It is a testament to Buchan's talent as a writer and his enduring legacy as one of Scotland's most beloved authors.Can you wonder that, when the following noon I saw Santa Chiara sleeping in its green circlet of meadows, my thought was only of a deep draught and a cool chamber? I protest that I am a great lover of natural beauty, of rock and cascade, and all the properties of the poet: but the enthusiasm of Rousseau himself would sink from the stars to earth if he had marched since breakfast in a cloud of dust with a throat like the nether millstone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
