C: LL, Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, and Sometime Ireland Professor of Exegesis in the University of Oxford To-day is the fourteenth anniversary of Dr. Liddon's death; and some explanation of the long delay in the appearance of this volume may rightly be expected. When the work was entrusted to me in 1890, there was every reason to suppose that I should be at liberty to begin it very soon. But unforeseen changes caused me to have a larger share than was intended in completing and editing the "Life of Dr. Pusey." Before that work was finished in 1898, other changes had deprived me of much of the leisure in which this book was to have been written; and it has been only possible to prepare it as opportunities arose at long intervals during the last six years. The story of Dr. Liddon's life has been told so far as is possible from his letters and diaries. A selection of letters, on general subjects not directly connected with the events of his life, has been placed in the Appendix to each Chapter. The letters which he received and preserved - a very great number, and many of them deeply interesting - have not been used, except in very rare instances: they belong properly to the lives of the writers.
