Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Green Fields and Whispering Woods, or the Recreations of an American "Country Gentleman" Embracing Journeys Over His Farm and Excursions Into His Library
Books can and do penetrate into every nook of our most eatended and crowded cities but every day these cities and towns enlarge their bound arise, and the sweet face of Nature is hidden from the inhabitants. We should, therefore, not only make our books breathe into the dearth of every street, court and alley the natural ailment of human hearts the love-of Nature -but rouse them like a trumpet, to get out at times and renew that animating fellowship which God designed to be maintained between the soul of man and the beauty of the universe.
