Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Incumbent of Axhill is a novel by Mary Charlotte J. Leith, first published in 1875. It is a sequel to her earlier work, The Chorister Brothers. The story revolves around the life of the Reverend John Meredith, who becomes the new incumbent of the small village of Axhill. Meredith is a kind and compassionate man who is loved by his parishioners, but he faces many challenges in his new role. He must deal with the wealthy and powerful landowner, Sir Thomas Grantham, who is determined to control the church and its finances. Meredith also becomes romantically involved with Lady Isabel, the daughter of Sir Thomas, which causes further complications. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and social class, and provides a vivid portrait of life in a rural English village in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
