circumstances of the years he is recording, and has
secured him against mistakes of date, or misrepresentation
of important facts.
It would be impossible to thank publicly the many
correspondents who have contributed valuable remini
scences, or revised the account of episodes in which they
were themselves concerned, or permitted letters in their
possession to be used or read. ,Piquancy might doubtless
have been added to some chapters had a less strict rule
of reticence been observed, but mistakes in this direction,
if such there be, are mistakes upon the right side. What
has been attempted is the plain record of a busy and
eventful life, covering a period in the history
of Church
and Nation the importance of which grows every year
more manifest.
