Excerpt from Life and Letters of Mandell Creighton, D.D. Oxon; And Cam;, Sometime Bishop of London, Vol. 1 of 2 In appreciating his qualities I have always tried to use the words Of others rather than my own, and I have to thank many who gladly, for the love they bore him, have helped me by writing appreciations Of his work and character. Of himself, Of the freshness and vigour Of his personality, Of his talk, brilliant, sympathetic, paradoxical, humorous in turn, no written word can give an adequate idea. I can only hope that through these pages there may breathe something of his spirit, and that the temper Of his mind may reveal itself to the sympathetic reader.
