Excerpt from The Wide World and Our Work in It, or the Story of the East London Institute for Home and Foreign MissionsHad they then been idle? Some had. But large numbers had been industrious enough. They had expended a vast amount Of labour, and skilled labour too, but they had bestowed it all on the park immediately around the house. This had been cultivated to such a pitch of perfection that the workmen had scores of times quarrelled with each other, because the Operations of one interfered with those of his neighbour. And a vast amount of labour had been lost, in sowing the very same patch, for instance, with corn fifty times over in one season, so that the seed never had time to germinate and grow and bear fruit, in caring for the forest trees, as if they had been tender saplings, in manuring soils already too fat, and watering pastures already too wet.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
