Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Memoir of the Rev. John Keble, Late Vicar of Hursley, Vol. 1
There is not a syllable of exaggeration in this beautiful extract; and it is owing to the general feeling, so well described in it, that I find myself called on to prepare a second edition of this book very long before I had any expectation of such a call being made on me; and a sense of this has naturally made me more anxious to correct some inaccuracies which had crept into the former edition. This I have endeavoured to do.
But beside inaccuracies as to facts, friends have suggested in private, and critics through the press have pointed out, what seem to them omissions, or faults in the conception of the work as well as in the execution. In some respects it will be found, I hope, that attention has been paid to such ren marks; and where it has not been, this must not be attributed to want of respect, or consideration. This indeed would have been unpardonable in me.
