A Memoir of Richard Durnford, D.D., Sometime Bishop of Chichester: With Selections From His Correspondence (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Memoir of Richard Durnford, D.D., Sometime Bishop of Chichester: With Selections From His Correspondence

AS my name alone appears as Editor on the title page of this Memoir, I wish to state at the outset that the first two chapters have been written by the late Bishop's sons, Mr. Richard and Mr. Walter Durnford. In connexion with these two chapters I have only exercised an Editor's privilege of offer ing a few suggestions and revising the proof-sheets. My own acquaintance with the Bishop began with his episcopate, and I thought that the earlier portions of his life could be more satisfactorily dealt with by two members of his family whose ability was unquestionable, and who could draw partly on their own recollections, as well as upon old family records and traditions.

For the remaining-chapters, covering the period Of the episcopate, I am solely responsible.
