Feasts and Fasts: An Essay on the Rise, Progress, and Present State of the Laws Relating to Sundays and Other Holidays, and Days of Fastin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Feasts and Fasts: An Essay on the Rise, Progress, and Present State of the Laws Relating to Sundays and Other Holidays, and Days of Fastin

IN ofi'ering this Essay to the public the Author feels that he owes some explanation of that mixture of legal details with matter of a more popular character, which it will be found to contain. It may be urged, not without reason, that such subj ects are better kept apart; that the general reader will be discouraged by the dryness of legal disquisition; while the more professional eye will be repelled by the sight of so much matter unfit for professional ends.
