The pleasures of a country life will thus be infinitely multiplied; for, startling although the paradox may be, there are multitudes resident in rural parts who look ignorantly on rural sights, and have no knowledge of rural employments, and no sympathy with rural habits, and who know not in reality how to live in the country .
— from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 69, No. 427, May, 1851 by Various
