Excerpt from Memoir of George Howard Wilkinson, Vol. 2 of 2: Bishop of St. Andrews Dunkeld and Dunblane, and Primus of the Scottish Church, Formerly Bishop of Truro I have not touched on considerations arising from health, family, and income, because your decision would not hinge on these; but it is material that they all bear in one direction. I would rather talk on such a matter than write, but I shall not be in London again this week, and today is all engaged; and I fear you have not much opportunity of reaching Fulham, where, however, I shall be at home at luncheon time to-morrow and Saturday.

Excerpt from Memoir of George Howard Wilkinson, Vol. 1 of 2: Bishop of St. Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane and Primus of the Scottish Church, Formerly Bishop of Truro IN executing the task confided to me by the family of Bishop Wilkinson, it has been my wish and my endeavour, not so much to set forth the events of his life in succession and in detail, as to give a true picture of the man, that posterity may have some notion of what his contemporaries saw in him, and why. Whether I have succeeded in this endeavour or not, I cannot tell. If I have, the success is due to the prayers which have been offered for my work during its progress. It is not easy for ordinary men to depict the Saints in their exaltation and their abasement, or in their daily walk with God. I have attempted to enable the reader to form his own opinion of the subject of the memoir by setting before him his own words in letters and in speeches. I have also given many reminiscences and appreciations from the hands of people who knew him at different periods of his life. This appeared to me likely to bring out the historic reality more truthfully than summaries or descriptions of mine would do it, and with greater variety and freshness. I have departed largely from chronological sequence in certain parts of the book, in order to display more clearly particular portions of his life - for instance, his relations with Archbishop Benson and with the Community of the Epi phany, and at a later time his work for South Africa and for the cause of Unity in Scotland.

This appeared to me likely to bring out the historic reality more truthfully than summaries or descriptions of mine would do it, and with greater variety and freshness... It has been my desire to show the Bishop not only, nor mainly, in his public capacity. His home life, his relations with his family and with his friends, the happy environment in which he worked, have seemed to me at least as important as anything of a more outward character. With this view I have not removed from his letters many details which may not seem to be of great intrinsic importance, but which nevertheless show his surroundings.
