Excerpt from Richard Chenevix Trench, Archbishop, Vol. 1 of 2: Letters and MemorialsThere is no attempt, as will be seen, to give anything like a Life of Archbishop Trench in the following pages. His own wish, expressed more than once, must prevent his Life being written, and had it been otherwise, the task could only have been undertaken with any chance of success by a scholar and a theologian. His wife, in whose hands his letters and papers were left, being desirous that some memorial of him should be made, decided to publish selections from his correspondence, connected by such slight links as would make the letters intelligible, and at her earnest wish the editor undertook the task. More than this has been scrupulously avoided, and it will be seen that these links are usually of the briefest, although occasionally, as in the sketch of Spanish history under Ferdinand VII. in the first volume, and the statement of facts which followed the disestablishment of the Irish Church in the second, they have been necessarily somewhat longer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
