Originally published in 1897, this work contains a description of the author's navigation of the River Thames and his experiences along the way. This is a lovely book for anyone with an interest in boating holidays. The following passage is an extract from the work: 'IN this pleasure-sailing and wayfaring journey through the valley of the regal Thames we are in quest of the wooded splendours, the green and silvery beauties and the ever-glowing charms and attractions of the romantic and historic stream; the sparkle of its life; its famous memories, its associations with princes, statesmen, and poets, its legendary lore, and the palaces and celebrated houses that over- look its stream. Where should such a survey begin ? We have chosen RICHMOND for our starting place, and could have no better be- ginning.' The River Thames takes its name from the Middle English Temese, which is derived from the Celtic name for river. Originating at the Thames Head in Gloucestershire, it is the longest river in England, flowing a total length of 236 miles, out through the Thames Estuary and in to the North Sea. On its journey to open water it passes through the country's capital, London, where it is deep enough to be navigable for ships, thus allowing the city to become a major international trade port.
