Synopsis: Excerpt from Editorial Preface: It should be borne in mind that, many of the Bishop's letters being addressed to near relatives, some of the expressions used are of a playful and familiar type, as we might expect, and it has been thought well to retain them as being truer to life, rather than change them for others which would make the Bishop appear of a colder and more formal character. From the large number of people of interest with whom the Bishop was connected or become acquainted, and from the duties of his station having brought him into contact with some of the principal events of modern times, the life of Dr Amherst has an interest for a far larger share of readers than would ordinarily be the case.
