Excerpt from The Agricultural Depression and the Sufferings of the ClergyAt the close of last year I accepted an offer from the Editor of the Guardian to inquire into the effects on clerical incomes of the prolonged agricultural depression. The results of my inquiry are contained in the following five letters.These so-called letters are really articles. The abstract form and want of local colour are due, partly to the difficulty of investigating the private liabilities of men in the rank of the rural clergy, partly to the necessity, when information of this character was obtained, of avoiding the identification of the informant. The ground on which the pledge of secrecy was in one case exacted was significant enough in its latent meaning If names were divulged it might injure my credit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
