''Few Days at Nashotah'' is a travelogue written by William Ingraham Kip in 1849. The book provides a detailed account of Kip’s visit to the Nashotah House, a seminary located in Wisconsin. Kip was a bishop of the Episcopal Church and his purpose for visiting the seminary was to inspect its facilities and meet with its faculty members. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which describes a different aspect of Kip’s visit. He writes about the seminary’s buildings, its curriculum, and the daily routine of its students. Kip also provides insights into the religious beliefs and practices of the seminary’s faculty members, many of whom were deeply committed to the Anglo-Catholic tradition. Throughout the book, Kip offers his own reflections on the state of the Episcopal Church in America, and how the Nashotah House was contributing to its growth and development. He also describes his interactions with the seminary’s students, who he found to be dedicated and sincere in their pursuit of the priesthood. Overall, ''Few Days at Nashotah'' provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of mid-19th century American seminaries and the religious beliefs and practices of the Episcopal Church. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
