Frederick William Faber

Excerpt from Hymns: With a Sketch O His Life In 1841, Faber and his pupil left England for an extended tour on the Continent. In the following September, they were at Ambleside again. Faber's letters and diary are full of the most beautiful, poetic descriptions Of the scenery and customs which they beheld. Graphic and vital, couched in exquisitely appropriate language, they are models of what a traveller's memorial should be; and after half a cen tury they have lost nothing of their Vitality and inter est. A portion of this material he embodied in a wprk entitled Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches and among Foreign Peoples, which was dedicated to Wordsworth.
