Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memories of a Vicarage
This little book owes its origin to a suggestion from the Editor of The Sunday at Home. Knowing from a few published reminiscences that my old home was very much alive in my heart, he sug gested that a more deliberate picture of it might be sketched with the pen. His thought was that something better might be thus attempted than a mere collection of curiosities of the past, sketches of old and perhaps obsolete ways and scenes. In our hurrying age, when Home seems too often to stand in peril of decline and fall, the record of the inner life of Home in a past yet not distant genera tion might have a work to do for the home-life of to-day.
