Excerpt from Untravelled EnglandA preface, says Stevenson, is more than an author can resist, for it is the reward of his labours but though it may be treason to differ with the Master, even on a matter of detail, with this dictum I cannot agree, for I find a preface the most difficult part of a book to write, nor would I have ventured upon one were it not that I feel certain explanations, and perhaps apologies, are due.Firstly, for the title chosen. This is by no means as accurate as I could wish, but it is the best I could come by after much deliberation. That we set forth in search of unfrequented spots is true, but it is also true that in so doing we had to pass, now and again, over familiar ground and through familiar places, so my title cannot logically be defended. Yet, for want of a better, I have boldly retained it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
