Hard cover, in green pebbled cloth, with borders stamped in blind to boards, the title to the spine in gilt, glazed brown end papers, printed at University Press, Welch, Bigelow, and Company, Cambridge, 320pp. Ex-library, with stamp to title page. Condition: Good Plus. Light wear to covers and corners. One lightly cracked hinge. Pages holding tight and moderately age-toned. The first essay is a reminiscence of his days as a student at The University of St. Andrews. His work is humorous and notably unstuffy for a Victorian clergyman from, well, Scotland. A.K.H B., or Andrew Kennedy Hutchinson Boyd (1825-1899) has been described as "a miscellaneous writer." Born into the bosom of the Scottish kirk, he qualified first as a barrister, but eventually followed the family line into religion, becoming a Church of Scotland minister in several Ayrshire locales south of Glasgow. He supplemented his income with columns for Fraser's Magazine, beginning in 1859, with the catchy title of: "Recreations of a Country Parson." His fame as both minister and author grew in tandem. In later years, Boyd was appointed Moderator of the Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a high calling, upon a high hill, overlooking today's Waverley train station in Edinburgh. It was reported in his obituary that his death was by misadventure, the good Rev. mistaking poison for medicine. (Commercial News, W.A., 19 Mar 1899) OCLC 43490652. …
