Excerpt from Henry Hart Milman, Dean of St. Paul's: A Biographical Sketch I can only confess and avoid. All my father's friends, all those who would, I believe, have valued any memories, however slight, of his early days, have indeed passed away, and they can now but appeal to, with very rare exceptions, a world Of strangers. Even so, however, I have been advised that it would be a pity to lose them, were it only for the sake of the allusions to Eton and Oxford in the early years Of the now expiring century, and Of the illustration which they offer Of the marked change which within my father's lifetime came over Opinion, especially upon views Of the proper methods Of dealing with religious history.
