Publisher's Synopsis
The Recreations Of A Country Parson is a collection of essays and musings by A. K. H. Boyd, a Scottish clergyman and writer, published in 1861. The book covers a wide range of topics, from nature and wildlife to literature and theology, all written in a charming and witty style. Boyd's love for the countryside and its inhabitants is evident throughout the book, as he shares his observations and experiences of rural life. The essays also delve into more philosophical and spiritual themes, exploring the relationship between man and God, and the role of faith in everyday life. The Recreations Of A Country Parson is a delightful read that offers insight into the mind of a 19th-century Scottish clergyman, and his views on the world around him.In such a life, indeed, these Essays, which never would have been begun had my duty been always such, must be written in little snatches of time: and perhaps a sharp critic could tell, from internal evidence, which of them have been written in the country and which in the town. I look up from the table at which I write: and the roses, honeysuckle, and the fuchsias, of a year since, are far away: through the window I discover lofty walls, whose colour inclines to black. Yet I have not regretted the day, and I do not believe I ever will regret the day, when I ceased to be a Country Parson.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
