Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notions of a Yankee Parson A venture, even so unlike a sermon as the present little hazard, by a parson, without opening up the text, would be like a house without a doorstep. Notions extend from conceptions of the Milky Way to devices for milking a cow; from the layout of the golden streets to carving a wedding chest. "Yankee Notions" suggests also dry goods, in dealing with which the New England Yankee is a proverbial expert; hence, perhaps, the idea is apt in a title for this book. The occupations of a Yankee parson are so manifold, - from starting plants for the Paradise gardens to planting potatoes, from setting the pace for adolescent saints to setting hens, that you might possibly imagine that a seasoned Yankee parson would have a few notions if his mind has not gone altogether to seed. These notions, now coyly offered, may be caught up for a moment, or left to wither like so many other tender things in this frosty world. Whatever their fate, the parson with becoming humility cherishes the alluring hope that no pulpit tone will stale them, that while some of the topics discussed are serious, the treatment will not be found monotonous or sanctimonious, that someone, somewhere, may find in the varied bill of fare a crumb of pleasure or a relish of healthy cheer.
