Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from We Bless Thy Holy Name for All Thy Servants Departed This Life in Thy Faith and Fear, Especially William, Bishop of Gibraltar, and Mary, His Wife: New Impression
When a rich man becomes the proud possessor of a wonderful portrait, it sometimes happens that he feels he cannot keep it for himself. More people should have the joy of looking at it than just his own family and friends; it should hang in a fuller light than his own rooms give; and though there must be many other revelations of the same master, it may be their owners will only the more gladly welcome a sight of this last picture.
Yes, the treasure must go to a gallery; it is far too precious to be kept back.
Even so, I feel I should try to give others the chance of sharing in my dear possession, my close friendship with the Bishop of Gibraltar during the last years of his wonderful earthly life.
