Excerpt from The Exeter Episcopate: Of Archbishop Temple, 1869-1885 Devonians and Cornishmen could claim the last Bishop as their own. There is an additional reason for a separate issue of the Exeter Episcopate: it is complete in itself. Bishop Temple lived to be Archbishop of Canterbury - the only Bishop of Exeter who thus far has reached that position - but all the principles and methods of his Episcopate were laid down at Exeter; it was there that they were conceived and first put into practice. Moreover, the years spent atiexeter had a certain exuberance and freshness which make them stand out beyond all others in his long life as Bishop. It is hoped, therefore, that the interest felt in them will not be confined to Devon and Cornwall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
