Excerpt from The Household of Faith: Portraits and Essays

His book owes its existence to Dr. Robertson Nicol], who suggested that I should collect and reprint some papers, more or less closely connected with Religion, which I had published during the last few years.

My sincere thanks are due to the various Editors, whose kindness has enabled me to act on the suggestion. The paper on Cardinal Manning is ex tracted, by permission of Messrs. Smith Elder, from a book called Collections and Recollections.
