Excerpt from The Washingtons: A Tale of a Country Parish in the 17th Century Based on Authentic Documents
The best apology for the following tale be found in the circumstances which suggested it.
Some years ago, when I came into my parish, one of the first subjects which occurred to me for a Lecture, (such as are now so universally given in-school-rooms and Mechanics' Institutes,)-was the Parish Register. The lecture, or rather lectures, which were given accordingly, excited very great interest among the parishioners; a thousand little particulars being brought to light, concerning habits, morals, statistics, family genealogies, and personal histories, which con nected or contrasted past times with the present in a very instructive way. The study of his Parish Register is one which may be strongly recom mended to every clergyman.
