What you’re looking at
This is a page of running prose from what appears to be a travel narrative or travelogue. The text describes a journey through picturesque countryside, noting blooming hawthorn hedges and cultivated fields, before arriving at a waterfall that astonishes the traveler. The author remarks that previous accounts of this "phenomenon" had not prepared them adequately for its actual appearance, as it descends from a steep rock (the sentence continues on the next page). The page number is 63, titled "A MONTH'S TOUR."
