Waltham-On-Sea: Or Conversations In Our Parish is a book written by James Burns and published in 1842. The book is a collection of fictional conversations between various characters in the parish of Waltham-On-Sea, a small coastal town in England. The conversations cover a range of topics, including religion, politics, social issues, and everyday life in the town. The characters are diverse, representing different social classes, occupations, and beliefs, and their conversations provide insight into the attitudes and values of the time. Through the book, Burns offers a commentary on the state of society in mid-19th century England, highlighting the need for social reform and the importance of community and compassion. The book is written in a conversational style, with engaging and often humorous dialogue, and provides a fascinating glimpse into life in a small English town during a period of significant social and political change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
