In putting together this volume of my fathers correspondence, it has been my aim to make it a book of letters rather than in any sense a complete biography. My fathers life, from the time his boyhood ended, fell naturally into three periods, curiously near to equality in point of time. Eighteen years were passed at jQ xford: en came nineteen years at Whatley ;and these tain were followed by nineteen years atS t. Paul s. These divisions of time I have made use of, grouping together the series of letters belonging to each period, and prefixing to each group an introductory sketch, so that the letters might stand with only such a setting of narrative as is needed to prevent obscurity in subject or allusion. Only in theO xford period, where material was more scanty, has it seemed necessary to make the narrative rather more continuous in order that the letters which remain may be fully intelligible. It is the defect of such a method that the treatment of the subjects referred to in the letters is so often slight and fragmentary.
