Day with Charles Kingsley (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Day With Charles Kingsley A March morning in 1863, with a brisk nor'-easterly wind blowing out of a wild bright blue sky. The Rector of Eversley, that tall active man with the hawk-like face, is astir betimes, and down in his study, at work: no reproach of sluggishness has ever been hurled at Charles Kingsley, strenuous and energetic through and through. Indeed, it may be doubted whether, in all England, you would find so enthusiastic, so efficient, so versatile a man as this, who for all his great gifts, for all his fame and prospects, is content to be a quiet parish priest in one of the most obscure villages in Hampshire.
