Excerpt from Lighter Studies of a Country Rector Charles Kingsley once wrote a paper, in answer to the question of a supposed correspondent, as to how he contrived to support the monotonous life of a country parson in a remote and sequestered village. He was, he confessed, "a minute philosopher, " not in the sense employed by Bishop Berkeley in his Alciphron, but as one contented with simple pleasures, and able to see in every blade of grass the whole miracle of nature. The moorland of Eversley was his winter-garden far larger than the famous one at Chatsworth, one, too that cost him nothing, and containing materials of all possible physical science.
