Excerpt from George Herbert and His Times
For a biography of George Herbert is the well-known Life by Izaak Walton, first published in 1670. Apart from this, and a brief memorial included by Barnabas Oley in his Preface to The Country Parson the materials in question consist of hardly more than a few official records. For this reason Walton's pages, familiar as they are to many, have been largely drawn from in the following chapters; and if in many places the quotations are of some length, this has seemed better than to attempt what could only be an obvious paraphrase of the text. Indeed, it must be frankly admitted that the labours of a modern biographer of Herbert are reduced to little more than a commentary on Walton's narrative, except when, as in the present instance, an effort has been.
