brilliant throng where excitement kills care. Amid such conditions men and women find new charms in life and reap fresh enjoyment from the undying law of change.
