Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1880 edition. Excerpt: ... book. Rocks Literature is not poetical; and the title is justified only by the fact that these contributions have been inspired by the sublimities and beauties of that wonder of nature, the Rocks of Deer Creek, with their romantic contiguities and surroundings. Could I have said "The Curiosties of Literature," the name giv"en by Disraeli the elder to that confessedly most curious collection of literary gems which bears that title, I should assuredly be content, assuming, of course, that my collection would bear some proper relation in their literary qualities to that unique gathering of rare intellectualities. No other title could I use, because the literature I collect bears relation to but one thing--the Rocks of Deer Creek and their surroundings. And I am shut up to the necessity of using the material I have, material not created by myself, save one short essay, but by others, and for the quality of which I am in no degree responsible. I am not to be understood, however, as disparaging the efforts of the writers in prose and in poetry whose contributions I shall insert in this book. I have no doubt that many of the readers of them will derive both pleasure and profit in their perusal. I make these contributions a part of this volume, because they are a part of the history, so to speak, of the Rocks, and because they show that the Rocks are potent in inspiration. The literature of the Rocks is abundant--sufficient, perhaps, to make a volume respectable in size. It is in accordance with my plan to limit my collection to a few selections. The first was written some years ago by a girl of tender years, and was, perhaps, her first effort in such writing. The Rocks Of Deer Creek.. "Nature, in her delineations, ever delights in giving...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Rocks of Deer Creek: Harford County, Maryland; Their Legends and History My residence is about a mile, as the bird flies, from the celebrated Rocks of Deer Creek. I first saw this great natural curiosity in the Spring of 1844. I was then young, and did not dream that my advanced years would be passed almost under its shadows. But He who appoints the bounds of our habitations has so ordered. To-day I occupy the place which I have named, for peculiar reasons, "Shirley, near the Rocks." Since I have lived in this locality I have been observant of much apparent interest in the Rocks, and have read numerous compositions, both in prose and poetry, descriptive of them. These were generally the essays of the young, inspired by the beauties and sublimities of the scenes around them. Of the objects seen, none have excited more interest than the King and Queen Seats. Who made them? - for what purpose were they used? - have been frequent enquiries. These interrogatories suggested the writing of "The Last King and Queen of the Rocks of Deer Creek." Having done so for the instruction and entertainment of the young people especially, it occurred to me that a series of sketches, mingling fact with fancy, might give them pleasure, and, perhaps, be of some profit to them. These I have written, and they are to be found in this small and unpretentious volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
