Excerpt from New Wheels in Old Ruts: A Pilgrimage to Canterbury Via the Ancient Pilgrim's Way
My chief regret, however, is that the photographs taken en route by my friend, Mr. J. W. Church, have had to be omitted from this edition. Not only are they of exceptional technical excellence, but both author and artist had relied upon them to supply the defects of pen and pencil with regard to the scenery in the valleys of the Medway and Stour.

Excerpt from New Wheels in Old Ruts: A Pilgrimage to Canterbury Via the Ancient Pilgrim's Way
In case anybody doesn't like this book, I may as well explain that I intended to have written something very different. The work was to have teemed with profound archaeological research and solid learning. But I got into bad company and was led astray. The little frailties of my fellow pilgrims proved more attractive matter for my purpose than more serious subjects. After all, neither Chaucer nor Erasmus were quite able to resist the same temptation.
