Publisher's Synopsis
The Age of Clay, Aetas Argillacea: Morals and Religion, A Rhythmic Satire is a book written by William Boyd-Mushet and published in 1883. The book is a satirical commentary on the morals and religion of the time, and is written in a rhythmic style. The title, Aetas Argillacea, refers to the time period when humans first began to use clay for pottery and other purposes. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a different aspect of society, such as politics, education, and religion. Through his satire, Boyd-Mushet critiques the hypocrisy and corruption he sees in these institutions, while also offering a vision for a better, more moral society. The Age of Clay is an important work of social commentary from the late 19th century, and remains relevant today for its insights into the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
