Excerpt from Rambles Beyond Railways: Or Notes in Cornwall Taken a-Foot
If, in dismissing the second edition of "Rambles beyond Railways" from the Press, it had been only necessary to mention that I have corrected some little errors which had crept into the first, this prefatory advertisement would, I think, have been scarcely required. I am obliged, however, to obtrude myself on the reader's notice by a very pressing necessity. Circumstances have occurred, which absolutely force me to apologize for my own Title-page!
Since this work first appeared, the all-conquering Railway has invaded Cornwall; and the title of my book has become a misnomer already.
Am I willing to change it? - Certainly not. It was strictly descriptive of the state of the county, when my companion and I walked through Cornwall - it marks the period, and is connected with the remembrance, of our tour - and it has an attaching influence for me, as being associated with a book which has been very kindly received by the public.
