Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Letters of Peter Lombard (Canon Benham) I Esteem it a privilege to give to this book a word of introduction and benediction. For more than thirty years I reckoned William Benham among my close personal friends. In one sense we were all his pupils, for we were continually learning from him, and that in different and very unconventional ways. He had, as everybody who came into contact with him found, a curiously wide range of miscellaneous knowledge, and I have always ascribed to the discipline of his early years of Elementary School work at West Meon and at Chelsea the power he possessed of imparting that knowledge in a simple and yet an original way. His four successive parishes - Addington, Margate, Marden.and St. Edmund´s - are totally different in character and congregation, but in each of them he "held" his people, and became in his own peculiar way the personal friend and confidant of men, women, and children who had little else in common. All the while his pen was never idle, and there was a freshness of its own in what he wrote, whether it was exegetical, biographical, archaeological, or personal. For several years he helped me in compiling from an almost unlimited mass of letters and papers the Biography of Archbishop Tait, and I can never forget the generous and good-humoured loyalty with which he used time after time to accept my decision upon the questions of inclusion or omission which vex a biographer´s soul, even when, as sometimes happened, the decision meant to him the fruitlessness of hours or even days of harassing work. His books and miscellaneous writings speak for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
