Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New Walks in Old Ways
Hewriter has no apologies to make for the thinly-veiled criticism of the exactions of modern life that runs like a thread through the so-called Idle Hour series, of which this is the fourth. He would not go Thoreau's length, but does intend these little volumes to stand as a fairly good natured protest against a mode of living that compels mankind to devote an altogether unreasonable proportion of his days to the endless task of providing the things demanded by twentieth century civilization; leaving insufficient opportunity for the rational enjoyment of life.
