Excerpt from Recollections of Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Late Dean of Westminster: Three Lectures Delivered in Edinburgh in November, 1882 Those who are at the pains of glancing at the following pages will see that I disclaimed from the very first any attempt to speak of Arthur Stanley otherwise than as a deeply attached and grateful friend, and as one Who largely sympa thised'with his views. Had I not done so I should have written differently, or not at all. I trust, however, that I have not allowed my warm affection for one who was, for many years of his life, engaged 'in almost ceaseless controversies, to cause me to give needless pain to those whose difference of views on some most important sub jects made them unable to share the feelings with which he was regarded by those who were more or less in sympathy with him. I should regret any want of fairness on my own part as in itself blamable. I should regret it the more, as some-of those who were necessarily brought in the course of many controversies into the most direct collision with my dear friend, have spoken with generous warmth and tenderness of one, the beauty of whose character they could recognise Without undervaluing their disagree ment with his Opinions, sentiments, or language.
