Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reginald Dalton
Reginald dalton had always a singular pleasure in re calling those images of perfect repose with which he was surrounded, at the remotest period to which his remem brance could go back, - the little sequestered parsonage house, embosomed among elms and sycamores - the old fashioned garden, with its broad turf walks - the long happy days spent in bright sunshine by the side Of the shining lake - the unwearied kindnesses of the mildest of parents.
There are few Of us whose Oldest impressions are not, as his were, serene and delightful and I, for one, cannot, I must confess, divest myself of a sort of half pleasing, half melancholy anticipation, that should age ever draw a defacing hand over the strongest lines imprinted by the stirring events of youth and manhood, the harmless trea sures of infant memory - the trivial fond records - may be spared amidst the havoc.
