Excerpt from The Autumn Holidays of a Country Parson Golden lights faded from the smooth water, when a great moon, nearly full, rises above the trees on this side, and casts a long golden path, ?ickering and heaving: the stillness is such that you fear to break it by a footfall. Then there have been times, even within this week, when drenching showers darkened the water and hid the opposite hills: or when white crested waves made the sea into a wild ridgy plain, and broke on the shingle hard by in foam and thunder.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt from East Coast Days: And Memories The writer has sent out many pages, which have been read by some not without sympathy. But he has never tried to say what he has most thought of. And he could not have expressed it if he had tried. Here is a quite inevitable Economy. Though times beyond number you have Spoken to your fellows, and of very serious matters, you have not talked out all your heart. They do not know you not those who know you best. Strange are the diverse shades Of unutterable thought. Stranger the diverse achings and stings of the poor heart's trouble. And there is a pudency. You have felt much, which it was no discredit to have felt, which it would have been shame not to have felt yet which must not be spoken.

Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd was born at Auchinleck manse in Ayrshire, Scotland, on the 3rd of November 1825; the son of Dr. James Boyd.
He studied at King's College, London, and at the Middle Temple, with the idea of practising at the English bar. Returning to Scotland, however, he entered Glasgow University and there qualified for the Scottish ministry, being licensed as a preacher by the presbytery of Ayr. In 1864 the university of Edinburgh conferred on him the honorary degree of D. D. St. Andrews University conferred on him the degree of LL. D. in April 1889.
Boyd served in succession the parishes of Newton-on-Ayr, Kirkpatrick-lrongray near Dumfries, St Bernard's, Edinburgh, and finally, in 1865, became minister of the first charge at St Andrews. Here he advocated an improved ritual in the Scottish church, his action resulting in the appointment by the general assembly of a committee, with Boyd as convener, to prepare a new hymnal. In 1890 he was appointed moderator of the general assembly, and fulfilled the duties of the position with admirable dignity and tact. He died at Bournemouth on the 1st of March 1899.
Dr Boyd was a very famous preacher and talker, and his desultory essays have very much of the charm of his conversation. Among his numerous publications may be specially mentioned the two works (each in three series), Recreations of a Country Parson (1859, 1861 and 1878), and Graver Thoughts of a Country Parson (1862 - 1865 and 1875); he also wrote Twenty-five Years at St Andrews (1892), and St Andrews and Elsewhere (1894). He was familiarly known to the public as a writer by his initials "A. K. H. B. "
