Excerpt from Bishop Walsham How: A Memoir
IT has been a great privilege to be all'owed to compile this memoir of my Father, the first Bishop of Wakefield, and it has been undertaken with the desire that no hands less loving than those of one of his children should turn the pages of his private letters and diaries. Further, it has been my happiness to call his house my home for some five and thirty years of my life. These must be my excuses.
I am fully aware of the many short-comings which will be readily detected by the numbers of people who knew and loved my Father, and which must of necessity occur in the work of one possessing no literary skill or experience.
It would have been impossible to accomplish even this inadequate volume had it not been for the kindness and help of many members of my Father's family, and of a large number of his friends.
In some cases I have quoted what they have written verbatim, in others I have ventured to blend their words into my own narrative, for which I ask their indulgence.
