Excerpt from Life of Richard Steward: Dean Designate of St. Paul's The manuscript of the Life of Dr. Steward was written by my father in the year 1852, and together with a considerable number of other papers on Church History was kept till his death in 1897. A few years before writing it he had edited the Works of Henry Hammond, a friend and contemporary of Steward, for the anglo-catholic Library of Theology, and had made researches into con temporary history, the results of which he published in a series of twenty-seven articles in the Theologian and Ecclesiastic, between 1847 and 1853, entitled Illustrations of Church History during the time of the Great Rebellion. All that related to Dr. Steward in these articles was incorporated in the Life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
