Here There And Everywhere - Hardcover

by Lord Frederic Hamilton (Author), M. D. Plunkett (Author)

""Here There and Everywhere"" is a travel memoir written by Lord Frederic Hamilton, a British aristocrat and politician who lived in the early 20th century. The book chronicles his journeys across the globe, from Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Hamilton writes about his experiences in vivid detail, describing the people he meets, the cultures he encounters, and the landscapes he traverses. He shares his observations on everything from the architecture of ancient temples to the customs of indigenous tribes, and reflects on the impact of colonialism and imperialism on the places he visits. Along the way, Hamilton also shares anecdotes about his own life and family, adding a personal touch to his narrative. Through his travels, Hamilton offers readers a glimpse into a world that has long since vanished, and provides valuable insights into the history and diversity of our planet.A tropical night is seldom quiet, what with the croaking of frogs, the chirping of the cicadas, and some bird, insect, or reptile that imitates the winding in of a fishing-reel for hours together, but really the noise of the Jamaican nights after the earthquake was quite unbearable. Negroes are very hysterical, and some black preachers had utilised the earthquake to start a series of revival meetings, and these were held just outside the grounds of King's House. Right through the night they lasted, with continual hymn-singing, varied with loud cries and groans. ""Abide with me"" is a beautiful hymn, but really its beauties began to pall when it had been sung through from beginning to end nine times running.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
