Excerpt from Our Bishops and Deans, Vol. 1 of 2 My Dear Todd, I do not suppose in dedicating this work to you will endorse all its opinions. On the contrary, I imagine that when next we meet, in travel or at home, there will be some keen discussion on sundry matters connected with these pages. But you, at least, will understand how thoroughly I have striven to be Catholic and impartial, and that this work on contemporary Church history should be free from all party bias. My object has been to give a view of the present state of the Church of England, its condition and its prospects, the great names and the remarkable movements that have emerged within its borders.

Excerpt from Our Bishops and Deans, Vol. 2 of 2 There is then all the difference in the world between a literary bishop and a literary dean. The deanery confers the leisure which the bishopric takes away. AS a rule, the deans are more literary than the bishops; but there are bishops whom no deans have ever approached in the domain of letters. In one sense all bishops may courteously be called literary just as barristers are called learned. We suppose that there is no bishop on the bench who has not at least printed a charge or a sermon. Some of these charges are extremely valuable. Any one, for instance, who would examine carefully the whole series of charges delivered, almost synchronically, by Bishop Wilber force and Bishop Thirlwall, would obtain a very accu rate idea Of the History of the Church of England within the last generation. The interest of the history would be none the less because we should have it from two different points of view. What may be called bishops' literature does not, as a rule, count for very much. It is not SO extensive as deans' literature, for the Obvious reason that bishops have not the leisure to be literary. Read this when you are at leisure, said a friend to a dignitary.
