Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from West Buckland Year Book and Kalendar for 1857 The Pre-amble, or preparatory Canter. Great Lords and Ladies, condescend to look With favouring glance upon a rustic book; For London authors keep the scornful frown, We´re country-folk, - and you are out of town And you who constant in the country dwell, Pardon the failings that you know so well; The love of Home, the pride of Neighbourhood, The too great value of a lesser good. If man´s a little world, as has been written, To us West Buckland is a little Britain; We screen its faults, exaggerate its fame, If zeal is partial, love must bear the blame. We mean no harm, you may depend upon it, Though pert as flowers in a housemaid´s bonnet. There´s not a page of dogma, high or low; We only write about the things we know. - No party cause shall be for us the richer, We´ve not a word for Denison or Ditcher. - We are not Tories, Radicals, or Whigs, We make no Court, - except to please the pigs. But in our pages those who will may see Much of what "doth the little busy Bee." All kinds of Poultry, - Cochin and Minorcas; The art of Curing and Pro-curing Porkers. Marvels of Cattle, told by North Devon farmers; Mysteries of Cream taught by South Devon charmers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
