Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoir of the Life and Episcopate of Edward Feild, D.D: Bishop of Newfoundland, 1844-1876
The memory of a great man is not public property in the sense which would justify any one in assuming uninvited the office of his biographer. I certainly should not have ventured to have compiled the-present book had I not been requested to do so by those who were nearest to the great Bishop of Newfoundland, who loved him best and to whom his memory is most dear. To have been, however unworthy, the chronicler of an Episcopate so noble, and of a life so saintly, has been to me a precious privilege, a labour of love and of solemn interest.
