This wonderfully illustrated work presnets the journeys of Guy Moore, George Milner, surnamed the Bookworm, and the narrator. It was an old arrangement between Guy and the narrator to go somewhere as soon as the long vacation commenced, and the Bookworm, a relation of Guy’s, was included on account of his health. The three decided to go to Penzance, and them rambling just where they would. A visit to the land of a lost language attracted the Bookworm, who at once added a few score books to be read on the spot. Guy was appointed guardian of the common purse, and empowered to make all arrangements. The books were left behind.
