Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Life of Samuel Wilberforce: Bishop of Oxford and Winchester
Wilberforce as merely a retailer of good stories is to lose all sense of proportion. People who met him would some times carry away a mistaken idea Of his character because they saw only one particular side which became focussed in their own minds they were unable to see the whole character, and consequently remained with a false, because a partial, impression Of the Bishop. The careful readers Of this volume will, however, be able to form a juster View they will be able to perceive the keynote Of that life, and will appreciate the words of Bishop Magee N 0 man ever more truly loved from the depths of his heart, and was more loyal to the Church of England, than that great prelate, and the very intensity and fulness' of his love and his desire to re?ect all the Church's doctrine and character exposed him to much injustice.'
