AUTHOR OF SEVERAL OF THE TRACTS FOR THE TIMES "A COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL NARRATIVE,' ETC. " EDITED BY HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW THE VEN. SIR GEORGE PREVOST LATE ARCHDEACON OF GLOUCESTER AS THROWING FURTHER LIGHT ON THE HISTORY LONDON LONGMANS, GREEN, & CO. AND NEW YORK: 15 EAST 16th STREET 1892 All rights reserved EDITOR'S PREFACE THE Editor has preserved the Author's original preface as showing the real purpose and essential character of the autobiography as written by the Author for his children. Very little has been suppressed, and in most cases only what was of a private nature. Some of the Editor's own recollections of the great actors in the movement are inserted here and there in notes, and especially of John Keble. But he clings to the hope that some time or other the life and principal letters of the great saint and religious poet of the present century may be given to the Church. For he must ever earnestly long and pray that John Keble may be made known to the present and future generations, as he was known by them who, like the Author and the Editor, had the privilege of being with him, when cheerfully joining in the joys of young people, and also in graver hours 495870 |
