Excerpt from The Life and Times of John Wilkins: Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, And Bishop of ChesterMy thanks are due also to Dr Butler, the Master of Trinity, Cambridge, for his kindness in telling me what little there is to tell of Wilkins' short tenure of the Mastership.The Bishop of Chester, Dr Jayne, formerly a Scholar of Wadham, now Bishop of the Diocese which Wilkins held, has helped me with information about the short episcopate of his predecessor. For it I am grateful to him, as well for the suggestion or command which led to my first attempt, made four years ago, to write something about Wilkins.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
