Excerpt from Robert Gregory: 1819-1911, Being the Autobiography of Robert Gregory, D.D., Dean of St. Paul'sIT was my privilege to read, with great zest, the autobiography of Dr. Gregory while he was still alive, and he had often talked with me about many of the incidents in it. In preparing it for the press, I have been guided at every point and instructed in every difficulty by his daughters who were with him to the end of his life.
