Roland Hill1744-1833
Journal of a Tour through the North of Ireland and Parts of ScotlandObservations and RemarksAn uncommon degree of odium is fixed to the existence of a toad: they are supposed to be poisonous. This is quite a vulgar error; they are useful reptiles, for they destroy innumerable insects, and are even capable of the knowledge of our attention and humanity. It is wonton cruelty to destroy them. In my country abode, I even attempted to make them a place of retirement and called it a toadery. Every creature that God has sent, we should protect, and in a subordinate degree they demand our attention. …it is no disgrace to the Christian character, to plead the persecuted cause of the harmless toad.
Roland Hill: His Life, Anedotes, and Pulpit SayingsMr. Hill was also "merciful to his beast." His horses were his constant care. Even his domestic cat, and other creatures, shared largely in his daily regards. | ||||||||
