Lay Sermons / Edition 1

by James Hogg, Douglas S. Mack, Gillian Hughes

Overview

Lay Sermons offers, playfully, a series of lay sermons on good principles and good breeding—the last thing that one would expect from the pen of Blackwood's Ettrick Shepherd. But a significant part of the joke is that the Shepherd provides lay sermons that combine into a series of wise meditations on life and on literature.
