Excerpt from Dartmoor Days With the Forest Hunt Roguish, Bracelet, and Vanity. All up now, sir. Torn Withycombe eyed the moss-grown gate leading out Of covert dubiously for a moment, and then lifted it bodily Off its hinges, as being less of an undertaking than swinging it open through its bed Of sticky clay.

Excerpt from A Hundred Years on Dartmoor: Historical Notices of the Forest and Its Purlieus During the Nineteenth Century The valleys which shelter them give promise of plenty, for Nature there is smiling, and it is only when the visitor gains a glimpse of the sombre old Moor that he recollects she can sometimes wear a frown.

Excerpt from Dartmoor Whatever its actual population may have been, imagination would people it with spirits and demons; while it needed no imagination to supply the storms, the blinding fogs and rains, the baying wolves that haunted its recesses. They were content to retain its old Celtic name for the river, and they applied this name to the moor as well; it became the moor of the Dart. The name Dart, supposed to be akin to Darent and Derwent, is almost certainly a deriv ative from the Celtic dwr, water. The moorland itself is a mass of granite upheaved in pre-glacial days, weathered by countless centuries into undula ting surfaces, pierced by jagged tors, and interspersed with large patches of bog and peat-mire. This is the biggest granitic area in England, the granite extending for about 225 square miles; though that which is known as Dartmoor Forest (never a forest in our accepted meaning of the word) is considerably smaller, having been much encroached upon by till age and enclosure. There is a further protrusion of granite on the Bodmin Moors, and again as far west as Scilly; while Lundy, in the Bristol Channel, belongs almost entirely to the same formation. Beneath the mire and peat, which are the decaying deposits of vegetable matter, lies a stratum of china-clay, which is worked productively to the south of the moors.

Excerpt from A Book of Dartmoor At the request of my publishers I have written A Book of Dartmoor. I had already dealt with this upland district in two chapters in my Book of the West, vol i., "Devon." But in their opinion this wild and wondrous region deserved more particular treatment than I had been able to accord to it in the limited space at my disposal in the above-mentioned book. I have now entered with some fulness but by no means exhaustively, into the subject; and for those who desire a closer acquaintance with, and a more precise guide to the several points of interest on "the moor," I would indicate three works that have preceded this. I. Mr. J. Brooking Rowe in 1896 republished the Perambulations of Dartmoor, first issued by his great-uncle, Mr. Samuel Rowe, in 1848. The original work was written by a man whose mind was steeped in the crude archaelogical theories of his period.
