Book Description
Excerpt from The Peasantry, And, the Country Parson Few, I suppose, of the readers of Les Paysans in more recent years have read it without a more or less distinct men tal comparison with the corresponding book in the Rougon Macquart series. And I should hope that this comparative process has had, in the best minds, only one result. Les Paysans (which, by the way, is a very late book, partly posthumous, and is said, though not on positive authority, to have enjoyed the collaboration of Madame de Balzac) is not one of Balzac's best; but it is as far above La Terre from every conceivable point of view, except that of Holy well Street, as a play of Shakespeare is above one of Monk Lewis. The comparison, indeed, exhibits something more than the difference of genius in Balzac and in M. Zola. It illus trates the difference of their methods. We know how not merely the rougon-macquart series in general, but La Terre in particular, was composed. M. Zola, who is a conscientious man, went down to a village (somewhere in the Beauce, if I recollect rightly), stayed some time, made his notes, and came back to Paris. There is nothing like the same great gulf fixed between the Londoner and the countryman in England as that which exists between the Parisian and the Provincial in France. But imagine an Englishman, not even English by race, from his youth up an inhabitant of great towns, attempting to delineate the English peasantry after a few weeks' stay in a Wiltshire village!

Book Description
Excerpt from The Country Parson; Albert Savarus; The Peasantry Still, the book is one of great attraction and interest, and takes, if I may judge by my own experience, a high rank for enchaining power among that class of Balzac's books which cannot be put exactly highest. If the changes made in it by its author have to some extent dislocated it as a whole, they have resulted in very high excellence for almost all the parts.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Recreations of a Country Parson Now, as a general rule, the Great Disposer says to the parson, Here is your home, here lies your work through life go and reconcile your mind to it, and do your best in it. No doubt there are men in the Church whose genius, popularity, influence, or luck is such, that they have a bewildering variety of' livings pressed upon them: but it is not so with ordinary folk and certainly it was not so with me. I went where Providence bade me go, which was not Where I had wished to go, and not where I had thought to go. Many who know me through the pages which make this and a preceding volume, have said, written, and printed, that I was specially cut out for a country parson, and specially adapted to relish a quiet country life. Not more, believe me, reader, than your self. It is in every man who sets himself to it to attain the self-same characteristics. It is quite true I have these now: but, a few years since, never was mortal less like them. No cockney set down near Sydney Smith at Fos ton-le-clay: no fish, suddenly Withdrawn from its native stream could feel more strange and cheerless than did I when I went to my beautiful country parish, where I have spent such happy days, and which I have come to love so much.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Critical Essays of a Country Parson It was so with me. When I began to write for Fraser': Magazine, a little more than nine years ago, my work was mainly to review books. Gradually, my dear friend the Editor thought I might try to walk alone. And in several volumes, which the public has received with much kindness and favour, the original essays, which I began to write at his suggestion, have been collected and republished. The present volumevi Preface. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Graver Thoughts of a Country Parson: Second Series Days, when the leaves are changing and falling, his poetic genius quite deserted him; and he could not write a line. But in the spring-time, when the sap began to stir in the trees, and all nature to revive, the life around him thrilled his heart though it could not reach his eyes and the amanuensis could hardly keep pace with the flow of unpremeditated song. One does not wonder at the spring burst; but it seems curious that the quiet, thoughtful days of autumn, which waken many old remembrances in most men, should have so chilled and disheartened the great poet. Many people can say, that there is hardly any influence that so stirs them to vague feelings and impressions which would be poetry in the hands of one who was able to give them expression, as the clear, still air, and the motion less autumn woods in the beautiful autumn sunshine. It is a season in which to recall the days that are gone: and sitting down here, on the steps which lead to this pretty Gothic church, let us think of Sundays long ago. The present writer, for a certain sufficient reason, has this morning been reading over certain pages, bearing truths and counsels which have been addressed to two Christian congregations, one in the country and the other in the town; and altering a word here and there. And in reading some of these pages, how strangely there comes back the feeling of the old quiet Sundays, far away I And the season has decided what kind of Sunday shall come most plainly back. It is the autumn Sunday, with its morning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
