Excerpt from The Lives of the Deans of Canterbury, 1541 to 1900 Jansen who painted the beautiful likeness of Milton at the age of nine. Three of the portraits are by George Romney; two by Sir Thomas Lawrence; and one is said to be by Opie. Others are excellent works of Art, although the names of the painters are unknown. The writer of these brief sketches has rendered an entirely disinterested service in preparing and publishing them; and I sincerely hope that a sufficient number of copies will be sold to prevent him from incurring any serious pecuniary loss.

The Early Letters of Bishop Richard Hurd, 1739-1762
Author: Richard HurdPublisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 9780851156538
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
A model edition of the early correspondence of one of George III's favourite bishops. ARCHIVES Richard Hurd is best known to ecclesiastical historians as one of George III's favourite bishops who was offered, and declined, the archbishopric of Canterbury. These letters, therefore, illuminate the early career of one of the most prominent clerics of the late eighteenth century. The letters begin in 1739, just after Hurd had graduated B.A. at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. They chart his gradual climb up the ladder of ecclesiastical preferment, through his time as Fellow at Emmanuel and end with him settled in the comfortable country rectory of Thurcaston in Leicestershire. Hurd had a wide circle of correspondents. He became a close friend of William Warburton, Bishop of Gloucester, perhaps the most prominent controverialist of the period. He was also a member of a literary circle which included the poets Thomas Gray and William Mason. Indeed, Hurd himself is well-known to students of English literatureas the author of Letters on Chivalry and Romanceand as a significant figure among the so-called `pre-romantics'. Hurd's letters reveal the full range of his interests, from theology and university politics, through literature, to painting and sculpture. This edition, therefore, not only tells us about Hurd's early life and career, but also provides a valuable insight into the social life of the Anglican clergy in the eighteenth century.
