1860-64] CORRESPONDENCE \VITII STANLEY 287
" MY
The Bishop of London to Canon A. P. Stanley.
"LONDON HOUSE, Feby. 2o///, 1861.
DEAR STANLEY, I agree with you that there is no use
in continuing a discussion, in which each of us must necessarily
take our own view from the data brought under our particular
notice. I feel perfectly confident of the Tightness and wisdom
of what has been done, and I expect you to view the matter as I
do in three months.
"
I will only say two : things First, that there is really no in
consistency between the censure of certain opinions contained in
the book, which it give its general tone in the estimate of those
who regard it as a whole, and what I stated to you yesterday,
and have often stated publicly, to be my opinion of certain of the
Essays and Essayists.
"
Second, That your visit to Fulham at the time of the Epi
scopal Meeting was arranged weeks before, and that I had no
means whatever of till knowing after you had been with us for at
least half of your visit, how things were likely to go as to this
matter. I believe it is best, as you say, that the matter should
drop for the present between us. I hope to be with you on
the 22d of March to stay till the morning of the 25th. By that
time I almost expect that you will be of my mind in the matter :
but if not, we can agree to differ. Ever yours,
"
A. C. LONDON.
" You are of course quite at liberty to repeat what I have said
respecting Temple s, Pattison s, and Jowett s Essays. My
opinions respecting them have been stated continually without
reserve. Would that their Essays were freed from the company
of Powell, Williams, and Wilson."
The Rev. Dr. Temple to the Bishop of London.
