Download or read book Old and New in the Countryside Classic Reprint written by Victoria De Bunsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-12-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old and New in the Countryside Times, describe some varying stages Of life in the countryside during the last forty years. The first two chapters belong to the end of the nineteenth century; The Age of Morris Dancing to the transition period which succeeded it, when a stirring of the social consciousness resulted in a variety of more or less superficial attempts to reconstitute rural life without that corresponding revolution in the social and economic sphere which alone could substantiate them. The Country-town refers to the period which immediately preceded the War, and still in greater or less degree survives it. The changes which that universal cata strophe is bound to produce are not yet to be determined; but that, for better or for worse, they herald the end of an epoch - the Passing of the Old Order - can no longer be open to dispute.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Next to the Ground: Chronicles of a Countryside Major Baker, the master of White Oaks, was merciful to his beasts, especially his plough beasts.

He liked to think' of them stretched at ease, sometimes. Even snoring as a tired man snores.

Download or read book The English Countryside Classic Reprint written by Ernest C. Pulbrook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Countryside WE live in times when change is so rapid that customs and institu tions of even a decade ago are no longer familiar. Everywhere the old is giving place to the new, and the methods of our forefathers are too leisurely for this hurrying age. The whole face of England is being rapidly altered, and this is perhaps more noticeable in the country, even in the most remote districts, than in the towns, where we look for change and improvements. So many old landmarks are being swept away that it seems time to call a halt and at least to take a survey before the old is banished by the new. In the towns it is perhaps almost too late to begin to preserve the buildings of the past, but in the country it is different. During most of the nine teenth century the country stagnated while the towns grew and prospered, but now ease of communication and the desire to see the country has brought about a change the city is being regarded only as a workshop and the country as the place in which to live. People, too, are beginning to understand that rural England is, and has always been, as important as the towns, and that scattered up and down the land are places not only beautiful in themselves, but full of the associations of the past. Each has played its part in the making of England as we know it to-day, and each has some story to tell, if we can only learn to read. An old rubbish heap may contain a wealth of romance, and a commonplace custom may have had its origin in the days when the inhabitants of these islands were little better than barbarians.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Authority of the Old and New Testament Asserted Pretenfion to this Charaéter. I would be one Of the lafl to charge any Man with a Want of Honefiy and Sincerity: but there are ma ny Things in his Book that look like a wilful Perverfion and Mifreprefentation of Faéts, as well as Arguments and fometimes fo circum fianced, that it is fcarce pofiible for the molt extenfive Charity to fuppofe that it'was owing to mere Ignorance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Country House Perhaps one of the greatest charms of an old house is the number of superseded contrivances which it contains, na'ive engines of the antique domestic economy long since improved upon, the apparatus of methods no longer a part of the living science of existence. That powdered wigs are no longer common, are, in fact, seldom worn nowadays, by no means subtracts from our de light in the powdering closet attached to Perdita's bedroom, with the hole in the door through which the fine lady or gentleman meekly placed her or his head as on a block, so that the great puffs should not shower their whiteness over the whole exquisite figure.
