Excerpt from The Life of William Warburton, Lord Bishop of Gloucester From 1760-1779 In submitting to the public this Life of Bishop Warburton, an attempt to accomplish a design which I have long had in view, I would beg leave to say that I have neglected, as far as I know, no means by which light might be thrown on Warburton's career and character, and that I have made due acknowledgments, by references at the foot of the page, to all sources from which I have derived information or assistance. To the Rev. Francis Kilvert's 'Selections from Unpublished Papers of Bishop Warburton, ' and 'Life of Bishop Hurd, ' I ought to express my obligations for a few letters of Hare, Sherlock, Jortia, Towne, and two or three of their contemporaries. Bishop Warburton's own letters, it is well known, were almost wholly destroyed, except those addressed to Hurd, which were preserved and printed by him, and published after his death under the title of Letters from an Eminent Prelate to one of his Friends. Among the publications to which, in the prosecution of my task, I was obliged frequently to have recourse, were the numerous pamphlets put forth, for or against Warburton, in his own time.
