Excerpt from Guesses at Truth

The year 1826, in the meantime, brought with it two other elements in the formation of his character and in determining the future labours of his life. On Easter Day he was admitted, with his Fellowship as a title, to Deacon's orders, by Bishop Law at Wells; and on the following Trinity Sunday was ordained a Priest by Bishop Spark, of Ely, at St. George's, Hanover Square. In the summer of the same year, while remaining at Cambridge to complete a rearrangement of the Library of his College, he had a severe attack of illness, and on his recovery went to Hyde Hall, near Cambridge, then occupied by Sir John Malcolm, to recruit. The kind ness which was then shown him, and for which he returned all the glowing gratitude of his nature, was the commencement of a life-long friendship. He has himself placed on record in the Guesses (pp. 175, what he felt as to the character of the soldier, statesman, patriot, whom he thus learned to revere and love; and the character of the intercourse with kindred intellects, Thirlwall, Whewell, Sedgwick, W. M. Praed - who gathered there in the intervals of their Cambridge work.
