Publisher's Synopsis
The Recreations Of A Country Parson is a collection of essays and musings on various topics by A. K. H. Boyd, a Scottish clergyman and writer who lived in the 19th century. The essays cover a wide range of subjects, including literature, history, philosophy, and religion, as well as more mundane topics such as gardening and country life. Boyd's writing is characterized by a gentle wit and a deep appreciation for the natural world, and his observations on life in rural Scotland offer a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. The book is a delightful read for anyone interested in the history of Scotland, the joys of country living, or the musings of a thoughtful and observant writer.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.
