Publisher's Synopsis
An Almond For A Parrot: Being A Reply To Martin Mar-Prelate is a book written by Thomas Nash in 1846. The book is a satirical response to the religious pamphlets written by Martin Mar-Prelate, a pseudonym used by a group of English Puritans in the late 16th century. Nash's book takes a humorous approach to the serious religious debates of the time, mocking Mar-Prelate's arguments and poking fun at the Puritan movement as a whole. The title of the book refers to a common practice of feeding almonds to pet birds, suggesting that Mar-Prelate is nothing more than a parrot repeating the same tired arguments. Overall, An Almond For A Parrot is a witty and entertaining read that provides a unique perspective on the religious and political issues of Elizabethan England.Reprinted From The Black Letter Edition, With An Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
