Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Edward White Benson, Sometime Archbishop of Canterbury, Vol. 1 of 2
Hen I was beginning to consider the possibility of writing a Memoir of my father, I received the following letter from the Bishop of Durham, to whom a common friend had written saying that he had dissuaded me from attempting it auckland castle, bishop auckland. Dec. 29, 1896. MY dear arthur, I feel very strongly that it would be almost 'impiety' for any one to attempt to write your father's Life but yourself. The work comes to you as a sacred charge. Every one I am sure who has knowledge will feel the same. Forgive me for writing. It will be a great and difficult work, but it is your work.
