Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Travers Lewis, D. D: First Archbishop of Ontario John Travers Lewis was born on 20th June, 1825, and great rejoicings followed at Garry Gloyne Castle, co. Cork, in the parish of Blarney, Ireland, because of the birth of an heir to the estate. Colonel Travers, the owner of the castle, was childless, and John Travers Lewis, his nephew, was baptised by the rector of Blarney. The boy grew up. He was over six feet in height, handsome, had a good voice, an acute and able brain, and was Irish to the core. He won the Irish Hebrew prize at Trinity College, Dublin, and was the gold Medallist of his year. He was ordained deacon at Christ´s College, Cambridge, and his first curacy was at Newton Butler, Fermanagh. In 1849 ne was ordained priest by the Bishop of Down. After his fathers death his mother had gone to Canada, and at last he went there. His first parish was Hawkesbury in Canada in 1850, and in 1862 at the age of thirty-six, when he was rector of Brockville, he was made Bishop of Ontario. He was not a High Churchman or a Ritualist, and he had qualities which made him a conspicuous figure in the newly founded diocese of Ontario. The income of the Bishopric was only five thousand dollars a year, and he had little besides. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
