Excerpt from Theological Unrest: Discussions in Science and Religion Each neighborhood supplied its own necessities and its own amusements. The weaver made cloth at his solitary loom for the tailor to cut into clothes in the adjoining village. The old wife in the cottage spun her own yarn, and knitted her own and her hus band's and children's stockings. The gentry confined their visits within a circle of ten miles. Their daughters depended for their larger acquaintance on the balls and races in the county town. Schools there were none, except for the well-to-do. The village boys and girls learnt their catechism at the parish church, and were bound apprentices for the rest of their education. All the country over, from the expense and difficulty of movement, each family was rooted to its own soil, and the summer migrations of the squires and parsons were confined, like that of the Vicar of Wake field, to a change from the blue room to the brown.
