Sinopsis

Excerpt from Recollections: Literary and Political

A certain writer Of the Old time - forty years seems SO long ago - was known, as everything is in our days, by initials, and signed himself A. K. H. B. He wrote a book entitled The Recreations of a Country Parson. I forget what the recreations were, but I believe he amused himself with his pen, for I remember reviewing, in those days, another book by him called Changed Aspects of Unchanged Truths, which was, in fact, a volume Of sermons delivered in St. Andrews, and which he had not courage enough to publish under their proper name. And really the 'changed aspects' was only the name for the old sermons which Dr. Boyd had already inflicted upon his followers. But the title Of the earlier work attracted me - The Recreations of a Country Parson. The recreation Of a man who is busy in one way, according to his calling, is to be busy in another way according to his heart, and in a long life I have found leisure too much for me, and have made holiday in some kind Of work I was not called upon to do.
