Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of the Right Hon. Jesse Collings, Vol. 1 A Life of Mr. Collings, begun by himself and finished by his friend and fellow-worker, Sir J. L. Green, is certain to secure a wide circle of readers, for in a long life of public service Mr. Collings has made friends in all classes, and though he has fought his public battles with all his might they have left no bitterness behind them. It is a far cry from the Devonshire of Mr. Collings´ boyhood to the England of to-day; and his recollections of the village sports and pastimes of those far-off years are doubly valuable, for they form a record of customs and manners long since passed away. I miss some details that I have heard from his own lips; for instance, how his sailor-brother insisted upon putting back to the wreck - of which the story is told in Chapter X - to recover his silk hat at the peril of all their lives. Or again, of his last visit to his stonemason brother, Tom. Tom became a Baptist, and preached at a local chapel; forfeiting thereby his right to work on the great estate on which he was employed, for such was the rule of the estate less than eighty years ago.
