Book Description
Excerpt from Devonshire Idyls Impressionists of the new school, reading their own melancholy into a humanity they look at with a half contemptuous pity, would fain have us believe that life is scarcely worth living on any terms - certainly not, when money is short, and food means daily toil, and the care of children interferes with preconceived notions of love and pleasure. In these days of hurry and competition, there is no doubt that the art and joy of humble life, as Ruskin puts it, is in danger of being lost from among us. Half a century ago, there were traces of such an art existing in many a Devonshire home, where dwelt simple country folk lapped in sweet content. These tales relate some of the incidents of those bygone times. They would have no merit if they were not absolutely true, except in unessential details of name and place.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Devonshire The Editor takes this opportunity of rectifying two omissions in his preliminary sketch. Owing to some accident, he failed to refer to the defence of Dartmouth against the attack of Du Chastel in 1404. This event was memorable on account of the active part taken by the women, who, Amazon-like, hurled Hints and pebbles on the French, and thus expedited their retirement. The other omission concerns the abortive Cavalier rising of 1655. Penruddock and Groves, the leaders in the afiair (for which they suffered death at Exeter), were both Wiltshire men, but it is certainly interesting that an attempt which might have antedated the Restoration by five years was initiated by the proclamation of Charles II. At South Molton - a town of the county of which George Monk, to whom the Merry Monarch owed his crown, was a native.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bygone Years: Recollections T has been often remarked that few men above the age of eighty retain any activity of mind. Although I have long passed that age, I do not perceive that my mind, which was never active, is less so than it was. What is gradually failing me is memory, and if I am to relate a few incidents of my life, I must do so at once. I cannot attempt to write an autobiography, but merely to jot down some recollections which may be found of interest. It is curious how uncertain memory becomes at an advanced age. Whilst I remember a number of unimportant events, I find it difficult to call to mind the broad outlines of my life. I can, therefore, only offer a disconnected account of it, for which I crave the indulgence of any one who may be inclined to glance over these pages. It may be extended to me because the whole of these recollections have been written since I attained my eighty-sixth birthday, and because I possess no notes or journals to assist me, except those from which I have taken descriptions of Spain, India and Russia, which I wrote at the request of my uncle, the Duke of Devonshire.
