About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Shepton Notes on Its History, Ancient, Descriptive, and Natural; With Illustrations
I am sorry that the life of our mutual friend, my dear brother-in-law, John Edmund Farbrother, does not present more salient points, such as might form the subject of a copious memoir. But the usefulness of a life does not depend on the abundance of such materials. It often happens that those persons whose lives are, to casual observers, nothing more than a dull level -a changeless round Of ordinary duties and very moderate enjoyments - a recurrence even to same ness of little pleasures and little pains - a constant repetition of kindly acts, with as constant a sense of labours ill-requited and deserts lightly esteemed, are, in fact, the greatest benefactors of society.
