Lift-Luck on Southern Roads

Abstract

HERE is a pleasantly written description of a journey, of some two hundred miles, through five southern English counties, on an unusual plan. Mr. Edwardes says, “My plan consisted in waiting by the roadside or strolling gently onward, until something on wheels, it mattered not what, overtook me … by dint of laying under use the whole gamut of country perambulation, at length, after many days of travel, I found myself at my journey's end.” Having only a camera and a pack, the author was able to go into every byway he fancied and investigate any subject which presented itself. His account of his wanderings and his illustrations will delight all lovers of the country.
