Excerpt from Kipling's SussexFor a Guide Book will tell you always what are the principal and most vulgar Sights of a town what moun tains are most difficult to climb, and, invariably, the exact distances between one place and another. But these things do not serve the End of Man. The end of man is Happiness, and how much happier are you with such a knowledge? Now there are some Guide Books which do make little excursions now and then into the important things, which tell you (for instance) what kind of cooking you will find in what places, what kind of wine in countries where this beverage is publicly known, and even a few, more daring than the rest, will give a hint or two upon hiring mules, and upon the way that a bargain Should be conducted, or how to fight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
