Excerpt from Windsor Castle and the Water-Way Thither Professing the same catholicity, we have no intention to depreciate other rivers in order to exalt the Thames, or to' depreciate the Thames in order to aggrandise its supposed rivals. We love them all - Clyde, Tay, Tweed, Don, Severn, Tamar, Dart, and Avon. We say that each has a beauty peculiar, and, so to Speak, indigenous to itself. But, in justice to the Thames, we would object to the Charge of monotony that is sometimes levelled at it. To him who will go far enough afield, the variety of the Thames will be sufficiently notable. It has, as at Cliffe, its lofty bluffs of chalk, rising erect like a sea-washed promontory. It has its broad stretches of level marsh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
