Excerpt from Addresses and Discourses, Historical and Religious: With a Paper on Bishop Berkeley

In discourses like those which follow there must needs be repetitions of events and thoughts which would not occur in a connected history, and which in such a history might well be counted blemishes. Here, however, they appear under new conditions and with varied connections and surroundings; and, at all events, could by no possibility have been avoided.

One paper presents an exception to the rule which has shaped this collection, that, namely, on Bishop Berkeley. The life, however, of the mitred saint of Cloyne was so intimately connected with the story of the diocese of Connecticut, in his loving sympathy, wise counsels, and benefactions to the cause of good learning, that a sketch of him can hardly be re garded as out of place among these memorials.
