Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of My Life: 1847-1856 The Bishop of St. Andrews originally designed that his Memoirs should be published in two volumes. He believed that the second would be similar in size to the ´Annals of My Early Life,´ published two years ago. It was found, however, that the episodes subsequent to those recorded in that book called for treatment more leisurely and elaborate than that which could be given them in a volume of reasonable size. Besides, Bishop Wordsworth´s life was of three distinct periods. There was the period of Oxford and Winchester; the period of Glenalmond; the period of St. Andrews. The work, then, is to be in three volumes. This, the second, which was completed not many weeks before the Bishop´s death, on December 5 last year, encroaches upon the domain of the third only in so far as affairs connected with the Wardenship of Trinity College lingered into the Episcopate. The ´Annals´ now presented are almost entirely autobiographical. The passages embodying correspondence with Mr. Gladstone are the only parts in which the work differs materially from the MS. as it left Bishop Wordsworth´s hands.
