THE TITLE of this volume so clearly expresses its purport, that, save for custom's sake, a preface is scarcely needful. The following pages contain the simple record of a delightful summer outing, a 'cruise on wheels' through the three counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk. The scenic and other attractions of this eastern portion of England are, I think, too little known. True, I cannot promise those who follow us in our pleasant journey either mountains or waterfalls, but all things else that go to make up the beauty of the land I can ; ruined abbeys and ancient churches fraught with interest for the ecclesiologist and antiquary ; romantic homes of the olden days -many of these moated still --all abounding in past memories and historic associations; old-time coaching hostelries wherein our portwine-loving forefathers made merry; old-fashioned oddly built country towns; picturesque hamlets ; pleasant pastoral scenes varied by wild wind-swept heaths and gorse-sprinkled commons ; and, if I cannot show my readers lakes, I can introduce them to the Land of the Broads, the quiet beauties of which artists seem only recently to have discovered.
