Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Times and Writings of Thomas Fuller, D.D, Vol. 1: The Church Historian, (1608-1661) When the writer of this work was a student at Cambridge, now many years ago, the Rev. Mr, Russell, Vicar of Caxton, Cambridgeshire, and author of the "Memorials of Fuller," called upon him, as a descendant of the Old Worthy, and presented him with a copy of the said work, which, at that time, was the only modern biography of his ancestor, Dr. Thomas Fuller. During his residence at the University, the writer saw a good deal of Mr. Russell, both in his own rooms and at Caxton Vicarage, and from these interviews he has carried away with him vivid recollections of Mr Russell´s enthusiastic admiration for the subject of the "Memorials." It was there that Mr. Russell was always putting before him the example of his illustrious ancestor as an ideal churchman and clergyman, and model of true moderation - the via media of the Church of England, - at the same time urging him to expand the "Materials" some day, should an opportunity present itself, and make them the point of departure for a new biography. The duties of a Master in a Public School, and subsequently the responsibilities of one of the largest parishes in England where much time had to be devoted to building and working school-chapels, restoring churches, and rebuilding a rectory house - precluded the idea of carrying out the proposal of composing a new biography of the celebrated Church Historian.
