Haig-Brown welcomes us onto his lush farm for a year of insights and observations. In this eloquently written account, Haig-Brown, his wife Ann and their four children tour us through each season, and teach us the ways in which the Earth governs the events in our lives. Haig-Brown observes salmon, blue grouse, blacktail deer and robins, with a soft eye and gentle appreciation for their trials. He discerns how the weather interacts with the land, and how the land interacts with our attempts at civilization. Haig-Brown also discusses his work at a magistrate, and the challenges of marriage, amateur book collecting, the craft of the writer, and the meaning of community. A snap shot of rural BC in the 1950s, Measure of the Year is a country story, told by a man happy in his chosen way of life." ., William Collins Sons & Co., 1950, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New.

We may perhaps take another opportunity of tracing the beneficial consequence of this great movement, in the increase of the settled and missionary Clergy--the establishment of schools--the marking out of parishes--and the settlement, in many of the Dioceses, of a regular Church constitution and government, by a synod consisting of Bishop, Clergy and laity. It will not, however, have escaped attention, that while bishoprics have sprung up with such wonderful rapidity in the various provinces of our great colonial empire, the wants of India, both North and South, though prominently set forth in the Lambeth Declaration, remain to the present day unsatisfied. It was never, we believe, contemplated that these Sees, thus formally proclaimed to be necessary for the welfare of the Indian Church, should be endowed in the same way as those in British colonies--by voluntary contributions. Such a proposition, while it might have bee. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
