"English Pictures Drawn with Pen and Pencil" by the Rev. Samuel Manning and the Rev. S. G. Green is a collection of descriptive essays written in the late 19th century. The book aims to explore and highlight the beauty and historical significance of various English landscapes and landmarks, inviting readers to appreciate their own country's charm and cultural heritage. At the start of the volume, the authors share a preface that sets the tone for the exploration of England's natural beauty and rich history. They reference an anecdote about a British nobleman who, impressed by the stunning views in Switzerland, realizes he has overlooked the remarkable scenes available on his doorstep in England. This theme of rediscovery recurs as they intricately detail the journey along the River Thames, inviting readers to delve into its scenic routes while interweaving historical facts and literary associations that enhance the narrative. The opening portion captivates with vivid, picturesque descriptions that evoke both nostalgia and appreciation for the natural beauty and historical context of the English landscape.

Reading ease score: 57.4 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
