Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Parson and People, or Incidents in the Every-Day Life of a Clergyman
What is a Suburban Parish? It is almost easier to define what it is not, than what it is; but the words will convey different impressions to differ ent minds. One will dream of quiet country villages, such as still linger within sight and almost sound and smell of London; another will depict to himself streets of palatial houses grand carriages, and swarms of liveried footmen; another will think of a huge succession of small self-contained, or semi-detached villas, out of which hosts of business-men issue regularly at from half-past eight to half-past nine in the morn ing, two-thirds of these men being engaged In buttoning a glove as they leave their own doors, and by omnibuses, railways, broughams, hacks.
