"_Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses, whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.... All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries he may learn to improve his own, and if fortune carries him to worse he may learn to enjoy it._"

DR. JOHNSON.

"_There is given, Unto the things of earth which time hath bent, A spirit's feeling; and where he hath leant His hand, but broke his scythe, there is a power And magic in the ruined battlement, For which the palace of the present hour Must yield its pomp, and wait till ages are its dower._"

BYRON.

"_The charming, friendly English landscape! Is there any in the world like it? To a traveller returning home it looks so kind,--it seems to shake hands with you as you pass through it._"

THACKERAY.
