Excerpt from Life of the Right Reverend Samuel Wilberforce, D.D., Lord Bishop of Oxford and Afterwards of Winchester, Vol. 3 of 3: With Selections From His Diaries and Correspondence
The criticisms on these scattered episodes have tended to obscure the due sense of proportion in the public mind, and to lead people to suppose that the Bishop was merelya man in good society and a retailer of good stories, while in reality these features of the narrative are subordinate in the general plan and strue ture of the volume, and still more subordinate in any independent and adequate conception of the Bishop's life and character. None who knew him can doubt the truth that these features of his life were purely incidental, and that the main current and purpose of that life was to be found in devotion to the service of God and His Church.
