Excerpt from Life of William Edward Collins: Bishop of GibraltarIN these days, when so many biographies are written, it seemed wrong not to leave to posterity some record of a man who was not only in himself a remarkable personality, but who also had more share in guiding the contemporary history of the Church than most people were aware of. Perhaps it was the more necessary in the case of Bishop Collins, because an account of him had Obtained a wide currency, which might, if not supplemented, have given an untrue impression of his character. The little book alluded to is indeed most tenderly and delicately true. From a single and limited point of observation it portrays the Bishop not only with deep and reverent devotion, but with extraordinary insight and fidelity. But it was not, and was never meant to be, a complete presentation of the Bishop it was only intended to show him as he was in one beautiful and sacred relationship, during his last pathetic years. There are other things which it was important to tell about him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
