Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short Account of the Lives of the Bishops of Calcutta: Gathered From Their Published Biographies, and From Other Sources The following short Memoirs were originally published in the pages of the Indian Church Gazette, in the years 1869 and 1870. Some of the remarks interspersed here and there throughout the volume, and having reference to the circumstances of the time, will in consequence now be found somewhat out of date, but instead of re-writing them and so perhaps confusing the style, it has been thought better to leave the remarks as they stand, only asking the reader to remember the date at which they were written. The excuse which the writer has to offer for bringing back to the light, what would otherwise have been buried in the files of our Diocesan Church Paper, is, that the few facts of which he had after considerable pains and difficulty possessed himself seemed likely to be serviceable to those who wish to know something, however little that something may be, of the History of the See of Calcutta. It is hoped that this small and unpretentious volume may lead those who can get hold of them to study Le Bas´ Life of Middleton, Heber´s Life and Journal, Robinson´s Last Days of Bishop Heber, James´ Brief Memoirs of John Thomas James, Bateman´s Life of Daniel Wilson, and Mrs. Cotton´s Memoir of George Edward Lynch Cotton. To all of these the writer is under extensive obligations, as well as to a rare old Book, The Bengal Obituary. Wherever the works above-named have been quoted, the extracts are marked by inverted commas, and it must be understood where these appear in each Memoir that the attention of the reader is particularly directed to the larger and more bulky Biographies.
