Description:Excerpt from Rambles by Rivers, Vol. 1 of 2: The ThamesTo enjoy a Ramble on the banks of Thames. Cowper, Task, book i.While, however, to enjoy a ramble on the banks Of Thames actually is an easy matter, to describe it, or to enjoy it in a description, is not so easy. The general character of the scenery of the Thames is that of a calm and tranquil beauty, but with so much of sameness, that a continuous account of it would speedily become tedious: yet the endeavour to enliven it by digressions, however tempting, would protract a ramble beyond any reasonable length; while to enter, except in a cursory manner, into historical or antiquarian details, would little accord with a ramble at all. The space we are to pass over is so considerable, and the objects Of in terest in our way are so many, that we must Of necessity keep close to the river and only slightly survey what catches our attention as we saunter along it. We must not pretend to notice every thing that deserves to be noticed, and we must con fine ourselves to a general view. We shall thus, however, find sufficient to occupy as-i hope with out wearying us - or at least with only occasional weariness: there are spots beside every stream so absolutely barren, that weariness must be felt even by the best tempered, and I cannot expect that my river will be found an exception.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
