About This Item
London: J M Dent and Sons, 1947. first edition. hardcover. Book VG: mild shelf wear, toning and offset to paste downs and endpapers, text clean, binding tight./DJ G: chipping and edge wear, clipped, age toning.. 8vo 245pp. from front flap: "This kindly, witty, human, and most entertaining book might be fairly entitled a 'Mirror' of the Church of England--at least as regards that human and personal side which is one of the special glories of Ecclesia Anglicana. The English Church is not without saints of the parsonage, but she is probably unrivalled in the production of 'characters,' especially in her country vicarages and rectories. Mr. Addison's book is built up on the life-stories of such parsons, the telling of which could not easily be bettered, and a feast is provided for those who love human nature in its oddities and its more vigorous failings as well as in its nobilities." #02139.
