Homeward Bound

The coast of England though infinitely finer than our own is more remarkable for its verdure and for a general appearance of civilisation than for its natural beauties. The chalky cliffs may seem bold and noble to the American though compared to the granite piles that buttress the Mediterranean they are but mole-hills; and the travelled eye seeks beauties instead in the retiring vales the leafy hedges and the clustering towns that dot the teeming island.
