Excerpt from Up-Country Letters
The Professor did not confine himself to me, but made friends of the whole house. Although he is congrega tional, as it is called, in his religious Opinions, I found Mrs. P. Getting quite partial to him. Not that she liked his dogmas, but it was so charming to find a man who has dogmas and defends them.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents letters of correspondence between a distinguished Professor and a man described as a "Dominie," an archaic term for a Calvinist minister. The Dominie, who lives in the country, and the Professor, who lives in the city, discuss various topics ranging from their daily lives, customs of the time, philosophical reflections, and religious commentary. The Dominie writes in a simple and earnest style, while the Professor's tone is more learned and analytical. Despite their differing perspectives, they share a deep concern for the moral and spiritual well-being of their fellow beings. The book offers a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of two men of faith living in the mid-19th century, providing insights into the religious, social, and intellectual landscape of the time. Their warm and thought-provoking exchanges explore the human condition, the search for meaning, and the nature of faith, ultimately inviting readers to reflect on their own beliefs and values.
