The Parish Clerk. |
||
![]() 'Once upon a time, in a very small country town, at a considerable distance from London, there lived a little man named Nathaniel Pipkin, who was the parish clerk of the little town, and lived in a little house in the little High Street, within ten minutes' walk from the little church; and who was to be found every day, from nine till four, teaching a little learning to the little boys. Nathaniel Pipkin was a harmless, inoffensive, good-natured being, with a turned-up nose, and rather turned-in legs, a cast in his eye, and a halt in his gait; and he divided his time between the church and his school, verily believing that there existed not, on the face of the earth, so clever a man as the curate, so imposing an apartment as the vestry-room, or so well-ordered a seminary as his own.' |

Tit for Tat. A set of 7 magic lantern slides made by G.M. Mason, England, ca 1885, after a song by Nemo and Henry Pontet. Slides 3 and 6, however, are from another set of plates of the same name made by Bamforth & Co. They were probably mistakenly switched by a previous owner. |
