Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Bishop Percival The invitation to write the Life of a man whom one profoundly honours, and to whom one is bound by ties of the deepest gratitude, is hardly to be refused. I undertook the work as an obligation and a privilege, but without any expectation that I could do justice to the theme. Percival was not a prolific letter-writer, nor was he one who kept a record of events or impressions in a diary. The material has been very scanty. I have tried to avoid mere comment, as far as possible to let Percival speak in his own words where they are available, and to call reliable witnesses for those periods of which I could know nothing at first hand. There was little of subjectivism in Percival, and his biography should be as objective as it can be made. Naturally I have been at all points dependent on others. I hope the obligations are duly noted in the text, but some are so conspicuous as to call for a special reference. First, I must name the members of the Bishops family - Mrs. Percival, The Rev. Preb. L. J. Percival, and Mrs. Johnson - who have given me every kind of help and support. For the earlier chapters I have received invaluable assistance from Canon J. M. Wilson, Sir Herbert Warren, Bishop Robertson, and Mr. G. F. Bradby. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
