Synopsis

Excerpt from Essays Contributed to Blackwood's Magazine, 1857

I heartily wish, my dear Eusebius, that the Bishops, in their goodness and piety, would regulate many little parochial matters, which falling upon the minor and less admitted authority of rectors and vicars, and particularly curates, to put in good order, raise a wonderful opposition. The diffi culty of interfering with the wishes and habits of men whom you daily meet, and who may personally argue points with you, and thereby surely take offence, is very great. But the unseen power of the bishop - the mandate that comes under Episcopal seal (the larger the more imposing), and couched perhaps in part in elegant phraseology, which is, where not quite intelligible, taken for a mystery-i - and the impossibility, in general obscure country parishes, of the malcontents en countering a bishop in argument, -all this tells against any particular grievance with powerful decision. I Speak not here of parishes of consideration, where there are many gentry, and the inhabitants are generally well informed but of merely rural parishes, taken possession of, as it were, time out of mind, by small farmers, and a large population of labourers. There are very many of these in the kingdom.

In the old and easy way of repose, and taking things just as you find them, they are very comfortable resting-places for the indolent, or the young curate satisfied with few pleasures, and those mostly Out of the parish.
