Description
George MacDonald, LL.D., wrote The Seaboard Parish. The record is labeled complete, yet the pages shown are headed Volume I. Its contents are expressly the contents of volume one. Chapters include Constance's birthday, a sick chamber, and two Sunday evenings. Theodora's doom and Connie's dream also appear. The list ends with the narrator's first sermon in the seaboard parish.
Chapter one, called Homiletic, opens as a letter to dear friends. The narrator admits he begins a new book like an old sermon. A lifetime of preaching shapes whatever he says or writes, he says. He thought he had bidden his readers farewell, he adds. Now he sits again at his writing-table for them. He imagines his whispered words heard aloud by multitudes he cannot see.
